Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-10-11

These terms are an agreement between you and Pediaca, LLC ("we", "us"), a Delaware limited liability company with its address at 1111B S Governors Ave, Ste 81429, Dover, DE 19904, USA, for the Leola app (iPhone and iPad, its widgets and Apple Watch app) and the website leola.app. Company details are in our Legal notice.

When you download the app from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple EULA") also applies. If these terms and the Apple EULA conflict, these terms prevail, except for the parts of the Apple EULA that protect Apple. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live ("your consumer rights"); see "Your consumer rights" below.

Who can use it

You must be at least 16 years old to use Leola. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you.

The app

Leola is free to download. Some features need an optional purchase ("Leola Plus"). The app shows what is free and what is paid, with the price, before you buy. The content you create in the app is yours; we don't claim any rights over it.

Your content, the audio and the voice model

What you add

Only add content that you own or have the right to use, or that you can lawfully access (for example your own notes and documents, or an article you're allowed to read). By adding something, you confirm that you have that right or access, and you are responsible for it. Leola reads aloud and exports only what you add yourself: it has no catalog of third-party content and it doesn't get around paywalls or copy protection.

The audio is for your personal use

The audio Leola generates, including audio files you download, is for your personal, non-commercial use only. Don't publish, sell or redistribute audio of content that belongs to someone else (for example another person's article, newsletter or book). You are responsible for anything you share.

We don't host your content or your audio: there are no public links, shared libraries or feeds. Downloaded files go only where you save or send them with iOS (Files, AirDrop or the share sheet).

Machine-generated voice

The voices in Leola are generated by a machine-learning model on your device; they are not recordings of a person. Every audio file you download says so in its metadata. If you share or publish audio made with Leola, for example audio of your own text, you must state expressly and intelligibly that it is machine-generated, and you must not remove or hide that notice.

Use restrictions of the voice model (Supertonic 3)

Leola generates its voices with Supertonic 3, a model by Supertone Inc. licensed under the BigScience OpenRAIL-M License. The model is subject to paragraph 5 (use-based restrictions) of that license. The restrictions below are part of these terms and are binding on you; we may enforce them, and breaking them is a serious breach of these terms that lets us end your use of the app.

You agree not to use the Model or Derivatives of the Model, including through Leola and the audio it generates:

• (a) In any way that violates any applicable national, federal, state, local or international law or regulation;
• (b) For the purpose of exploiting, harming or attempting to exploit or harm minors in any way;
• (c) To generate or disseminate verifiably false information and/or content with the purpose of harming others;
• (d) To generate or disseminate personal identifiable information that can be used to harm an individual;
• (e) To generate or disseminate information and/or content (e.g. images, code, posts, articles), and place the information and/or content in any context (e.g. bot generating tweets) without expressly and intelligibly disclaiming that the information and/or content is machine generated;
• (f) To defame, disparage or otherwise harass others;
• (g) To impersonate or attempt to impersonate (e.g. deepfakes) others without their consent;
• (h) For fully automated decision making that adversely impacts an individual’s legal rights or otherwise creates or modifies a binding, enforceable obligation;
• (i) For any use intended to or which has the effect of discriminating against or harming individuals or groups based on online or offline social behavior or known or predicted personal or personality characteristics;
• (j) To exploit any of the vulnerabilities of a specific group of persons based on their age, social, physical or mental characteristics, in order to materially distort the behavior of a person pertaining to that group in a manner that causes or is likely to cause that person or another person physical or psychological harm;
• (k) For any use intended to or which has the effect of discriminating against individuals or groups based on legally protected characteristics or categories;
• (l) To provide medical advice and medical results interpretation;
• (m) To generate or disseminate information for the purpose to be used for administration of justice, law enforcement, immigration or asylum processes, such as predicting an individual will commit fraud/crime commitment (e.g. by text profiling, drawing causal relationships between assertions made in documents, indiscriminate and arbitrarily-targeted use).

