Version 1.0 · Last updated 19 July 2026 · Cosmic Audio Lab
Important — please read carefully
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY. THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT” OR “EULA”) IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU, EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL OR A SINGLE LEGAL ENTITY (“YOU” OR “LICENSEE”), AND COSMIC AUDIO LAB (“COSMIC AUDIO LAB”, “LICENSOR”, “WE”, “US”, OR “OUR”), GOVERNING YOUR USE OF ANY AND ALL COSMIC AUDIO LAB SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING AUDIO PLUG-INS AND STANDALONE APPLICATIONS, TOGETHER WITH ALL ASSOCIATED BINARIES, PRESETS, SAMPLE AND MODEL DATA, AND DOCUMENTATION (TOGETHER, THE “SOFTWARE”).
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING, ACTIVATING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND DELETE ALL COPIES IN YOUR POSSESSION.
This Agreement applies to every Cosmic Audio Lab product unless that product is accompanied by a separate or superseding license, in which case the license supplied with that product governs it. Where a specific product includes its own End User License Agreement, that product-specific agreement and this master Agreement are to be read together; in the event of a direct conflict, the product-specific agreement controls for that product.
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 “Software” means any Cosmic Audio Lab software product that is accompanied by or references this Agreement, in any and all formats provided (including without limitation VST3, Audio Unit (AU), AAX, and standalone application), together with its presets, sample data, model data, documentation, and any updates, upgrades, bug fixes, or new versions that Licensor may provide to You.
1.2 “License” means the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as expressly permitted in Section 8) right to install and use the Software granted under this Agreement.
1.3 “Seat” means one (1) named individual or, for an entity, one (1) designated natural person who is authorized to use the Software under a License.
1.4 “License Key” means the personal license key, serial number, keyfile, activation code, or account entitlement issued to You that authorizes Your use of the Software.
2. GRANT OF LICENSE
Subject to Your continuous compliance with this Agreement and Your payment of the applicable license fee, Licensor grants You a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable License to:
2.1 Install and use the Software for Your own music production, audio engineering, education, or other lawful purposes, including commercial productions (You retain all rights to the audio recordings You create with the Software, as set out in Section 7).
2.2 Install the Software on as many computers as You personally own or control, provided that the Software is used by only one (1) Seat and is not used on more than one computer at the same time, except that a single Licensee may run the Software simultaneously on computers that are part of the same workstation setup operated by that Licensee (for example a primary studio machine and a render or laptop machine), so long as no other person uses those installations.
2.3 Make one (1) copy of the Software solely for back-up and archival purposes.
Certain products or License types may specify a different number of permitted computers, Seats, or activations at the point of sale or in the License Key itself (for example a node-locked, single-activation, or site License). Where a product or License states such a limit, that specific limit governs for that product.
This is a license to USE the Software, not a sale. Licensor reserves all rights not expressly granted to You.
3. LICENSE TYPES AND PAYMENT
3.1 Full License. Unless otherwise stated, a purchased License is a full, perpetual License subject to the terms of this Agreement. “Perpetual” means the License does not automatically expire, but it remains subject to termination under Section 12.
3.2 Not-For-Resale (NFR), Bundle, and Promotional Licenses. Licenses provided at no charge, for evaluation or review, as part of a bundle, or under a promotional offer are “NFR” Licenses. NFR Licenses may not be sold, transferred, sublicensed, or exchanged, and may be subject to additional restrictions stated at the time of issue.
3.3 Payment; All Sales Final. All license fees are payable in advance, and the Software is delivered electronically as a digital good made available for immediate download upon purchase. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND ALL LICENSE FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Because the Software is a digital product delivered electronically, You acknowledge and agree that no refund, return, exchange, or cancellation is available once a License Key has been issued or the Software has been made available for download, except where a non-waivable refund right is required by applicable law or is expressly granted by the authorized reseller through which You purchased.
4. LICENSE KEYS, ACTIVATION, AND VERIFICATION
4.1 Your License Key is personal to You and may be tied to Your name or account. You are responsible for keeping Your License Key confidential. You may not publish, share, sell (except as permitted under Section 8), or otherwise disclose Your License Key to any third party.
4.2 The Software may require activation with a valid License Key before use. Activation and ongoing license verification are performed locally on Your computer. Activation may require a one-time verification of Your License Key through Licensor or its authorized reseller; thereafter the Software operates fully offline.
4.3 The Software does not require a persistent or periodic internet connection to function and does not phone home, transmit telemetry, or send usage data or personal information to Licensor as a condition of continued use. See Section 11 (Privacy and Data).
4.4 You shall not disable, bypass, tamper with, or attempt to defeat any License Key, activation, watermarking, or copy-protection mechanism in or applied to the Software. Use of the Software without a valid License, or beyond the scope of the License You hold, is a material breach of this Agreement.
