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.
| Plan | Price | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Pro Season | €99 | 6 months |
| Pro Annual | €179 | 12 months |
| Pro Perpetual | €349 | One-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.
| Plan | Simultaneous machines | Transfers / month |
|---|---|---|
| Season / Annual | 1 | 1 |
| Perpetual | 2 | 1 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom |
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 duration | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 0 -- 30 days | Works normally |
| 30 -- 37 days | Warning banner, still fully functional |
| After 37 days | Reverts 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.
