License & terms.

Last updated May 22, 2026

The short version

  • You're buying a license to use Rubato Audio software — one person, on the computers you use.
  • Make whatever music you want with it, including music you release or sell. What you create is yours.
  • Please don't share, resell, or redistribute the files or your license key.
  • Buy once, use it forever. Updates to the product you bought are free; if we ever ship a substantially new paid rewrite, existing owners will get a fair upgrade path.
  • Changed your mind within 14 days? Email us for a refund.

The full terms below say the same thing, in more detail.

1. Your license

When you buy a Rubato Audio product, you're purchasing a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the software — not the software itself, and not the intellectual property behind it. The license is for a single user (you), and you may install and use the software on any computers you personally own or control. You're free to use Rubato software for both personal and commercial music: anything you make with it is yours to release, perform, and sell.

2. What you may not do

Please don't redistribute, resell, sublicense, rent, lend, or otherwise share the software files or your license key. Don't repackage the software or present it as your own. The license is tied to you — it can't be transferred or sold on to someone else.

3. Your work is your own

You own everything you create using Rubato Audio software. We claim no rights over your music or your projects. Rubato Audio retains all rights, title, and interest in the software itself.

4. Updates

Updates to the product you bought are free. That includes bug fixes, compatibility updates, refinements, and normal feature improvements, delivered through the same store and account you purchased from.

If we ever ship a major paid rewrite or a substantially new version as a separate product, that release may be a separate purchase. Existing owners will get a fair upgrade path. We also can't promise specific future features, or that any given product will be updated forever.

5. Payments, delivery, and taxes

Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. Lemon Squeezy handles payment, calculates and collects any applicable taxes (such as VAT or sales tax), issues your receipt, and delivers your download and license key. Lemon Squeezy's own terms and privacy policy also apply to your purchase.

6. Refunds

If a product isn't right for you, email [email protected] within 14 days of your purchase and we'll issue a refund. (Refunds can also be requested directly through Lemon Squeezy.)

7. No warranty

Rubato Audio software is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We work hard to make our software reliable and well-behaved, but we can't guarantee it will be error-free or that it will suit every system or use case.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Rubato Audio will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the software. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the product in question.

9. Privacy

We collect as little as possible and never sell your personal information. Purchase information is handled by Lemon Squeezy; newsletter email is handled by Buttondown; contact form messages are handled by Web3Forms; and the website uses Cloudflare for hosting, security, and cookieless analytics. The details live in our privacy policy.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we make a meaningful change, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use Rubato Audio software after a change means you accept the updated terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
