Terms of Service.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Doing and any other software or services (“Services”) provided by Doing Systems, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), an Oregon limited liability company. By downloading, installing, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Doing is a macOS application that provides voice-to-text transcription. The application supports multiple transcription providers:

• Local transcription (Parakeet) — runs entirely on your device with no network calls. Free to use.
• Cloud transcription (OpenAI Whisper, Google Gemini) — sends audio to third-party APIs for processing. Requires your own API keys and is subject to those providers’ terms and pricing.

Upon purchase, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Doing on up to three (3) devices you own or control (e.g., desktop, laptop, and one backup device). You may not redistribute, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the software.

Doing is a one-time purchase of $49 USD. Payment is processed by Paddle (paddle.com), our merchant of record, which handles all billing, sales tax, and VAT on our behalf. By purchasing, you also agree to Paddle’s Terms.

Cloud transcription costs (OpenAI, Google) are billed directly by those providers through your own API keys. We do not mark up or intermediate these charges.

We offer a 14-day refund policy from the date of purchase. If you are not satisfied with Doing, contact us at privacy@doing.tools within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. After 14 days, purchases are non-refundable. See our Refund Policy for full details.

Doing integrates with third-party services that you may choose to use with your own API keys. These include:

• OpenAI — for cloud voice transcription (Whisper API) and LLM-powered Skills processing
• Google Gemini — for cloud voice transcription and LLM-powered Skills processing

When you configure and use these services through Doing, you are establishing a direct relationship with those providers using your own API keys and accounts. You are responsible for complying with each provider’s terms of service, acceptable use policies, and privacy policies. We encourage you to review:

• OpenAI Terms of Use / Usage Policies
• Google Gemini API Terms of Service

Doing Systems, LLC is not a party to your agreement with these providers. We do not control how they process your data, and we are not liable for their actions, outages, or policy changes. Your use of third-party services through Doing is at your own risk.

We believe your data is yours. Doing stores all transcripts, configuration, and API keys locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store your audio recordings, transcriptions, or personal data on our servers.

When you choose to use cloud transcription or Skills processing (see Section 6), your audio or text is sent directly from your device to the third-party provider. This data does not pass through our servers. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

You agree not to:

• Use the Services to record or transcribe another person’s speech without their consent
• Share your license with others or circumvent licensing restrictions
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software
• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or infrastructure

Doing and all associated trademarks, code, and documentation are the property of Doing Systems, LLC. Your purchase grants a license to use the software, not ownership of the software itself. All transcriptions you create belong to you.

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, language, accent, and the transcription provider selected. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any transcription output. You should review all transcriptions before relying on them.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Doing Systems, LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim related to the Services is limited to the amount you paid for the software.

Doing includes automatic update functionality. Updates may include bug fixes, new features, and security patches. We reserve the right to modify the software through updates. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of any changes.

We may terminate or suspend your license if you violate these Terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the software and delete all copies. Your locally stored transcripts remain yours regardless of license status.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the application or via email. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Multnomah County, Oregon.
