Terms of Use

VocaDo is a practice tool your clinician gives you. These terms set out what it is, what it is not, and what each of us is responsible for.

1. Who we are

VocaDo is provided by VocaVibe LTD, registered in Israel. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean VocaVibe; "you" means the person using the app.

By using VocaDo you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the app and tell your clinician.

2. What VocaDo is

VocaDo is a voice and speech rehabilitation practice app. It gives you the exercises your clinician has assigned, records you while you do them, measures qualities of your voice such as loudness, pitch, clarity and steadiness, shows you feedback while you speak, and shares the results with your clinician.

It is a tool for practising and for measuring. It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment decision, and not a substitute for professional care.

3. Your clinician's role

Your clinician decides what you practise, how often, and what your results mean. They are responsible for your clinical care; we are responsible for the software working as described.

Measurements are affected by your phone, the room, how far you hold the device and background noise. They are most useful compared against your own earlier recordings, not against other people. Your clinician knows this and reads them accordingly.

4. Your account

• Your phone number is your identity. Keep access to it, and do not let someone else use your account.
• Your clinic creates your account when they add you as a patient. You cannot sign up on your own.
• Tell us or your clinic promptly if you think someone else has got into your account.

5. Using the app properly

Please do not:

• Record anyone other than yourself, or record someone without their knowledge.
• Try to break into, disrupt, copy or reverse engineer the app or our systems.
• Use the app for anything unlawful, or in a way that could harm another person.
• Use someone else's account, or share yours.

6. The in-app companion

The companion is a conversation partner powered by a language model. Talking to it is speech practice — the point is that you speak, not that it advises you.

• It is not a clinician, therapist or counsellor, and nothing it says is medical advice.
• Language models can be wrong or make things up. Do not rely on what it tells you.
• It is not a crisis service and cannot get help for you. If you are in distress, contact your clinician or your local emergency number.

7. Availability

We try to keep VocaDo working, but we do not promise it will always be available or uninterrupted. We may change features, pause the service for maintenance, or stop offering it. Where a change materially affects you, we will give reasonable notice through the app or your clinic.

8. Who owns what

We own the app, its design, the VocaDo and VocaVibe names and marks, and the methods behind the measurements. You get permission to use the app for your own rehabilitation, and nothing more.

Your recordings remain yours. You give us permission to store and process them in order to provide the service and to share them with your clinic, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use them for anything else without asking you separately.

9. Your data

How we handle your recordings and health information is set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. You can ask us to delete your data at any time through the deletion request page.

10. Ending your use

You can stop using VocaDo whenever you like, and ask us to delete your account. Your clinic may also end your access — for example when your treatment plan finishes. We may suspend access if these terms are seriously broken, or if we must in order to protect other users.

Your clinic may keep your records as part of your clinical file even after your access ends, where they are required to.

11. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that: VocaDo is provided as it is. We do not promise the measurements are clinically accurate for any particular purpose, and we are not liable for decisions made on the basis of them, or for indirect or consequential loss.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, and the courts of Tel Aviv have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer in another country, this does not remove protections you have under the mandatory law of the place you live.
