Glitch Magic Plugin Products End User License Agreement
Last updated: July 3, 2026
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and Glitch Magic ("Glitch Magic," "we," "us," or "our") for Glitch Magic audio plugin products, including AUTOCHOPPER and any other plugin products we make available now or in the future (each, a "Product").
For each Product, this Agreement covers the plugin software in any supported format, including VST3, Audio Unit, AAX, CLAP, standalone applications, or other formats if offered; factory presets; bundled content; documentation; updates; installers; license management components; and related materials that we make available to you (collectively, the "Software").
By installing, activating, copying, or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.
1. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and payment of any applicable fees, Glitch Magic grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use each licensed Product for personal or commercial music, sound design, production, and related audio work.
Unless the applicable product page, order, account, or written agreement with Glitch Magic says otherwise, each paid entitlement may be activated on up to two active machines at the same time. You may transfer activations between machines through the supported account or licensing portal when available.
The Software is licensed, not sold. Glitch Magic and its licensors retain all ownership rights not expressly granted in this Agreement.
2. Trial, Lifetime, and Subscription Licenses
Glitch Magic may offer full-feature or limited-feature trials for one or more Products. Unless stated otherwise for a specific Product, the standard trial period is seven days and is limited to one trial per account.
Lifetime licenses are valid for the Product and license scope stated at purchase. Unless stated otherwise at purchase, a lifetime license includes version 1.x releases of the purchased Product, including maintenance and compatibility updates for version 1.x. Major version upgrades, including version 2.0 and later, may require a separate purchase.
Subscription licenses remain valid while your subscription is active and paid. If you cancel a subscription, access may continue until the end of the then-current billing period. Refunds, chargebacks, payment failures, fraud, or other entitlement reversals may result in immediate license revocation.
When the Software is unlicensed, expired, revoked, or unable to validate a required subscription outside any applicable grace period, the Software may restrict functionality, including muting audio output.
3. Activation and License Validation
The Software may use online activation and license validation. Activation may require an internet connection, account login, license credentials, and collection of a device identifier or machine fingerprint.
Lifetime licenses may store a signed local token after successful activation. Subscription licenses may periodically revalidate online, currently no more often than approximately every 14 days under normal operation. If our licensing service is temporarily unavailable, the Software may allow a limited grace period, currently up to four days for eligible subscription users.
You may not bypass, disable, tamper with, reverse engineer, or interfere with the Software's licensing, activation, trial, validation, or usage-control systems.
4. Permitted Use
You may use the Software to create, process, perform, render, export, and distribute your own audio, music, MIDI, presets, productions, and other creative works, including commercial works.
Glitch Magic does not claim ownership of the music, audio, MIDI, presets, or other creative works you create using the Software, except for Glitch Magic materials that may remain embedded in or distributed with the Software itself.
Your license for one Product does not grant you a license to any other Glitch Magic Product unless your order, subscription, bundle, account, or written agreement expressly includes that other Product.
5. User Content and Sample Rights
You are solely responsible for the audio files, samples, recordings, loops, presets, MIDI data, and other content you load into or create with the Software ("User Content").
You represent that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to use your User Content with the Software and to distribute any works you create from it. The Software does not grant you any rights to third-party samples, recordings, compositions, loops, sound libraries, or other content that you do not already have the right to use.
You agree not to use the Software to infringe intellectual property rights, violate privacy or publicity rights, or create or distribute unlawful content.
6. Restrictions
You may not:
- copy, share, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or make the Software available to others except as expressly allowed by this Agreement;
- use one license for more active machines or users than your entitlement allows;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to do so;
- remove or obscure copyright, trademark, licensing, attribution, or proprietary notices;
- bypass, disable, or interfere with activation, license validation, trial limits, subscription checks, machine limits, or other technical protection measures;
- use the Software as part of a hosted service, timesharing service, sample-generation service, or other service bureau offering where third parties access the Software's functionality, unless Glitch Magic gives written permission;
- use the Software in violation of applicable law or export control requirements.