5. RESTRICTIONS
Except to the extent the following restrictions are prohibited by applicable mandatory law, You shall NOT, and shall not permit any third party to:
5.1 Copy, distribute, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, share, host, stream, or otherwise make the Software available to any third party, except as expressly permitted under Section 8 (Transfer).
5.2 Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, algorithms, model weights, or underlying ideas or structure of the Software, or assist any third party in doing so.
5.3 Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software, or extract, isolate, or re-use any of its components, presets, data, or model parameters outside of the Software.
5.4 Remove, alter, obscure, or circumvent any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices, license-management, copy-protection, watermarking, or activation mechanisms in or applied to the Software.
5.5 Use the Software to develop a competing product, or to train, build, or improve any machine-learning model, dataset, or similar derivative.
5.6 Bundle, embed, or redistribute the Software within any other product, library, sample pack, or service.
5.7 Use the Software in any manner that violates applicable law or the rights of any third party.
6. OWNERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, model data, and other intellectual property rights therein. All copies of the Software remain the property of Licensor. This Agreement does not grant You any rights to Licensor’s trademarks, trade names, or logos. Third-party components and trademarks are acknowledged in the accompanying THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file provided with each product, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. See Section 16.
7. YOUR CONTENT: PRESETS AND OUTPUT
Audio you produce using the Software is yours. You may use, distribute, and commercially exploit your own musical works and recordings created with the Software without any obligation or royalty to Licensor. Factory presets and the Software’s data, models, and code remain the property of Licensor and may not be redistributed except as embedded in your own finished audio productions. User presets that You create are yours to keep and share, provided they do not include or expose any factory data, model parameters, or other proprietary content of the Software.
8. TRANSFER
You may permanently transfer all of Your rights under this Agreement to a single third party in connection with a one-time, permanent transfer of Your License, provided that: (a) You transfer the Software in its entirety and retain no copies; (b) You provide written notice of the transfer to Licensor and use any official transfer mechanism Licensor makes available; (c) the receiving party agrees in writing to be bound by all terms of this Agreement; and (d) the License has not been obtained as an NFR, bundle, or promotional License that prohibits transfer (see Section 3). Licensor may require a reasonable administrative fee to process a transfer. Upon transfer, Your License immediately terminates and You must cease all use of the Software. Renting, leasing, time-sharing, or lending the Software is prohibited.
9. UPDATES AND SUPPORT
Licensor may, at its sole discretion, provide updates, upgrades, or support, but is under no obligation to do so. Any update or upgrade provided to You is governed by this Agreement unless accompanied by a separate license, in which case that separate license governs. Licensor may modify, discontinue, or cease support for the Software or any of its features at any time.
10. EVALUATION, TRIAL, AND BETA VERSIONS
If Licensor makes a trial, demonstration, evaluation, or pre-release (“beta”) version of the Software available to You, You may use that version only for the purpose of evaluating the Software or, for a beta, testing and providing feedback, and only for the period and subject to any limitations Licensor specifies. Trial and beta versions are provided strictly “AS IS”, may be feature-limited, may contain watermarking or time limits, and may be unstable. You must not use a trial or beta version in any commercial or production release except where the version’s terms expressly permit it. Licensor may modify or withdraw any trial or beta version at any time.
11. PRIVACY AND DATA
Cosmic Audio Lab is committed to privacy-respecting software. The Software does not collect, transmit, or sell Your personal data, audio, projects, or usage telemetry to Licensor, and does not require an account or internet connection to operate after activation. Any information You choose to send to Licensor (for example when You register a product, request support, or submit feedback) is provided voluntarily and is used only to provide the service You requested. Purchases and activations processed by an authorized reseller or e-commerce or licensing provider are subject to that provider’s own privacy policy. Any processing of personal data by Licensor is described in the privacy policy published at cosmicaudiolab.com.
12. TERM AND TERMINATION
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It will terminate automatically and immediately, without notice, if You fail to comply with any of its terms. Licensor may also terminate this Agreement if You materially breach it. Upon termination, You must immediately cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies in Your possession or control. Sections 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 shall survive termination.
13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT ITS OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT IT IS FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY BY JURISDICTION.
14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR FOR ANY DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, RECORDINGS, OR OTHER SOFTWARE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ALL CASES, LICENSOR’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE LICENSE TO THE SOFTWARE, OR USD 50, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT FULLY APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
15. EXPORT COMPLIANCE
You agree to comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations. You represent that You are not located in, and will not use or transfer the Software to, any country, person, or entity subject to applicable embargoes or trade sanctions.
16. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE AND NOTICES

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be the state and federal courts located in California, and You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
