Terms of service

Who we are

Typo is made and sold by The Knowledge Formula FZCO (trading as Typo), Premises 38871-001, IFZA Business Park, DDP, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Registration DSO-FZCO-36765, trade licence 38871, TRN 104248952400001. Email: me@karllillrud.com.

In these terms "we", "us" and "our" mean The Knowledge Formula FZCO, and "you" means the person or organisation using Typo. "Typo" means the app for Windows and Mac, its updates, the website and the online service behind them.

Accepting these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and us. You accept them when you install or use Typo, and when you tick the box in the app. During setup, Typo asks every user, free and paid, to accept these terms and the privacy notice before it starts correcting. The app stores the version you accepted and the time, on your computer and with the device record on our server.

If you do not accept these terms, do not install or use Typo. If you use Typo on behalf of an organisation, you accept these terms for that organisation and confirm that you are allowed to do so.

Minimum age

You must be at least 16 years old to use Typo. If the law where you live sets a higher age of digital consent, you must be at least that age.

The product

Typo is an app for Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 12 or later that fixes common typos as you type. It works in most apps but deliberately stays out of password fields, terminals, code editors and some other apps. It fixes only words it is confident about. It will not catch every mistake and it can sometimes change a word you meant to write. Always review important text before you send or publish it.

Your licence

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Typo on the computers you own or control, for as long as you follow these terms. A paid plan or a gift covers one computer. You may move a subscription to a new computer from your account once every 30 days. The software is licensed to you, not sold. We keep all rights that these terms do not expressly give you.

Free plan

For your first 3 months, each computer gets 500 fixes per calendar month (UTC) free of charge. After that, and whenever you run out, you get more free fixes by inviting friends: when a friend you invited starts using Typo, you and the friend each get 200 free fixes. There is no limit on the number of friends. You can also upgrade to Typo Unlimited.

When your free fixes are used up, Typo pauses corrections until you have more fixes. Normal typing is never blocked.

We may change the free plan, including the number of free fixes and invite credits, for the future. Changes apply from the date we announce them and do not remove free fixes already credited to you, except credits revoked under "Referrals and sharing" below.

Typo Unlimited, payment and renewal

Typo Unlimited costs €5.90 per month per computer, including VAT where applicable. Payments are processed by Stripe. The subscription renews automatically every month and you are charged at each renewal until you cancel.

If we change the price, we tell you in advance and the new price applies from your first renewal after the notice. You can cancel before then if you do not want to pay the new price.

Cancellation

You can cancel at any time in the billing portal from your account. Cancelling stops future renewals. Typo Unlimited stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, and then Typo returns to the free plan.

Money-back guarantee and right of withdrawal

If Typo is not for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. This also covers the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for consumers in the EU and UK.

Apart from this, payments for periods that have started are not refunded, unless the law requires it or these terms say otherwise.

Gifts

Gifts are prepaid for 1, 3 or 12 months, never renew, and are delivered as a single-use code by email. A code activates one computer. Refunded or disputed gift payments cancel the code.

Token language and AI tools

Token language is an optional module that shortens text you write to third-party AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Lovable, so that it uses fewer tokens and credits.

• Token and credit savings shown by Typo are estimates. Real savings depend on each provider and are not guaranteed.
• Shorter text can change the meaning of what you write or the results you get. You decide what you send, and you should review it before you send it.
• Safe mode keeps the originals of the text that token language changed, encrypted on your computer, for 30 days.
• We are not affiliated with any AI provider. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to what you send them, and we are not responsible for their services or their answers.

Recording mode

Recording mode is optional and off by default. When you switch it on, Typo keeps what you type encrypted on your computer only, for 7, 30 or 90 days as you choose. It never records password, code or blocked fields, and it masks long numbers and email addresses. The recorded text is used to learn your personal rules on your computer and is never sent to us. Only single words Typo did not recognise can be shared, without any surrounding text, as described in the Privacy notice; you can switch this off separately. You can view and delete the recording in Settings. Make sure your use of recording mode follows any rules that apply to you, for example at work.

