Terms and Conditions
Version 2026-09-23.1
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your purchase and use of our software products, including Cassette and the Tangle plugin family — the Tangle rack and its modules as standalone plugins (together, the "Software"). The Software is provided by Weaver Audio Pty Ltd (ACN 678 376 086) of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia — "Weaver Audio", "we", "us" or "our" throughout these Terms. By installing, activating, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.
1. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of any applicable fees, Weaver Audio grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license to install and use the Software for your personal or internal business purposes. It is revocable only in the two cases set out in section 1.3.
1.1 Permitted Use
- Install the Software on machines you own or control, up to the number permitted by your license tier.
- Use the Software to process audio and, where the product provides those features, to generate audio datasets and train models — for personal, educational, research, or commercial use.
- Retain full ownership of any datasets, models, audio output, or derivative works you create using the Software.
1.2 Restrictions
You may not:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except where permitted by applicable law.
- Distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, or sell the Software to any third party.
- Remove or alter any proprietary notices, trademarks, or labels.
- Use the Software to violate any law or infringe any third party's intellectual property rights.
- Circumvent license activation, copy protection, or any other security mechanism.
- Use the Software to create a competing product.
1.3 How long the license lasts, what updates you get, and when it can be revoked
Your receipt calls this a perpetual software license. This is what that means.
- Perpetual. The license does not expire and it is not a subscription. You may keep using the version of the Software supplied to you for as long as you like, on the number of machines your license tier permits.
- It checks in periodically. The Software confirms your license with our server when you activate it, and re-confirms roughly every three months. Between those checks it works normally with no internet connection, so ordinary offline sessions are unaffected. If it has not been able to reach us for about three months it will ask you to reconnect once; your purchase is unaffected and reconnecting restores it immediately. If we ever retire the license server, we will first publish a release of the Software that does not require it — a license you paid for will not stop working because we changed our infrastructure.
- Point releases are included. Every release within the same major version as the one you bought — for example 1.0 through 1.9, including bug fixes, compatibility fixes and improvements — is included at no extra cost.
- Major upgrades may be paid. A new major version (for example 2.0) may be offered as a paid upgrade. We will say so when it is released. You are never obliged to upgrade, and if you do not, the version you have keeps working under this license.
- Old versions are licensed as supplied. Operating systems, host applications (DAWs) and plug-in formats change. We support current releases; we do not undertake to make a version we supplied earlier run on a platform released after it. That is a limit on support, not on your license.
- Revocation, in full. We may revoke a license in two cases and no others: (a) you breach these Terms (see section 9); or (b) the purchase is refunded, reversed or charged back, in which case the license that payment bought ends (see section 5). We do not otherwise switch off a license you have paid for, and if we stop selling or supporting a product the licenses already issued for it keep working.
2. Ownership
The Software, including all source code, designs, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by Weaver Audio and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the Software.
You retain ownership of all content, audio, datasets, and trained models you produce using the Software.
3. Third-Party Content and Plugins
The Software runs inside third-party host applications (DAWs) and interacts with third-party plugins, audio files, and online resources. You are solely responsible for:
- Ensuring you have valid licenses for any third-party plugins you use.
- Ensuring you have rights to any audio content you process.
- Complying with the terms of service of any external websites or services accessed through the Software.
Weaver Audio is not responsible for any third-party content, plugin behavior, or external service.
4. License Activation and Updates
- The Software requires online activation. You agree to allow the Software to communicate with our servers for license validation and for the update check below, as described in our Privacy Policy.
- Update check. The Software fetches one small public file from our website listing the current released version, and compares it on your machine. The request sends nothing about you or your installation — not the product, not the version you are running, not your operating system, and no license serial, email address or account identifier. It can be switched off inside the plugin. See section 1.2 of the Privacy Policy.
- We may release updates, patches, or new versions. Installing them is your choice: the version you have keeps working, as set out in section 1.3. Where a change on our side means an older build can no longer validate its license, the update that restores it is free within your major version.
- We revoke a license only in the two cases listed in section 1.3.
5. Fees and Refunds
- License fees are as listed at the point of purchase.
- Your proof of purchase is a receipt. We email it to you when a payment completes, and if you bought while signed in to an account it is also on your account page, where you can print it or save it as a PDF.
- 30-day money back, no questions. If a purchase is not for you, email [email protected] within 30 days of buying it and we will refund it in full. Refunds are made to the original payment method. When we refund a purchase, the license it paid for ends: stop using that Software, remove it from your machines, and we may revoke the serial.
- Every plugin also has a free trial, so you can run it on your own system before you buy. The 30-day refund is in addition to the trial, not a substitute for it.
- We may change pricing for new purchases at any time. Existing licenses are not affected.
5.1 Your consumer rights come first
The refund policy above sits on top of the rights the law gives you. It does not replace them, and nothing in these Terms takes them away.
If you are in Australia, our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Nothing in these Terms — including the 30-day window above, the disclaimers in section 6, or the limits in section 7 — excludes, restricts, or modifies those guarantees, or any equivalent right you have under a consumer law in your own country that cannot be contracted out of. A remedy under those guarantees is not limited to 30 days and does not depend on anything in this section.
6. Disclaimers
This section is subject to section 5.1: it does not exclude any consumer guarantee that cannot be excluded by law.
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.
We do not warrant that:
- The Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
- The Software will meet your specific requirements.
- Any audio output, dataset, or model produced by the Software will be suitable for any particular purpose.
7. Limitation of Liability
This section is subject to section 5.1: it does not limit any liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for breach of a consumer guarantee.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WEAVER AUDIO BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR DAMAGE TO AUDIO EQUIPMENT, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SOFTWARE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE LICENSE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
Audio Safety Notice: You are solely responsible for monitoring playback levels. Improper use of the Software may produce loud or sudden audio output that could damage hearing or equipment. Always start with low monitoring levels.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Weaver Audio from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of (a) your use of the Software, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your infringement of any third party's rights.
9. Termination
These Terms remain in effect until terminated. We may terminate your license immediately if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies. Sections 2, 6, 7, 8, and 11 survive termination.
10. Export Compliance
You agree to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations and not to export the Software to any jurisdiction prohibited by such laws.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You and Weaver Audio submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and of the courts that hear appeals from them.
"Non-exclusive" is deliberate, and section 5.1 governs: nothing here stops you bringing a claim where a consumer law that applies to you gives you that right, and nothing here excludes, restricts or modifies a guarantee that cannot be contracted out of.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Software or via email. Continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
13. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Weaver Audio regarding the Software, superseding any prior agreements.
