This agreement is between you and Shahin Pirooz, doing business as Emruz ("the publisher"). By installing or using Motiv you agree to it. If you use Motiv for an organization, you agree on its behalf. Buying and managing Premium is also covered by the terms of service.
1. License
The publisher grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Motiv on computers you own or control.
- The free features may be used without charge.
- Premium features require an active subscription and may be used only by its holder, on no more computers than the subscription allows (two unless your plan says otherwise).
- Motiv checks in with emruz.com about once a day to keep Premium on. If it can't, Premium keeps working for a limited time, then pauses until the next successful check-in.
2. Restrictions
Except where the law allows it despite this restriction, you may not:
- copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of Motiv;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it;
- rent, lend, resell, sublicense or redistribute it;
- share subscription IDs beyond your allowed computers;
- remove, disable or work around license checks or other technical limits; or
- use Motiv to break the law or anyone's rights, including privacy and recording laws.
3. Recording and consent
Many places require the consent of everyone in a conversation before it is recorded, and some treat voiceprints as biometric data that needs consent. You are responsible for telling participants, getting any consent the law requires, and following your organization's policies before you record a meeting or save someone's voiceprint.
4. Your data and AI providers
Motiv runs on your computer. The publisher doesn't receive your recordings, transcripts, summaries or meeting details; see the Motiv privacy policy. If you choose a cloud AI provider for summaries or chat, transcript text is sent to that provider under your own agreement with them, and the publisher isn't responsible for their service. AI output can be wrong or incomplete; review it before you rely on it.
5. Open-source components
Parts of Motiv come from Meetily Community Edition (MIT License) and other open-source libraries. Those parts are governed by their own licenses, which this agreement doesn't limit. Their notices are included with the app.
6. Updates
The publisher may release updates that fix, change, add or remove features. Some updates may be needed to keep using Premium or to keep connecting to emruz.com.
7. Ownership and copyright
Motiv is licensed, not sold. Motiv © 2026 Shahin Pirooz, doing business as Emruz. All rights reserved. The publisher and its licensors keep all rights in Motiv, including its code, design, name and logo, except the rights this agreement grants you. Motiv and the Motiv logo are trademarks of the publisher.
Motiv is based on Meetily Community Edition v0.5.0 by Zackriya Solutions, used under the MIT License; that code remains under its license, and its copyright notice is included with the app.
8. No warranty
Motiv is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, the publisher disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and doesn't promise that Motiv will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that recordings or transcripts will be complete or accurate. Keep backups of anything important.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, the publisher isn't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data, profits or business. Total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Motiv in the 12 months before the claim, or $50 if you paid nothing.
10. Termination
This license ends automatically if you breach it. Premium features stop when a subscription ends, is cancelled or is revoked; free features and your existing meetings keep working while this license is in effect. You may end it at any time by uninstalling Motiv.
11. Export and government use
You may not use or export Motiv in breach of US export laws or sanctions. Motiv is commercial computer software; government users receive only the rights in this agreement.
12. Law
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, with disputes resolved in the courts of Santa Clara County, California. If any part is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
