Terms of Service · Typeferry

Effective date: 13 November 2026

These terms apply to the edition of Typeferry for Mac that you download from https://typeferry.com (the "Website Edition"), to Typeferry Pro bought for it, and to the online services the app connects to. If you use the edition from the Mac App Store, see the separate App Store terms instead.

1. Who we are and this agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and Typeferry ("we", "us"). Contact: support@typeferry.com.

By downloading, installing or using Typeferry, or by buying Typeferry Pro, you agree to these terms. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data. If you do not agree, do not use Typeferry.

2. Who can use Typeferry

You must be at least 13 years old, or older if the law where you live sets a higher minimum age. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may buy Pro only with the permission of a parent or guardian. If you use Typeferry for a business, you confirm that you may accept these terms on its behalf.

3. Your license to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Typeferry on Macs that you own or control, under these terms. Typeferry is licensed, not sold.

You may not:

copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent or sublicense the app;
reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except where the law allows this despite this restriction;
remove or bypass license checks, usage limits or other technical protections.

Some parts of Typeferry are open-source software provided under their own licenses; those licenses apply to those parts.

4. Free and Pro

Free. Without paying you can use:

on-device translation (the translation built into macOS), with no daily limit;
online (AI) translation for up to 20 translations filled in from the input bar and 3 screenshot translations per day, plus a daily character limit. When you reach the limit, Typeferry switches to on-device translation for the rest of the day.

Pro is a paid subscription. It adds:

window translation (translating a chat window in place as new messages arrive);
voice input (hold a key, speak, and the translation is filled in);
online translation without the daily count above, up to 300,000 characters per Pro account per day and 2,000,000 per calendar month (shared by all Macs signed in to it, including screenshot translation); once the monthly limit is reached, up to 30,000 characters per day for the rest of that month. Days and months are counted in UTC. These limits protect the service from abuse.

Limits for everyone. Online translation is limited to 1,000 characters per input-bar request and 3,000 characters per screenshot or window request; longer text is translated on your Mac. Window translation uses at most two-thirds of a day's online allowance, so some is left for your replies.

We may change features and limits. We will not reduce what a paid Pro subscription includes during a billing period you have already paid for, except where needed for security, abuse prevention or legal reasons; we will give notice of other changes in the app or on our website before your next renewal.

Beta. During a public beta, features may be free and may change or stop without notice. Beta features are provided as they are.

5. Online translation and offline fallback

If you choose online translation, the text you are translating is sent through our relay server to an AI model hosted by Cloudflare, as described in the Privacy Policy. When you are offline, when the online service is unavailable, slow or returns an unusable result, or when your daily limit is used up, Typeferry translates on your Mac with the translation built into macOS instead. On-device translation covers fewer languages and is generally less accurate; macOS may need to download a language pack first.

You can choose "On-device only" at any time in Settings. We aim to keep online translation available but do not guarantee that it will be available at all times, in every language, or at a particular speed.

6. Buying Pro: Creem and Paddle are the merchant of record

Pro for the Website Edition is sold through Creem (Armitage Labs OÜ) or Paddle. The one you check out with is the merchant of record: it sells the subscription to you as a reseller, takes your payment, charges and pays any sales tax or VAT, issues your invoice or receipt, and processes refunds. Your purchase is also governed by that provider's buyer terms (Creem Buyer Terms, Paddle Checkout Buyer Terms). If those buyer terms conflict with these terms about the purchase itself, the buyer terms apply. These terms govern your use of Typeferry.

We do not receive or store your card or bank details. Prices are shown at checkout and may include or add tax depending on where you live.

7. Subscriptions and renewal

Pro is billed monthly or yearly, as you choose at checkout.
Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, and you will be charged the then-current price, until you cancel.
You can cancel at any time through the link in your receipt email from Creem or Paddle, or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; Pro keeps working until then, and you will not be charged again.
If the price changes, we will tell you before the change applies to your subscription. If you do not want to pay the new price, cancel before your next renewal.
If a renewal payment fails, Pro may stop after a short grace period.

8. Refunds and withdrawal

How refunds work depends on where you live. In every case, Creem or Paddle, as merchant of record, pays the refund to your original payment method. To ask for a refund or to withdraw, reply to your receipt email or contact us at support@typeferry.com.

Customers in the EU, the EEA and the UK

You have a legal right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of the day you buy, without giving a reason. To withdraw, tell us clearly within those 14 days (for example: "I withdraw from my Typeferry Pro purchase").
Pro starts as soon as you pay. At checkout you are asked to agree that Pro starts immediately and to acknowledge that, if you withdraw within the 14 days, you pay for the days you have already used.
If you withdraw, we refund what you paid minus the amount for the days you used, in proportion to your billing period (monthly or yearly). Your subscription and license then end.
The 7-day full refund described below for other regions does not apply in addition to this right.

