Terms of Service

StintBox is developed and operated by Kameli ApS, Denmark. StintBox Pro is a season pass, not a subscription: it never auto-renews and never charges you again. You buy a block of time (or permanent access), and when it ends, you decide whether to renew. Cloud storage plans are the one exception — they are a separate, recurring subscription you can cancel at any time, billed monthly or yearly, and buying one is never required to use StintBox Pro.

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.

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

Your projects on your own computer are always accessible. StintBox will never delete your project files or make them unreadable. Optional cloud copies follow the separate rules in section 6.

• 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.

• Your projects are safe — open, view, and edit everything.
• Export reverts to Free-tier limits (1080p, watermark, 5 min).
• Cloud backups stay visible and downloadable for 365 days after your Pro period ends — see section 6.
• We will never hold your projects hostage.

Cloud backup stays off until you switch it on. Your projects also live on your own computer, and nothing in this section changes that — it only covers the copies we store for you.

• While your plan is active we keep your cloud data until you delete it. There is no time limit.
• When a paid Pro period ends, uploading stops — but nothing is locked. Everything already uploaded stays visible and downloadable for another 365 days, at no cost and with no paywall in the way.
• Renewing at any point during those 365 days switches syncing back on, with your data still there.
• We warn you before anything goes: an email every week during the window, then every day for the last three days, each one naming the exact deletion date and what renewing would restore. When the 365 days are up, the cloud copies are permanently deleted. The copies on your computer are untouched.
• You can delete your cloud data yourself at any time. It stays recoverable for 30 days in case you change your mind, then it is permanently removed.
• Capacity: in rare cases we may need to remove an exceptionally large project before its 365 days are up. We will email you at least 30 days in advance so you have time to download it, and downloading stays free — we will not use this to force a purchase.

• 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.

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

• 14-day refund window: you can request a full refund within 14 days of your purchase date, for any reason. Purchases are processed by Paddle as our merchant of record — see our Refund Policy and Paddle's Buyer Terms.
• 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.
• Statutory rights: where your local consumer protection laws give you stronger rights than this policy, those rights always apply.

• 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.

• 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.

During license validation and app use, our server receives:

• License key, machine ID hash, app version, IP address, OS (desktop)
• Anonymous aggregate usage counts (app version, OS, country) derived from auto-update requests (desktop) and launch pings (mobile) — your IP address is used only for GeoIP country lookup and discarded immediately
• Authenticated device heartbeat (logged-in users only) — refresh token + device ID, for device-lock enforcement
• Version heartbeat (desktop) — a salted, irreversible hash of a randomly generated install ID, plus app version, release channel and platform. Kept for 90 days so we can see which versions are still in use.

We do not:

• Individual hardware information (MAC address, serial numbers, or any identifier derived from your hardware)
• Your recorded session data — GPS tracks, lap times, sensor readings, video files — never leaves your device unless you explicitly upload it to Cloud Storage
• Your in-app behavior — which features you use, which buttons you click, which widgets you configure

Full details in our Anonymous usage statistics can be disabled in Settings → Privacy (mobile) or Preferences → Privacy (desktop). Privacy Policy.

• 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.
