Terms of Service.

Using Local

These terms govern your use of Local, operated by Bad Bodega LLC. By using Local, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. You must be legally able to agree to these terms, and at least 13 or the minimum age required where you live. If you are below the age of legal adulthood, a parent or guardian must authorize your use.

Your account

Provide accurate information, protect your login credentials, and use only accounts you are authorized to access. You are responsible for your use of Local and must notify us if you suspect unauthorized access.

No harmful or deceptive use

You may not use Local to:

• Commit fraud, scams, identity theft, phishing, extortion, or other unlawful acts.
• Impersonate someone, deceive listeners about who is speaking, fabricate evidence, or bypass voice authentication.
• Clone or use another person's voice without their explicit permission, including public figures or relatives.
• Threaten, harass, stalk, exploit, or abuse people; promote violence; or facilitate sexual exploitation or abuse of children.
• Secretly capture or process others' speech, invade privacy, or disclose information you have no right to share.
• Infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• Attack the service, distribute malware, evade access or usage restrictions, harvest other users' data, or misuse provider credentials.

Follow applicable laws and the relevant service providers' acceptable-use rules. We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to address violations, protect people or the service, or comply with law.

Consent and voice ownership

Tell participants that Local uses automated services to process and translate speech. Obtain any consent required for capturing, transmitting, or translating their audio. Before cloning a voice, obtain the speaker's explicit permission for recording and the intended use of the clone. Stop using the voice if that permission is withdrawn.

You retain your rights in material you provide. You grant us only the permission needed to process it and send it to service providers to deliver the features you request. These terms do not give you ownership of another person's voice or identity.

Translations can be wrong

Automated captions, translations, and generated voices may contain mistakes or change meaning or tone. Confirm important details directly with the other person. Local is not an emergency service or a substitute for a qualified interpreter or professional advice in medical, legal, financial, or other high-stakes situations.

Reliance on translations and limitation of liability

Translations, transcripts, and generated speech may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or misleading in meaning or tone. You are responsible for checking important information with the other participant or a qualified interpreter before relying on it or acting on it.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bad Bodega LLC and Local are not liable for losses, costs, damages, claims, or expenses arising from reliance on, misunderstanding of, or inability to obtain a translation, transcript, or generated voice. This includes financial or business losses, lost profits, missed travel or bookings, contractual misunderstandings, loss of opportunities, and indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, where exclusion is legally permitted.

Do not rely on Local as your sole means of communication for emergencies, medical treatment, legal proceedings, financial decisions, safety instructions, or other situations where an error could cause significant harm. Use a qualified interpreter or other appropriate professional.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including applicable liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or your non-waivable statutory consumer rights. You keep any mandatory rights to services provided with reasonable care and skill, and any remedies, refunds, or compensation required by consumer law. These exclusions apply only to the extent permitted in your jurisdiction.

Privacy and third-party services

Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled, including live processing and optional saved voice models. Local relies on external providers and network connectivity; features may be unavailable, delayed, or limited by provider availability and account access.

Subscriptions, trials, and usage

Local Pro offers monthly, six-month, and annual billing options. The purchase screen and store confirmation show the price, currency, billing period, trial eligibility, and amount due after a trial. Eligible new subscribers receive a three-day introductory trial. Eligibility depends on the billing provider and prior purchases; changing billing cycles does not reset eligibility. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled according to the billing provider’s terms.

Pro includes up to three hours of measured speech per monthly allowance period, counted across both speakers. Silence and translation playback do not count. Allowances reset monthly, including on six-month and annual subscriptions, and unused time does not roll over. Network and provider limits may still affect individual sessions. Personal voice features require active Pro access or an expressly granted test entitlement.

Manage or cancel App Store subscriptions through your Apple account and website subscriptions through Local’s billing portal. Deleting your Local account does not cancel Apple subscriptions. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge; Apple may require cancellation at least 24 hours before the trial ends. A successful purchase on either platform unlocks the same Local account, subject to verification. Refund requests for Apple purchases are handled by Apple; for website payments, contact info@badbodega.com. Mandatory consumer rights, including applicable withdrawal and refund rights, remain unaffected.

Availability and responsibility

We may change features or temporarily interrupt service for maintenance, security, or operational reasons. To the extent permitted by law, Local is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of uninterrupted operation, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the extent permitted by law, Bad Bodega LLC is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses resulting from use of Local, including reliance on incorrect translations. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer protections.

Ending use and changes

You can stop using Local at any time and initiate account deletion from your profile. We may suspend or end access for serious or repeated violations. We may revise these terms and will provide notice of material changes where required. The updated date will appear on this page.

Contact and abuse reports

For privacy requests, account or voice deletion, questions, or abuse reports, email info@badbodega.com.

If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services rather than relying on an in-app report.
