The terms, plainly

ummute is for anyone old enough to agree to terms on their own — 16 or over. If you are younger, you’ll need a parent or guardian to agree on your behalf.

ummute is a tool for practicing your own speech and improving how you sound. Use it for that. Don’t use it to break the law or anyone’s rights, don’t feed it recordings of people who haven’t agreed to be recorded, and don’t try to overwhelm or abuse the service — it is small, and runs on a modest budget.

Your first take is free, with no account. After that, you sign in with Google to keep going — it is free, and you are responsible for the account you use. Fair-use limits keep running costs sane; reaching one isn’t a punishment, just a ceiling.

You keep ownership of everything you record. By using ummute you give permission to process those recordings for the single purpose of giving you feedback — the privacy page explains exactly how.

ummute is offered as it is. Its feedback is careful guidance, not a certified assessment — a coach’s note, not a verdict, and not language, medical, or professional advice. The service may change, pause, or go away, and perfect availability isn’t promised.

To the extent the law allows, ummute isn’t liable for indirect or knock-on losses that follow from using it, and the service comes without warranties beyond those the law insists on. Nothing here limits anything that can’t lawfully be limited.

ummute is run from the United Kingdom, and these terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

These terms may change. Continuing to use ummute after a change means you accept it.
