Terms of use

Car Voice for Hermes (Android app com.vantixwealthlabs.carvoice) and the Car Voice bridge. Last updated 18 October 2026.

These terms apply when you install or use Car Voice for Hermes ("the app") and the Car Voice bridge ("the bridge"). Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer.

1. Who we are

The app and the bridge are provided by Vantix Wealth Labs, Industrieweg 9, 2254 AE Voorschoten, The Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce (KvK): 42061959 ("we", "us"). Contact us at support@carvoice.app. All our company details are on the support page.

2. What Car Voice is

The app is a voice front end for Hermes Agent, an AI agent that you install and run yourself. The app records your question, sends it to the bridge on your own machine, shows what Hermes is doing and plays the answer. Car Voice has no assistant of its own and does not work without your Hermes Agent and your bridge. Car Voice is an independent app; it is not made by or affiliated with Nous Research, the makers of Hermes Agent.

3. Your licence to use the app

The app is ours: Copyright (c) 2026 Vantix Wealth Labs. All rights reserved. We give you a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to install the app and use it on Android devices that you own or control, in line with these terms and the terms of Google Play.

You may not copy, sell, rent, lend, sublicense or distribute the app, and you may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except where and as far as the law allows this despite this restriction.

The app contains open-source software from third parties, each under its own licence. The app lists them under Help and about › Open-source licences.

4. The bridge

The bridge and its installer are licensed under the MIT licence, whose text comes with every bridge download (LICENSE). That licence applies to your use of the bridge's software. The bridge is free.

5. Your Hermes, your server and your bridge

• You install, run and manage Hermes Agent, the machine it runs on and the bridge yourself. You are responsible for their configuration and security (keys, access tokens and who can reach the bridge) and for keeping them up to date.
• You choose the services your setup uses, such as the speech recognition service and the text-to-speech service of your bridge, your model provider and Telegram. Their terms and costs apply to you, and you are responsible for them.
• Hermes Agent can act for you with the tools you give it, including running commands. The app passes on your questions and your choices when Hermes asks for permission; what Hermes does is decided by Hermes and its configuration. Check what Hermes asks to do before you allow it.
• If you let Hermes install the bridge with the setup prompt, Hermes runs commands on your machine with administrator rights once you agree to the plan it shows you. Read that plan before you agree.
• Answers come from Hermes and the models it uses and can be wrong. Do not rely on them for decisions about safety, health, money or law.

6. Trial, purchase and refunds

• For 7 days from the first time you open the app, every feature works. After that, a one-time in-app purchase through Google Play unlocks the app. There is no subscription.
• Google Play shows the price before you buy and handles the payment. For payments and refunds, the terms and refund policies of Google Play apply.
• A refunded purchase no longer unlocks the app.

7. Guarantee

The statutory guarantee applies: the app must be in conformity with what was agreed and with what you may reasonably expect of it. If it is not, you have the rights the law gives you.

8. Liability

Our liability for damage caused by the app or the bridge is limited to the amount you paid for the unlock. We are not liable for indirect damage, such as loss of data or profit, or for damage caused by Hermes Agent, your machine, your network or services we do not control.

These limits do not apply to damage caused by our intent or gross negligence, to death or personal injury, or where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.

9. Safe driving

• Car Voice is not an emergency service. In an emergency, call the emergency services (112 in the European Union).
• The traffic rules always come first. Use Car Voice only when it is safe and allowed where you drive; you are responsible for driving safely.
• Set up the app and pair your phone while parked. While driving, use Car Voice hands-free and leave anything you need to read, or that needs your attention on the phone, for when you have stopped.
• Car Voice is not a navigation or safety system.

10. Changes

• We may update the app and the bridge, for example to fix problems, to keep them secure, or to follow changes in Android, Android Auto, Google Play or Hermes Agent.
• We may change these terms when there is a good reason, such as a change to the app, to the law or to the services Car Voice depends on. We publish every change on this page with a new date. We announce important changes on carvoice.app or in the app before they take effect. If you do not agree with a change, you can stop using the app.

11. Ending your use

• You can stop using Car Voice at any time by uninstalling the app, and the bridge by removing it from your machine.
• We may end your licence to the app if you seriously breach these terms, for example by distributing the app. Where that is reasonable, we warn you first.
• Sections 3, 8 and 12 continue to apply after your use ends.

12. Governing law and courts

• Dutch law applies to these terms and to your use of the app and the bridge. If you are a consumer living in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the law of that country (Article 6 of the Rome I Regulation).
• The competent court in the Netherlands decides disputes. If you are a consumer, you may also take a dispute to the courts of the country where you live.
• Please contact us first at support@carvoice.app; we will try to solve the problem together.
