Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your purchase and use of NoteHaul (the "Software") and the website at notehaul.yuemishuma.com (the "Site"). By purchasing, activating, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use the Software.
1. Who we are, and what this is not
ZHONG WENKANG is an individual developer based in the People's Republic of China ("we", "us", "our").
NoteHaul is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to Read AI, Inc. or any other meeting-notes provider. Third-party names such as "Read.ai" are trademarks of their respective owners and appear in our materials only to describe, factually, which service the Software works with.
2. License grant
Subject to these Terms and to payment of the applicable fee, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software on up to 3 devices that you personally use, for your own internal and personal purposes. Each license can be activated on at most 3 devices.
A free version of the Software can export up to 3 meetings in total, counted across all exports. The paid one-time license unlocks unlimited exports.
The license is a lifetime license for the current major version of the Software. "Lifetime" means for as long as we continue to make that major version available and support it; it does not mean forever, and it does not create a right to future major versions, future products, or future features. We may release later major versions under separate terms or a separate fee. Updates within the current major version are included.
You may not:
- copy, redistribute, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or share the Software or your license key;
- publish, share, or make your license key available to others;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
- use the Software to build or train a competing product, or to extract data other than your own.
We retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. You receive a license, not a sale of the Software itself.
3. Acceptable use
You are responsible for what you export. By using the Software you agree that you will:
- export only data you have the rights to export — your own transcripts and notes, or data you are otherwise authorized to access and copy;
- comply with the terms of service of the third-party provider whose data you are exporting, including any API terms, rate limits, and usage restrictions that apply to your account;
- use only accounts and credentials you are entitled to use, and keep your own credentials secure;
- comply with all applicable laws, including data protection, confidentiality, employment, and export-control laws, and any confidentiality obligations you owe to your employer, clients, or meeting participants;
- not use the Software to access, collect, or disclose another person's data without authorization;
- not attempt to circumvent authentication, authorization, rate limits, paywalls, or technical restrictions of any third-party service, and not use the Software for scraping or for any purpose other than interacting with the provider's official API as an authorized user;
- not upload or introduce malware, or use the Software in a way that interferes with or disrupts any third-party service or network;
- not use the Software to infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or confidentiality rights.
We may suspend or terminate your license if we reasonably believe you have violated this section.
You are the data controller for your own exports. Because the Software processes your data locally and we never receive it, we cannot review what you export and we are not responsible for whether you had the right to export it.
4. Third-party service dependency
The Software depends on third-party services that we do not own and do not control. In particular:
- Meeting-notes provider API. The Software retrieves your transcripts through Read.ai's official API using your own authorization via Read.ai's official OAuth. The provider may change, rate-limit, restrict, deprecate, or discontinue that API, change its authentication, change the data it returns, or restrict which accounts may use the API. At the time of writing, Read.ai makes its API available to all users regardless of plan, including free accounts (members of a Read.ai workspace need the workspace's Downloads option enabled); Read.ai may change this at its discretion. Any of these can break or limit the Software's functionality, temporarily or permanently.
- Payment and licensing provider. Purchases are handled by Creem, and license checks pass through our license service at
/api/license/*on this site, which forwards them to Creem for verification (see Section 5). - Browser. The Software runs as a Manifest V3 extension and depends on the browser's extension platform, which the browser vendor may change.
We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, availability, or terms of any third party. We will make reasonable efforts to adapt to changes and to keep buyers informed, but we do not guarantee that any third-party API or platform will remain available, compatible, or unchanged, and we do not promise any specific timeline for fixes. See the Refund Policy for the refund policy that applies.
You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining your own account, plan, and API access with the provider, including any fees the provider charges.
5. Price, payment, and Creem as Merchant of Record
The Software has a free version that can export up to 3 meetings in total, counted across all exports. The paid version is sold for a one-time fee of $19 (USD), which unlocks unlimited exports, unless a different price is shown at checkout. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.
Payments are processed by Creem, which acts as the Merchant of Record for the transaction. This means:
- Creem is the seller of record for your purchase and handles payment processing, invoicing, and applicable taxes;
- Creem issues your license key;
- the Software verifies that license key through our license service (which checks it with Creem) at activation, and periodically re-verifies it afterwards;
- only the license key and activation information are sent for that verification — never your meeting content;
- each license can be activated on at most 3 devices;
- Creem's own terms and policies apply to the payment transaction and to the personal data Creem processes as an independent controller.
Prices may change for future purchases. A price change does not affect a purchase you have already completed. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy: 14 days from the purchase date, no questions asked, processed through Creem, with the license key deactivated on refund.
6. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy describes what data is and is not handled by the Software and by the Site, and forms part of these Terms. In short: your transcripts are processed only locally in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers, and we do not operate a server that stores meeting data. The only server we operate is the license proxy, which never receives meeting content. Activation requires sending your license key and activation information through our license service, which checks it with Creem.
7. No warranty
The Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and quiet enjoyment.
Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that:
- the Software will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free, or secure;
- the Software will remain compatible with any third-party API, service, or browser version;
- exports will be complete, accurate, or formatted exactly as you expect;
- defects will be corrected, or that a fix will arrive within any particular time.
You use the Software at your own risk, and you are responsible for keeping your own backups of exported data and of your transcripts. Do not rely on the Software as your only copy of any data.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or of statutory consumer rights. Where that is the case, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted, and nothing in these Terms limits rights you cannot lawfully waive.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, opportunity, or data, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages;
- we are not liable for any loss arising from your use or inability to use the Software, from any change to or unavailability of a third-party API or service, from your failure to keep backups, or from any export you were not entitled to make;
- our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Software or these Terms is limited to the amount you actually paid for the Software.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where such limits are prohibited.
9. Termination
- By you. You may stop using the Software at any time; uninstalling the extension ends your use. Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy.
- By us. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms (including Section 3), if we are required to do so by law, or if we discontinue the Software. Where we terminate for convenience and not for your breach, we will, where practicable, provide a pro-rata or full refund of the price you paid at our reasonable discretion.
- Effect of termination. On termination, the license granted in Section 2 ends and you must stop using the Software and deactivate or discontinue use of your license key. Exported files that you already created remain yours; we have no access to them and no ability to delete them.
- Survival. Sections 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 survive termination.
10. Changes to the Software and to these Terms
We may update, change, or discontinue the Software (or any feature of it) at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law or in our practices. The version of these Terms in effect at the time of your purchase governs that purchase; material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective date" above. Continued use of the Software after an update means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to an updated version, stop using the Software.
11. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have in your country of residence, the courts of the People's Republic of China have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Software.
If you are a consumer, you may also have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence, and nothing in this section takes that right away where it cannot be waived.
