Welcome to NoYapYap.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of noyapyap.com, the NoYapYap application, and related services, features, software, content, and functionality collectively referred to as the "Service."

By creating an account, accessing, purchasing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

NoYapYap is operated from Maryland, United States.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use NoYapYap.

By creating an account, you represent that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms.

If applicable law requires a higher minimum age or parental or guardian authorization in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only after those requirements have been satisfied.

2. Your Account

You must create an account to use the Service.

You agree to provide accurate information and keep your account information reasonably current.

Each account is intended for use by one individual only.

You may not:

  • Share your account with another person
  • Allow another person to regularly use your account
  • Sell, rent, transfer, or sublicense your account
  • Create accounts for fraudulent, abusive, or deceptive purposes

You are responsible for safeguarding your password and account credentials.

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You should notify NoYapYap promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

3. Description of the Service

NoYapYap is designed to help users analyze and improve public speaking and communication skills.

Features may include:

  • Recording speeches
  • Uploading speech recordings
  • Automated transcription
  • Speech-performance analysis
  • Pitch and voice analysis
  • Speaking-rate analysis
  • Pause analysis
  • Filler-word analysis
  • Vocabulary analysis
  • Expressiveness analysis
  • Speech scoring
  • Progress tracking
  • Speaking exercises
  • Clubs and community functionality
  • Other educational or speech-improvement tools

The precise features available may vary by account type and may change over time.

4. Speech Analysis and Automated Results

NoYapYap uses automated systems, algorithms, speech-recognition technology, and other software to analyze recordings and generate feedback.

NoYapYap may generate:

  • Transcripts
  • Scores
  • Ratings
  • Speech measurements
  • Performance assessments
  • Recommendations
  • Comparisons
  • Progress indicators
These outputs are estimates.

Automated transcription and speech analysis can contain mistakes, and differences in microphones, background noise, accents, recording quality, speaking style, algorithms, and other factors can affect results.

You should independently verify any transcript or analysis that is important to you.

NoYapYap does not guarantee that:

  • A transcript will be completely accurate
  • A speech score objectively represents speaking ability
  • Recommendations will improve performance
  • Two recordings will receive identical or consistent scores
  • Analysis methods will remain unchanged over time

5. Educational and Self-Improvement Purpose

NoYapYap is intended primarily for educational, practice, coaching, and self-improvement purposes.

NoYapYap scores and feedback should not be treated as professional certifications or authoritative evaluations of an individual.

The Service does not provide:

  • Medical advice
  • Mental-health advice
  • Psychological diagnosis
  • Legal advice
  • Employment advice
  • Financial advice
  • Professional certification

You should consult an appropriately qualified professional when professional advice is required.

6. High-Impact Decisions

NoYapYap scores, analysis, or automated recommendations may not be used as the sole basis for making significant decisions about another person involving:

  • Hiring
  • Firing
  • Promotion
  • Compensation
  • Education admission
  • Lending or credit
  • Insurance eligibility
  • Housing
  • Healthcare
  • Legal rights
  • Similar high-impact decisions

NoYapYap is designed as a speaking-development tool rather than a system for determining eligibility for important opportunities or services.

7. Your Content

You retain ownership of content you submit to NoYapYap, including, as applicable:

  • Audio recordings
  • Speech recordings
  • Written speeches
  • Scripts
  • Text
  • Profile content
  • Other material you upload or submit

These Terms do not transfer ownership of your original content to NoYapYap.

8. License You Give NoYapYap

You grant NoYapYap a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, copy, transmit, process, transcribe, analyze, convert, back up, and display your content as reasonably necessary to:

  • Operate the Service
  • Provide features you request
  • Generate transcripts
  • Generate speech analysis
  • Generate scores and recommendations
  • Display your information back to you
  • Maintain backups
  • Secure and troubleshoot the Service

This license exists only as necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the Service as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

The license applicable to identifiable user content ends when that content is deleted from our systems, subject to reasonable backup, security, and legal retention periods.

9. De-Identified and Aggregated Information

NoYapYap may generate aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information based on use of the Service.

