Terms of Use for Bettertype
Effective date: September 2026
Please read these Terms carefully. By downloading, installing or using Bettertype, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.
ABOUT THESE TERMS
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Pixster Studio LLP, a limited liability partnership registered in India ("Pixster", "we", "us"), governing your use of the Bettertype keyboard application, its features and related services (together, the "App").
ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to use the App. If you are under 18, you may use the App only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. Purchases may be made only by adults or with a parent's or guardian's permission.
LICENCE TO USE THE APP
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download, install and use the App on Android devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not:
(a) copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of the App;
(b) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, except where the law expressly permits it;
(c) rent, lease, sell, sublicense or redistribute the App;
(d) remove or alter any proprietary notices; or
(e) circumvent licence checks, purchase verification or other technical protections.
FEATURES AND PERMISSIONS
The App offers typing features (autocorrect, glide typing, text shortcuts and multiple languages), themes and keyboard styles, vibration and haptic feedback, notes, clipboard history, offline text translation, media (GIFs, stickers, memes, clips and emoji), voice features, and AI text features. Some features require an internet connection, microphone access or a paid subscription.
The App requests device permissions (including microphone, network access and vibration) only to provide these features. The Privacy Policy explains each permission and what data is processed. You may deny optional permissions; the related feature will then be unavailable.
We may add, change or remove features at any time. If we remove a significant paid feature during an active subscription period, we will try to offer a reasonable alternative or a pro-rated remedy where required by law.
UPDATES TO THE APP
We may release updates to the App from time to time to add or improve features, fix bugs, improve performance or security, or comply with law. Depending on your device and Google Play settings, updates may be downloaded and installed automatically. Some updates may be required to keep using the App or certain features, and we are not obliged to support earlier versions once an update is available. These Terms apply to all updates unless an update comes with separate terms.
AI FEATURES
AI features — including grammar fix, AI rewrite, tone changer, summarise, smart reply, AI Polish and voice translation — generate output automatically using artificial intelligence, including GPT models provided by OpenAI and accessed through our cloud function. You understand and agree that:
(a) Output may be wrong. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, inappropriate, or change the meaning of your text. It may not reflect the tone you intended. Always review output before you send or rely on it.
(b) You are responsible for what you send. You decide whether to use, edit or discard AI output, and you are responsible for any message you send, including in professional, legal, medical, financial or other important contexts.
(c) Not professional advice. AI output is not legal, medical, financial or other professional advice.
(d) Similar output. Other users may receive similar or identical output, and output is not exclusive to you.
(e) Usage limits. We may apply fair-use limits on the number or size of AI requests, including for free and paid plans, to protect service quality and prevent abuse.
(f) Don't include sensitive data. Please do not submit passwords, financial account details, government ID numbers or similar sensitive information to AI features.
VOICE FEATURES
Voice typing, AI Polish, voice translation and the floating voice badge use your device's microphone only while you actively use them. Transcription and translation may be inaccurate, especially with background noise, accents, names or technical terms. Review the text before sending. You must not use voice features to record other people without their knowledge or consent where the law requires it.
Offline text translation uses on-device language packs and may be less accurate than online translation. Translations are provided for convenience only and should not be relied on for legal, medical, safety-critical or official purposes.
GIFS, STICKERS AND THIRD-PARTY CONTENT
GIFs, stickers, memes and clips are supplied by our third-party content provider, KLIPY, and remain the property of their respective owners. Your use of that content is subject to KLIPY's terms and policies. We do not create, control or endorse third-party content, and although we apply content filters where available, you may encounter material you find offensive or inappropriate. You are responsible for making sure your use of any media — including sending it to others — respects the rights of its owners and applicable law. We are not responsible for third-party websites, apps or services linked from the App.
YOUR CONTENT
"Your Content" means text you type, notes, clipboard items, voice input, and any text you submit to AI or voice features, together with the resulting output provided to you. As between you and Pixster, you own Your Content, and to the extent permitted by law you own the output generated for you.
You grant Pixster and its service providers a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to process Your Content only as necessary to provide the features you request, to keep the App secure, and to comply with law. We do not use Your Content for advertising, and we do not publish it. This licence ends when the content is deleted from our systems as described in the Privacy Policy.
Notes, clipboard history and learned words are stored locally on your device. You are responsible for backing up anything important; uninstalling the App or clearing its data will delete them.
If you send us feedback or suggestions, you allow us to use them to improve our products without any obligation to you.
PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what information is processed, how it is used and shared, how long it is kept, and your rights under applicable data protection laws, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Please read it carefully before using the App.
The App relies on third-party services to provide some features, including OpenAI (AI features), Google (Firebase Cloud Functions, Firebase Crashlytics, Google Analytics for Firebase, Google Play Billing and Licensing) and KLIPY (GIFs, stickers, memes and clips). When you use a feature that depends on one of these services, the information needed for that feature is processed by the relevant provider, as described in the Privacy Policy and subject to that provider's own terms and privacy policy.
We do not store the text you type, your voice input, your notes or your clipboard on our servers. Data stored locally on your device remains under your control, and you can delete it in the App's settings or by uninstalling the App. To exercise your data protection rights, contact us as described in Section 22.
ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree not to use the App, including its AI, voice and media features, to:
(a) break any law, or violate anyone's rights, including privacy, publicity and intellectual property rights;
(b) create or send content that is unlawful, harassing, threatening, hateful, defamatory, sexually exploitative (including any content involving minors), or that promotes violence or self-harm;
(c) create spam, scams, phishing messages, malware or deceptive content, or impersonate any person or organisation;
(d) generate misinformation intended to mislead others, or content that falsely appears to come from a real person;
(e) collect other people's personal information without permission;
(f) automate, scrape, resell or build a competing product using the App or its AI features, or send requests other than through the App's normal interface;
(g) interfere with, overload or probe the security of the App or our servers; or
(h) try to bypass usage limits, safety filters, licence checks or payment requirements.
We may block requests, limit features, or suspend access if we reasonably believe you are breaching this section.
SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PURCHASES
(a) Billing. Premium features may be offered as auto-renewing subscriptions or one-time purchases, sold and billed through Google Play. Prices are shown in the App before purchase and include applicable taxes where required.
(b) Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. We will notify you in advance of any price increase as required by Google Play and applicable law.
(c) Free trials. If you start a free trial, you will be charged when it ends unless you cancel before the trial ends. Trial eligibility is determined by Google Play.
(d) Cancelling. Uninstalling the App does not cancel a subscription. Cancel in Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep premium access until then.
(e) Refunds. Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for partially used periods.
(f) Licence verification. The App uses Google Play Licensing and Billing to verify purchases. Premium features may stop working if a purchase is refunded, charged back or cannot be verified.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The App — including its software, design, themes, keyboard styles, graphics, sounds, text and the Pixster and Bettertype names and logos — is owned by Pixster or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the licence in Section 3, no rights are transferred to you. The App may include open-source components that are governed by their own licences, which are available in the App's settings.
If you believe content available through the App infringes your copyright, contact us at the address in Section 22 with details of the work and the allegedly infringing material.
GOOGLE PLAY
These Terms are between you and Pixster, not Google. Google is not responsible for the App or its content. Your use of Google Play is also subject to Google Play's Terms of Service. If these Terms conflict with Google Play's mandatory terms regarding purchases and refunds, Google Play's terms apply to that extent.
DISCLAIMERS
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". PIXSTER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT AUTOCORRECT, PREDICTIONS, TRANSCRIPTION, TRANSLATION OR AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. ONLINE FEATURES DEPEND ON INTERNET CONNECTIVITY AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES THAT WE DO NOT CONTROL.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PIXSTER AND ITS PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP — INCLUDING ANY MESSAGE YOU SEND, ANY RELIANCE ON AI, TRANSLATION OR TRANSCRIPTION OUTPUT, OR LOSS OF LOCALLY STORED NOTES OR CLIPBOARD DATA.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) INR 1,000.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY LAW, SUCH AS LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE.
INDEMNITY
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pixster and its partners, employees and affiliates from claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the App, or content you create or send using the App.
SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
You may stop using the App at any time by disabling it as your keyboard and uninstalling it (and cancelling any subscription in Google Play). We may suspend or end your access to all or part of the App if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the App. Where reasonable, we will give you notice. Sections 9 (feedback), 13, 15, 16, 17, 20 and 21 survive termination.
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will notify you in the App or by other reasonable means before they take effect. If you continue to use the App after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, you should stop using the App and cancel any subscription.
GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence, the courts at Surat, Gujarat, India will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App. Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally within 30 days.
If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another country whose laws give you the right to bring claims in your local courts or apply your local law, nothing in this section removes that right.
GENERAL
These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and Pixster regarding the App. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent; we may transfer ours in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
