Terms of Use

1 · Scope and operator

These terms govern your use of the Filox Mac, iPhone, and iPad applications and updates supplied for them (the “Software”). The provider is Bent Eisheuer, at the address stated in the Imprint.

2 · Free App Store launch access

The first launch customers receive fully unlocked Mac App Store, iPhone and iPad access free forever. There is no trial, purchase, subscription or activation requirement. A price or trial policy for later customers has not been decided. Any later paid policy must preserve the free access granted to these first customers.

3 · Direct-download status

Paid sales are not open. New direct downloads are paused. Previously downloaded previews run for 7 days from first launch and then lock. There is currently no way to purchase or extend access. This historical preview is separate from the free App Store launch. No direct-download purchase is currently offered.

4 · Permission to use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to install and use the Software on devices you own or control for the applicable free access, preview, or licensed period, subject to Apple's usage rules where distributed by Apple. You retain all rights in your files and in output created from them.

5 · Restrictions

You must not:

• redistribute, sublicense, sell, rent, or lease the Software;
• circumvent or tamper with trial or licensing controls;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except where and to the extent applicable law expressly permits it; or
• use the Software to violate applicable law or third-party rights.

6 · Product behavior and privacy

File operations run on your device. Limited network requests support model provisioning and app updates. The free App Store launch does not use StoreKit purchases or DeviceCheck trial checks. The previous direct-download preview has a separate trial anchor. Their data, purposes, recipients, and retention are described in our Privacy Policy.

7 · Intellectual property and components

The Software and Filox brand assets remain protected by the applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party and open-source components, including FluidAudio, the Parakeet model, and the direct build's Sparkle updater, remain governed by their own licence notices. Those licences take priority for the relevant component where required.

8 · Updates and availability

The Software may change as it is maintained. We may issue fixes or updates, and an update can be required for secure or correct operation. Any mandatory statutory update obligations and other consumer rights remain unaffected. For a paid core licence, updates we release for that licence are included without an additional core fee; this does not promise a particular future feature or an unlimited support period beyond mandatory law.

9 · Defects, liability, and mandatory rights

Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, product liability, and mandatory consumer rights. In all other respects, the statutory rules apply.

10 · End of permission

The free App Store launch access does not expire. Historical direct-preview access ends after its 7-day period unless a licence is active. We may end permission for a material breach of these terms after any legally required notice or cure opportunity. Mandatory rights and claims that arose before termination remain unaffected.

11 · Governing law

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections of the country in which you habitually reside.
