Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you", "your", or "User") and Loheden AI Solutions AB, a company registered in Sweden ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of the RespectASO software, including the desktop application, this website (respectaso.com), and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, or using the Service, purchasing a Pro license, or clicking to accept these Terms, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and references to "you" shall include that organization.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you agree to both documents.

If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you are not authorized to access or use the Service and must immediately discontinue any use.

2. Description of Service

RespectASO is a desktop application for App Store Optimization (ASO) keyword research. The Service includes:

• • A native macOS desktop application for keyword research, difficulty scoring, popularity analysis, and ranking tracking
• • A free open-source edition with core keyword research features
• • A Pro edition with AI-powered features (AI Niche Researcher, AI Competitor Analyzer, ASO Score Simulator) activated by a paid license key
• • This website (respectaso.com) for product information, documentation, and license purchases

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

3. Free Edition

The free edition of RespectASO is open-source software licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). You may use, modify, and distribute it in accordance with that license. The full source code is available on GitHub.

The AGPL-3.0 license governs the free edition exclusively. Pro features, as described in Section 4, are proprietary and subject to separate license terms.

4. Pro License

4.1 License Grant

Upon purchase, we grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Pro features of RespectASO. This license:

• • Is valid for one year from the date of purchase
• • Permits use on any number of devices you personally own
• • Is tied to the email address used at the time of purchase
• • Includes all Pro features available at the time of purchase and any updates released during the license period

4.2 License Restrictions

You expressly agree not to:

• • Share, resell, sublicense, or distribute your license key to any third party
• • Use the license key on devices not owned by you
• • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Pro features for the purpose of circumventing license validation
• • Remove or alter any proprietary notices, license validation mechanisms, or copyright notices
• • Use the Pro features for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms

4.3 License Expiry

When a Pro license expires, all free features continue to work without interruption. Only the three AI-powered Pro features (AI Niche Researcher, AI Competitor Analyzer, ASO Score Simulator) become inactive. You keep the version you have. Licenses do not auto-renew. We send a reminder email 30 days before expiry. You may renew at any time.

5. Payment and Refunds

5.1 Payment Processing

Payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc., a third-party payment processor. Pro licenses are sold as one-time payments. Prices are displayed in USD. By purchasing a license, you agree to:

• • Provide accurate and complete billing information
• • Authorize us to charge the payment method provided for applicable fees
• • Accept Stripe's terms of service in addition to these Terms

We do not store credit card numbers or sensitive payment credentials. All payment data is processed and stored by Stripe in accordance with PCI-DSS requirements.

5.2 Refunds

All sales are final. Pro licenses are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. We encourage you to use the free version extensively to evaluate the tool before purchasing a Pro license. The free version provides full keyword research, difficulty scoring, popularity analysis, and ranking tracking functionality so you can make an informed purchase decision.

6. API Keys (Bring Your Own Key)

Pro AI features require API keys from third-party LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter). By using Pro AI features, you acknowledge and agree that:

• • You are solely responsible for obtaining, maintaining, and paying for your own API keys
• • We do not provide, subsidize, or warrant third-party API access
• • API keys are stored locally on your device and are never transmitted to us
• • You are responsible for any costs incurred through your API key usage
• • Your use of third-party APIs is governed by the respective provider's terms of service and privacy policy; if you use OpenRouter, your requests are routed onward to third-party model hosts, whose own terms and policies also apply
• • We are not liable for any issues arising from third-party API availability, pricing changes, or service disruptions

7. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Service in any manner that:

• • Violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation
• • Infringes any intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
• • Circumvents, disables, or interferes with license validation mechanisms or security features of the Service
• • Resells, redistributes, or provides access to Pro features or license keys to third parties without our prior written consent
• • Interferes with or disrupts the website or servers or networks connected to the website
• • Uses automated means, including robots, spiders, or scrapers, to access the website except as permitted
• • Attempts to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service
• • Uses the Service for any fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates this provision, including revoking license keys, suspending access, and reporting violations to law enforcement authorities.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Company Intellectual Property

The Pro features of the Service, including all proprietary code, algorithms, prompts, designs, text, graphics, logos, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to the Company and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. The free edition is licensed under AGPL-3.0 as described in Section 3.

8.2 Your Data

You retain all rights to your keyword research data, ASO strategies, and any content you create using the Service. Because the desktop application stores all data locally on your device, we do not have access to your data. We do not claim ownership of any data generated through your use of the Service.

9. License Revocation and Termination

9.1 Termination by You

You may stop using the Service at any time. If you have purchased a Pro license, no refund will be provided for unused portions of the license period.

• • Fraudulent purchase or chargeback of a license payment
• • Fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity
• • Upon request by law enforcement or other government agencies

9.3 Effect of Termination

Upon revocation of your Pro license, Pro features will be deactivated. Free features of the desktop application continue to function regardless of license status. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including but not limited to provisions regarding intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Sweden, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

13.2 Jurisdiction

For business users: Any dispute, controversy, claim, or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Sweden.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its intent. If such modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

14.3 Waiver

No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
