Terms of Service

Plain language, no legal jargon. Here is how StintBox licensing works.

Last updated: March 2026

1. What You're Buying

StintBox is developed and operated by Kameli ApS, Denmark. StintBox Pro is a season pass, not a subscription. No auto-renewal, no recurring charges. You buy a block of time (or permanent access), and when it ends, you decide whether to renew.

PlanPriceDuration
Pro Season€996 months
Pro Annual€17912 months
Pro Perpetual€349One-time (includes 12 months updates, extend €99/yr anytime)

2. Machines & Installations

A personal license is intended for use on one machine — your primary editing computer. We include transfers for flexibility when you upgrade hardware or switch between setups.

Transfers are allocated upfront for each month of your license. If your license is extended (e.g. via referral), the additional transfers are added immediately.

Enterprise: need more machines or custom terms? Contact us at [email protected] — we'll build a plan that fits your team.

Machine ID is calculated from a hardware fingerprint hash. Single component changes (e.g. a new GPU) are adapted automatically; larger changes or a new computer require a transfer.

3. Internet & License Validation

StintBox validates your license each time you open the app. If you go offline, here is what happens:

Offline durationBehavior
0 -- 30 daysWorks normally
30 -- 37 daysWarning banner, still fully functional
After 37 daysReverts to Free mode (16 widgets, watermark, 1080p)

Your projects are always accessible. StintBox will never delete projects or make them unreadable.

4. If StintBox Shuts Down or Is Sold

  • Planned shutdown — a final update removes the license check entirely.
  • Acquisition — the acquiring party must honor existing licenses or provide a full refund.
  • Unexpected shutdown — after 37 days offline the app reverts to Free mode, which works offline indefinitely.

5. When Your License Expires

  • Your projects are safe — open, view, and edit everything.
  • Export reverts to Free-tier limits (1080p, watermark, 5 min).
  • We will never hold your projects hostage.

6. Perpetual Licenses

  • Your Perpetual license grants you the right to use StintBox Pro indefinitely — the license does not expire, and the application will continue to work with all features received during your update period.
  • 12 months of updates included with purchase.
  • Extend updates for €99/year anytime — there is no deadline or pressure.
  • OS guarantee: we support the latest Windows + macOS for 5 years from purchase. Linux is best-effort (Ubuntu LTS). If we break compatibility, we fix it within 90 days or issue a full refund.

7. Refunds & Consumer Rights

StintBox has a generous free tier (16 widgets, all themes, all telemetry formats) so you can evaluate the software thoroughly before purchasing.

  • EU customers: at checkout we ask for Article 16(m) consent — immediate access to digital content waives the 14-day withdrawal right.
  • Fix-or-refund: if StintBox is genuinely broken due to a verified StintBox bug, we offer a 60-day fix-or-refund guarantee. This does not cover user hardware, OS, or driver issues.

8. Personal vs Commercial Use

  • A personal license is for individuals, hobby use, and content creation. You may monetize your videos (YouTube ads, Patreon, social media).
  • A commercial license is required when producing client deliverables or when your entity revenue exceeds €50,000/year. Contact [email protected] for commercial licensing.

9. What You Can and Cannot Do

You can

  • Use StintBox for any personal or creative project
  • Monetize exported videos
  • Share .stint and .stintpreset files
  • Post screenshots and reviews

You cannot

  • Share or redistribute license keys
  • Remove the watermark on Free-tier exports
  • Use a personal license for commercial work
  • Reverse-engineer or decompile the software
  • Circumvent license validation
  • Resell your license

10. Referral Program

  • Sender: 30 extra days per paying referral.
  • Receiver: 20% off their first purchase.
  • Perpetual license owners receive 30 extra days of updates per referral.
  • No cap — refer as many people as you like.
  • Rewards are credited after a 14-day payment clearing period.

11. Privacy

License validation collects the following data:

  • License key, machine ID hash, app version, IP address, OS

We do not:

  • Store individual hardware information
  • Track your usage or telemetry within the app

Full details in our Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to These Terms

  • Existing licenses are always honored under the terms in effect at the time of purchase.
  • We provide 30 days advance notice for any material changes.
  • You will never lose paid features due to a change in these terms.
