End User License Agreement

Release Candidate 1.0 — Last updated: August 2026

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between the person or entity using the Software ("Licensee", "you", or "your") and Mathieu Bricout ("Author", "we", "us", or "our") governing the installation and use of WaveTag Pro ("Software").

By installing, activating, or using the Software, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, do not install, activate, or use the Software.

Nothing in this Agreement limits any statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

1. Definitions

For the purposes of this Agreement:

"Software" means the WaveTag Pro application, including executable code, user interfaces, bundled documentation, updates, maintenance releases, and related files supplied by the Author.

"License" means the right granted to the Licensee to use the Software subject to this Agreement and to the activation limits and other conditions associated with the purchased licensing plan.

"Licensee" means the individual or legal entity to whom a License is issued.

"Authorized Computer" means a computer on which the License has been validly activated within the activation limit applicable to that License.

"Licensing Service" means the technical service used by the Software to activate, validate, deactivate, and manage Licenses and Authorized Computers.

2. License Grant

Subject to payment of any applicable purchase price and continued compliance with this Agreement, the Author grants the Licensee a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and perpetual right to install and use the Software.

The Licensee may:

  • install and use the Software on the number of Authorized Computers permitted by the purchased License;
  • use the Software for personal, educational, institutional, or professional purposes, as applicable to the purchased licensing plan; and
  • retain reasonable backup copies of the Software for archival or recovery purposes.

The maximum number of simultaneous activations is determined by the License purchased and may vary according to the applicable licensing plan, volume agreement, educational arrangement, or other commercial offer.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, a License issued to a named individual is for that individual's use and may not be shared among multiple unrelated users.

3. Trial Period and Read-Only Mode

The Software may be made available with a time-limited trial period.

During an active trial period, the Software may provide access to all or substantially all features.

When the trial period expires and no valid paid License is activated, the Software may continue to operate in a restricted or read-only mode.

In read-only mode, the Software may allow the Licensee to open, inspect, navigate, and prepare changes to files or settings, while preventing actions that save, export, create, delete, transform, or otherwise write user data to disk.

The precise functionality available during the trial period or in read-only mode may change between Software versions.

4. License Activation and Machine Limits

A paid License requires online activation before licensed functionality is enabled.

The Software may generate a technical machine identifier ("Machine Fingerprint") in order to identify an Authorized Computer.

The Licensee may deactivate the License on an Authorized Computer and activate it on another computer, provided that the maximum number of simultaneous activations associated with the License is not exceeded.

The Licensee is responsible for maintaining control of the License key and must not knowingly disclose it to unauthorized persons.

The Author may implement reasonable technical measures to prevent activation beyond the permitted machine limit or other unauthorized use.

5. Periodic License Validation and Offline Use

After successful activation, the Software is designed to remain usable without a continuous Internet connection.

The Software may periodically contact the Licensing Service to verify that the License remains valid.

If periodic validation cannot be completed because of temporary loss of Internet access, DNS failure, timeout, temporary service outage, or a comparable technical problem, the Software may continue to operate for a grace period determined by the Software's licensing policy.

If the License cannot be successfully validated before the applicable grace period expires, licensed functionality may be restricted and the Software may return to read-only mode until validation succeeds.

A temporary inability to contact the Licensing Service is not, by itself, treated as a revoked License.

Where the Licensing Service explicitly reports that a License is revoked, suspended, invalid, or otherwise no longer authorized, the Software may restrict licensed functionality without waiting for the offline grace period to expire.

6. License Restrictions

Except where expressly permitted by applicable law, the Licensee must not:

  • sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lend, distribute, or commercially transfer the Software or License to a third party;
  • share a personal License key with unauthorized persons;
  • circumvent, disable, interfere with, or attempt to defeat the Software's licensing, activation, validation, or technical protection mechanisms;
  • activate or use the Software on more computers or by more users than permitted by the applicable License;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the Software's source code, except to the limited extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
  • modify or remove copyright, trademark, authorship, or proprietary notices contained in the Software; or
  • use the Software or substantial portions of its implementation to create a substantially competing product through unauthorized copying or extraction of protected elements.

7. Ownership and Intellectual Property

The Software is licensed, not sold.

All right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including copyright, software architecture, user-interface elements, documentation, trademarks, trade names, and other intellectual-property rights, remain with the Author or their respective rights holders.

Except for the limited License expressly granted by this Agreement, no rights are granted to the Licensee by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

8. Purchases, Payment, and Refunds

Purchases may be processed by an authorized merchant of record or payment provider acting under its own applicable checkout, payment, invoicing, tax, and refund terms.