Acceptable use

You must not:

• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble Typo, except where the law allows it despite this restriction;
• get around, disable or tamper with free plan limits, licence checks, activation or other technical limits;
• copy, resell, rent or sublicense Typo, or share activation or gift codes for payment;
• abuse the referral programme, for example with fake accounts, fake devices or inviting yourself;
• use Typo to break the law or to violate the rights of others, including their privacy and intellectual property;
• interfere with, overload or attack our service, or access it other than through the app and the website.

Referrals and sharing

Share buttons open the social network you choose (LinkedIn, X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok or Snapchat) with a prepared post that you can edit. You decide whether to publish it. We never post on your behalf. Follow the rules of the network you use, and only invite people who are likely to welcome it.

Invite credits are meant for real people who start using Typo. We may refuse, withhold or revoke credits and rewards obtained by fraud, fake accounts, self-referrals or other abuse, and suspend the licences involved. Credits have no cash value and cannot be sold or transferred.

Intellectual property and feedback

Typo, including its software, correction rules, the word lists we compiled, the website, the name Typo and its logo, belongs to us or our licensors. Open source parts are covered by their own licences, listed on the legal information page.

If you send us ideas, ratings, reviews or other feedback, you allow us to use them freely, worldwide and without payment or any obligation to you. We publish a review on our website only with your consent.

Third-party services and trademarks

Typo works alongside apps and services from other companies, such as your operating system, browsers, AI tools and social networks, and uses Stripe for payments. We do not control these services and are not responsible for them. Their own terms apply. Names of other companies and products belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility, as explained on the legal information page.

Availability, updates and beta features

The app downloads updated correction rules and installs app updates automatically unless you switch updates off in Settings. Corrections keep working offline.

We work to keep the service available but cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may change, improve or remove features. Features marked as beta, preview or experimental may be less reliable and may change or be withdrawn at any time.

Disclaimer of warranties

As far as the law allows, Typo is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not promise that Typo will catch every mistake, that every change it makes is right, that it works in every app, that any token or credit saving is reached, or that it runs without interruption or errors. You are responsible for checking your text before you send or publish it. If you are a consumer, this does not affect your statutory rights.

Limitation of liability

As far as the law allows:

• we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, data or opportunity, or for loss caused by text you sent or published;
• our total liability for all claims connected with Typo is limited to the amount you paid us for Typo in the 12 months before the claim arose, or EUR 50 if you paid nothing.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law. If you are a consumer, you keep the mandatory rights you have under the law of your country of residence, and these limits apply only as far as that law allows.

Indemnity for business users

If you use Typo for business or professional purposes, you will compensate us for claims, losses and reasonable costs, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of Typo. This section does not apply to consumers.

Suspension and termination

You can stop using Typo at any time by uninstalling it and cancelling any subscription.

We may suspend or end your access, including licences and credits, if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect the service or other users. Where reasonable, we tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. If we end a paid plan when you have not broken these terms, we refund the unused part of the period you paid for.

Sections that by their nature should continue after termination, such as intellectual property, disclaimer, liability, indemnity and law, continue to apply.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms, for example when Typo or the law changes. For material changes we give you notice in advance in the app or by email, with the date the new terms take effect. If you keep using Typo after that date, you accept the new terms. If you do not agree, stop using Typo and cancel your subscription before that date. The app may ask you to accept the new version. The current version is shown at the top of this page.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the UAE. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence and may bring claims there. Contact us first at me@karllillrud.com and we will try to resolve it.

General

If a court finds any part of these terms invalid, the rest stays in force. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another company, for example if Typo is sold; this does not reduce your rights as a consumer. You may not transfer yours without our written consent.

These terms and the privacy notice are the entire agreement between you and us about Typo. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