Customers everywhere else

First purchase: if you are not happy with Typeferry Pro, you can get a full refund within 7 days of your first purchase.
Renewals and later purchases (including buying again after a refund or cancellation) are not refundable, except as required by law or by the merchant of record's buyer terms.

For everyone

When a payment is refunded in full or charged back, the license is revoked: online Pro translation stops right away, and other Pro features stop the next time the app checks the license (at the latest when its offline period of up to 7 days ends).
This section does not limit any rights you have under the law where you live.

9. Your Pro account and devices

Your Pro account is the email address you used at checkout. You sign in to Typeferry with that address and a one-time code we email to it. Keep that email account secure; anyone who can read it can sign in to your Pro account.
One Pro account can be signed in on up to 3 Macs at the same time. To move Pro to another Mac, sign out on a Mac you no longer use. A Mac that has not checked in for 14 days frees its slot automatically.
The app checks your subscription with our license server about once a day. Pro keeps working offline for up to 7 days after the last successful check. Online translation always checks your subscription when you use it.
Pro is for your own use. You may not sell, share or transfer access to your Pro account, or use one account for more people than these terms allow.

10. Translations are not guaranteed to be accurate

Typeferry uses machine translation (AI models and the translation built into macOS) and text recognition. Translations and recognized text can be wrong, incomplete or inappropriate in tone, and may change the meaning of what you or others wrote. Back-translations and other hints are aids, not guarantees.

Check translations before you send them. Typeferry fills text into the app you are using; it does not press send for you. You are responsible for what you send.
Do not rely on Typeferry for legal, medical, financial, safety-critical or other high-stakes communication, contracts or official documents. Use a qualified human translator.

11. Other apps and services

Typeferry works alongside other apps, such as chat and email apps. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by their makers, and their names are trademarks of their owners. You are responsible for following the terms of the apps and services you use with Typeferry. We are not responsible for how other apps handle text you send through them.

12. Acceptable use

Do not use Typeferry or our online services to:

break the law or infringe anyone's rights;
harass, threaten, defraud, impersonate or deceive people, or to send spam or bulk unsolicited messages;
create or spread content that sexually exploits children, promotes violence or is otherwise illegal;
access our servers other than through the Typeferry app, automate or script requests, or resell or share access to our online services;
get around usage limits or license checks, for example by faking device IDs or sharing your Pro account;
interfere with, overload or attack our services or the services of our providers;
use Typeferry where export control or sanctions laws prohibit it.

We may limit, suspend or end your access to online services if we reasonably believe you are breaking this section.

13. Your content

You keep all rights to the text you type and to the content on your screen. You give us permission to process that content only as needed to provide Typeferry, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not claim ownership of your content or translations, and we do not use them to train AI models.

14. Updates

The Website Edition checks for updates and can install them. Some updates may be needed for online translation and license checks to keep working. We may stop supporting old versions of the app or of macOS.

15. Changes to these terms and to Typeferry

We may update these terms. We will post the new version with a new effective date and, for changes that materially affect you, tell you in the app and on our website, and by email if you have Pro, before they take effect. If you keep using Typeferry after that, the new terms apply; if you do not agree, stop using it and cancel your subscription.

We may change or discontinue Typeferry or its online services. If we discontinue Pro or its online translation before the end of a period you have paid for, we will give at least 30 days' notice and refund the unused part of that period.

16. Ending this agreement

You can stop using Typeferry at any time by deleting it and canceling your subscription.
We may suspend or end your license or access to online services if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if required by law, or if needed to protect our services or other users. Where reasonable, we will tell you first.
When this agreement ends, your right to use Pro ends. Sections 10, 13, 17, 18 and 19, and any rights that by their nature should continue, survive.

17. Disclaimer

Except as stated in these terms, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Typeferry and our online services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. Some places do not allow these exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.

18. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, business or goodwill, arising from or related to Typeferry or these terms, including losses caused by a wrong translation;
our total liability for all claims relating to Typeferry or these terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for Typeferry Pro in the 12 months before the claim arose and (b) USD 50.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

19. Governing law and disputes

If you have a problem, please contact us first at support@typeferry.com so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may be able to bring a claim in the courts there.

20. General

These terms, the Privacy Policy and the merchant of record's buyer terms are the whole agreement between you and us about Typeferry.
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
If we do not enforce a right, we have not waived it.
You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours to an entity that takes over Typeferry (for example, a business we set up to run it); this will not reduce your rights.
These terms are written in English. If we provide a translation and the two differ, the English version applies, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.
