The plain terms.

These terms cover the Soundbox website at soundboxqd.com and how you buy a Soundbox license. Using the Soundbox application is covered by the Soundbox License Agreement. Refunds and your right to cancel are in the Refund policy, and how we handle personal data is in the Privacy policy.

1. Who we are

Soundbox is made and published by SoundBoxQD, a sole proprietorship based in Pennsylvania, United States.

Postal address: Pennsylvania 15425, United States
Email: Soundbox.support.qd@gmail.com (support, legal notices and privacy)
Security reports: Soundbox.support.qd@gmail.com, see Security

2. Using the website

You may browse the website, watch the product video, play the sound sketch and download the free demo for your own use. Please don’t:

try to break into, overload or disrupt the website, the downloads or the activation service;
copy the website’s text, images or video to present them as your own, or use them to sell something else;
use automated tools to download the site in bulk.

Good-faith security research reported to us under our Security page is welcome.

The website, its text, images, video and the Soundbox name and logo belong to us or our licensors. You may share links and short quotes, and use screenshots and the product video to review or talk about Soundbox; the press kit has material for that.

3. Buying a license

3.1 The reseller. Licenses are sold through Paddle.com Market Limited (or the affiliate its buyer terms name for your country, “the reseller”), which acts as merchant of record: it is the seller of your order, takes payment, calculates and collects sales tax or VAT, sends your receipt and handles payment disputes, under its buyer terms and privacy policy. We grant the license to use Soundbox under the License Agreement.

3.2 Before you pay, the Buy page and the checkout show what the full studio includes, the license type, the total price with tax, the system requirements, how activation and its online checks work, the one-computer-at-a-time rule and its fair-use limits, how updates and support work, how refunds and cancellation work, and the License Agreement, which you accept at checkout. There are two keys: a lifetime key, which has no expiry date, and a 3-month key, which ends 3 months after purchase. Neither is a subscription: nothing renews or is charged again.

3.3 Delivery. Your license key is delivered on the confirmation page as soon as Paddle confirms the payment, and by email to the address you used at checkout; if you lose it, ask for it again from the key recovery page (soundboxqd.com/recover). If you have not received it within 48 hours, email us with your order number.

3.4 Prices may change for future purchases. A price change never affects an order you have already paid for. If a price on our website is obviously wrong, we will tell you before accepting your order, or cancel it with a full refund.

3.5 Age. You must be an adult (18 or older, or the age of majority where you live) to buy a license. A parent or guardian may buy a license for a child and supervise its use.

3.6 Refunds and cancellation are in the Refund policy: refunds are given as the law where you live requires, and the reseller’s buyer terms apply on top.

4. The free demo and test builds

The demo is free and has no time limit. It is offered as it is, to try Soundbox before buying; we may change what it includes. Test builds are for invited testers only and are covered by section 11 of the License Agreement.

5. Availability

We work to keep the website, downloads and activation service available, but they may be interrupted for maintenance, by our providers or by events outside our control. The License Agreement explains what happens to activation if the service is unavailable.

6. Our responsibility

The website and the free demo are provided free of charge. To the extent the law allows, we make no promises about them beyond what these terms say, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the website. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or your rights as a consumer.

Paid licenses carry the commitments in sections 14 and 15 of the License Agreement.

7. Links

Our pages link to a few other websites, such as our providers’ privacy policies and sound sources’ license pages. We are not responsible for their content.

8. Copyright and trademark complaints

If you believe something on our website or in Soundbox infringes your copyright or trademark, email Soundbox.support.qd@gmail.com with: your contact details; the work you own; where the material is; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; and a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner. We will look into it promptly and remove material where appropriate.

9. Export and sanctions

The website and Soundbox may not be used, downloaded or bought in breach of export control or sanctions laws. See section 16 of the License Agreement.

10. Accessibility

See our Accessibility statement. If something on the website or in Soundbox is hard to use, tell us at Soundbox.support.qd@gmail.com.

11. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in your local courts. Please contact us first; most problems can be solved by email. We do not require arbitration.

12. Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version. Changes apply from the date they are published and do not affect orders already placed. Earlier versions are available on request.