This Agreement governs the right to use the Software. It does not replace mandatory consumer rights or the payment provider's legally applicable transaction terms.

Any refund, cancellation, withdrawal right, chargeback, or similar payment matter is subject to applicable law and the applicable purchase terms.

Where a purchase is refunded, reversed, charged back, or otherwise cancelled, the associated License may be suspended or revoked to the extent permitted by applicable law.

9. License Suspension and Revocation

The Author may suspend or revoke a License where reasonably necessary, including in cases of:

  • fraudulent purchase or payment abuse;
  • completed refund, payment reversal, or chargeback;
  • unauthorized License sharing or resale;
  • deliberate circumvention of activation or technical protection measures; or
  • material breach of this Agreement.

Suspension or revocation does not authorize the Author to access the Licensee's audio files or project content.

Where practical, a revoked or invalid License will cause the Software to fall back to read-only or otherwise restricted functionality rather than prevent access to existing user files.

10. Updates, Upgrades, and Compatibility

The Author may, at their discretion, provide maintenance releases, bug fixes, improvements, security updates, or new features.

A perpetual License does not necessarily include all future major versions of the Software.

Minor updates may be provided without additional charge. Major upgrades, new editions, or materially different products may require a separate purchase.

The Author does not guarantee that the Software will remain compatible with every future version of macOS, third-party software, audio format, hardware platform, or workflow.

Nothing in this Agreement obligates the Author to release any particular update, feature, or future version, except where such an obligation arises under applicable mandatory law.

11. Privacy and Licensing Data

WaveTag Pro does not transmit the contents of the Licensee's audio files, production metadata, sound reports, or projects to the Licensing Service for licensing purposes.

For License activation and management, the Software may transmit or receive limited licensing-related information, including:

  • the License key or License identifier;
  • the Machine Fingerprint and a human-readable computer name where available;
  • activation and deactivation information;
  • License status and validation timestamps; and
  • License-holder information associated with the License, such as name, company name, and email address.

The Machine Fingerprint is used for License management and is not intended to identify the contents of the Licensee's computer.

Additional information regarding processing of personal data, where applicable, may be provided in the WaveTag Pro Privacy Policy or by the relevant payment or licensing service.

12. User Files and Backups

WaveTag Pro is designed to inspect, modify, and process audio files and associated metadata.

Any software that modifies files may, in exceptional circumstances, cause unintended changes, corruption, incompatibility, or data loss.

The Licensee is responsible for maintaining adequate backups of original recordings, metadata, reports, and other production data before using the Software for modification or processing.

The Licensee is strongly encouraged to work on copies of irreplaceable original recordings.

13. Disclaimer of Warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE".

THE AUTHOR MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY FILE OR WORKFLOW, OR SUITABLE FOR EVERY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits any statutory warranty, conformity right, or consumer remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AUTHOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS ARISING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE.

This may include, where legally permitted, production delay, loss of opportunity, loss of revenue, business interruption, or loss or corruption of files or metadata.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law, including any liability that cannot legally be waived.

15. Support

The Author may provide documentation, email assistance, bug fixes, or other support at their discretion.

Unless expressly stated in a separate support agreement or required by applicable law, purchase of a License does not create an obligation to provide individual technical support, custom development, guaranteed response times, or indefinite maintenance.

16. Feedback

If the Licensee voluntarily submits suggestions, comments, feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback concerning the Software, the Licensee grants the Author a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, adapt, and incorporate that feedback for the development, improvement, documentation, or promotion of the Software.

This section does not transfer ownership of the Licensee's pre-existing intellectual property or confidential production content.

17. Termination

This Agreement remains effective until terminated.

The Licensee may terminate it at any time by ceasing use of the Software and deleting copies under their control.

The Author may terminate or suspend the License following a material breach of this Agreement, subject to applicable law.

Upon termination of the License, the Licensee must cease exercising the licensed rights granted by this Agreement.

Termination does not affect rights or obligations that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual-property rights, limitations of liability, and applicable payment obligations.

18. Governing Law and Consumer Rights

This Agreement is governed by French law.

However, if the Licensee is a consumer, nothing in this Agreement deprives the Licensee of mandatory protections granted by the law that applies to the consumer and that cannot lawfully be excluded by contractual choice of law.

Any dispute shall be brought before a court having jurisdiction under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement restricts any jurisdictional right that a consumer cannot validly waive.

19. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

20. Entire Agreement and Changes

This Agreement constitutes the agreement governing the License to use the Software, together with any applicable licensing plan, order terms, or separate written agreement expressly accepted by the parties.

The Author may update this Agreement for future Software versions or future License purchases.

Material changes will not retroactively remove vested rights where such removal would be prohibited by applicable law.
