SIGNALWORKS DSP SOFTWARE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Effective date: August 15, 2026
Version: 1.0
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING "AGREE," INSTALLING,
COPYING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO THIS END USER
LICENSE AGREEMENT (THE "AGREEMENT"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL
OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
This Agreement is between you and Eric Kuehnl, doing business as Signalworks
DSP ("Signalworks," "we," or "us"). If you accept this
Agreement for a company, school, studio, or other organization, you confirm
that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that
organization.
1. SOFTWARE COVERED
"Software" means the Signalworks DSP application, audio plug-in, free
product, demonstration version, beta version, update, documentation, and
other software identified in your order, download, license credential, or
accompanying materials. "Factory Content" means presets, impulse responses,
neural models, samples, settings, graphics, and other content supplied with
the Software. "License Credential" means any Signalworks license file,
entitlement, serial, or other authorization supplied for the Software.
2. LICENSE GRANT
Subject to this Agreement and any product-specific terms supplied with the
Software, Signalworks grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to install
and use the Software.
Unless your order or a separate written agreement says otherwise:
* A paid individual license is assigned to one named person. That person may
install and use the Software on computers that person owns or controls,
provided the Software and License Credential are not shared with anyone
else.
* A company, school, studio, or other organization must obtain one license
for each person who uses the Software. Shared lab, classroom, network, or
floating use requires written permission or an applicable multi-user
license from Signalworks.
* Free Software may be installed and used by any person who accepts this
Agreement, subject to the same restrictions that apply to paid Software.
* You may make reasonable backup copies solely to protect your authorized
use.
The Software is licensed, not sold. The license is personal to the authorized
user and may not be transferred except with Signalworks' written permission
or where applicable law gives you a transfer right that cannot be waived.
3. MUSICAL AND COMMERCIAL USE
You may use the Software and Factory Content to create, perform, record,
mix, master, and distribute original musical, audiovisual, broadcast, game,
and other audio productions, including productions made for clients or sold
commercially. Signalworks charges no royalty on those finished productions.
You retain your rights in your recordings, performances, original presets,
project files, and finished productions. This Agreement does not grant you
rights in third-party material that you process with the Software; you remain
responsible for obtaining any permissions required for that material.
Factory Content may be incorporated into a finished production, but it may
not be distributed, licensed, sold, uploaded, or made available by itself or
in an isolated or substantially isolated form. For example, you may not use
Factory Content to create or distribute a competing preset pack, impulse
response collection, neural-model collection, sample library, capture pack,
or training dataset.
4. RESTRICTIONS
Except where this Agreement or applicable law expressly permits it, you may
not:
* copy, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, publish, host, redistribute, or
otherwise make the Software or Factory Content available to another person;
* share, publish, resell, alter, counterfeit, or bypass a License Credential;
* defeat or circumvent demonstration limits, authorization checks, security
features, or other technical protections;
* reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, translate, modify, or create a
derivative work from the Software;
* extract Factory Content for use outside the authorized Software, except for
ordinary rendered audio permitted by Section 3;
* use Factory Content as source or training material for another neural
model, impulse response, capture, preset library, sample library, or dataset;
or
* remove or obscure copyright, trademark, attribution, or proprietary notices.
Nothing in this Section restricts a right that applicable law says cannot be
restricted. If applicable law permits reverse engineering solely to achieve
interoperability, you must first request the necessary information from
Signalworks and use any permitted information only for that purpose.
5. USER AND THIRD-PARTY CONTENT
Some Software can load user-provided or third-party presets, impulse
responses, neural models, audio files, or other content. Signalworks does not
grant you rights to that content and does not verify that you are authorized
to use it. You are responsible for the content you load, share, or distribute
and for complying with its license and applicable law.
Third-party names may be used to identify equipment, formats, or services
whose sounds, responses, compatibility, or operation were studied. Unless
expressly stated otherwise, Signalworks is not affiliated with, sponsored by,
or endorsed by those third parties.
