Terms of Service

Effective date: August 18, 2026

Dial Flipper is made by Dial Media, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. These terms are the agreement between you and us for using the Dial Flipper app and the dialflipper.com website.

By using Dial Flipper you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the app. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why, and it is part of this agreement.

We have tried to write this in plain language. If anything here is unclear, email us at hello@dialflipper.com.

Who can use Dial Flipper

You need to be at least 13 years old. Dial Flipper is currently available in the United States.

You are responsible for what happens under your account, including anything done by someone else using your device. Please keep your device and your Apple or Google sign-in secure.

Your account

Dial Flipper creates an account for you automatically when you first open the app, so you can start listening right away without signing up. That account is what remembers your listening history, the shows you follow, and where you left off in an episode. It is also what lets Dial Flipper get better at picking what to play you next, since the recommendations are built from what you actually listen to.

Linking an Apple or Google account keeps all of that if you switch phones or reinstall the app. Without it, you could lose that history.

You can delete your account at any time from Settings in the app.

Podcasts and other content

Dial Flipper helps you find and play podcasts made by other people. We do not create, own, produce, or control those podcasts, and we do not host the audio. When you play an episode, it comes from the publisher's own servers.

That means a few things worth being clear about:

  • Podcast creators are responsible for their own content, including its accuracy, its opinions, and any claims made in it. We are not.
  • You may come across content you find inaccurate, offensive, or objectionable. Podcasts cover politics, crime, health, religion and much else, and we do not review episodes before they appear in Dial Flipper.
  • Nothing in a podcast is advice from us. That includes anything that sounds like medical, legal, financial or professional advice. Talk to a qualified professional instead.
  • Shows come and go. Publishers can change, move, or remove their podcasts at any time, and episodes may stop working or disappear from Dial Flipper as a result. We cannot promise any particular show or episode will stay available.

Dial Flipper is for your own personal listening. The podcasts you hear are protected by copyright owned by their creators, and these terms do not give you any rights to that content beyond listening to it in the app.

What belongs to us

Dial Flipper, including the app, its design, its name and logo, and everything in it that we made, belongs to Dial Media, LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Using Dial Flipper does not give you any ownership of it.

We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive license to use Dial Flipper for your own listening, on devices you own or control, for as long as you follow these terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of it.

What you agree not to do

Please do not:

  • use Dial Flipper for anything illegal, or to harm or harass anyone;
  • copy, download, record, redistribute, or republish podcast audio or artwork from the app;
  • scrape, crawl, or bulk-collect data from Dial Flipper, or use bots or automated tools against it;
  • reverse engineer the app, or try to get at our source code, keys, or systems;
  • try to break, overload, or get unauthorized access to Dial Flipper or the services it runs on;
  • work around any limit, restriction, or security measure we put in place; or
  • resell or commercially redistribute access to Dial Flipper.

If you do any of this, we may suspend or close your account.

Feedback you send us

If you send us feedback, ideas, or suggestions, we can use them freely to improve Dial Flipper without owing you payment or keeping them confidential. You keep any rights you have in your own ideas. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential or that belongs to someone else.

If Dial Flipper ever charges

Dial Flipper is free today. If we introduce paid features or subscriptions later, we will tell you what the price is and what it includes before you are charged, and nothing you already have access to will start costing money without your agreement.

Any purchase made through the App Store is handled by Apple under Apple's terms, including billing, renewals, and refunds.

The app is provided as is

Dial Flipper is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not promise that the app will always work, that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that any particular podcast will be available, or that it will meet your expectations. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of your use of Dial Flipper.

Our total liability to you for any claim relating to Dial Flipper is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Because Dial Flipper is currently free, that amount may be zero.

Some states do not allow certain warranty disclaimers or limits on liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Indemnification

If someone brings a claim against us because of how you used Dial Flipper, or because you broke these terms or the law, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, including legal fees. We will tell you promptly if that happens and you can help defend the claim.

Apple and the App Store

These terms are between you and Dial Media, LLC only. Apple is not a party to them.

  • Apple is not responsible for Dial Flipper or its content, and has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for it. If you need help, contact us at hello@dialflipper.com.
  • Your license to use Dial Flipper is a non-transferable license to run it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  • If Dial Flipper fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price if you paid one. Apple has no other warranty obligation for Dial Flipper.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claim about Dial Flipper, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal requirement, and claims under consumer protection or privacy law.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any claim that Dial Flipper infringes someone's intellectual property.
  • You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must follow any applicable third-party terms when using Dial Flipper.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and Apple has the right to enforce them against you.

Copyright

Podcasts appear in Dial Flipper because their publishers distribute them through public RSS feeds, the same way they appear in other podcast apps. Publishers control that distribution at the source, through their own feed and hosting settings.

If you believe material in Dial Flipper infringes your copyright, you can send a notice to our designated agent.

What a notice needs to include. To be effective, your notice must contain:

  1. your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed;
  3. identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it in Dial Flipper;
  4. your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
  5. a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

When we receive a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the material.

If we got it wrong. If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send our agent a counter-notification containing:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the material and where it appeared before it was removed;
  3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
  4. your name, address and telephone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you live, or any district where we may be found if you are outside the United States, and a statement that you will accept service of process from whoever sent the original notice.

We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after receiving a valid counter-notification, unless the original sender tells us they have filed a court action.

Repeat infringers. We will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

One caution. Under section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees.

Ending your account

You can stop using Dial Flipper at any time and delete your account from Settings in the app.

We can suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if we need to protect Dial Flipper or other people, or if we are required to by law. We may also stop offering Dial Flipper, or any part of it, at any time.

The sections on podcast content, feedback, warranties, liability, indemnification and governing law continue to apply after your account ends.

Changes to Dial Flipper and to these terms

We are actively building Dial Flipper, so features will change, appear, and sometimes disappear.

We may update these terms too. We will post the updated version with a new effective date at the top, and continuing to use Dial Flipper after that means you accept the change. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will make a reasonable effort to tell you before it takes effect.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee, and you and we both agree to that jurisdiction.

If something goes wrong, please email us at hello@dialflipper.com first. Most problems are quicker to fix that way than through a court.

General

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about Dial Flipper.

If we do not enforce part of these terms right away, that does not mean we have given up the right to enforce it later.

You may not transfer your rights under these terms to someone else. We may transfer ours, for example if Dial Media, LLC is acquired or reorganized.
