2. Recording Obligations
You are responsible for ensuring that you are legally entitled to record any conversation you record using the Application.
Laws governing the recording of conversations vary by jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions require the consent of only one participant; others require the consent of all participants. The Service Provider does not determine your location or the identity of other participants and makes no assessment of the lawfulness of any recording.
