AudioBridger End User Licence Agreement
=======================================

Last updated: 8 May 2026

This is a legal agreement between you ("you", "the licensee") and
Blue Tomato Media ("we", "us") covering your use of the AudioBridger
software (the "Software"). By installing, copying, or using the
Software you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not install
or use the Software.


1. Ownership
------------
The Software is owned by Blue Tomato Media. It is licensed, not sold.
We retain all copyright, trade-mark, and other intellectual property
rights in the Software, the AudioBridger name, and the documentation.


2. Trial use
------------
You may install and run the Software without a paid licence to evaluate
it. In trial mode the sender and hub components each run for thirty
(30) minutes per launch and then exit. Receivers run indefinitely. No
features are otherwise removed during the trial.


3. Paid licence grant
---------------------
If you have purchased a licence and activated it with a valid licence
code, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual right
to use the Software for the major version you purchased ("v1", "v2",
etc.), within the limits of your tier:

- "Personal" tier: up to four (4) sender instances running concurrently
  in your network, plus unlimited receivers.
- "Pro" tier: unlimited senders and unlimited receivers.

A licence covers one cluster (a single network or facility you operate).
Each licence code allows a small number of activations across machines
in that cluster, intended to accommodate replacements and upgrades. To
move a licence to a new machine, deactivate the old one first via the
hub administration UI or by contacting support.

Future major versions of the Software may require a new licence.


4. Restrictions
---------------
You may not:

- Redistribute, sublicense, sell, rent, or lend the Software or your
  licence code to any third party.
- Modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software,
  except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law.
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trade-mark, or other
  proprietary notice in the Software or its documentation.
- Use the Software in any way that breaks the law or infringes the
  rights of others.
- Use a single licence code on more cluster installations than the
  tier allows, or share it across customers or organisations.

You may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software for
your own use.


5. Updates and support
----------------------
We may release updates to the Software at our discretion. Minor and
patch updates within a major version are included with your licence.
Major version upgrades may be a paid upgrade.

We will use reasonable efforts to respond to support requests sent to
support@bluetomatomedia.com, but we do not guarantee any specific
response time or fix.


6. Third-party components
-------------------------
The Software may use third-party libraries (for example FFmpeg for
optional AAC streaming). Those components are governed by their own
licences. Where we ship them with the Software, the relevant notices
are included in the distribution. Where the Software loads them at
runtime from your system, you are responsible for complying with their
licences.


7. Warranty and Australian Consumer Law
---------------------------------------
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "as
is" without warranty of any kind, including any implied warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies any
guarantee, right, or remedy you may have under the Australian Consumer
Law (ACL) or any other applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Where the ACL implies a guarantee that cannot be excluded, our
liability for breach of that guarantee is, to the extent permitted by
law, limited at our option to:

- replacing the Software or supplying equivalent software;
- repairing the Software; or
- refunding the price you paid.


8. Limitation of liability
--------------------------
To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to clause 7, in no
event will Blue Tomato Media be liable for any indirect, incidental,
special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of
profits, revenue, data, or business, arising out of or relating to
your use of the Software, even if we have been advised of the
possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to this
agreement, regardless of cause, will not exceed the price you paid
for the licence in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.


9. Termination
--------------
This licence terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms.
On termination you must stop using the Software and delete all copies
in your possession. The clauses concerning ownership, restrictions,
warranty, liability, and governing law survive termination.


10. Privacy and activation
--------------------------
When you activate a licence the Software contacts our activation
server (bluetomatomedia.com) to validate your code. We log the licence
code, the activating machine's identifier, the time, and the source IP
address. We do not collect audio content, device contents, or any
personal information beyond what is necessary to issue and audit
licences.


11. Governing law
-----------------
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Victoria,
Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of Victoria for any dispute arising out of or relating to this
agreement.


12. Entire agreement
--------------------
This document is the entire agreement between you and Blue Tomato
Media regarding the Software. It supersedes any prior or
contemporaneous communications. If any provision is held
unenforceable, the rest of the agreement remains in effect.
