Licence terms

These terms are between you and TUNES OF FANTASY GmbH, Häberlinstrasse 65, 8500 Frauenfeld, Switzerland, trading as Titanscore Audio. They apply to Ostinato, Piano, Chords and every other instrument offered on titanscoreaudio.com.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle is the merchant of record for all orders: it sells the licence to you, takes the payment, issues the invoice, handles VAT and sales tax, and answers billing questions. Paddle's buyer terms apply to the purchase itself. The licence is granted by TUNES OF FANTASY GmbH under the terms on this page.

Refunds are covered by the refund policy.

Buying an instrument gives you a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to install and use it on up to two machines you own or control. You can move a licence to another machine by releasing the old machine in your account; a released seat stays reserved for seven days unless the same machine returns, and a licence can be released up to three times in thirty days. The licence is personal: sharing a key with other people, or using it on machines you do not own or control, is not allowed.

Chords and Lumivox are free of charge. A free account on titanscoreaudio.com gives you the same licence for each of them, on up to two machines, with one licence per instrument and account. Everything in these terms applies to them, except what concerns payment and refunds.

Epochs comes free of charge with Ostinato and with Piano: whoever holds a licence for one of them receives a licence for Epochs on the same terms. If that purchase is refunded and no licence for Ostinato or Piano remains, the free Epochs licence ends as well.

A free trial gives you a licence to use an instrument on one machine for the time stated when the trial starts (14 days for Epochs), to try it out. There is one trial per account and one per machine for each instrument. When the trial ends, the instrument stops working until you activate a regular licence; your projects and settings stay as they are.

The licence covers all point releases of the version you bought. A future major version may be a separate purchase.

You may use anything the plugin writes, every MIDI file you drag out, in commercial releases, film, games and advertising, with no royalty and no credit required. This right is non-exclusive: other customers can produce the same or a similar pattern, and nobody can claim a pattern the plugin produced as their own. What you make with it is yours.

The MIDI the plugin writes may be used only as part of your own music. You may not sell, share or give away the patterns themselves, as MIDI files, loops, presets, packs, templates or in any other form that lets someone use them without a licence of their own, and you may not use them to build a competing product or a library of any kind.

This applies just as much to patterns you have edited, changed or saved as your own presets. Moving, adding or deleting notes does not make a pattern yours to sell or pass on: everything the plugin produces, edited or not, remains the property of Titanscore Audio, and your right is to use it in your music.

The same applies to the audio Epochs renders from your sounds and to what you play with Lumivox: you may use every transition, every stem and everything you record from Lumivox in your own productions, commercial ones included, with no royalty and no credit required. The sounds you bring in remain yours, or their owner’s. You may not sell, share or give away the transitions or chops themselves as a sound library, sample pack or in any other form that lets someone use them without a licence of their own.

The instruments, their presets and the pattern library remain the property of Titanscore Audio. You may not copy, share, resell, rent out or redistribute the plugin, its installer or any part of it, nor share your licence key or activation with anyone, nor bypass, remove or tamper with the activation, nor decompile, reverse engineer or extract the presets or the pattern library from it. Copyright notices, licence keys and other identifying features may not be removed or altered.

You may not use the plugins, their presets, the pattern library or anything they produce for text and data mining, or to train, test or improve any software or system that generates music, audio or MIDI. TUNES OF FANTASY GmbH expressly reserves these uses.

Ostinato, Piano, Chords, Epochs, Lumivox, their code, presets, pattern library, names and artwork are copyrighted works of Titanscore Audio. The licence lets you use them; it transfers nothing. Any use not expressly allowed here is not allowed.

The instruments are provided as they are. We do not promise that they run without interruption or error on every system, or that a pattern suits a particular purpose. Please check the system requirements before buying.

We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. In all other cases, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect damage, lost profit or lost data, and our liability is limited to the price you paid for the licence.

If you are a consumer, the statutory warranty rights that cannot be excluded under the law of your country of residence remain unaffected.

If you breach these terms, in particular by sharing the plugin or a key, by bypassing the activation or by passing on the patterns, the licence ends and the activation can be revoked without refund.

These terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Place of jurisdiction is Frauenfeld, Switzerland. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence and your right to bring proceedings there remain unaffected.

If any provision of these terms is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force. The invalid provision is replaced by a valid one that comes as close as possible to its purpose.

These terms are written in English, and the English text is the only binding version.
