Refrain · End User License Agreement
The terms under which Refrain is licensed to you. Plain, fair, and short.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you and Subverting Complexity ("we", "us", "our") governing your use of the Refrain application ("the app"). They incorporate, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy.
We grant you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use Refrain on devices you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and with the usage rules of the app store from which you obtained it. This is a licence, not a sale — we retain all rights in the app.
You agree that you will not:
Refrain lets you import your own audio files for personal practice and playback. You are solely responsible for the audio you import and must ensure you have the legal right to use it. You agree to only import audio that you own, have created, or are otherwise authorised to use, and to use it in a manner consistent with the rights of the copyright holder. We do not access, host, or distribute your audio — it stays on your device.
The app, including its design, code, branding, and all related intellectual property, is owned by Subverting Complexity and is protected by copyright and other laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights in our trademarks or branding.
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that defects will be corrected. You use the app at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you may have as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, 2008 or other applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Subverting Complexity will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the app. Because Refrain stores your data locally, we strongly recommend you keep your own backups of any important audio; we are not responsible for data lost through device failure, deletion, or uninstalling the app.
Your use of the app is also subject to the terms of the platform from which you downloaded it.
These Terms are between you and Subverting Complexity only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. To the extent these Terms provide a licence, that licence is subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA); where these Terms conflict with that EULA, the Apple Standard EULA governs for App Store downloads. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
Your use of the app obtained through Google Play is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.
This licence remains in effect until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach these Terms. You may terminate it at any time by uninstalling the app and deleting all copies.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, including the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2002, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the South African courts, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be posted at this URL with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
