Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this podcast transcript search service ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

This site is a fan-made, independent search engine that indexes publicly available podcast transcripts to help users find specific moments, quotes, and discussions within podcast episodes.

The Service functions similarly to a search engine (like Google) but is specialized for podcast content. We provide a search interface and AI-powered question-answering capabilities to help users discover content within indexed podcasts.

3. Important Disclaimers About Content

4. Fair Use & Purpose

This Service is provided for the following purposes:

• Search and Discovery: Helping fans and listeners find specific moments or topics within podcast episodes.
• Navigation: Providing timestamped links that direct users to the original content on official platforms.
• Accessibility: Making podcast content more searchable and accessible to users who want to revisit specific discussions.

We believe this constitutes fair use as a search and indexing service that adds functionality and drives traffic to the original content. We do not reproduce full episodes or compete with the original distribution of the content.

5. Copyright Concerns & Takedown Requests

We respect the intellectual property rights of content creators. If you are a content owner and have concerns about your content being indexed on this platform:

• We will promptly respond to legitimate takedown requests
• We can remove specific episodes, entire shows, or modify how content is presented
• We are committed to working with content creators to address any concerns

To submit a takedown request or discuss concerns, please contact us through the appropriate channels associated with this service.

6. AI-Generated Content

Our AI Search feature uses artificial intelligence to provide answers based on indexed transcripts:

• AI answers are generated summaries and interpretations, not direct quotes unless specifically indicated.
• AI may make mistakes, hallucinate information, or misinterpret context. Always verify important information by watching the original content.
• AI answers should not be cited as authoritative statements by the podcast hosts or guests.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use automated tools to scrape or bulk-download content
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits or abuse the AI features
• Reproduce, redistribute, or commercially exploit the indexed transcripts
• Use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws
• Misrepresent search results or AI answers as official statements from content creators

8. Rate Limits

To ensure fair access for all users and prevent abuse, we implement rate limits on certain features, particularly AI-powered search. These limits may vary and are subject to change. Users who exceed rate limits may be temporarily restricted from using certain features.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT:

• The Service will be uninterrupted or error-free
• Transcripts will be accurate or complete
• AI-generated answers will be correct or reliable
• All episodes or content will be indexed

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM:

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.

12. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