For example, we may study:

  • Speaking-rate patterns
  • Pause patterns
  • Filler-word usage
  • Pitch variation
  • Speech-score distributions
  • Characteristics associated with stronger or weaker speeches
  • General usage patterns

We may use properly de-identified or aggregated information to:

  • Improve scoring algorithms
  • Calibrate speech-analysis systems
  • Develop new scoring techniques
  • Research speaking techniques
  • Develop new features
  • Improve speaking recommendations
  • Improve the Service

NoYapYap may retain information that has been appropriately de-identified or aggregated so that it is no longer reasonably associated with an identifiable individual.

10. No Machine-Learning Training License to Identifiable Content

Your limited operational license does not by itself grant NoYapYap an unrestricted right to use identifiable recordings or transcripts to train general-purpose machine-learning models.

Any materially different use of identifiable user content will be governed by the Privacy Policy, additional notice, consent where required, or updated terms as applicable.

11. NoYapYap Intellectual Property

Except for user-owned content, NoYapYap and its licensors own all rights in the Service and its proprietary technology.

This includes, as applicable:

  • Software
  • Source code
  • Algorithms
  • Scoring methods
  • Speech-analysis techniques
  • Databases
  • Application architecture
  • User interfaces
  • Graphics
  • Branding
  • Logos
  • Designs
  • Documentation
  • Original content
  • Compilations
  • Features and functionality

These Terms give you a limited right to use the Service. They do not transfer ownership of NoYapYap intellectual property to you.

You may not copy, reproduce, sell, license, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit NoYapYap proprietary technology except where permitted by applicable law or expressly authorized by NoYapYap.

12. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Service.

You may not:

  • Attempt to hack or gain unauthorized access to NoYapYap
  • Circumvent authentication or security controls
  • Probe, scan, or test system vulnerabilities without authorization
  • Introduce malware, viruses, ransomware, malicious code, or harmful files
  • Interfere with the operation or availability of the Service
  • Attempt denial-of-service attacks
  • Abuse APIs or infrastructure
  • Scrape the Service using automated tools without written authorization
  • Use bots to collect user information
  • Reverse engineer restricted portions of the Service except where legally permitted
  • Use the Service for unlawful activity
  • Upload content you do not have the right to use
  • Impersonate another individual
  • Commit fraud
  • Harass or threaten other users
  • Attempt to obtain private information belonging to another user
  • Circumvent subscription or usage restrictions
  • Use NoYapYap in a way that places an unreasonable load on our systems

We may investigate suspected violations and take reasonable steps to protect the Service and its users.

13. Community Conduct

Where community, profile, or club features are available, you must use them responsibly.

You may not submit or display content that is:

  • Threatening
  • Harassing
  • Abusive
  • Fraudulent
  • Intentionally defamatory
  • Unlawfully discriminatory
  • Sexually explicit
  • Exploitative
  • Intended to intimidate another user
  • Otherwise unlawful

We may remove content, suspend community functionality, remove memberships, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

14. Clubs

NoYapYap may allow users to create, administer, or join clubs.

Club owners and administrators are responsible for reasonably managing their clubs and memberships.

NoYapYap is not responsible for disputes between club owners, administrators, and members.

We may:

  • Remove a club
  • Remove content
  • Remove a membership
  • Restrict club functionality
  • Suspend club administrators

when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users, comply with law, or secure the Service.

15. Copyright and Intellectual Property Complaints

You may not upload material that infringes another person's copyright or intellectual-property rights.

If you believe material available through NoYapYap infringes your copyright, you may send a notice to:

contact@noyapyap.com

Your notice should identify:

  • The copyrighted work you believe has been infringed
  • The material you believe is infringing
  • Where the material is located
  • Your contact information
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized
  • A statement that the information in your notice is accurate
  • Your physical or electronic signature

NoYapYap may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content and may terminate accounts belonging to repeat infringers where appropriate.

Nothing in this section prevents NoYapYap from implementing a more formal DMCA notice-and-takedown process.

16. Free Service

NoYapYap may offer a free account or free level of service.

Free features, limits, storage, processing allowances, scoring functionality, or other benefits may change at any time.

We may introduce, modify, or remove limitations on free accounts.

Use of a free account does not guarantee continued availability of any particular feature.

17. Paid Subscriptions

NoYapYap may offer paid subscription plans.

Plans may include:

  • Monthly subscriptions
  • Annual subscriptions

Specific prices, features, billing intervals, and usage limits will be disclosed when you subscribe.

