Licence, refunds and privacy

Three things, written to be read: what you get when you buy, how a refund works, and what data is held about you. No clause here takes away a right you have as a consumer under the law of your own country.

One person, and a payment processor

// Licence

What you are buying

A licence to use the software. Not a subscription, not access to the source, and not something that expires. Buy it once and it keeps working.

  1. 1 · Two activations, tied to your Macs

    One licence carries two activations. Each is locked to one Mac through its hardware UUID, which you read in the app and paste into the activation form yourself. Use it for any work, commercial included — there is no per-project, per-album or per-release fee, and nothing to report back.

  2. 2 · Perpetual within a major version

    Every update inside the version you bought is free: download the newest disk image and it runs on the licence you already have, with nothing to re-activate. A future major version would be a paid upgrade, and the version you bought carries on working regardless of whether you take it.

  3. 3 · Changing machines

    When a Mac is replaced, sold or dies, write to support and the old activation is released — you do not buy the software a second time. The application never contacts a server to check anything: the licence is verified offline against a file in ~/Library/Application Support, so it also keeps working on a machine that is kept off the network.

  4. 4 · What is not allowed

    Don't pass your licence on to someone else, and don't publish patched or re-packaged copies of the application. That is the whole list. Lending a session to a colleague at your desk, installing on your own laptop as the second activation, keeping a copy on an offline machine — all fine.

  5. 5 · The demo, and what it holds back

    Both demos are the whole application with no time limit. In Finito, saving the project and every export stay locked until you activate; nothing is watermarked and no audio is altered. In AcuRate, a 0.4-second mute is placed every 10 seconds on playback and on rendered files, so the quality is fully audible but the output is not usable for delivery; nothing is embedded in the file itself.

  6. 6 · Open-source components

    Finito includes libsoxr and SSRC 1.33 (GNU LGPL-2.1) and r8brain-free-src (MIT). Their full licence texts ship inside the application, in Contents/Resources/Licenses, and source for the LGPL components is available on request. Nothing on this page limits the rights those licences give you.

  7. 7 · Delivered as it is

    The software is supplied as it is, and it sits in the middle of a delivery chain: keep your own backups of source material and finished masters, and check a master before it ships — that is ordinary practice and the applications are built to let you do it. My liability is limited to the amount you paid. If the software does not do what this site says it does, that is not a matter for small print; see refunds below.

  8. 8 · Law

    The licence is governed by Slovak law. Your statutory rights as a consumer in your own country are not affected by anything written here.
