Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 1, 2026
Welcome to WhisperGuide. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and WhisperGuide, Inc. (“WhisperGuide,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your use of the WhisperGuide mobile application, website, content, features, subscriptions, purchases, and related services collectively referred to as the “Service.”
By creating an account, downloading the app, tapping “I Agree,” purchasing access, or using the Service in any way, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use WhisperGuide.
These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, Legal Disclaimer and Safety Notice, Subscription and Purchase Terms, and Account and Data Deletion Policy.
If you have questions about these Terms, email us at support@whisper-guide.com.
1. Who Can Use WhisperGuide
You must be at least 13 years old to use WhisperGuide. If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.
By using WhisperGuide, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are legally permitted to enter into this agreement.
2. Your Account
To use most features of WhisperGuide, you may need to create an account. You agree to:
provide accurate and complete information when signing up;
keep your password and login credentials secure;
not share your account with others;
take responsibility for activity under your account;
notify us promptly at support@whisper-guide.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
You may delete your account through the in-app account deletion feature or by following the instructions in our Account and Data Deletion Policy.
Deleting the app from your device does not automatically delete your account or cancel any subscription purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play.
3. How WhisperGuide Works
WhisperGuide is a location-based audio storytelling app. The Service may allow users to:
select story categories, including History, Architecture, Culture, Food & Drink, Nature, and Legends;
use device location to discover nearby points of interest;
read AI-generated story cards;
listen to AI-generated audio stories;
explore places freely on a map;
follow themed routes where available;
save or favorite selected places or routes.
Features, categories, content, routes, pricing, and availability may change over time.
WhisperGuide is intended for casual walking exploration and entertainment. It is not an official guide, navigation system, safety tool, emergency service, or professional advice service.
4. AI-Generated Content
WhisperGuide uses artificial intelligence and related technologies to generate, assist, or support storytelling content, including written stories, descriptions, recommendations, routes, and audio narration.
Because content may be generated by AI or based on third-party or publicly available information:
stories may contain inaccuracies, omissions, fictionalized elements, outdated information, or unverified details;
names, dates, descriptions, business details, historical details, cultural interpretations, accessibility information, directions, and hours of operation may be incorrect;
stories may include folklore, legends, rumors, local traditions, or narrative elements presented for storytelling purposes;
content should be enjoyed as informational and entertainment content, not as authoritative reference material.
WhisperGuide is not an official source of historical, cultural, travel, safety, legal, medical, emergency, accessibility, navigation, or business information.
You should independently verify important information before relying on it.
We welcome correction requests or feedback at support@whisper-guide.com, but we do not guarantee that any correction will be made.
5. Safety and User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your own safety, surroundings, travel decisions, route choices, and actions while using WhisperGuide.
You agree to:
stay aware of your surroundings;
obey all laws, traffic rules, posted signs, and official instructions;
respect private property, restricted areas, business rules, and access limitations;
use reasonable judgment before visiting or entering any location;
verify hours, access, safety conditions, fees, accessibility, transit information, and other practical details independently;
avoid using the app in a way that distracts you while walking, biking, driving, crossing streets, or doing anything that requires attention.
WhisperGuide is not designed or intended for use while driving or operating any vehicle. Do not use the app while driving unless you are parked or the app is being operated safely and legally by a passenger or through permitted hands-free use.
Do not trespass, enter unsafe areas, ignore posted warnings, or rely on WhisperGuide for emergency, safety, navigation, crime, weather, health, legal, or official instructions.
6. Free Access, Passes, Subscriptions, and Payment
WhisperGuide may offer free access, day passes, subscriptions, promotional access, or other paid features.
At launch, WhisperGuide may offer:
Free access to a limited number of story experiences and 1 free route;
1-Day Pass;
3-Day Pass;
7-Day Pass;
Monthly Subscription.
The exact pricing, access period, features, limitations, and renewal terms will be shown in the app or on the purchase screen before you complete a purchase.
Free access does not require a payment method and does not automatically convert into a paid subscription.
Day passes are one-time purchases and do not automatically renew.
The Monthly Subscription is an auto-renewing subscription. It renews automatically unless canceled through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings before the renewal deadline shown by the applicable store.
All purchases are processed by Apple App Store, Google Play, or another authorized payment provider. WhisperGuide does not receive or store your full payment card details.
Cancellation of a subscription stops future renewals but does not usually provide a refund for the current billing period. You will generally keep access until the end of the period already paid for, subject to Apple, Google, or applicable payment platform rules.
Refunds are handled by Apple, Google, or the applicable payment provider according to their policies and applicable law. WhisperGuide cannot directly issue refunds for purchases processed by Apple App Store or Google Play.
We may change prices or available plans from time to time. Price changes for auto-renewing subscriptions will be handled according to the rules of the applicable app store or payment provider.
Additional details are available in our Subscription and Purchase Terms.
