2. Conclusion of the contract

  • electronically (online ordering and confirmation, or quotation and acceptance of quotation via email or on the Internet); or
  • by individual contract.

The confirmation message, the offer accepted by the Customer or the contract concluded by the parties must specify whether the parties shall deviate from the terms of use of the application and specify custom terms. Unless custom terms are specified by the parties, the offer and its acceptance, as well as the order and the confirmation message, together with these General Terms and Conditions, shall constitute the contract between the parties for the use of the application.

2.2. Upon submitting a request for quotation, the Customer will receive an offer containing the price and other custom terms. For enterprises, the quotation does not include VAT. If the offer is accepted by the Customer, it must be confirmed in writing (by post, electronically or on the RÉGENS online interface), together with the acceptance of the general terms and conditions (by signing on each page and submitting the GTC or electronically, by consenting to the GTC).

If the order and the confirmation message, as well as the offer and the acceptance of the offer are the same, the contract is concluded. In the case of online completion or electronic submission, the contract is considered an electronic written contract if sent from the official email address indicated (registered) by the party.

3. Service

3.1. The Customer shall upload – or, in case of special needs, as specified in the individual contract – the audio material (hereinafter referred to as the sample) to RÉGENS at the Customer’s own expense and risk. More information about using the application is available at this link: https://alrite.io. Please read the terms of use before ordering or accepting our offer.

The accuracy and quality of the transcription is significantly influenced by the quality of the audio material and the recording conditions (such as the quality of the microphone). Our preliminary tests have shown that the accuracy of transcription is around 90%, depending on the recording conditions.

As the service provider of the application, RÉGENS does its best to ensure that the transcription of the uploaded materials is accurate. The service provider is not liable for any direct or indirect damage related to possible errors or total or partial termination of the service, and the user may use the application at the user’s own risk. The Swedish, Portuguese, Italian and Polish speech recognition models include software developed by Max Bain.

3.2. The Customer authorizes RÉGENS to transmit and communicate to its cooperating subcontractor all information related to the performance of the service provided by the Customer to RÉGENS.

3.3. Information about the handling and storage of the audio material is contained in the privacy policy (accessible here: https://www.regens.com/ai//information-about-data-processing/.)

3.4. Conditions for the renewal of subscription:

  • If the 1-year subscription period of the Customer has not expired yet, but the time credit has been completely exhausted, the Customer is allowed to subscribe to any package in the form of a new subscription, with a subscription period of 1 year from activation.
  • If the 1-year subscription period of the Customer has not expired yet, and the time credit has not been exhausted, the Customer is allowed to subscribe to a new subscription package under the following terms:
    • If the same subscription package is purchased as the Customer’s current subscription, the newly purchased time credit will be added to the time credit available under the active subscription.
    • When switching to a higher-level subscription package (from Lite to Plus for private use, or from Prime to Premium or Professional or from Premium to Professional for business use), the remaining time credit must be weighted to the difference in minutes between the fee of the two subscription packages, and then the weighted time credit is added to the time credit of the new subscription package, to be used for the functions available under the new subscription package. The basis for the calculation of the fee is the difference between the package fees at the moment of the switchover. The Customer can find information about the difference in fees on the interface in the case of private use packages, or by requesting a quotation from the Contractor in the case of business use packages.
    • When switching to a lower-level subscription package (from Plus to Lite for private use, or from Professional to Premium or Prime or from Premium to Prime for business use), the remaining time credit must be weighted to the difference in minutes between the fee of the two subscription packages, and then the weighted time credit is added to the time credit of the new subscription package, to be used for the functions available under the new subscription package.

3.5. When switching to the Starter version, the time frame of the Customer’s current subscription and the functionality of the current package are no longer available (ie they are lost to the Customer: RÉGENS cannot scale the remaining time frame and cannot refund the amount for the unused time frame), the Customer can only use the functionality and the monthly renewed timeframe of the Starter version.

3.6. The service may not be resold to another person, and the contract cannot be transferred, meaning that individual subscribers may use the service only for the individual’s own purposes, while legal entity subscribers may use the service in the context of its own activities through the entity’s employees or contractual contributors.

The usage fee of the application as well as the commitment fee and duration of transcription are included in the accepted offer or the confirmation of the order. It is necessary for the operation of the application that the Customer pays the fee and that it is credited to the bank account of RÉGENS, unless, due to individual needs, the parties have agreed otherwise.

