Terms of Service
Last updated: July 18, 2026
These are the terms for using Loorq, the speech-coaching app for macOS. They're written to be read. Using the app or buying a license means you agree to them.
1. Who you're dealing with
Loorq is made and operated by Loorq ("we"). You can always reach us at hello@loorq.com. Purchases are processed by Paddle, our merchant of record. Paddle handles checkout, payment, invoicing, and sales tax, and their buyer terms apply to the transaction itself.
2. The trial
Every install starts with a 3-day full-featured trial. No account, no card, no strings. The trial exists so you can decide whether Loorq is worth paying for before you pay. Please use it that way.
3. Licenses
- Lifetime: a one-time purchase granting a perpetual license to Loorq, including the updates we ship. This is the only license we sell.
- Subscription (legacy, no longer sold): licenses bought as monthly or yearly subscriptions stay active while paid. Cancel anytime; you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
- Any license activates on up to 3 Macs that you personally use. You can deactivate a Mac in the app to free a seat.
- Licenses are personal and non-transferable. Don't share, resell, or publish your key.
4. Cancellation
You can cancel a subscription anytime from the link in your Paddle receipt email, or by writing to us. Cancelling stops future charges; it doesn't retroactively refund past ones. See the refund policy.
5. What you may not do
Don't attempt to circumvent the licensing, redistribute the app or keys, or use Loorq to record people without whatever consent your jurisdiction requires. Loorq only ever listens to your own microphone, and meeting coaching always asks first. The consent it asks for is yours; consent from other people in the room is your responsibility.
6. The software, honestly
Loorq is provided "as is". We work hard to make it excellent, but we don't warrant that it is error-free or fit for any particular purpose, and speech analysis is deliberately conservative rather than perfect. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to Loorq is capped at the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
7. Privacy
Nothing you say ever leaves your Mac. The full details, including the short list of things that do leave (license activation, update checks), are in the privacy policy.
8. Changes
If we change these terms, the new version goes up at this address with a new date, and material changes will be noted in the app's release notes. Continuing to use Loorq after a change means you accept it.
9. Contact
hello@loorq.com. A human reads it.
