Terms and Conditions
Terms version: v2
Effective October 13, 2026
These terms apply to the Audette app and the Audette service at audette.app. By creating an Audette account or using the app, you agree to them.
The service
Audette is a personal listening tracker for audiobooks, podcasts, and long-form audio. You record what you listen to; Audette stores that listening data on your account and gives it back to you. Audette is not a playback service and does not provide audio content.
Your account
You are responsible for the accuracy of your account details, for keeping your sign-in credentials safe, and for activity on your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts used to abuse the service, attack its infrastructure, or break the law. You can permanently delete your account and all personal data from Settings in the app at any time.
Audette Plus: one-time purchase
Audette Plus is a one-time, non-consumable purchase through Google Play. It has no subscription, renewal, or recurring charge. Plus access has no scheduled expiration while we operate the Audette service. It includes every current and future Plus feature, even if we introduce subscription pricing.
Earlier purchases keep their original terms. This service-duration description applies only to purchases made after this revision is published and presented before checkout. If you bought under earlier terms or an earlier purchase offer, including through an older app version, the promises made when you bought remain unchanged. This includes the promise of permanent Plus access and future Plus features even if subscriptions are introduced. Any permanent or lifetime access promise made as part of your purchase offer, including in a store listing or product title, remains honored. The closure commitments below add protections for those purchases; they do not replace or reduce existing rights.
- Founder pricing. The launch price is US $4.99, localized by your store. The price is planned to rise to US $9.99 after 500 purchases, with advance notice. The product title and price shown in the app come from the active store offering.
- Restore Purchases. Restore Purchases, available for purchase recovery in Settings and on the upgrade screen, reconnects an eligible store purchase to your Audette account.
If we close Audette
If we decide to permanently close the Audette service, we will stop selling Plus when we announce the closure and give at least 90 days' advance notice in the app and by email to the address on your account. Until the announced closure date, we will keep existing Plus access working and provide every user with a free, complete machine-readable export of their listening data, regardless of Plus status.
We may close sooner only if a legal requirement, court order, or urgent security threat that we cannot otherwise reasonably contain requires it. We will give as much notice as possible and provide safe, lawful export access wherever possible. We will explain the closure date, export deadline, data retention and deletion schedule, and how to request applicable refunds or other remedies. Contact support@audette.app if you cannot obtain your export.
These commitments do not give us an unrestricted right to cancel a paid service. If we fail to meet our obligations, you retain any remedies available to you. Nothing in these terms limits mandatory consumer rights, including applicable refund rights. A change of ownership, service name, or infrastructure does not by itself end our commitments to purchasers.
Refunds
Purchases are processed through the applicable app store. For Google Play purchases, you can request a refund from Google; we can also issue refunds through Google Play. Contact support@audette.app for help. For any Apple App Store purchase, request a refund through Apple. We will honor any refund or other remedy required by applicable law using the applicable payment process. Deleting your Audette account does not itself refund a purchase or remove any refund rights you may have. A refund or revocation that ends your entitlement removes Plus access without deleting your listening data.
Your data
Your listening data belongs to you. A complete machine-readable data export is available free of charge from Settings, regardless of Plus status. Losing Plus locks paid actions but never deletes or hides your library, listening history, or data export. How data is collected and processed is described in the privacy policy.
Third-party services and accounts
Audette can record listening from, and import library data through, services you use elsewhere, such as Audible, Spotify, Libby, Storytel, or Audiobookshelf. Any such connection or import is optional and started by you. Your relationship with each provider stays entirely between you and that provider, under the provider's own terms, and using an import or connection feature is at your own risk. Audette is not responsible for your accounts with any third-party provider, including any restriction, suspension, or other action a provider may take on an account, and does not guarantee that an import or connection keeps working if a provider changes its service. Audette never asks you to share a third-party password with Audette; where a sign-in is needed, you sign in on the provider's own pages.
Trademarks
Audible and Amazon are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Spotify, Libby, Storytel, Audiobookshelf, Apple Podcasts, and all other third-party names, logos, and marks that appear in Audette are the property of their respective owners. Audette uses these names only to identify services and where you listen. Audette is an independent app and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any of these companies.
No warranty and limitation of liability
Audette is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Audette and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the service. This limitation does not limit our purchase, service-closure, export, or refund commitments, liability for failing to meet those commitments, or any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Changes to these terms
Changes are posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes are also communicated inside the app before they take effect. Notice of a change does not itself replace or reduce the terms or promises under which you previously purchased Plus.
