Baston Apps Karaoke Mic

Terms of Use

Karaoke Mic · Effective 31 July 2026

1. Parties and contact

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Baston Apps ("we", "us", "our"), an independent software developer established in Türkiye, governing your use of the Karaoke Mic application for iOS (the "Application").

Notices and enquiries may be sent to support@bastonapps.com.

2. Acceptance and eligibility

By downloading, installing, or using the Application you accept these Terms in full. If you do not accept them, do not use the Application and delete it from your device.

You must be at least 13 years old, or at least 16 if you are in the European Economic Area, to use the Application. If you are below the age of majority where you live, you confirm that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

3. Relationship to Apple's agreements

The Application is licensed, not sold, and is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA") applies to your use of the Application. These Terms are supplementary to the Apple EULA. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA, the Apple EULA prevails.

These Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Application or its contents, save as set out in these Terms and the Apple EULA.

4. Licence

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use the Application on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

You may not, and may not permit any third party to:

  1. copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Application, except as permitted by mandatory applicable law;
  2. reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Application, or otherwise attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent that such restriction is prohibited by mandatory applicable law;
  3. rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Application;
  4. circumvent, disable, or interfere with any access control, entitlement check, or other technical measure that restricts features to paying subscribers;
  5. use the Application in any manner that violates applicable law or infringes the rights of any third party.

5. Description of the Application

The Application captures audio from your device's microphone, processes it in real time, and plays it back through an audio output that you select, such as a Bluetooth speaker, an AirPlay device, wired headphones, or the device's own speaker. It offers a selection of processed voice characters, a level control, a noise gate, and an indication when acoustic feedback is detected.

The Application does not record, store, or transmit audio. It does not supply songs, backing tracks, or lyrics. Audio played by other applications continues while the Application is in use and is combined with your microphone signal by iOS; the Application has no access to that audio.

The microphone is active only while the Application is in the foreground. The Application does not use background audio, and the audio session ends when the Application is backgrounded or the device is locked.

6. Premium subscription

The Application may be used without payment. Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks additional voice characters, enhanced echo reduction and microphone modes, and removes advertising.

The plans available to you, their duration, whether any introductory or free trial period applies to you, and the price in your local currency are displayed in the Application before purchase. No amount is charged without your confirmation.

Auto-renewing subscriptions purchased through the App Store operate as follows:

  1. payment is charged to your Apple Account upon confirmation of purchase;
  2. the subscription renews automatically for a further period of the same length unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period;
  3. your Apple Account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours preceding the end of the current period, at the price then applicable to your plan;
  4. you may view, manage, and cancel your subscription, including turning off auto-renewal, in your Apple Account settings; deleting the Application does not cancel a subscription;
  5. where a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited if you purchase a subscription before the trial period ends;
  6. free trials and introductory offers are available only to customers Apple determines to be eligible, and eligibility is generally limited to one per subscription group per Apple Account.

Purchases are made from Apple. Billing, payment, and refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's terms and policies, and we are not able to process refunds on Apple's behalf. If you consider a refund is due, you should request it from Apple. Where the difficulty is one we are able to resolve, you are welcome to contact us first.

Prices may change. Where required by Apple or applicable law, you will be notified of a price increase and given the opportunity to cancel before it takes effect.

Where a subscription expires or is cancelled, the additional voice characters, enhanced echo reduction, and microphone modes cease to be available, and advertising resumes. Settings stored on your device are retained.

7. Restoring a purchase

A subscription is associated with the Apple Account used to purchase it, not with a device. If you reinstall the Application or move to another device, use Restore purchases in the Application's settings, or Restore on the subscription screen, while signed in with that Apple Account. A subscription cannot be transferred between Apple Accounts.

8. Advertising

Where you do not hold an active Premium subscription, the Application displays advertising supplied by Google AdMob. Depending on your jurisdiction and your responses to the App Tracking Transparency prompt and, where applicable, the consent form presented under Google's certified consent management platform, advertising may be personalised or non-personalised. Our Privacy Policy describes the associated processing of personal data.

9. Hearing, volume, and equipment

The Application amplifies live microphone input through loudspeakers and is capable of producing sudden and very loud sound, including acoustic feedback. Acoustic feedback occurs when a microphone captures the output of the speaker it is feeding. The Application includes a noise gate and an indication when feedback is detected, but these are assistive measures only and are not guaranteed to prevent loud output.

You are solely responsible for the output level you select, for the audio equipment you connect, and for the environment and manner in which you use the Application, including where other persons are present. Exposure to loud sound can cause permanent hearing damage. You assume all risk arising from your use of the Application at any volume. Guidance on reducing feedback is available on our support page and does not form part of these Terms.

10. Your content and third-party material

You are solely responsible for any material you perform, play, or transmit while using the Application, and for obtaining any licence, permission, or clearance required to do so, including where a performance is public or is combined with recorded music played from another application or device.

11. Intellectual property

The Application, including its software, design, audio processing, artwork, and the Baston Apps and Karaoke Mic names, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the licence granted in clause 4, no right, title, or interest is transferred to you.

12. Maintenance and support

We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services in respect of the Application, as specified in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services in respect of the Application.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Application is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Application will be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with any particular audio device, or free of latency.

Bluetooth audio introduces a delay between the microphone and the speaker. This is a characteristic of Bluetooth audio transmission, varies by device and codec, and is not a defect in the Application.

In the event of any failure of the Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the Application to you, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Application, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Application, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Application shall not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to Apple for the Application and any subscription in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the liability, or ten euros (€10).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

15. Consumer rights

Where you use the Application as a consumer, you benefit from mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you reside. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer to rely on those mandatory provisions, including, for residents of Türkiye, rights under the Law on Consumer Protection No. 6502, and, for residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, statutory rights in respect of digital content and services.

16. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Application, or your infringement of the rights of a third party. This clause does not apply to the extent that a claim arises from our own breach or negligence.

17. Product claims

We, and not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Application or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.

18. Intellectual property claims

In the event of any third-party claim that the Application or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, and not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.

19. Legal compliance

You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a government embargo, or that has been designated by a government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when using the Application.

20. Third-party beneficiary

You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right, and will be deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

21. Changes to the Application and to these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Application or any of its features at any time. Features that depend on your device, your audio equipment, or third-party services may not be available at all times.

We may amend these Terms where reasonably necessary, including to reflect changes to the Application or to applicable law. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated, and material changes will be identified in the Application's App Store release notes. Continued use of the Application after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms. If you do not accept them, you should stop using the Application and may cancel any subscription through your Apple Account.

22. Term and termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Application. The licence granted in clause 4 terminates automatically if you materially breach these Terms. You may terminate at any time by ceasing use and deleting the Application; deleting the Application does not cancel a subscription, which must be cancelled through your Apple Account. Clauses 11, 13 to 20, and 23 survive termination.

23. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The courts and execution offices of Istanbul, Türkiye shall have jurisdiction over any dispute.

Where you use the Application as a consumer resident outside Türkiye, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence, nor of the right to bring proceedings before the courts of that country where applicable law so provides.

24. General

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary, or severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the Application or of our business. These Terms, together with the Apple EULA and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in respect of the Application.
