Seagull Terms of Use and End User License Agreement

Effective Date: July 20, 2026

These Terms of Use and End User License Agreement (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Anna Kainova (“Anna Kainova,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your download, installation, access to, and use of the Seagull macOS application, its locally operated backend, and related features (collectively, the “App”).

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Seagull Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

1. App Store Acknowledgement

These Terms are between you and Resemble only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Resemble, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. These Terms do not create usage rules that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the App. To the extent any warranty applies and the App fails to conform to that warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any, in accordance with its policies. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

Resemble, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to applicable legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation. Resemble, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party intellectual-property infringement claim relating to the App.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance, Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

2. License

Subject to these Terms, Resemble grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The App may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser through Family Sharing, volume purchasing, or other functionality permitted by Apple.

The App is licensed, not sold. Resemble and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the App, excluding third-party components governed by separate licenses. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the App except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law or permitted by an applicable open-source license.

3. Voice Cloning and Synthetic Speech

The App can create synthetic speech resembling a voice represented in an audio sample. Synthetic speech may be difficult or impossible for a listener to distinguish from authentic human speech.

Before accessing Studio features, you must accept these Terms in the App. Your acceptance is stored locally on your device. We may require renewed acceptance if these Terms materially change. Declining prevents access to the relevant features.

By using the App, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the voices, text, and audio you provide or create, and for all uses and distribution of that content. You must obtain all rights and permissions required by applicable law before recording, cloning, imitating, or synthesizing any voice.

4. Eligibility

You must have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you have not reached the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf and supervise your use of the App.

5. Your Content and Responsibilities

“User Content” means voice samples, recordings, text, prompts, configuration data, and other material you provide to the App, together with audio generated at your direction.

As between you and Resemble, you retain any rights you hold in your User Content. These Terms do not grant Resemble ownership of your User Content. The App ordinarily processes User Content locally and does not require a license to Resemble for cloud synthesis. You grant Resemble only those limited rights, if any, necessary to operate access-control and support features that you choose to use.

You are solely responsible for:

  1. ensuring that you own or control all necessary rights in User Content;
  2. obtaining specific, informed, and legally valid consent from each person whose voice is recorded, cloned, imitated, or synthesized;
  3. the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of your inputs and outputs;
  4. determining whether and how generated audio must be disclosed or labelled as synthetic;
  5. all publication, distribution, licensing, sale, or other use of generated audio;
  6. securing and backing up your device, credentials, samples, and outputs; and
  7. complying with all applicable laws, regulations, platform rules, and third-party rights.

6. Prohibited Uses

You must not use the App to:

  1. record, clone, imitate, or synthesize a person’s voice without all permissions required by applicable law;
  2. deceive others about a speaker’s identity or the authenticity or origin of generated audio;
  3. commit or facilitate fraud, scams, extortion, identity theft, unauthorized impersonation, harassment, threats, defamation, or unlawful discrimination;
  4. create deceptive political, electoral, medical, financial, emergency, or public-safety communications;
  5. create or distribute unlawful, abusive, exploitative, or non-consensual content;
  6. infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, personality, data-protection, or other rights;
  7. bypass access controls, licensing restrictions, or technical protections;
  8. introduce malicious code or interfere with the App, its local services, or associated online services; or
  9. violate terms or licenses applicable to a third-party model, component, data source, or service.

We may restrict or revoke access credentials, refuse support, or discontinue access-controlled features where we reasonably believe the App has been misused.

7. Third-Party Software, Models, and Services

The App includes or can download third-party software and AI models. Each component or model may be governed by separate terms, attribution requirements, or restrictions, including non-commercial-use restrictions. Notices available in the App or accompanying materials form part of the applicable licensing information. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with those terms before enabling, using, or commercially exploiting a model.

The App may interact with third-party services, including Apple, Google Firebase, Hugging Face, content-delivery networks, and model-hosting providers. Your use of those services is subject to their applicable terms. Resemble is not responsible for third-party services except as required by law.

8. Purchases and Refunds

The App may be downloaded free of charge from the Mac App Store. A limited free trial of successful voice generations is included. Unlimited use requires a one-time lifetime in-app purchase (Unlock Full Access), which is not a subscription and does not auto-renew.

Purchases made through the Mac App Store are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple’s payment, subscription, cancellation, and refund terms. Resemble does not receive or store your full payment-card details from Apple. Except where required by law or Apple’s policies, fees are non-refundable.

Lifetime unlock includes access to the App’s generation features without the free-trial generation limit, and developer support via the contact details provided in the App (About & Contact) and Section 18.

9. Maintenance and Support

Resemble is solely responsible for maintenance and support, if any, for the App. Resemble does not guarantee that any particular model, feature, operating-system version, or third-party service will remain available or supported.

Support inquiries may be submitted using the contact details in Section 18.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP, AI MODELS, AND GENERATED OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

RESEMBLE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE, UNIQUE, LAWFUL FOR YOUR INTENDED USE, FREE FROM THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, OR INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM OR IDENTICAL TO A PARTICULAR VOICE. AI OUTPUTS MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, ARTIFACTS, OR UNEXPECTED CONTENT. YOU MUST REVIEW OUTPUTS BEFORE USE OR DISTRIBUTION.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RESEMBLE, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RESEMBLE’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY; OR (B) TEN U.S. DOLLARS (USD $10).

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is prohibited.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Resemble, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from: (a) your User Content or generated audio; (b) your use or distribution of generated audio; (c) your breach of these Terms; or (d) your violation of law or a third party’s rights.

Resemble will provide reasonable notice of an indemnified claim and allow you to control its defense, provided that Resemble may participate with counsel of its choice and you may not settle a claim in a manner that admits fault by or imposes obligations on Resemble without Resemble’s written consent.

13. Privacy

The Seagull Privacy Policy describes how information is handled in connection with the App and is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

14. Suspension and Termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing use and deleting the App. Resemble may suspend or terminate access-controlled features if you materially breach these Terms, create legal or security risk, or misuse the App.

Upon termination, the license granted under these Terms ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including provisions concerning ownership, responsibility for User Content, warranty disclaimers, liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution—will survive.

You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country or region subject to a United States Government embargo or designated by the United States Government as supporting terrorism, and that you are not listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

You must comply with applicable export-control, sanctions, and import laws when using the App or downloading models.

16. Governing Law and Consumer Rights

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The courts located in Toronto, Ontario will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, except where the mandatory laws of your place of residence give you the right to bring a claim in another forum. If you are a consumer, these Terms do not limit any mandatory rights or remedies available under the laws of your place of residence.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the App, law, or our practices. Material changes will be communicated through the App, the App Store listing, or another reasonable method. Where required by law, we will request renewed acceptance. The “Effective Date” above identifies the latest version.

19. General

These Terms and the documents incorporated by reference constitute the entire agreement between you and Resemble concerning the App. If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without Resemble’s prior written consent. Resemble may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all relevant assets.