7. Updates and Compatibility
Glitch Magic may provide updates, bug fixes, compatibility releases, feature changes, or other modifications to one or more Products. Updates may be subject to this Agreement or to additional terms provided with the update.
Glitch Magic does not guarantee that the Software will remain compatible with every operating system, DAW, plugin host, hardware configuration, or third-party product. You are responsible for confirming that the Software is suitable for your workflow before relying on it in production.
8. Third-Party Software and Services
The Software may include, link to, or interact with third-party software, frameworks, plugin standards, licensing services, payment platforms, stores, and other services. Those third-party components and services may be subject to their own licenses, terms, and privacy policies.
Glitch Magic is not responsible for third-party DAWs, plugin hosts, operating systems, stores, payment processors, licensing providers, sample libraries, or other third-party products or services.
9. Data Collection and Privacy
The Software may collect or transmit information needed to provide activation, licensing, account management, anti-fraud checks, subscription validation, support, diagnostics, analytics, and product improvement. This may include account identifiers, license identifiers, Product identifiers, activation status, device identifiers or machine fingerprints, operating system information, DAW or plugin host information, version information, diagnostic events, and usage analytics.
Glitch Magic uses Moonbase and may use other service providers to operate licensing, activation, analytics, support, commerce, and delivery workflows. We do not intentionally collect the audio files or samples you load into the Software through normal plugin use, unless you choose to send files or project materials to us for support.
Your use of the Software may also be governed by any separate privacy policy made available by Glitch Magic. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and a separate privacy policy regarding privacy practices, the privacy policy controls for that subject.
10. Fees, Billing, Refunds, and Revocation
Prices, taxes, renewal terms, billing periods, cancellation terms, included Products, supported formats, upgrade rights, and refund policies are provided at purchase or by the platform through which you buy the Software.
If a purchase is refunded, charged back, reversed, found fraudulent, or otherwise invalidated, Glitch Magic may revoke or disable the associated license or entitlement.
11. Ownership and Intellectual Property
The Software, including its code, design, user interface, graphics, factory presets, documentation, trademarks, service marks, trade names, and related materials, is owned by Glitch Magic or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.
No title or ownership interest in the Software is transferred to you. You receive only the license rights expressly stated in this Agreement and any applicable product-specific terms.
12. Feedback
If you provide feedback, ideas, suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, or other comments about the Software, you grant Glitch Magic a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback without restriction or obligation to you.
13. Termination
This Agreement remains in effect until terminated. Your rights under this Agreement automatically terminate if you violate it, if your license or entitlement expires or is revoked, or if you stop using the Software and delete all copies in your possession or control.
Upon termination, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, restrictions, warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law, and dispute provisions.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. Glitch Magic disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted operation, error-free operation, and compatibility with any particular DAW, host, operating system, hardware, or workflow.
No oral or written information or advice provided by Glitch Magic creates any warranty.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Glitch Magic will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, loss of data, loss of projects, interruption of work, DAW crashes, plugin host issues, failed performances, or loss of goodwill, even if Glitch Magic has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Glitch Magic's total liability for all claims relating to the Software or this Agreement will not exceed the amount you paid to Glitch Magic for the Software in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers or liability limitations, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
16. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Glitch Magic from and against claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to your User Content, your use of the Software, your violation of this Agreement, your violation of law, or your infringement or alleged infringement of third-party rights.
17. Export and Legal Compliance
You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations when using the Software, including export control, sanctions, intellectual property, privacy, and consumer protection laws. You may not use, export, re-export, or transfer the Software in violation of applicable export control or sanctions laws.
18. Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law, the state and federal courts located in New Jersey will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to this Agreement or the Software.
19. Changes to this Agreement
Glitch Magic may update this Agreement from time to time. The updated version will apply when you install an update, renew a subscription, activate or reactivate the Software, or otherwise accept the updated terms. Changes will not retroactively reduce rights granted for fully paid perpetual use of an already-licensed version, except where required for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, or service operation.
