Terms of Service
These terms govern your purchase and use of Crate (the “Software”), a desktop application for browsing and previewing music projects, provided by Loudspace Inc. (“we”, “us”). By installing or using Crate, you agree to these terms.
1. License
Your purchase grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Crate on computers you own or control, for as long as the applicable version is supported. This is a one-time purchase; updates within the same major version (1.x) are included at no additional cost. Your license may require online activation and periodic verification, and may be activated on a limited number of devices.
2. What you may not do
- Resell, sublicense, rent, or redistribute the Software or your license key.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law.
- Remove or alter any proprietary notices.
3. How Crate interacts with your files
Crate reads your Ableton project (.als) files to build a searchable library and never modifies them. It writes small companion files next to your projects (a preview, plus your tags, ratings, and notes) and keeps a local index on your machine. You are responsible for backing up your own work.
4. Ableton
Crate is an independent product that works with Ableton Live. It is not made by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Ableton AG. “Ableton” and “Ableton Live” are trademarks of Ableton AG.
5. Payments
Purchases are processed by our third-party merchant of record, who acts as the seller of record and handles payment and applicable taxes. Your purchase is also subject to that provider’s terms.
6. Refunds
Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The Software is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will read or recover every project file perfectly.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, or projects, arising from your use of the Software. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid for the Software.
9. Termination
This license ends automatically if you breach these terms. You may stop using the Software at any time.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Manitoba and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
11. Changes
We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