Third-party licenses

Supertonic 3 is © Supertone Inc. and licensed under the BigScience OpenRAIL-M License. The full license text, its notices and the changes we made to the model files are on our Licenses page, together with the licenses of the fonts we use.

Purchases and subscriptions

• Purchases are made through the App Store and billed by Apple to your Apple Account, under Apple's terms. We never see your payment details.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period (monthly or yearly, as shown before you buy) at the price then in effect, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged within 24 hours before the start of the new period.
• Free trial: if a plan includes a free trial (7 days), you are not charged until it ends, and the subscription starts automatically when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. We remind you in the app before the trial ends.
• Cancel any time in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or from the app (Settings → Membership, which opens Apple's subscription page). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep access until then.
• Price changes: we may change subscription prices for future periods to reflect changes in costs, taxes, currency exchange rates or the features we offer. Apple notifies you in advance; where the law or Apple's rules require your consent to a price increase, the subscription only renews at the new price if you agree, and you can always cancel before the change takes effect.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies and your consumer rights: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• What you add is yours whether or not you pay, and stopping a subscription never deletes your library. Downloading audio files is part of Leola Plus, apart from any free trial download the app offers.

Lifetime: a one-time purchase that unlocks Leola Plus for as long as we offer the app, with no renewals.

Your consumer rights

• EU, EEA and UK: in these regions the App Store purchase is concluded with Apple Distribution International Ltd., which handles your right of withdrawal: you can cancel a purchase within 14 days of receiving the receipt (see Apple's Media Services Terms). Because the app's paid features are digital content supplied immediately, Apple asks you before purchase to agree that supply starts right away and to acknowledge that you then lose the right of withdrawal. You also keep your legal rights if the app is faulty (does not conform to the contract).
• Brazil: nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Defense Code (CDC), including the right of withdrawal (art. 49) where it applies. Request it at reportaproblem.apple.com; if you have any problem, write to hello@leola.app and we will help you resolve it.
• Japan: see the notation under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions in our Legal notice.
• Everywhere: these terms do not exclude or limit any right that cannot be excluded or limited by contract under the law of your country.

Acceptable use

Don't copy, resell, reverse engineer (except where the law allows it), interfere with or misuse the app or the website, and don't use them to break the law.

Changes to the app and to these terms

We improve the app over time. We may add, change or remove features for valid reasons (for example security, legal requirements, technical changes or to keep the app sustainable), without extra cost to you. If a change materially and negatively affects your access to paid features, we will tell you in advance, and if you are a consumer in the EU you may end the contract free of charge as the law provides. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we will update the date above and tell you in the app before the changes apply; if you don't agree, you can stop using the app and cancel your subscription.

Warranty

We provide the app with reasonable care and skill, but we can't promise that it will always be available or free of errors. You keep all statutory rights for digital content and services (for example the legal guarantee of conformity in the EU and UK); nothing in these terms limits them.

Liability

1. We are liable without limitation for damage caused by our intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under mandatory product liability laws, and in any other case where liability cannot be limited by law.
2. In cases of slight (ordinary) negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential obligation (one that makes it possible to perform the contract and on which you can normally rely), and only for damage that was typical and foreseeable when you started using the app.
3. Subject to points 1 and 2 and only where the law allows it, our total liability for slight negligence is limited to the amount you paid for Leola in the 12 months before the claim.

These limitations do not apply where the mandatory law of your country does not allow them.

Ending the agreement

You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it (and cancelling any subscription in your Apple Account). We may suspend or end your use of the app if you seriously breach these terms, after warning you where possible.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you habitually live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Before going to court, please write to hello@leola.app: most problems are solved quickly that way. We are not obliged and do not commit to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Language

These terms are written in English and offered in other languages for your convenience. If the versions differ, the English version prevails, except where the law of your country requires the version in your language to apply or where the version in your language is more favorable to you.
