Licence (EULA)

Version 1.0. Effective [DATE].

This is the agreement between you and [OWNER] ("we") for the Kiln audio plugins, the Kiln menu-bar app, and anything else in a Kiln download (together, "Kiln"). By installing or using Kiln you agree to it. It's written to be read, so here it is in plain English.

1. What you can do

• Use Kiln to make music. On up to three of your own computers at a time, for personal or commercial work, in as many projects as you like. You can move it to a new computer from your account on the website.
• Keep everything you make. Audio you make with Kiln is yours, with no royalties, credits or permission needed, including in released and commercial music.
• Share your presets. Presets you save are yours to share however you like.
• Try it. Every plugin works fully for a 14-day free trial (and one 7-day extension from your account). After that, an unlicensed plugin still opens and keeps your settings, but passes audio through unchanged until you buy it.

A licence covers the plugin you bought it for, or every Kiln plugin if you bought Everything, including updates to those plugins while we keep making them.

Gifts. Kaolin, Flux, Feldspar and Frit can't be bought: they come with joining the mailing list, referring a friend, or an Everything purchase, as described on the website. A gift lasts as long as what earned it does (Kaolin goes back to passing audio through if you leave the mailing list within 30 days; a gift earned with a purchase goes if that purchase is refunded).

2. What you can't do

• Don't copy our code. Don't extract, decompile or disassemble Kiln to take its source code, algorithms or artwork, and don't use them in another product.
• Don't resell or redistribute Kiln. Don't sell, rent, upload or bundle Kiln, its installers or its licence keys, and don't pass off Kiln or a modified version of it as your own.
• Don't share your account or licence. It's for you and your own computers.

That's it. Taking our work and shipping it as someone else's product is the one thing we would act on.

3. Ownership

Kiln and its code, designs, names and artwork belong to [OWNER]. This agreement gives you a licence to use Kiln; it doesn't sell you the software itself. Kiln includes some third-party parts under their own licences, listed in section 9.

4. Updates and changes

We may release updates, which this agreement also covers. We may update this agreement for new versions; the version that came with your download applies to that download.

5. No warranty

Kiln is provided "as is." We work hard to make it reliable, but we can't promise it's free of bugs, that it works with every computer, host or system, or that it fits any particular purpose. Back up your sessions.

6. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, including lost sessions, data, income or time, arising from using or not being able to use Kiln. Our total liability for anything related to Kiln is limited to what you paid for it. Some places don't allow these limits, in which case they apply as far as allowed.

7. Refunds

[Refund policy, e.g. "If Kiln doesn't work for you, email us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund."]

8. Ending this agreement

You can stop using Kiln at any time. If you break section 2, your licence ends and you need to stop using Kiln and delete it. Sections 3, 5, 6 and 10 continue after it ends.

9. Third-party software

• JUCE, used under the JUCE licence agreement. JUCE is a trademark of Raw Material Software Limited.
• Inter typeface by Rasmus Andersson, under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 (`LICENSE-Inter.txt`).
• VST is a trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH. Audio Units and Logic Pro are trademarks of Apple Inc. CLAP is an open plugin standard.

10. General

This agreement is governed by the laws of [STATE / COUNTRY]. If any part of it can't be enforced, the rest still applies. It's the whole agreement between us about Kiln.
