Acceptance of Terms
By installing or using any Swerve-Audio plugin or other product (each, a “Plugin”), or by using Swerve-Audio.com (together, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you must not install or use the Service.
License Grant
Each Plugin is licensed, not sold. Subject to these Terms and payment of any applicable fee, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Plugin for your own music production, mixing, and sound design work. You may not resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise redistribute a Plugin or your license to it, and you may not reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the underlying algorithms of a Plugin.
Any music, mixes, or other audio you create using a Plugin are entirely your own. You’re free to use, release, and sell that work commercially, in any project, with no royalties owed to us and no attribution required. This license covers only your use of the Plugin itself — it does not transfer any ownership in a Plugin, including its underlying code, algorithms, and DSP, which remain the sole property of Swerve-Audio.
A purchased license may be activated only on the number of your own devices stated for that Plugin under “Plugin Details” below, and cannot be shared with others.
Free Trial
Our plugins and products are offered with a free trial that includes their full functionality, with no features held back. The trial period is intended to give you every opportunity to evaluate a Plugin fully — in your own projects, on your own system — before you buy, and its length is listed under “Plugin Details” below. At the end of the trial period, continued use requires a valid purchased license.
Purchases and Refunds
All purchases are final. Because our plugins and products are offered with a free trial of their full functionality, you have the opportunity to fully evaluate a Plugin before paying anything, and no refunds are offered once a purchase is made. By completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to evaluate the Plugin during the trial period and you waive any right to a refund, except where a refund is required by applicable law.
Purchases are processed through a third-party payment processor and are subject to that processor’s own terms. If you run into a technical or licensing problem, contact us — we’re glad to help you get your Plugin working, even though refunds aren’t offered.
Plugin Details
Swerve is available for macOS 11 and later on Apple Silicon, as a VST3 or Audio Unit (AU) plugin, and for 64-bit Windows 10 and later, as a VST3 plugin. It includes a free 60-day trial, and a purchased license may be activated on up to five of your own devices. If you need to activate Swerve on another device after reaching this limit, contact us for assistance.
As we release new plugins and products, their details will be added here. Supported platforms and formats may change over time as we add or update them.
Intellectual Property
Swerve-Audio and its original content, branding, logos, visual design, and software are owned by Swerve-Audio or used with appropriate permission. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of that ownership to you beyond the limited license above.
No Warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every system configuration or third-party software. Your use of the Service is at your own risk.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Swerve-Audio will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from or relating to the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or affects rights available under mandatory consumer law.
Changes to these Terms
We may update or modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.
