Terms of Service

Last updated: August 22, 2026

1. Who you are agreeing with

GroqBoard (the "Application") is created and operated by Alex Goldberg (the "Service Provider"). These Terms govern your use of the Application and of the API key included subscription. By installing or using the Application you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Application.

These Terms are in addition to the Google Play Terms of Service, which govern every purchase you make through Google Play.

2. The two ways to use GroqBoard

Bring your own key. Free. You create your own API key with Groq, OpenRouter or Soniox, enter it in Settings, and every feature of the Application works. You pay your AI provider directly, under your own account and their terms. The Service Provider charges you nothing and places no usage limits on you.

API key included. $2.99 per month. The Service Provider supplies the API key, so you configure nothing. Your requests pass through the Service Provider's proxy on the way to the AI provider. This plan carries the fair use limits described in section 5.

You can switch between the two at any time. Cancelling the subscription does not disable the Application: it returns to the free plan, where you use your own key.

4. Refunds

Payments are processed by Google Play, and refunds follow Google Play's refund policy rather than a separate policy of ours. The free trial exists so you can test the Application before any money changes hands. If something went wrong with a charge, write to [email protected] and the Service Provider will try to help, but the final decision on a refund belongs to Google.

5. Fair use limits on the API key included plan

On the paid plan the Service Provider pays the AI provider for your usage, so that plan carries limits. They are set far above normal use, and they exist to stop runaway usage, shared credentials and software faults, not to ration ordinary dictation:

If you reach a limit, the Application tells you which one and when it resets. Your subscription is not cancelled and nothing is lost. You can also switch to your own API key at any moment and continue with no limit from us. The Service Provider may adjust these limits, and will not lower them in a way that affects normal use without notice.

6. The lifetime license

Before version 11, GroqBoard sold a one-time license that unlocked the Application. If you bought it, it remains yours and the Application keeps working exactly as it did: you always used your own API key, and that is now free for everyone. In addition, holders of that license receive 6 months of the API key included plan at no charge, applied automatically, with nothing to claim and no code to enter. The one-time license is no longer sold to new users.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Application, and in particular not to use the API key included plan, to:

The Service Provider may suspend access to the paid plan if it is used this way. If that happens to you and you believe it was a mistake, write to support and it will be reviewed.

8. Third-party AI providers

The Application is a front end for third-party AI services. On both plans your audio and text are sent to an AI provider for processing, and each provider handles that data under its own terms and privacy policy. On the free plan you have your own account with that provider and the relationship is directly between you and them. On the paid plan the Service Provider holds the account. What is sent, and what is kept, is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

9. Availability

The Application is provided "as is" and "as available". AI providers and the network can be slow, can fail, and can change their models or their pricing without warning, and the Service Provider does not control them. No guarantee is made that the service will be uninterrupted, error free, or that transcriptions and AI edits will be accurate. Check anything that matters before you send it.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service Provider is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, lost data, lost profits, or anything arising from your use of the Application or of any third-party AI provider. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the Application in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that consumer law in your country gives you and does not allow to be waived.

11. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated. The updated version is published on this page with a new date at the top. Continued use of the Application after a change means you accept it. If a change affects the subscription in a way that requires your consent, Google Play will ask for it.

12. Ending the agreement

You can end this agreement at any time by cancelling any subscription and uninstalling the Application. The Service Provider may end it if you breach these Terms, or may discontinue the Application, in which case any unused paid period will be handled through Google Play.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Mexico, without regard to conflict of law rules, and without depriving you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence.
