License Agreement

This license agreement concerns and describes your rights and the conditions upon which you may use the FabFilter software you selected. We advise you to read this entire agreement. By accepting this agreement or by using FabFilter software, you agree to all of these terms. If you do not accept and comply with these terms, you may not use the FabFilter software or its features.

Applicability

This license agreement applies to all the FabFilter software, plug-ins and programs you may use during the Evaluation period, and/or thereafter subject to an acquired license key to certain FabFilter software of any version, including any and all upgrades, supplements or services, unless other terms come with such versions, upgrades or supplements.

Licenses

The FabFilter software will be licensed to the Customer, not sold. After full payment you will be granted a FabFilter license key, which will give you the right to install, run and use the FabFilter software under the given conditions. These conditions vary subject to the license you acquired. FabFilter distinguishes the following licenses to FabFilter software ('the software'):
A Personal License is a named license to the software concerned granting the designated person who acquired the FabFilter license key access to the software on three (3) devices. Usage of the Personal License by someone else other than the designated licensee is an infringement of the rights of FabFilter. The Customer should at all times protect its license key from theft and/or abuse.
A Site License is a non-personal license to the FabFilter software concerned, granting the designated institution or other legal entity that acquired the FabFilter license key access to the software. A Site License will grant access to the software on the maximum number of designated Devices, specified in the license key itself (e.g. "20 seats"). If the Site License is used on computers/servers for any form of automated processing, the licensee may not make any plug-in controls/parameters of the FabFilter software available to the end users of the FabFilter software, i.e. only "black box" processing is allowed.
These FabFilter licenses, whether a Personal or Site License, will give you access to certain FabFilter software of the specified major version. The license will include all future minor updates to the software (e.g. version 2.19 to version 2.20), which typically include bug fixes or small new features. The license will exclude any future new major versions of the products (e.g. version 1.x to version 2.x). To allow yourself access to such new major version of the software, a new FabFilter license to such major version must be acquired.
All FabFilter licenses, both Personal or Site License, give the Customer or end user the right to install and use the FabFilter software to the extent it has been developed and under the conditions herein. Any rights not explicitly granted to you, the Customer, remain with FabFilter, including but not limited to the right to alter, reverse engineer, reverse compile, take apart, or disassemble the FabFilter software or any of the files in the distribution.
A Bundle License is Personal or Site License for multiple FabFilter software products, which gives the Customer or end user the right to install and use the specific software products that the bundle (e.g. Total Bundle) contains at the moment of purchasing the Bundle License. Any software products or new major software versions added to the bundle after that date cannot be claimed as part of the prior acquired Bundle License. A Bundle License (if not Educational or NFR) can only be transferred as a whole, using a License Transfer.
An Upgrade License is a Personal or Site License for a new major version of FabFilter software. You may only use an Upgrade License if you have a license for the previous major version of the same FabFilter software.

Duration and Evaluation

As specified in the specific terms per license, all licenses will be granted in perpetuity (meaning that the license agreement shall not automatically expire at any moment in time), however the license may be cancelled if not all conditions herein are respected.
To verify the correct use and compliance with our terms and conditions we have created the option for the FabFilter software to contact our FabFilter web server periodically. With this verification we collect certain data (device ID, device name and identifier of the license key) to check the validity of the use of the registered license on the identified device. If such use appears not to be compliant with our terms, further access to the FabFilter Software will be denied.
The Evaluation period is a period of thirty (30) days commencing on the first day of using the software concerned and automatically expiring 30 days thereafter. After the Evaluation period has expired and no FabFilter license key has been acquired, the software will stop working and should be removed from your computer.
In addition to any and all such possibilities that FabFilter may have in accordance with the law, FabFilter may terminate without prior notice or warning in case of abuse of the FabFilter software or fraud, as well as in case of your (personal) bankruptcy.
