You may sign in with your Google account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity that occurs under it.

Guests

Guests may join a session via a shared link or QR code without an account. Guest sessions are subject to the same Terms. No account data is collected from guests, but audio and transcripts are processed as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Audio and Content

By using Voice mode, you grant us a limited license to process your audio solely for the purpose of transcription and translation within your active session. Audio is not stored after transcription. Transcribed text is retained for up to 7 days to support conversation history, then deleted automatically. You retain ownership of the content you provide.

6. Third-Party Services

Relay uses third-party services including OpenAI/Groq (transcription), DeepL (translation), Google OAuth (authentication), Upstash Redis (session storage), Resend (email), and Fly.io (hosting). Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms and privacy policies of these providers. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

7. Service Availability

We aim to keep Relay available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may suspend, modify, or discontinue the Service at any time without notice. We are not liable for any loss resulting from downtime or service changes.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that translations are accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose. Relay is not intended for use in safety-critical situations where translation errors could cause harm.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, mistranslation, or communication failures.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects when changes were last made. Continued use of Relay after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users.
