This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Licensee") and Martín Campos, operating as Pad Works ("Licensor"), based in Santiago, Chile. By installing or using a Pad Works plugin (the "Software"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software, and (for paid products) request a refund within the refund window (§7).
1. License grant
Licensor grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software for any lawful purpose, including commercial music production, subject to this Agreement.
- Per user. The license is personal to you (one natural person). For companies and studios: one license per concurrent user seat.
- Machines. You may install the Software on up to three (3) computers that you personally own or control, provided the Software is used by you on only one of them at a time.
- Free products (e.g. PUNCH) are licensed under these same terms at no charge.
Audio you create with the Software is 100% yours. No royalties, no attribution required.
2. Restrictions
You may not:
- resell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, or transfer the license or license key to anyone else;
- share license keys, or circumvent or attempt to circumvent license validation or copy protection;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- modify the Software or create derivative works of it;
- redistribute the Software's files (installers, binaries, presets, impulse responses, or other bundled content) outside the machines covered by §1.
3. Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor retains all right, title, and interest in the Software, including all intellectual property rights. Third-party open-source components included in the Software remain under their respective licenses; the full list and license texts are published at padworks.io/legal/third-party-licenses.
4. Updates and upgrades
Purchases include all minor and patch updates within the same major version (e.g. every 1.x release), delivered at Licensor's discretion. New major versions (e.g. 2.0) may be offered as a paid upgrade; existing customers will receive preferential upgrade pricing. Support is provided by email on a reasonable-efforts basis.
5. License keys
Paid products are delivered with a license key issued through Lemon Squeezy. Keep it: it is your proof of license. Current versions of the Software do not require online activation. If a future version adds activation, it will be limited to the number of machines in §1 and the Privacy Policy will describe exactly what is exchanged before that version ships.
6. No warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT IT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY HOST APPLICATION, OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION, OR HARDWARE CONFIGURATION. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties; in that case the exclusion applies to the maximum extent permitted.
7. Refunds
Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record, and refunds are executed through Lemon Squeezy under its refund policy. Our store policy: if a Pad Works plugin doesn't work on your system, contact us within 14 days of purchase and we will make it right — a fix or a full refund. See padworks.io/refunds.
8. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOST PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE. LICENSOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE (OR USD $0 FOR FREE PRODUCTS).
9. Termination
This Agreement terminates automatically if you materially breach it (e.g. key sharing, redistribution). Upon termination you must uninstall and delete all copies of the Software. Sections 3, 6, 8, and 10 survive termination.
10. Governing law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Chile, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to it shall be submitted to the ordinary courts of Santiago de Chile. Nothing in this Agreement limits mandatory consumer rights that apply to you under your local law.
11. Trademarks
