StellAurator End User License Agreement

Version 1.1 (2026-09-19)

This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal contract between you ("you" or "Licensee") and Jathtech Digital Consulting LLC, the maker of StellAurator ("we", "us" or "Licensor"). By clicking "I agree", or by installing, copying or using StellAurator (the "Software"), you accept every term below. If you do not agree, click "Decline" — the Software will close and you must not use it.

1. What StellAurator is

StellAurator is a desktop application that turns a manuscript into an audiobook. It records your voice, edits audio, and — when you connect third-party services with your own account keys — generates synthetic speech and converts recorded speech into other voices. The Software runs on your computer and stores your books on your own disk.

2. License grant

Subject to this Agreement, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on computers you own or control, for your own audiobook production, including commercial production of audiobooks you have the right to make. Any license key, activation, subscription or update entitlement we issue is governed by the purchase terms that accompany it.

3. What you may not do

You may not: (a) copy, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute or share the Software or any license key with anyone else; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except where the law forbids this restriction; (c) remove, disable or circumvent any license check, this Agreement, or any technical protection in the Software; (d) use the Software to build a competing product; (e) use the Software in violation of any law or of any third party's rights.

4. Third-party services and your keys

The Software can call voice and AI services such as ElevenLabs, Murf, Cartesia, Resemble AI, Respeecher, OpenAI, xAI, Google and Anthropic (each a "Provider"). You connect a Provider by pasting an API key from your own Provider account.

(a) Each Provider is a separate company with its own terms of service, prices and usage policies. Your use of a Provider through the Software is governed by that Provider's terms, which you accept directly with the Provider. We are not a party to that relationship and are not affiliated with any Provider.

(b) You are responsible for all charges a Provider bills to your account for requests the Software makes on your behalf, and for keeping your keys confidential. Keys are stored on your computer only and are sent only to the Provider they belong to.

(c) The commercial rights you hold in generated or converted audio come from your Provider plan. Free or evaluation tiers of some Providers do not permit commercial use, or require attribution. The Software shows the notes it has, but you must confirm your plan's rights yourself.

(d) The Software can also run free, open-source voice models on your own computer through a local bridge. Those models carry their own open-source licenses, listed in the Software's documentation, and you are responsible for complying with them.

5. Your manuscripts, recordings and outputs

You own your manuscripts, your recordings and the audio you produce with the Software, subject to any Provider terms that apply to Provider-generated audio. We claim no rights in them and never receive copies of them: the Software does not upload your books to us.

You are solely responsible for your content and outputs, including for having the rights to the manuscript you produce, and for how you distribute the finished audiobook.

6. Voices, consent and likeness

(a) You may only clone, imitate, convert into, or otherwise reproduce a real person's voice if you have that person's prior, written and informed consent, or if it is your own voice. The Software asks you to confirm this before a cloned voice is used, and keeps your confirmation.

(b) You may not use the Software to impersonate any person, to deceive anyone about who is speaking, to create material that a reasonable listener would take for a real person's own words, or to produce content that is defamatory, harassing, sexually exploitative, hateful, fraudulent or unlawful.

(c) Laws governing voice likeness and synthetic media apply to you, including United States state laws such as Tennessee's ELVIS Act and similar statutes, existing rights of publicity, and the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act's transparency obligations. You are responsible for complying with the laws of every place where you produce or distribute audio.

7. Disclosure of synthetic narration

Audiobooks that contain synthetic or converted voices may have to be disclosed as such to listeners, to distributors and under some laws. Distributors set their own rules; some do not accept synthetic narration at all. The Software marks exported files that contain synthetic narration and shows you a reminder at export. Checking and following each distributor's current policy is your responsibility.

8. Privacy and data

(a) The Software works locally. Your library, recordings, keys and settings stay on your computer and are never sent to us.

(b) When you accept this Agreement, the Software sends us a record of your acceptance consisting of: the Agreement version, the date and time, the Software version, your operating system and a non-reversible machine identifier. When you activate a license key, the name and email address on your purchase are added to that record. We keep this record as proof of the license and to contact you about the Software. We do not sell it and do not share it except as the law requires. If the record cannot be sent (for example, you are offline), the Software stores it and retries later.

(c) Text and audio you choose to send to a Provider is processed under that Provider's privacy policy.

