Terms of Service

The rules that apply when you access or use Tauk.

Effective September 3, 2026 · Last updated September 3, 2026

1. Agreement and company

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Green Seed Technologies LLC, an Orem, Utah company (“Green Seed,” “Tauk,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They apply to Tauk, Tauk.App, the Chrome extension, hosted sharing, and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account, installing the extension, or accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility, accounts, and organizational authority

You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority where you live and able to enter a binding agreement. If you create, name, buy seats for, administer, or accept ownership of a workspace for an organization, you represent that you have authority to act for that organization and to invite the people you add. You must provide accurate account and organization information, keep credentials secure, promptly tell us about suspected unauthorized use, and use separate accounts rather than sharing credentials. You are responsible for activity under your account and for appropriately managing the people, roles, invitations, content, and billing authority in a workspace you administer.

3. What Tauk provides

Tauk provides tools to record, store locally, edit non-destructively, upload, render, download, and share video or audio content. Features, supported platforms, limits, and availability may change as the Service develops. The private alpha is pre-release software and may be limited to approved domains or invitations.

4. Recording responsibilities

You are responsible for what you record and share. Before recording another person, a private conversation, a meeting, a screen, or third-party material, you must give any notice and obtain any consent required by contract or law. Tauk does not determine whether your recording is lawful in a particular location or situation.

5. Your content and license to operate Tauk

You retain ownership of the recordings, files, titles, messages, and other content you submit to Tauk (“Your Content”). You grant Tauk a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, encode, transmit, display, and otherwise use Your Content only as needed to provide, secure, and support the features you request and to follow your sharing instructions. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from active systems, except for limited backups, legal requirements, or content retained by recipients outside Tauk.

You represent that you have the rights needed to provide Your Content and grant this license.

6. Sharing, access controls, analytics, and downloads

In the current alpha, using Publish uploads any missing originals, renders the finished media, and creates an unlisted hosted link. On Free, those originals are temporary render inputs and are not retained as a cloud backup; deletion begins after terminal processing, but these Terms do not promise a fixed cleanup deadline that has not been approved and verified. On Creator, Publish or Back up originals may retain original sources subject to the plan and Tauk’s normal storage, processing, and lifecycle limits.

You decide whether to send the generated link to anyone. Unless you enable an available password or expiration control, anyone with the URL may be able to view and redistribute the content. Passwords and expiration reduce unintended access but cannot prevent an authorized viewer from copying or recording content. If you allow official viewer downloads, that setting is a convenience control rather than digital-rights management. Downloads and other copies can remain outside Tauk after the hosted version is removed.

When viewer analytics are available, public playback can contribute aggregate, unattributed statistics such as estimated viewers, qualified playbacks, watch time, completion, and replay. Tauk does not promise that an estimated viewer corresponds to a particular individual. The Privacy Policy explains the information used for these statistics.

7. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

  • Break the law or violate another person’s privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, confidentiality, or other rights.
  • Record or distribute content without required notice or consent.
  • Upload malware, exploit code, or content intended to disrupt, probe, or bypass security or usage controls.
  • Harass, threaten, defraud, impersonate, exploit, or endanger another person.
  • Distribute illegal sexual content, nonconsensual intimate content, content that exploits minors, or instructions facilitating serious wrongdoing.
  • Spam, scrape, resell, or provide unauthorized access to the Service.
  • Use automated means that create unreasonable load or attempt to reverse engineer protected portions of the Service except where law permits.

8. Workspaces, members, and ownership

Every Tauk account begins with a workspace that can remain a team of one or grow into an organization. Workspace owners and authorized administrators may invite or remove members, suspend access, assign access and media roles, and administer workspace-owned recordings. A job title, company name, or email domain does not grant authority by itself. Creator access may consume paid or complimentary capacity; viewer access does not.

Only the current owner can initiate a workspace ownership transfer. A verified active successor must accept before authority changes; until then the owner may revoke and the proposed successor may decline. An accepted transfer preserves the workspace, membership history, billing relationship, and workspace-owned content and makes the prior owner an administrator. Removing or suspending a member does not delete workspace-owned recordings, and it does not automatically delete that person’s separate account or another workspace. These administration rules do not decide ownership of intellectual property between you, your employer, or other members; those rights may be governed by separate agreements and law.

9. Paid plans, seats, and in-app purchases

The extension and authenticated account application contain functionality that can initiate a purchase of additional features, a subscription, or additional Creator-seat capacity when Checkout is enabled. Before purchase, Stripe-hosted Checkout will show the price, billing interval, quantity, taxes, and material plan terms. Stripe, rather than Tauk or the Chrome Web Store, processes the payment. Subscriptions renew automatically for the interval selected until canceled.

A paid Creator quantity is workspace capacity, not a separate user account. The workspace owner controls which eligible active members or pending invitations use that capacity. Increasing quantity may create a prorated charge and does not activate a member above reconciled capacity; decreasing quantity requires Creator assignments and reservations to fit first and may create a prorated credit as shown by Stripe. Payment, invoice, and subscription state must reconcile to Tauk before paid capability is authoritative.

You may cancel through an available billing-management portal or by contacting support. Unless required by law or stated otherwise at Checkout, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period and fees already paid are nonrefundable. Failed or reversed payment may suspend paid features. We may provide revocable, expiring, or promotional complimentary Creator access or workspace feature exceptions without representing that they were paid; those settings may differ from the standard plan and may end as stated. We may change future pricing or plan limits with reasonable advance notice; changes will not retroactively alter a completed billing period.

10. Third-party services and marketplaces

Tauk may rely on providers for authentication, infrastructure, storage, media processing, delivery, email, support, monitoring, and payments. Stripe’s terms and privacy policy apply when it processes a payment, and Chrome Web Store terms may apply to obtaining and using the extension. Third-party products or links may have their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for a third party’s service outside our control.

11. Intellectual property and feedback

Except for Your Content, Green Seed and its licensors own the Service, including its software, design, branding, and documentation. These Terms do not grant you rights to Tauk names, logos, or source code. If you provide feedback, you allow us to use it without restriction or payment, but you do not assign ownership of Your Content through feedback.

12. Copyright concerns

If you believe content on Tauk infringes a copyright, email support@tauk.app with identification of the work, the allegedly infringing material and its URL, your contact information, a good-faith statement, an accuracy and authority statement under penalty of perjury, and your physical or electronic signature. Additional statutory agent or notice information will be published if and when required.

13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Tauk at any time and request account deletion. We may limit, suspend, or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, fail to pay amounts due, or use the Service in a way that threatens users or operations. When practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

14. Beta service and disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GREEN SEED DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT EVERY RECORDING WILL BE RECOVERABLE. KEEP APPROPRIATE COPIES OF IMPORTANT CONTENT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GREEN SEED AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TAUK IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limits do not apply where prohibited by law.

16. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify Green Seed from third-party claims, damages, and expenses arising from Your Content, your unlawful use of the Service, or your material breach of these Terms. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Green Seed’s own conduct.

17. Governing law and disputes

Utah law governs these Terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, disputes must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Utah County, Utah, and each party consents to those courts. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking appropriate injunctive or equitable relief.

18. Changes and general terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. We will post the updated version and provide additional notice when required. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or sale. These Terms and referenced policies are the entire agreement about the Service unless a separate signed agreement applies.
