Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-22

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the TLexDR newsletter and website at tlexdr.com. By creating an account, subscribing to the newsletter, or otherwise using TLexDR, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

1. What TLexDR is

TLexDR is a newsletter and web application that summarizes episodes of the Lex Fridman Podcast using automated tools (transcription and large-language models). Summaries are commentary and analysis — they are not the original podcast content. The Lex Fridman Podcast and its content are the property of their respective owners. TLexDR is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Lex Fridman Podcast.

2. Accounts

You may use parts of TLexDR without an account. To access paid features, you must create an account and provide accurate information. You're responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Scrape, copy, or redistribute TLexDR summaries at scale (you can share individual summaries non-commercially).
  • Resell access to the service.
  • Use the service to harass other users or send unsolicited mail.
  • Attempt to bypass access controls, rate limits, or paywalls.
  • Use the service in violation of any applicable law.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the service or its underlying infrastructure.

We may terminate or suspend accounts that violate these rules. For severe violations, we may do so without prior notice.

4. Subscriptions and billing

Pricing

Current pricing is shown on the Pricing page. Prices are in US dollars unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to change pricing for new subscriptions; existing subscribers receive at least 30 days' notice before any price change affects them.

Recurring billing

Paid plans renew automatically (monthly or annually, depending on your chosen cadence) until you cancel. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on each renewal date.

Cancellation

You can cancel at any time from your account page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access until then. We don't pro-rate refunds for partial periods.

Refunds

Because access is granted immediately upon subscription, we generally do not offer refunds for partial periods. Within 7 days of your first payment, you may request a full refund by emailing support@tlexdr.com if you have not substantially used the service. We honor refunds that are required by applicable consumer-protection law.

Failed payments

If a payment fails, we'll attempt to retry it for up to 14 days. During this period your access may continue. After 14 days without successful payment, your account reverts to the free tier.

5. Intellectual property

TLexDR's name, branding, software, and the structure of the summaries we produce are our property. The underlying podcast content (audio, video, words spoken by guests) remains the property of its respective owners. Our summaries are original commentary protected by copyright.

You may share individual summaries with attribution and a link back to the source episode page on TLexDR. You may not republish summaries at scale, scrape the site, or train other machine-learning models on our output without our written permission.

6. User content

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or other communications to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback to improve the service. We won't share your feedback publicly in a way that personally identifies you without your consent.

7. Service availability and "as is"

We work to keep the service reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. The service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Summaries are generated automatically and may contain errors, omissions, or interpretations we don't endorse. TLexDR is not a source of medical, legal, financial, psychological, or professional advice. Always consult qualified professionals for important decisions.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TLexDR's total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $100. We're not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.

9. Termination

You can stop using TLexDR and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if we're required to by law, or if we cease operating the service. On termination, sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (e.g., intellectual property, limitation of liability, dispute resolution) will survive.

10. Disputes and governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and TLexDR consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Nothing in this section affects rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced via email to registered users at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