(d) The Software sends no telemetry, analytics or crash reports to us.

9. Updates

We may provide updates that modify or replace the Software. Updates may add, change or remove features. Your entitlement to updates, if any, is set by your purchase terms. Some updates may require you to accept a revised version of this Agreement before continuing.

10. Intellectual property

The Software, including its code, design, artwork, themes, icons and documentation, is owned by us and protected by copyright and other laws. Except for the license in Section 2, no rights are granted to you. Open-source components included with the Software are licensed under their own terms, which are listed in the Software's documentation and control for those components.

11. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. You may terminate it at any time by uninstalling the Software. On termination you must stop using the Software and destroy all copies. Sections 3 through 8 and 10 through 16 survive termination.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT ANY PROVIDER WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE OR UNCHANGED, THAT GENERATED AUDIO WILL MEET ANY DISTRIBUTOR'S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT YOUR USE WILL COMPLY WITH ANY LAW.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST RECORDINGS OR PROVIDER CHARGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS IF YOU PAID NOTHING. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places our liability is limited to the greatest extent the law allows.

14. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your content, your outputs, your use of any Provider, any voice you clone or convert, any distribution of an audiobook you produce, or your breach of this Agreement.

15. Export and compliance

You may not use or export the Software in violation of applicable export laws or sanctions.

16. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to their jurisdiction. If any part of this Agreement is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

17. Changes to this Agreement

We may revise this Agreement for new versions of the Software. The Software will ask you to accept a revised Agreement before you continue to use the new version. Continued use after acceptance means you agree to the revision.

Trial, Subscription and Billing Terms

Version 1.1 (2026-09-19)

These terms are between you and Jathtech Digital Consulting LLC ("we", "us"), the maker of StellAurator. They cover the free trial, paid plans, renewal, cancelling and refunds. They sit beside the License Agreement above, which covers using the software itself. Starting a trial, claiming a pass or buying a plan means you agree to both.

1. The free trial

StellAurator is free to try for seven days. No card is asked for, so nothing can be charged when the trial ends. The seven days start the first time you sign in to the installed app, not when you download it or make your account. During the trial the whole studio is open to you, including the built-in voices; exporting a finished audiobook needs a plan. There is one trial for each person and one for each computer.

2. Plans and prices

StellAurator Monthly is US$29 a month. StellAurator Yearly is US$290 a year. The price you are shown at checkout is the price you pay; where the law requires tax to be added, checkout shows it before you pay. A plan is for one person, on up to three of that person's computers. Cloud voice and AI services you connect with your own keys are billed to you by those services and are not part of a plan.

3. Automatic renewal

A plan renews automatically at the end of each month or year, at the price then current, and the payment method you used is charged again, until you cancel. If we change the price of a plan you hold, we will tell you by email at least 30 days before the new price applies to a renewal, and you can cancel before it does.

4. Cancelling

You can cancel at any time, without a fee and without writing to anyone: sign in on the plans page of your account and press Cancel subscription. You can also ask us through the contact page and we will do it for you. Cancelling stops future renewals. Your plan stays active to the end of the period you have already paid for; we do not refund the unused part of a period.

5. If a payment fails

If a renewal payment does not go through we tell you by email and try again. The studio is not switched off the moment a card is declined. If the payment still cannot be collected, the plan ends and the app becomes read-only as described below; nothing is deleted.

6. When a trial or a plan ends

Your projects, recordings and exports are yours and stay on your computer. When a trial or plan ends the app becomes read-only: every book still opens and plays, and your recordings can still be found and copied. Recording, editing, generating voices, starting new books and the built-in voices wait until you subscribe again. If you have ever paid for a plan, export stays unlocked for the work you have made.

7. Refunds

The free trial is the time to decide whether StellAurator suits you, so a plan that has been bought is not refunded simply because it was not used. We do refund: a charge made twice, a charge made in error, a charge made after we confirmed a cancellation, and a first purchase where the app cannot be made to run on your 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 computer and you ask within 14 days. Ask through the contact page within 30 days of the charge. Where the law of your country gives you stronger rights, such as a right to withdraw, those rights apply and nothing here reduces them.

8. Your computers

An account may be signed in on up to three computers at once. The app's Settings, under Account, lists them and lets you remove one to make room for another. An account is for one person and is not to be shared between people; a studio with several narrators or editors needs an account for each.

