Government procurement notice

Recap Innovations' Services may be procured by eligible state and local government entities through Carahsoft Technology Corp. under the NASPO Comprehensive Cloud Solutions Participating Addendum, NASPO Contract #LS4983 (September 2026 through September 2036). These Terms and Conditions serve as the end user terms of service for customers purchasing through that contract vehicle, subject to any applicable statement of work, order form, or other written agreement governing your purchase.

1. Terms

By accessing the services (the "Services") provided through the Recap Innovations platform (including but not limited to the websites using the recap-innovations.com and the griffinscribe.com domain names and the "Recap: Catch Every Word™" web & mobile app) (collectively, the "Platform"), you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and agree that you are responsible for complying with any applicable local laws. If you disagree with any of these terms, you may not use the Platform or Services. The materials contained on or available through the Platform are protected by copyright and trademark law.

2. Use License

Permission is granted to you to download a copy of the materials through the Services for transitory viewing only. This is the grant only of a license and not a transfer of title. Under this license you may not and agree that you will not:

  • modify or copy the materials; use the materials for any commercial purpose or for any public display;
  • attempt to reverse engineer or decompile any software, algorithms, or API endpoints contained on or produced by the Platform or Services;
  • remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notations from the materials;

3. Disclaimer

ALL THE MATERIALS ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS." RECAP INNOVATIONS HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FURTHERMORE, RECAP INNOVATIONS DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF THE USE OF THE MATERIALS ON OR THROUGH ITS SERVICES OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO SUCH MATERIALS OR ANY SITES LINKED TO THE PLATFORM.

THE SERVICES MAY CONTAIN TRANSLATIONS POWERED BY GOOGLE. GOOGLE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE TRANSLATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

The Platform makes use of various Google APIs. The Platform's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Use of Google Workspace Data for AI and ML Models

Our Platform uses Google Workspace APIs for purposes such as interacting with and transcribing media content hosted in Google Drive. Our Platform does not currently use Google Workspace APIs to develop, improve, or train generalized or non-personalized artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) models. We affirm that the use of information received from Google Workspace APIs will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements, and will not be used for generalized AI/ML training.

Our Platform may briefly transfer limited Google Workspace user data, such as transcripts produced from media stored in Google Drive, to trusted third-party AI/ML tools for the purpose of providing enhanced features, including but not limited to, summarization of transcripts, auto-detection and correction of grammar and spelling errors, sentiment analysis, keyword and topic generation, and action item identification. These transfers are strictly for processing user-specific data to enhance transcription and captioning features, and the data is not used to train generalized AI/ML models across users or for any purposes outside of the specific feature or action requested by the user. To opt-out of AI-enhanced editing features for a workspace account on our Platform, an administrator of that workspace must send a message to legal@recap-innovations.com within thirty (30) days of the initial account setup for our Services, with the subject "AI/ML Enhanced Editing Opt-Out" and a body message containing the workspace name and workspace ID.

In the event our Platform integrates personalized AI/ML models in the future, such use will be strictly limited to the individual user's data for the purpose of enhancing the user's personal experience with the Platform or Services, such as optimizing features like a personalized AI editor to improve media transcripts stored in their Google Drive. To reiterate, no Google Workspace data is shared, transferred, or used to train generalized models across multiple users.

5. Fees, payment, and limitations

5.1 Fees and payment obligations

You agree to pay all fees, charges, and amounts due for your use of the Services at the prices and on the billing terms presented at purchase, in your account or workspace settings, in an applicable order form or quote, or as otherwise agreed in writing between you and Recap Innovations (including subscription fees, usage-based fees, and one-time charges). Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in U.S. dollars. You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes imposed on your purchase or use of the Services, other than taxes based on Recap Innovations' net income. If you dispute any invoice, you must notify Recap Innovations in writing within a reasonable time (no more than six (6) months after the invoice date), and you remain obligated to pay any undisputed amounts when due.

5.2 Late payment

If any undisputed amount is not received by the due date stated on the invoice, in the Platform, or in your applicable agreement (or, if no date is stated, within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date), Recap Innovations may charge a late fee on the overdue balance at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (eighteen percent (18%) per year), or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the date payment was due until paid. Recap Innovations may also suspend or limit access to the Services for material non-payment, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

5.3 Limitation of liability (aggregate cap)

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Recap Innovations' total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, or the Services shall be limited as follows. Your recovery of fees or other monetary damages from Recap Innovations shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the total fees actually paid by you to Recap Innovations for the Services during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. For claims resolved through binding arbitration or through litigation (where Sections 13.11 and 13.12 apply), the monetary caps in those sections control if they would result in a lower maximum recovery than this Section 5.3. Recap Innovations shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, except where such exclusions are prohibited by applicable law.

The decision and award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the claimant, as well as the claimant's successors, heirs, assigns, and legal representatives.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total cumulative liability of Recap Innovations, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assignees, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Platform, or the Services, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal or equitable theory, shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the total fees received by Recap Innovations from you during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) $5,000.
