Terms of Service

1. Operator and agreement

PureAlbum is a paid software product offered by the PureAlbum project (the “Developer”). The merchant of record identified at checkout is the seller of record. Contact: hello@purealbum.net. By affirmatively accepting these Terms before checkout, purchasing, downloading, or activating PureAlbum, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use it.

2. Product and system requirements

PureAlbum is a self-hosted, bootable x86-64 appliance image that provides music-library, search, and playback functions. You supply compatible hardware, storage, network access, music files, playback equipment, and any third-party software or services. Compatibility with every device, file, network, or third-party integration is not guaranteed.

3. Personal software license

A completed purchase grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the purchased major version of PureAlbum. One license may be active on up to two devices you own or personally control at a time. You may deactivate and move your activations when changing hardware. The license is granted, not sold; ownership of the PureAlbum application and branding does not transfer to you.

4. Restrictions

Except where applicable law or an open-source license expressly permits it, you may not:

• share, resell, rent, sublicense, publish, or redistribute a license key, personal download link, appliance image, or proprietary PureAlbum component;
• circumvent license, activation, access-control, or update-entitlement mechanisms;
• use PureAlbum to provide a hosted or commercial service to third parties without written permission;
• remove proprietary notices or falsely imply affiliation, endorsement, or ownership.

5. Open-source components

The appliance includes third-party open-source software. Those components are governed by their own licenses, which take precedence over conflicting restrictions in these Terms. Notices and source-availability information are provided on the Open-source licenses page and with release materials where required.

6. Updates and continued use

A purchase includes access to releases published during the one-year update period shown at checkout and on your download page. The last eligible version remains licensed for continued use after that period. Renewals or future major versions may require a separate purchase. Updates may change features, integrations, dependencies, and requirements.

7. Delivery and activation

Delivery is electronic to the email address supplied at checkout. You are responsible for entering a working address and protecting download tokens and license keys. Online and offline activation are available. Activation data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Payment, tax, and immediate delivery

The merchant of record identified at checkout is the seller of record and handles payment, applicable tax, receipts, chargebacks, and payment-related support under its terms. By continuing to checkout, you request immediate supply of the digital product. Where local law provides a withdrawal right for digital content, immediate supply may affect that statutory right; PureAlbum's separate 14-day contractual refund guarantee remains available.

9. Refunds

PureAlbum provides a 14-day money-back guarantee subject to the Refund Policy. A completed refund revokes the associated license and download entitlement. Mandatory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.

10. Your content and lawful use

You retain all rights in your music and metadata. You are responsible for having the right to store, process, and play that content and for using PureAlbum in compliance with law and third-party terms. PureAlbum does not provide music or authorize infringement.

11. Backups and data

Maintain backups of music files, configuration, and important data before installation, updates, storage changes, or troubleshooting. Flashing an appliance image erases the selected target disk. PureAlbum is not a backup service.

12. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PureAlbum is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted operation, or error-free operation. Nothing here excludes warranties or remedies that applicable consumer law does not allow to be excluded.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive loss, or for loss of data, content, revenue, or opportunity. Aggregate liability relating to PureAlbum will not exceed the amount you paid for the product. These limits do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited, including rights available under mandatory consumer law.

14. Suspension and termination

Access to hosted delivery, activation, or device-management services may be suspended for fraud, security threats, chargebacks, refunds, or material breach. On termination, the license ends and you must stop using and distributing proprietary PureAlbum materials. Terms intended to survive termination continue to apply.

15. Applicable law and disputes

Applicable law and the courts with jurisdiction are determined by ordinary conflict-of-law and consumer-protection rules. Nothing in these Terms deprives you of mandatory protections or a forum available in your country or state of residence. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve a dispute informally.

16. Changes and severability

Revised Terms apply prospectively from their posted effective date. Material changes will receive appropriate notice where required. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