9. Your work and your privacy

The subscription system knows your email address, your plan and its dates, and the computers you have signed in. It never receives your manuscripts or recordings: those stay on your computer, and text is sent only to the voice and AI services you connect with your own keys. A bug report sends what you write, the screenshots you leave attached, where you were in the app (the book and chapter titles and the line on screen) and, if you leave the box ticked, technical details about the app. You see all of it before you press Send. It never sends your manuscript file, your audio or your keys. We never see or store your card details: payments are handled by our payment processor.

10. Changes and contact

If these terms change in a way that matters we will tell you by email and show the new version here with its date; a change never reaches back into a period you have already paid for. Questions: the contact page.

Privacy Policy

Version 1.0 (2026-09-19)

Jathtech Digital Consulting LLC ("we", "us") makes StellAurator. This policy says what we collect through the website (stellaurator.com), the account pages (account.stellaurator.com) and the StellAurator app, why, and what we never collect. It is written to be read.

1. What never reaches us

StellAurator is a desktop studio. Your manuscripts, your recordings, your generated audio, your exports and your library are files on your own computer, and they stay there. We do not receive them, we cannot see them, and nothing in the account system refers to their contents. API keys for the voice and AI services you connect are stored on your computer and are never sent to us.

2. What we collect, and why

Your account. Your email address, and a password if you set one (held by our website provider as a hash we cannot read). We use them to sign you in, to tell you about your plan, and to answer you.

Your plan. Which plan or pass you hold, its dates and its status, and the fact and date of a free trial. We use these to decide what the app may do. Payments are handled by our payment processor; we never see or store your card number.

Your computers. For each computer you sign in on: an identifier made by hashing details of that computer (it cannot be turned back into them), the computer's name, the app's version and the operating system, and when it first and last checked in. We use these to keep an account to one person's three computers, to show you that list, and to let you remove one.

What you agreed to. The version of these documents you accepted, and when.

Messages you send us. A contact form holds the name, email address and message you type. A bug report from the app holds what you write; the screenshots you leave attached; where you were in the app, which includes the book and chapter titles and the line on screen; and, if you leave the box ticked, technical details of the app and its recent log. You see all of it before you press Send. A bug report never includes your manuscript file, your audio or your keys.

3. What we do not do

We run no analytics, no advertising trackers and no tracking cookies on our website or in the app. We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not use your information to train anything. We send account and billing messages that are necessary (a receipt, a failed payment, a change to these terms); we send news or offers only if you ask for them.

4. Who handles it for us

We use a small number of providers, each only for its part: Wix.com (the account pages, the account database, the contact form, and payment processing through Wix Payments and the payment methods it offers); GitHub (hosting this website, and the installer and updates the app downloads); and Google Fonts (the typefaces on this website). Each of them sees your IP address when your browser or the app talks to it, as any server does. The account pages set the cookies they need to keep you signed in and to take a payment; they are not used for advertising.

Services you connect yourself. If you connect a voice or AI service (for example ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Resemble, Murf, Respeecher, OpenAI or Anthropic), the app sends that service the text or audio needed for the job you asked for, under your own account and key with them. That is between you and that service, under its terms and privacy policy; it does not pass through us.

5. How long we keep it

Account, plan and computer records are kept while your account exists and for as long afterwards as tax and accounting law requires for payment records. Contact messages and bug reports are kept until they are dealt with and for a reasonable time after, then deleted. You can ask us to delete your account and what we hold with it at any time.

6. Your choices and rights

You can see and correct your email address, cancel a plan, and remove a computer yourself. You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, through the contact page; we answer within 30 days. Depending on where you live you may have further rights under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA, including the right to complain to your data protection authority; nothing here limits them. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16, and StellAurator is not directed at them.

7. Where it is processed

We are in the United States, and our providers process information in the United States and in other countries where they operate. Where the law requires it, transfers rely on the safeguards those providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses.

8. Security

The app's plan is a signed lease checked on your computer; passwords are verified by our website provider and never stored by us; connections are encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, and if something ever goes wrong with information we hold about you we will tell you.

9. Changes and contact

If this policy changes in a way that matters we will say so here, with a new version and date, and by email where that is appropriate. Questions and requests: Jathtech Digital Consulting LLC, through the contact page.
