Terms & Conditions

1. About daudio::dev

daudio::dev is an audio development platform offering VST3 and AU plugins (free and paid), ebooks, educational articles, DSP tutorials, and a community space for producers and audio developers. Products are sold directly through the site using Stripe as the payment processor.

2. Purchases & Payments

• All prices are listed on the product pages and are charged in the displayed currency at checkout.
• Payments are processed securely by Stripe, Inc. We do not store your card details.
• Upon successful payment, a licence code will be issued and sent to the email address associated with your account. Keep this code safe — it activates your product.
• Purchases are tied to your account. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
• Prices may change at any time. Changes do not affect purchases already completed.

3. Licence Codes & Activation

• Each purchase grants you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the product.
• Licence codes may be used on a reasonable number of personal machines (e.g. studio desktop + laptop). They may not be shared with others.
• If you lose your licence code, you may request a reissue by contacting us at dessy@daudio.dev from the email used at purchase.
• We reserve the right to revoke a licence code if it is found to be shared, resold, or misused.

4. Refund Policy

Because our products are digital goods delivered immediately upon purchase (licence code issued on payment), all sales are final and we do not offer refunds as a general rule.

Exceptions may be made at our sole discretion in cases where the product is demonstrably non-functional on supported platforms and the issue cannot be resolved through support. To request an exception, contact dessy@daudio.dev within 14 days of purchase.

EU consumers retain statutory rights under applicable consumer protection law. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under EU law.

• You may not redistribute, resell, repackage, or share the plugin binaries or licence codes.
• You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, or modify the plugin binaries.
• Plugins are provided "as is". We are not liable for damage to DAW projects, sessions, or systems resulting from their use.
