A clear understanding.
Before we begin.

KIOO is operated by Jason Johnson, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (“KIOO”, “we”, “us”). Contact hello@kioo.ae for questions about these terms, the beta or support.

These Beta Terms of Use describe the conditions we offer for participating in the KIOO beta and using its website. Contractual obligations apply where these terms have been validly agreed under applicable law. Viewing this page alone is not represented as express acceptance.

Apple’s TestFlight terms and any licence separately presented to you also apply. These terms do not replace Apple’s terms, grant rights beyond them, or reduce rights that applicable law makes mandatory. If you do not agree to terms presented for acceptance, do not accept them or continue participation under them.

Apple TestFlight terms ↗

Subject to applicable Apple terms and any beta licence you accept, you may use the authorised KIOO beta and its documentation for your own testing and evaluation on supported devices. This permission is limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable; access may be time-limited.

Do not resell or redistribute the beta, bypass access restrictions, remove proprietary notices, impersonate KIOO, or interfere with the app or website. Restrictions do not prevent conduct expressly permitted by applicable law or an applicable third-party or open-source licence. No purchase, subscription, future release or continued availability is promised by participation.

The KIOO software, original interface, logo, branding, documentation and website materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Rights remain with their respective owners and licensors. Your permission to test does not transfer ownership or grant a right to register, sell or use KIOO branding as your own.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Any third-party components remain subject to their own licences and notices. Nothing on this page asserts that a trademark, patent or other registration has been obtained.

You and the relevant rights holders retain rights in recordings, notes, documents and other material you bring to KIOO. We do not claim ownership of that material. You must have the permissions needed to record, import, process, export and share it.

Using KIOO does not grant us a general licence to publish your conversations or use them for unrelated purposes. If you choose to send content to support, you permit the processing reasonably needed to investigate and respond, as described in the Privacy notice. Do not send confidential information you are not entitled to disclose.

Generated output may contain errors or material similar to other output. These terms do not promise exclusive rights or copyright protection in generated text, or override another person’s rights.

Before recording or importing material, establish that you are entitled to do so and obtain any notices, consents and permissions required by the laws, workplace rules and confidentiality obligations that apply to you and the participants. A visible recording indicator does not obtain consent for you.

Do not use KIOO for unlawful surveillance, harassment, infringement, or unauthorised disclosure of personal or confidential information. Review what you export or share. You are responsible for your own lawful use; this does not remove any responsibility the law places on us.

This is pre-release software. Features can change, fail, become unavailable or produce incomplete results. Use suitable test material and keep independent backups. Do not rely on the beta as the sole record of an important conversation or in a safety-critical setting.

Transcripts, speaker information, questions, briefs, decisions and suggested actions can be delayed, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. Check them against the conversation and relevant evidence before relying on them or sharing them. KIOO does not guarantee real-time insight delivery, complete capture, verified speaker identity or a particular outcome.

Generated content is not professional medical, legal, financial or other regulated advice. Obtain appropriate professional advice when needed. Hardware, microphone placement, operating-system resources, language and the chosen provider affect availability and quality.

The Privacy notice explains local storage, permissions, Apple speech services, feedback and website hosting. The current TestFlight build, KIOO 0.2 (203), uses on-device Apple Foundation Models for live questions and AI briefs; OpenAI and Private Cloud Compute are disabled. The local meeting library is not an automatic KIOO cloud backup. Secure your Mac and retain any exports you need.

Apple and TestFlight have their own terms and privacy practices. If you separately configured an external AI provider in an earlier beta build, that provider’s terms, costs and processing practices apply to that earlier use. These terms do not alter those arrangements or make us the provider of those services.

Feedback is optional. If you send product ideas or suggestions, you grant Jason Johnson a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, adapt and incorporate that feedback into KIOO and related documentation without an obligation to pay you or implement it. You retain ownership of your feedback.

This permission does not extend to private meeting content, personal information or third-party confidential material included in a report. Those materials remain subject to the Privacy notice, relevant permissions and applicable law. Do not submit ideas you cannot authorise us to use.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the beta and website are provided as available, without additional guarantees of uninterrupted availability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, compatibility, security or error-free operation.

This disclaimer does not exclude mandatory warranties, remedies, duties of care or consumer protections. It does not override a specific express commitment we have made to you or excuse liability that the law does not allow us to exclude.

To the extent applicable law permits such a limitation, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the beta or website, including loss of anticipated profits or opportunities. We do not promise recovery of locally stored data or compensation for outcomes based on unverified generated content.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, deliberate wrongdoing, harmful acts, personal injury, or any other loss or obligation where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law. Mandatory consumer rights and available legal remedies remain unaffected. No zero-value liability cap is imposed merely because the beta is free.

This paragraph applies only where you participate in the course of a business, these terms have been validly agreed, and applicable law permits it. You agree to indemnify Jason Johnson for reasonable, direct losses and legal costs arising from a third-party claim caused by your intentional unlawful recording, intentional infringement of that party’s rights, or intentional unauthorised disclosure through your use of KIOO.

The obligation is limited to amounts finally awarded by a competent court or included in a settlement you approve in writing. It excludes loss caused by our own acts, omissions or breach, ordinary good-faith beta testing, and any amount that cannot lawfully be recovered from you. We will notify you promptly of a claim and allow a reasonable opportunity to participate in its defence. You are not required to fund an unapproved settlement. This paragraph imposes no contractual indemnity on consumers.

You may stop testing at any time. We may change or end beta availability, or suspend participation for misuse, security concerns, legal requirements or the conclusion of testing, subject to applicable law and any commitments we have made. Apple may also expire or remove beta builds.

Stopping participation does not automatically delete local recordings or copies you exported. Use the app’s available deletion controls and review the Privacy notice. We will date material changes to these terms and seek fresh acceptance where required; changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights. Provisions intended to continue, including ownership and lawful responsibility for earlier acts, survive to the extent permitted by law.

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the Emirate of Dubai and the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates. The competent courts of Dubai have non-exclusive jurisdiction, subject to mandatory rules on jurisdiction and any consumer protections that apply to you. This does not prevent you from bringing a claim in another court where the law gives you that right.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent lawful. Contact Jason Johnson at hello@kioo.ae to raise a concern or request help. Informal contact is welcome but does not prevent you from seeking a legal remedy or meeting a legal deadline.
