End User License Agreement

Effective: August 20, 2026

1. Who this agreement is between

This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a contract between you (the person installing and using the software, "you") and Wildflower Sound, an audio company operated by Braden Parkes as an individual, and its successors (the "Company", "we", "us", or "our").

The "plugins" means the Wildflower Sound audio plugin software you download from us (in formats such as VST3 and AU, as listed in Section 6), together with its presets, documentation, license files, and any updates we provide.

By installing, activating, or using a plugin, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the plugins.

2. What you are getting: a license, not the software

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to install and use the plugins you have acquired, subject to this Agreement. We keep ownership of the plugins and everything in them. You own the license (your right to use the software), and you own the audio you make with the plugins. You do not own the software code, presets, names, artwork, or branding.

This license lasts:

• Forever, for plugins you own outright. A plugin you buy outright, or redeem with points under the rent-to-own subscription, is yours to keep and use permanently, even if you later cancel a subscription. See the Terms of Service for how ownership and points work.
• For as long as your access is active, for the rent-to-own catalog. While your rent-to-own subscription is active, you may use the full catalog under the same terms below. That catalog access ends after the grace period described in the Terms of Service if the subscription lapses. Plugins you have already redeemed to own are not affected.

3. What you may do

• Install and activate each licensed plugin on up to 3 machines that you own or control.
• Use the plugins in your own creative work, personal or commercial, with no extra royalty owed to us for the audio you produce.
• Move a license between your machines using the self-service deactivation in your account area (deactivate one machine to free up an activation for another).
• Make a reasonable backup copy of the installer and your license files for your own use.

4. What you may not do

• Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lend, or give away your license or license files. Licenses are per-person and are not resellable or transferable. (If your circumstances change, for example a studio account or a genuine handover, contact support and we may grant a goodwill transfer case by case. This is a courtesy, not a right.)
• Share your license files, magic-link login, or catalog pass so that other people can use the plugins.
• Copy, modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the plugins, or try to derive their source code or DSP algorithms, except where that restriction is not allowed by law.
• Remove, hide, or alter any copyright, trademark, or license notices.
• Defeat, bypass, or tamper with the licensing, activation, or catalog-pass system, or use the plugins beyond the rights granted here.
• Use the plugins to build a competing product, or to train a machine-learning model to reproduce the plugins or their processing.

5. Activations, offline use, and the catalog pass

• Each owned license allows up to 3 active machines at once. You can deactivate a machine yourself, at any time, in your account area to free up a slot.
• Owned plugins work offline permanently. When you own a plugin, activation writes a signed license file to your machine. Once activated, that plugin keeps working with no ongoing internet connection required.
• Rent-to-own catalog access uses a signed catalog pass that refreshes on each successful monthly payment. Your machine needs to refresh this pass online roughly once a month. If a machine stays offline, you can download the current pass file manually from your account page and place it on that machine.
• We may update the license system over time to fix problems or improve security. We will not use it to take away plugins you already own.

6. What the plugins run on, and updates

Systems we support. The plugins run on macOS 11 Big Sur or later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and on Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. On macOS we provide AU, VST3, and standalone versions. On Windows we provide VST3 and standalone versions. AAX for Pro Tools arrives with version 1.0, on both systems. Every plugin you have access to runs on every system in this list, so one purchase covers your whole setup.

What we do not support. We do not provide VST2 versions, we do not support 32-bit hosts, and we do not support Linux. Pro Tools is not supported yet on either system.

How long that lasts. The list above describes what we support today, not a permanent commitment. Operating systems and host applications change, and support for older ones eventually ends. If we need to drop support for a system, we will say so on our website before it takes effect, and any plugin you already own will keep working on the machines it already runs on. You will not lose a plugin you own because we stopped supporting a system.

Updates. We may release updates, bug fixes, and new versions of the plugins. When we make an update available to you, this Agreement covers it too, unless the update comes with its own terms. We are not obligated to keep every past version available or to maintain compatibility with every future operating system or host application, though we try to support our plugins well.

7. Where you bought it, and payments

Your purchase transaction is handled by our payment provider, Paddle, acting as the merchant of record (the seller of record for the transaction). The license itself comes from us under this Agreement, but the sale, receipt, taxes, and any payment dispute are handled by Paddle, and Paddle's own checkout terms apply to the transaction. Charges may appear on your statement as "PADDLE.NET*". See the Terms of Service and Refund Policy for the details.

8. Intellectual property

The plugins, their presets, artwork, documentation, the "Wildflower Sound" name, the "Wild" plugin names, and all related trademarks and content are owned by the Company and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. This Agreement gives you a license to use the plugins, and nothing else. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us.

9. Warranty disclaimer

We put real care into these plugins and tune them by ear before they ship. Even so, the plugins are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the plugins will be error-free, uninterrupted, or compatible with every system or host, or that defects will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you. Where the law gives you rights that cannot be waived, nothing here limits those rights.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Company will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost audio work, arising out of or related to the plugins or this Agreement, even if we have been advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim relating to a plugin will not exceed the amount you actually paid us (or paid through Paddle to us) for that plugin in the 12 months before the claim, or, for a plugin accessed through the rent-to-own subscription, the subscription fees you paid for that same period.

This section does not limit liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Term and termination

This Agreement applies for as long as you use the plugins. Your rights under it end automatically if you materially break its terms, for example by cracking the license or redistributing it. If your license ends, you must stop using the affected plugins and remove your copies. Sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law) survive termination.

Ending a rent-to-own subscription is not a breach and does not terminate this Agreement for plugins you already own.

12. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If the consumer law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts, this section does not take that right away.

13. Changes to this Agreement

We may update this Agreement as our plugins and business grow. If we make a material change, we will post the new version with a new effective date and, where reasonable, let you know. Plugins you already own stay governed by the terms you agreed to when you got them, except for changes that make the terms more favorable to you or that the law requires.

14. If our business changes hands

Wildflower Sound may change its legal form as it grows, for example by incorporating, and the business could one day be sold, merged, or reorganized. If that happens, we may transfer this Agreement, along with our rights and obligations under it, to the entity that takes over the business. Your licenses go with it and stay on the same terms. We will never use a transfer to take away something you already own or to make these terms less favorable to you, and where the law requires us to tell you, we will.

Your side of this Agreement is personal to you, so you may not transfer it, apart from the goodwill transfers described in Section 4.