6. DEMONSTRATION, BETA, REVIEW, AND NOT-FOR-RESALE SOFTWARE
Demonstration Software may limit processing time, features, saving, recall,
or other operation. You may evaluate it only within those limits and may not
circumvent them. Audio rendered while an authorized demonstration is
functioning may be used as described in Section 3.
Beta, prerelease, review, educational, or not-for-resale Software may be time
limited, incomplete, changed, or discontinued. It may contain defects and
should not be your only copy of material needed for a production. Any separate
beta, review, educational, or not-for-resale terms supplied by Signalworks
control if they conflict with this Agreement. No confidentiality obligation
applies unless you separately agree to one.
7. OWNERSHIP
Signalworks and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the
Software and Factory Content, including all intellectual-property rights.
This Agreement grants only the limited rights expressly stated here. No
Signalworks name, logo, trademark, or trade dress is licensed for your use.
8. UPDATES, SUPPORT, AND COMPATIBILITY
A perpetual license permits continued use of the version you lawfully
obtained, subject to this Agreement and technical compatibility. It does not
promise future updates, upgrades, features, support, or compatibility with
future computers, operating systems, plug-in formats, hosts, or third-party
services. Signalworks may provide maintenance updates without charge and may
license major upgrades separately.
Support, compatibility information, and refund eligibility are governed by
the policies published for the applicable product and by any non-waivable
rights under applicable law. You are responsible for maintaining backups of
installers, License Credentials, projects, presets, and audio.
9. ONLINE FEATURES AND PRIVACY
Some optional features may connect to Signalworks or third-party services at
your request. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy
policies and may change or become unavailable. Signalworks' collection and use
of personal information is governed by the Signalworks privacy policy. This
Agreement does not authorize Signalworks to claim ownership of your music or
project content.
10. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE
The Software may contain third-party software or other materials governed by
separate license terms. Those terms are identified in the Third-Party Notices
supplied with the Software. The third-party terms control only for the
applicable third-party materials. Nothing in this Agreement limits rights
granted to you under an applicable open-source license.
11. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SOFTWARE AND FACTORY CONTENT ARE
PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND. SIGNALWORKS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT. SIGNALWORKS
DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE,
COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY SYSTEM, OR SUITABLE FOR A PARTICULAR PERFORMANCE,
SESSION, OR PRODUCTION.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. Any warranty or
consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded remains in effect to the
extent required by law.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIGNALWORKS AND ITS LICENSORS WILL NOT
BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST PROJECTS, LOSS OF
USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE
SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIGNALWORKS' TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING
FROM OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE
APPLICABLE SOFTWARE. FOR SOFTWARE PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE, SIGNALWORKS' TOTAL
LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED TWENTY-FIVE U.S. DOLLARS (US $25).
These limitations do not apply to liability that applicable law does not
permit Signalworks to exclude or limit.
13. TERMINATION
This Agreement remains in effect until terminated. Your rights under it end
if you materially violate the Agreement and do not cure the violation within
a reasonable time after notice, where a cure is possible. When the Agreement
ends, you must stop using and delete the affected Software and License
Credential. Sections that by their nature should survive termination,
including ownership, restrictions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and
general terms, will survive.
14. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without
regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any consumer right that cannot be
waived, the state and federal courts located in Alameda County, California,
will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from this Agreement.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods does not apply.
If you are a consumer, this Section does not deprive you of mandatory rights
or protections available under the law of your usual place of residence.
15. GENERAL TERMS
This Agreement, the applicable order or license record, any product-specific
terms, and the Third-Party Notices are the complete agreement concerning the
Software. If they conflict, separately signed terms control first, followed by
product-specific terms, the order or license record, this Agreement, and the
Third-Party Notices, except that an applicable third-party license controls
for its own materials.
Signalworks' failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If a provision
is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the
remaining provisions will continue in effect. Headings are for convenience
only.
Signalworks will not retroactively replace the version of this Agreement that
you accepted for Software you already licensed. An update or new product may
be offered under a newer agreement, which will apply only if you accept it.
