Legal

Licence.

What you may do with a Tonestatic plugin once you have bought it. This is the licence (EULA) shown when you install.

What you get

A personal, non-exclusive, perpetual licence to install and use the plugin you bought. Tonestatic Alpine covers Alpine and the four module plugins (Artifact, Modulation, Delay and Reverb); Tonestatic Grains and Tonestatic Steps each cover that plugin; the Tonestatic Bundle, which is no longer sold, covers Alpine, the four modules and Grains; a module bought on its own covers that one plugin.

You may activate one licence on up to 3 computers that you use. To move one to a new computer, deactivate it in the plugin on the old one, or write to us if that computer is gone.

Your music is yours

Anything you record, mix or release with the plugins belongs to you, commercially or not, with no royalties and no credit required. The factory presets may be used the same way.

What you may not do

Share, sell or publish your licence key or the installers; rent or lend the plugins; or remove or work around the licence check. You may not decompile or reverse-engineer the plugins, except where the law allows it regardless of this licence.

Selling your licence on

You may transfer your licence to someone else once. Write to help@tonestatic.com from the email address you bought with; we move it to the new owner and deactivate it on your computers, and you must uninstall the plugins from them. A computer that is offline keeps it until its next successful check-in.

Updates

Updates are free, and this licence covers them.

Ending the licence

The licence ends if you break these terms, or if the purchase of it is refunded in full. You must then uninstall the plugins. A partial refund - money back on a licence you keep - does not end it.

Warranty and liability

We make the plugins with care and test them before every release, but no software is free of faults: keep backups of your projects. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses such as lost work or lost income. Nothing in this licence limits your statutory rights as a consumer, or our liability where the law does not allow it to be limited.

Third-party software

The plugins include open-source software by other authors - among them Steinberg's VST3 SDK, Apple's AudioUnitSDK, libraries that come with JUCE, React and the Urbanist font - each used under its own licence. Those licences, in full, are in the third-party notices, which also come with every installer.
