Terms of use

Last updated 3 November 2026

These terms cover your use of RetroAudio (audio.theretrochat.com), a RetroChat product: the dashboard, the Listen button, the Reader, Studio, the text-to-speech API and the WordPress plugin. By creating an account or using the service you agree to them. If you use RetroAudio on behalf of a business or organization, you agree for it.

1. Your account

2. Free trial

New workspaces start with a free 14-day trial with no payment details needed. When it ends, the Listen button and API stop working until a plan is chosen. Each account gets one free trial.

3. Plans, credits and payment

4. Content and AI features

You own the text, documents and audio in your workspaces, and you give us permission to process them only to provide RetroAudio to you. Make sure you have the right to use any content you have read aloud, translated or summarized. Speech, translations, definitions and summaries are produced automatically and can contain mistakes; review anything important, and don't rely on them for legal, medical, financial or safety decisions. Audio you export from Studio may be used for any lawful purpose, including commercial use.

5. Acceptable use

Don't use RetroAudio to impersonate real people, to create misleading or harmful audio, to send spam, to infringe others' rights, or to break the law; and don't try to break, overload, scrape or get around the limits of the service, including by using a site key outside its domains. We may suspend or close workspaces that do, without refund.

6. Your visitors

You're responsible for telling your website's visitors, where needed, that text they choose to hear, translate or summarize is processed by RetroAudio. Our privacy policy describes what we process.

7. Availability and changes

We work hard to keep RetroAudio running and secure, but it is provided "as is", without a guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free service. We may improve, change or remove features over time.

8. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, revenue or data, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

9. Ending your account

You can delete your workspace from Settings at any time. We may suspend or end accounts that break these terms or put the service or other customers at risk.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll change the date above and, for important changes, email workspace owners before they apply. Continuing to use RetroAudio after a change means you accept it.