Payment processing may be provided by Stripe or another third-party payment processor.

NoYapYap does not intend to directly store complete payment-card numbers.

18. Automatic Renewal

Unless otherwise stated when you subscribe, paid subscriptions automatically renew at the end of the applicable billing period until canceled.

Before purchasing an automatically renewing plan, you will be provided with applicable information concerning:

  • The subscription price
  • Billing frequency
  • Automatic renewal
  • Material subscription terms
  • How to cancel

By purchasing an automatically renewing subscription, you authorize recurring charges according to the subscription terms presented at purchase.

We will provide cancellation methods intended to be reasonably straightforward and consistent with applicable law.

19. Subscription Cancellation

You may cancel an automatically renewing subscription through available account or billing functionality.

Unless otherwise stated, cancellation stops future renewal charges but does not immediately terminate access for a billing period that has already been paid.

After cancellation, paid features will generally remain available until the end of your current paid billing period.

Your account may then be downgraded to the applicable free tier.

Deleting your NoYapYap account may also terminate access to paid features, but you should separately cancel any active subscription when prompted to ensure future billing is stopped.

20. Refunds

Refund requests are considered case-by-case, except where refunds are required by applicable law.

Approval of a refund in one situation does not obligate NoYapYap to provide refunds in other situations.

Factors we may consider include:

  • Billing errors
  • Duplicate charges
  • Technical failures
  • Whether substantial use of the paid Service occurred
  • Timing of the request
  • Other relevant circumstances

Nothing in this section limits mandatory refund or cancellation rights provided by applicable consumer law.

21. Price Changes

NoYapYap may change subscription prices.

Where required or reasonably appropriate, we will provide advance notice before a price increase applies to an existing recurring subscription.

A price change will generally apply beginning with a future renewal period rather than retroactively altering a period that has already been paid.

If you do not agree to an upcoming price change, you may cancel before the applicable renewal.

22. Failed Payments

If a recurring payment fails, we may attempt to process the payment again as permitted by our payment processor and applicable law.

If payment cannot be completed, we may downgrade the account to a free tier or restrict paid features.

We are not obligated to permanently delete an account solely because a payment fails.

23. No Free Trials

NoYapYap does not currently plan to offer automatically converting free trials.

If free trials are introduced in the future, their duration, conversion terms, and billing conditions will be disclosed before enrollment.

24. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party infrastructure and service providers.

These may include providers such as:

  • Hetzner
  • SaladCloud
  • Resend
  • Stripe
  • Telecommunications providers
  • Internet infrastructure providers
  • Other hosting or technical vendors

Problems affecting third-party systems may affect availability or functionality of NoYapYap.

We do not control all third-party infrastructure and cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation of services operated by third parties.

25. Experimental and Beta Features

NoYapYap is an evolving platform.

Some features may be:

  • Experimental
  • Beta
  • Under development
  • Incomplete
  • Modified frequently

Speech-analysis methods, weighting formulas, scoring ranges, algorithms, benchmarks, and recommendations may change as the Service develops.

This means that a score generated today may not be directly comparable to a score generated under a future version of the analysis system.

We may add, modify, replace, or discontinue features without guaranteeing permanent availability.

26. Changes to the Service

We may modify, update, restrict, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service.

We may also perform:

  • Maintenance
  • Infrastructure migrations
  • Security updates
  • Database changes
  • Algorithm updates
  • Emergency maintenance

We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available or operate without interruption.

Where reasonably practicable, we may provide notice of major planned discontinuation.

27. Storage and Data Loss

NoYapYap may allow you to retain recordings, transcripts, and other information through your account.

However, the Service should not be treated as your only permanent backup or archival system.

You are responsible for maintaining independent copies of information that is important to you.

Although we use measures intended to protect stored information, we cannot guarantee that information will never be accidentally lost, corrupted, deleted, or become unavailable.

28. Account Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, downgrade, or terminate an account where reasonably necessary because of:

  • Violation of these Terms
  • Fraud
  • Abuse
  • Security threats
  • Illegal activity
  • Repeated infringement
  • Misuse of infrastructure
  • Nonpayment
  • Attempts to circumvent service restrictions
  • Conduct that materially harms NoYapYap or its users

Depending on the seriousness of the conduct, we may act without advance notice.

