Terms of Use

Who this is between

Rote is published by ZX Capital LLC. These terms are the agreement between you and ZX Capital LLC. Using the app means you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.

What Rote is

Rote plays one recorded affirmation on a loop, for a length you choose, with a pause you choose between repetitions. You can loop tracks from the catalog or record your own voice and loop that.

The catalog is recorded by Zachary Hogan, Certified Hypnotist (American Alliance of Hypnotists) and Certified NLP Master Practitioner (American Union of NLP).

What Rote is not

Rote is a self-improvement app. It is not medical advice, a medical device or treatment.

ALL INFORMATION IN THE ROTE APP AND ON THIS WEBSITE IS FOR YOUR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED BY YOU AS MEDICAL ADVICE OR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING A MEDICAL CONDITION.

ROTE DOES NOT DIAGNOSE OR CURE DISEASE. IT IS A SELF-IMPROVEMENT PRODUCT INTENDED TO BE USED AS A COMPLEMENTARY PRACTICE. USE AS INSTRUCTED, AND IF YOU REQUIRE MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT, SEE A DOCTOR.

Do not listen to a session while driving or operating machinery. Rote is for sitting still, lying down or falling asleep.

What is free, and stays free

Recording your own voice: unlimited, any length, any number of recordings.

Looping: unlimited, every timer, plus the sleep timer, the fade out and background playback.

One full catalog track, permanently, and a 60 second preview of every other track, always.

None of that needs a card and none of it expires.

The subscription

Rote Premium includes the rest of the catalog in full, plus every new pack released while your subscription is active.

Rote Premium Annual is $69.99 a year and starts with a 14 day free trial.

Rote Premium Monthly is $12.99 a month and has no trial.

During the launch window there is a Founding Annual at $49.99 a year, with the same 14 day free trial. It stays $49.99 for as long as you keep the subscription. After the window, the annual price is $69.99.

There is no weekly plan and no lifetime plan.

Prices are in US dollars. In other countries Apple sets the local price, so the amount you are shown can differ.

Auto renewal, and how to cancel

Subscriptions renew automatically. Apple charges your Apple Account within 24 hours before the current period ends, at the price of the plan you are on, unless you cancel first.

Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends, or the next period is charged. Cancelling stops the next charge. It does not shorten the period you have already paid for, and you keep access until it runs out.

To cancel: open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, tap Rote, then Cancel Subscription. You can do it at any time and you do not have to ask anyone.

If you are in a free trial and you cancel before it ends, you are not charged. Starting a paid subscription while a trial is running ends the unused part of the trial.

Billing and refunds

Every purchase inside the app goes through Apple's in-app purchase system. That is the only way to buy a subscription in Rote.

Apple processes payment, issues the receipt and decides App Store refund requests. Rote does not receive your payment details.

New packs

The plan is a new pack every month while you are subscribed. Packs are released through App Review, and App Review's calendar is not ours, so no specific date is promised.

The catalog can change. Tracks may be re-recorded, renamed or retired.

Your recordings are yours

Anything you record in Rote belongs to you. ZX Capital LLC claims no rights over it.

Recordings live on your iPhone. If you delete the app or lose the phone, they are gone unless you have a backup. Keep your own copy of anything that matters.

The catalog is not yours

The catalog tracks, the writing, the artwork and the Rote name remain the property of ZX Capital LLC. A subscription buys you a personal, non transferable licence to listen inside the app for as long as it is active.

Do not extract, copy, re-upload, resell, sample or publish the tracks, and do not include them in anything else. Do not attempt to work around the paywall or take the app apart.

Availability, and the limits

Rote is provided as available and may be changed, interrupted or discontinued. Continuous, error-free operation is not guaranteed.

As far as the law allows, ZX Capital LLC is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing here removes rights you have under the consumer law of your own country, which in many places cannot be signed away.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, in the United States, where ZX Capital LLC is registered. Any dispute belongs to the state or federal courts sitting in Texas.

Mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live remain in effect.

Changes to these terms

Material changes will be posted here before they take effect. Continuing to use Rote after the effective date means you accept the updated terms.