6. Faulty, performance, liability, compensation

6.1. As regards its obligation to handle quality objections related to possible faulty performance, as well as to provide compensation, correction or price reduction, RÉGENS undertakes to be guided by Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code, as follows:
RÉGENS accepts objections within 5 working days from the receipt of the transcript by the Customer.

The Customer acknowledges that, since the transcript is not entirely accurate, and its quality depends on the quality of the audio material and the conditions of the recording, the Customer is not entitled to claim damages for faulty transcription from RÉGENS.

6.2. RÉGENS shall not be held liable

  • for any damage and expenses arising from untrue statements made as part of the request for quotation or in other circumstances;
  • if the Customer failed to fulfill its obligation to cooperate, or failed to fulfill its obligation as expected;
  • for delays and damage due to material or technical errors in the audio material;
  • for any damage resulting from incorrect sending of the sample or loss, damage or destruction during sending;
  • for damages resulting from infringing content included in the sample; or
  • for any other late performance or damage resulting from conduct not attributable to RÉGENS.
  • For any damage resulting from the use of the OpenAI and DeepL services for which the OpenAI and DeepL service providers are responsible, which the RÉGENS did not contribute to and could not have foreseen or prevented, given the state of the art.

RÉGENS undertakes to compensate any proven damage up to the amount of the commitment fee. No damages can be claimed or any other claims can be made on the basis of faulty performance beyond six months from the date of performance.

RÉGENS limits its liability for damages due to the fact that the service it provides is not based on scientific precision, but at the examination of a sample at a given moment, and that RÉGENS has informed the Customer about the facts that the quality of the audio material significantly affects the transcription and that the application had been accessible to users as a free DEMO before it was launched live.

The Customer understands and accepts to be bound by the above unusual terms and conditions for damages and claims submission.

7. Termination of the contract

7.1. The contract concluded between the Customer and RÉGENS under the above terms is concluded for a definite period of time, which is until the performance of the service/consideration specified in the offer and its acceptance (or in the individual contract). The parties may amend or terminate the contract in writing by mutual agreement at any time.

7.2. The Customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract or terminate the contract at any time, with compensation for the proven costs and damage of RÉGENS. However, if the application is launched or – in case of an individual contract – the audio material is submitted, RÉGENS shall be entitled to receive the commitment fee, unless RÉGENS fails to provide the service before the contractual deadline expires and is not able to legally excuse itself, or is otherwise in serious breach of this contract.

If the Customer has ordered the application for a definite period of time and for a certain number of transcriptions, RÉGENS shall be entitled to receive the commitment fee even if the Customer fails to use the transcription service, in full or in part.

By submitting an order after having received and studied the quotation sent by RÉGENS, the Customer, who qualifies as a Consumer, shall request, consent to and authorize RÉGENS to start the performance before the right of withdrawal or cancellation established in Government Decree no. 45/2014 (II. 26.) expires. RÉGENS shall inform the Customer that the performance will be started immediately after the receipt of the commitment fee. The Customer, who qualifies as a Consumer, acknowledges and accepts that he or she loses his or her right of cancellation without notice within 14 days established in Section 20 of the Government Decree after the service is fully performed.

7.3. RÉGENS may terminate the contract if the Customer fails to fulfill its obligations under the contract or otherwise seriously breaches the contract. RÉGENS is not obliged to launch the application or start the transcription until the commitment fee has been credited to its bank account, unless the parties have agreed otherwise in writing.

8. Validity and scope of the contract and scope of the general terms and conditions

Unless otherwise agreed, the fulfillment of orders is subject to the General Terms and Conditions stated here, in addition to what is stated in the order, the confirmation message (offer and its acceptance) and the individual contracts. If the conditions contained in the individual contract, the custom offer and its acceptance or the individual order and confirmation message are different from or contrary to the conditions contained in these GTC, the conditions contained therein shall apply to the legal relationship between the Customer and RÉGENS.

These General Terms and Conditions are valid until revoked. If the General Terms and Conditions are amended, RÉGENS shall inform the Customer 30 days before the amendments enter into force. If the Customer does not wish to accept the amended terms and conditions, the General Terms and Conditions accepted by the Customer shall remain in force during the term of the contract. If the Customer fails to provide a reply, the parties shall consider that the Customer has accepted the amendment.

9. Final provisions

9.1. The parties are obliged to cooperate closely with each other to ensure the performance of the contract and to inform each other without delay about any problems that may hinder, limit or delay the performance.