29. Termination for Other Reasons

We may terminate or discontinue an account or particular service for legitimate operational, legal, security, or business reasons even where the user has not violated these Terms.

Where reasonably practicable, we will provide advance notice before such termination.

If we terminate an active paid subscription without cause, we may provide an appropriate prorated refund or other remedy where required by law or appropriate under the circumstances.

30. Termination by You

You may stop using NoYapYap at any time.

You may terminate your account by using available account-deletion functionality.

Account deletion is subject to the data-retention practices described in our Privacy Policy.

Deleting your account does not eliminate obligations or liabilities that arose before deletion.

31. Effects of Termination

When your account is terminated:

  • Your right to use the Service ends
  • Your access to stored content may end
  • Paid features will no longer be available
  • Certain account information may be deleted according to our Privacy Policy

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution.

32. Service Provided "As Is"

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."

NOYAPYAP MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT:

  • THE SERVICE WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE
  • THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE
  • TRANSCRIPTS WILL BE ACCURATE
  • SCORES WILL BE OBJECTIVELY CORRECT
  • ANALYSIS WILL PRODUCE A PARTICULAR RESULT
  • DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST
  • ALL DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED
  • THE SERVICE WILL MEET EVERY USER'S REQUIREMENTS

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOYAPYAP DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

33. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOYAPYAP'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO NOYAPYAP DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID NOYAPYAP DURING THAT PERIOD, NOYAPYAP'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

34. Exclusion of Certain Damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOYAPYAP WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

This may include:

  • Lost profits
  • Lost business opportunities
  • Lost data
  • Loss of goodwill
  • Reputational harm
  • Business interruption
  • Loss resulting from inaccurate analysis
  • Loss resulting from unavailable recordings or transcripts

These exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

35. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NoYapYap and its owners, affiliates, contractors, service providers, officers, employees, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses resulting from:

  • Your unlawful use of the Service
  • Content you upload without appropriate rights
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your infringement of another person's rights
  • Fraudulent or abusive conduct through your account

This section does not require you to indemnify NoYapYap for claims caused solely by NoYapYap's own unlawful conduct where such indemnification is prohibited by law.

36. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except where applicable consumer-protection law requires otherwise.

Mandatory rights available to consumers under the laws of their jurisdiction are not waived solely because these Terms select Maryland law.

37. Disputes and Venue

Except where applicable law provides otherwise, disputes arising from these Terms or the Service will be brought in a state or federal court having appropriate jurisdiction in Maryland.

You and NoYapYap consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts to the extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms prevents an eligible party from bringing a matter in a small-claims court with proper jurisdiction.

38. Class-Action Waiver

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND NOYAPYAP AGREE THAT CLAIMS WILL BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

This provision does not apply where such a waiver is prohibited or unenforceable under applicable law.

If a court with appropriate jurisdiction determines that this waiver cannot lawfully be enforced in a particular case, that determination will apply only to the extent required.

39. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves.

Changes may be made to address:

  • New features
  • New subscription plans
  • Changes in law
  • Security requirements
  • Infrastructure changes
  • New business practices
  • Changes in speech-analysis technology

For material changes, we may provide notice by email, through the Service, or through another reasonable method.

Where legally required, material changes will not become binding until appropriate notice, consent, or other requirements have been satisfied.

The effective date displayed at the top indicates when the current version became effective.

40. Privacy

Your use of NoYapYap is also subject to the NoYapYap Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, store, disclose, and delete personal information.

If these Terms and the Privacy Policy address different subjects, each document should be interpreted according to its respective purpose.

41. Assignment

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without NoYapYap's consent.

NoYapYap may assign or transfer these Terms in connection with:

  • Formation of a company or LLC to operate NoYapYap
  • Corporate restructuring
  • Merger
  • Acquisition
  • Financing
  • Sale of assets
  • Transfer of the Service

Any transfer remains subject to applicable law.

42. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

An invalid provision will be interpreted or limited as closely as legally possible to its intended purpose.

43. No Waiver

Failure by NoYapYap to enforce a provision of these Terms does not permanently waive the right to enforce that provision later.

44. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for a particular paid plan or feature, form the agreement between you and NoYapYap regarding use of the Service.
