Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2026

1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the HypnoVox platform ("Service"), operated by HypnoVox ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and the Data Processing Agreement.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service. We recommend that you read these Terms carefully before using HypnoVox.

2. Description of Service

HypnoVox is a business-to-business software-as-a-service (B2B SaaS) platform designed for qualified hypnotherapists and allied therapy professionals ("qualified practitioners"), meaning individuals who hold recognised professional qualifications, accreditations, or registrations to practise hypnotherapy or allied therapy in their jurisdiction. The Service provides:

  • Audio recording of therapy sessions directly within the platform.
  • Secure cloud storage of session recordings via encrypted infrastructure.
  • Controlled sharing of recordings with clients through time-limited, tokenised links.
  • Client management tools for organising session records.
  • A library feature for uploading and sharing therapeutic audio resources with clients.

The Service is intended solely for use in the context of legitimate therapeutic practice. It is not intended for general audio recording, entertainment, or any purpose unrelated to professional therapy.

Geographic availability: The Service is currently available to therapists practising in the United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, and New Zealand. We do not currently offer the Service to users in other jurisdictions.

3. Account Responsibilities

When you register for an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities conducted under your account.

As a therapist using HypnoVox, you are the data controller under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 in respect of any personal data you collect, store, or process through the Service. This includes all client information and session recordings.

You must notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security.

4. Payment Terms

Access to the Service is subject to the fees set out on our pricing page, as may be updated from time to time with reasonable notice.

During the beta period, access to the Service is provided free of charge to invited therapists. We reserve the right to introduce subscription fees upon the conclusion of the beta period, with at least 30 days' prior written notice.

Where subscription fees apply, the following terms shall govern:

  • Fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, as selected at signup.
  • Payment is processed via our third-party payment provider. You agree to maintain valid payment details for the duration of your subscription.
  • Overdue amounts may accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
  • We may suspend access to the Service if payment remains outstanding for more than 14 days after the due date.
  • Refunds are not generally provided. In the event of account termination by us without cause, a pro-rata refund for unused subscription time will be issued.

5. Therapist Obligations

As a user of the Service, you acknowledge and agree to the following obligations:

5.1 Client Consent

You must obtain explicit, informed consent from every client before recording any therapy session. This consent must comply with applicable data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR, and must be documented in a manner that can be evidenced if required. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that valid consent is in place before using the recording features of the Service.

5.2 GDPR Compliance

As the data controller, you are responsible for complying with all obligations under the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR (where applicable), including but not limited to: maintaining a lawful basis for processing, responding to data subject access requests, conducting data protection impact assessments where appropriate, and maintaining records of processing activities.

5.3 Professional Qualifications

You represent and warrant that you hold appropriate professional qualifications, accreditations, or registrations required to practise hypnotherapy or allied therapy in your jurisdiction. You agree to maintain such qualifications throughout your use of the Service.

5.4 Permitted Use

You shall use the Service exclusively for the purposes of legitimate therapeutic practice. You must not use the Service to record, store, or share audio for any purpose outside of professional therapy, including but not limited to surveillance, harassment, or any unlawful activity.

6. Data Processing Relationship

In providing the Service, HypnoVox acts as a data processor on your behalf. We process personal data (including audio recordings and client information) only in accordance with your instructions and for the purpose of delivering the Service.

The specific terms governing our data processing activities are set out in our Data Processing Agreement (DPA), which is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms. The DPA details the categories of data processed, the purposes of processing, our security measures, sub-processor arrangements, and the rights and obligations of both parties.

By using the Service, you agree to the terms of the DPA.

7. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
  • Upload, record, or share content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, other user accounts, or our underlying systems and infrastructure.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any aspect of the Service.
  • Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access or interact with the Service without our prior written consent.
  • Share your account credentials with third parties or allow others to access the Service through your account.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate this acceptable use policy without prior notice.

8. Intellectual Property

Your content: You retain full ownership of all recordings, client data, and other content you create or upload through the Service ("Your Content"). HypnoVox does not claim any intellectual property rights over Your Content.

By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, store, and transmit Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. This licence terminates when you delete Your Content or close your account.

Our platform: The HypnoVox name, logo, website, application, and all related software, designs, and documentation are the intellectual property of HypnoVox. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our branding or intellectual property except as necessary to use the Service.

9. Service Availability and Limitations

We endeavour to maintain the availability of the Service at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The Service may be subject to temporary downtime for maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with reasonable notice where practicable. In the event of a planned discontinuation of the Service, we will provide reasonable notice to allow you to export your data.

Audio recording quality and functionality may vary depending on your device, browser, and network conditions. HypnoVox is not responsible for failures in recording caused by client-side hardware or software limitations.

Force majeure: Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, government actions, power failures, internet or telecommunications failures, or denial-of-service attacks.

10. Warranties and Disclaimers

Your warranties: By using the Service, you warrant that all recordings and content you create, upload, or share through HypnoVox comply with applicable laws, including data protection legislation and requirements for client consent.

Service disclaimer: The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we make no warranties or representations, whether express or implied, regarding the Service, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components, nor do we make any warranties regarding audio recording quality, storage availability, or specific uptime levels. You acknowledge that the Service is a tool to assist your practice and does not replace professional judgement.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, HypnoVox shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of business opportunity, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising under or in connection with these Terms shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to HypnoVox in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:

  • Death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
  • Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
  • Any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

HypnoVox bears no responsibility for the therapeutic outcomes, clinical decisions, or professional conduct of any therapist using the Service.

You may terminate your account at any time through the account settings or by contacting us. Upon termination, you will have a period of 30 days to export your data using the built-in export tools before deletion begins.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms or engage in conduct that we reasonably believe is harmful to the Service, other users, or third parties.

Upon termination of your account (whether by you or by us):

  • All active share links for your recordings will be deactivated.
  • Your recordings and client data will be scheduled for permanent deletion in accordance with our data retention policy and the DPA.
  • Deletion will be completed within 30 days of the export period ending.
  • We will send confirmation of deletion to your registered email address upon completion.

Certain provisions of these Terms shall survive termination, including but not limited to intellectual property, limitation of liability, warranties, and governing law.

13. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice within the Service at least 30 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and close your account.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
