Terms of Service

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

Ordo is a local-first voice-input app for macOS, operated by 遠方世界株式会社 (Enpo Sekai Inc.). These terms apply to this marketing and waitlist website and to the invite-only Ordo macOS beta program.

2. Eligibility

You must be an adult of the age of legal majority in your place of residence and have the authority to accept these terms. If you accept these terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and references to “you” include it.

3. Joining the waitlist

When you join the waitlist, you must provide an email address you control and accurate information. We use this information as described in our Privacy Policy.

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee that you will receive an invitation.

4. The beta program

The Ordo beta is invite-only. Access is granted, limited, or revoked at our discretion. The beta is pre-release software provided for evaluation; it may change, contain defects, or be discontinued at any time, and you should not rely on it for critical use.

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about Ordo, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right to use them to improve Ordo, without any obligation to you and without compensation.

5. License to use the beta

Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Ordo beta on your Mac for evaluation purposes during the beta program. All other rights are reserved.

6. Acceptable use

You must use the website and the beta lawfully. You must not: break the law; infringe intellectual property or other rights; disrupt, attack, or probe the security of the service or the site; circumvent access or usage limits; reverse engineer the software except to the extent applicable law expressly permits; resell or redistribute the beta; use it to build a competing product; perform automated scraping of the site; or produce or transmit unlawful content.

7. Your content and responsibility

You keep ownership of the text you create with Ordo. You are responsible for what you dictate or produce and for ensuring you hold the necessary rights to it.

Ordo is a tool, and its output may contain errors and may need review for accuracy before you rely on it.

8. Intellectual property

Ordo, its name and marks, the software, and the content of this website are owned by 遠方世界株式会社 (Enpo Sekai Inc.) or its licensors. These terms do not grant you any trademark rights.

Third-party names shown to indicate compatibility belong to their respective owners.

9. Third-party software and services

Ordo may interoperate with other applications and services. We are not responsible for third-party software or services, or for their terms or practices.

10. Privacy

Your use of the website and the beta is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and the beta are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that the website or the beta will be uninterrupted, error-free, or accurate. Output may contain errors, so verify it before relying on it. Ordo does not provide professional advice. The foregoing applies to the extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, 遠方世界株式会社 (Enpo Sekai Inc.) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data or profits, arising out of or relating to the website or the beta.

The beta is provided free of charge, so to the extent permitted by applicable law our total aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid for it, which is zero. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless 遠方世界株式会社 (Enpo Sekai Inc.) from claims arising out of your misuse of the website or the beta, your violation of these terms, or your content.

14. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access at any time, including for breach of these terms or at the end of the program. You may stop using the website and the beta at any time.

On termination, the license in Section 5 ends and you should uninstall the beta. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

15. Changes

We may change the beta, the website, and these terms as the product evolves. When we change these terms, we will revise the “last updated” date above, and material changes will be noted. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Japan, such as the Tokyo District Court, have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights available to you in your country of residence.

17. General

These terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the website and the beta. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may assign these terms; you may not assign them without our consent. We are not responsible for events beyond our reasonable control.

These terms are provided in English, Chinese, and Japanese for convenience; in case of conflict, the English version prevails. Headings are for convenience only.
