Subject to payment of the corresponding fee (if applicable) and to compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Licensor grants the Licensee a license that is:
- Personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive and revocable
- For Personal Use on one or more Authorized Devices owned by or under the direct control of the Licensee
- Perpetual for the acquired version: the License Key does not expire; the Licensee retains the right to use the acquired version of the Software indefinitely (one-time payment, no subscription)

Browsing and playing back audio is always free and without limit. The Trial Version is offered "AS IS", without warranties (Section 8), and may be modified or discontinued at the Licensor's discretion.

The Licensee MAY NOT, under any circumstances:
a) Distribute, sublicense, sell, rent, lend, assign or transfer the Software, the License Key or any copies thereof to third parties, without the Licensor's prior written authorization.
b) Modify, translate, adapt, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Software, except to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law and cannot be waived by contract.
c) Remove, alter or conceal copyright notices, trademarks, license attributions or any other proprietary identifier present in the Software.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Software and all copies thereof are the exclusive property of the Licensor and are protected by copyright laws, international treaties and other applicable intellectual property rules.
This Agreement grants a license of use only. No ownership right over the Software is transferred to the Licensee.
The trademarks HIFILAT, SmartAudio Manager and the associated logos are trademarks of the Licensor and may not be used without written authorization.
5. UPDATES AND SUPPORT
The Licensor may, at its sole discretion:
- Provide updates, corrections and new versions of the Software.
- Modify, suspend or discontinue features at any time.
- Provide personalized technical support or support via documentation.
There is no contractual obligation on the Licensor to provide updates, support or maintenance, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
6. USER CONTENT AND THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS
The Software allows processing of audio files provided by the Licensee. The Licensee represents and warrants that:
a) It holds all rights to the audio files it processes with the Software, whether by legitimate purchase, own authorship, valid license or public domain.
b) Its use of the Software does not infringe copyrights, related rights, image rights or any other third-party rights.
c) The Licensor is not responsible for the content processed by the Licensee, nor for the uses the Licensee makes of the Software.
d) It shall indemnify the Licensor for any claim arising from the Licensee's illegitimate use of the Software.
7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The Software optionally interacts with external services:
- MusicBrainz (https://musicbrainz.org) — musical metadata database
- LRCLIB (https://lrclib.net) — synchronized lyrics database
The use of these services is subject to their own terms and policies. The Licensor does not control, is not responsible for, and does not warrant the availability, accuracy or continuity of such services.
7.1 Open-source components included
The Software includes third-party components under open-source licenses (among them ffmpeg and libdiscid, under the LGPL license). Such components are governed by their own licenses, which prevail over this Agreement with respect exclusively to those components. In particular, the restrictions of Section 3(b) (reverse engineering, decompilation, modification) do not apply to the open-source components to the extent that their respective license permits or requires (for example, the right of modification, replacement and re-linking guaranteed by the LGPL). The list of components, the texts of their licenses and the corresponding offer of source code are available within the application under Settings → Legal notices & licenses.
8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY.
THE LICENSOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF:
- Merchantability
- Fitness for a particular purpose
- Non-infringement of third-party rights
- Satisfactory quality
- Accuracy or completeness of information
- Uninterrupted or error-free operation
THE LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE:
- Will meet all of the Licensee's requirements
- Will operate without interruptions, errors or defects
- Is compatible with all third-party hardware or software
- Will process all audio formats without loss of quality or metadata
THE LICENSEE USES THE SOFTWARE AT ITS OWN RISK.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties; in that case, this exclusion shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Nothing in this Section limits or excludes the statutory warranties of conformity or the other mandatory rights that consumer protection legislation grants to the Licensee, which remain fully in force. In particular, consumers in the European Union retain the statutory warranty of conformity provided for in Directive (EU) 2019/770.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY EVENT FOR:
- Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages
- Loss of data, loss of audio files, corruption of metadata
- Loss of revenue, lost profits, business opportunities
- Costs of procurement of substitute goods or services
- Damages arising from the use, misuse or inability to use the Software
EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAD BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THE LICENSOR'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ANY CAUSE AND LEGAL THEORY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY THE LICENSEE FOR THE LICENSE KEY, OR FIFTY DOLLARS (USD 50), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
9.1 Licensee actions on its own files
The Software performs actions that the Licensee chooses and initiates (organize, move, rename, convert, and send files to the Trash). Deletion is carried out by sending files to the system Trash (recoverable from there), and the move and conversion operations are designed so that an interruption or error does not destroy the original file. Nevertheless, the outcome of the actions that the Licensee decides to perform is its sole responsibility. The Licensor shall not be liable for the loss, deletion, or modification of files resulting from the actions that the Licensee itself initiates, without prejudice to its liability for the correct functioning of the Software under Sections 8 and 9.
9.2 Mandatory consumer rights
Nothing in this Section excludes or limits the Licensor's liability for willful misconduct or gross negligence, for harm to life or physical integrity of persons, or the mandatory rights that consumer-protection legislation grants to the Licensee, which remain in full force.
RECOMMENDATION: the Licensee should keep independent backups of its audio files before processing them with the Software.
10. TERMINATION
This Agreement enters into force at the moment of activation of the License Key and shall remain in force until its termination.
10.1 Termination for breach
The Licensor may terminate this Agreement immediately, upon notice, if the Licensee breaches any of its terms.
10.2 Effects of termination

The foregoing is understood to be without prejudice to the mandatory rights that correspond to the Licensee in its capacity as a consumer under the legislation of its country of habitual residence; in particular, consumers resident in the European Union retain the protection of the mandatory rules and the jurisdiction of the courts of their place of residence that cannot be excluded by contract.
