(VER 2021-08)
Applicability of the Terms
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) shall be applicable to all orders of any goods including hardware, plug-ins and software (the “Products”) available for purchase through www.softube.com (the “Website”) which are offered by Softube, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a registered office located at Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19808 (“Seller” “we” “us” “our”) and accepted by the customer (the “Customer” “you” “your”). Delivery of any Products to Customer by Seller is expressly conditioned on Customer acceptance of these Terms without modification. If Customer does not accept these Terms, Customer shall immediately return any ordered Products for a full refund. Before you purchase or download any Products, please read these Terms and any other document we refer to herein.
1. Certain definitions and our EULA and Privacy policy
Seller expressly rejects all Customer proposals to delete, add to, modify or amend these Terms. All such proposed changes shall not be binding on Seller unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Seller prior to delivery of any Products. By purchasing our Products, such as Hardware or Plug-ins, you are deemed to have accepted these Terms, together with the applicable End User License Agreement (the “EULA”) for your Product and any other referenced document.
These Terms, together with our EULA for all Customer orders involving software, shall be regarded as a binding contract between you and us.
2. Our Plug-ins
Generally
When you order our Plug-ins, you receive a right to download and use our Plug-ins for the intended purpose, i.e. a license, subject to the provisions in our EULA. We or our third-party licensors, still own the software and the intellectual property rights behind the Plug-in. We have information and descriptions of all our Plug-ins available on the Plug-ins’ pages on our Website. There you can read more about the Plug-ins, specific hardware requirements, the price, license options and other necessary information for you in order to fully enjoy our Plug-ins.
However, we make reservations for potential errors, misspellings or similar in information, in the description of the Plug-ins on our Website, in advertisements or other marketing material. Pictures are for illustrative purposes only, and are not a Plug-in specification. We have the right to correct, amend or update the available information in this regard as well as improve the Website generally. Any Customer claim arising in whole or in part from any alleged inaccuracy or other error in any Product description shall have as its sole remedy a refund of Customer’s purchase price upon return to Seller of the Products.
Available license options
We provide you and other users our Plug-ins via different license models, and for different terms depending on the choice of option and our EULA. The current license models are always displayed and explained on our website.
- A right to use the Product on a perpetual basis (“Perpetual License”);
- A right to use the Product for a time restricted period (“Time restricted License);
- A right to use the Product which requires regular payment of license fees from you to Softube (“Subscription License”);
- A right to use the Product, where your total license fee is divided into monthly instalments due to a payment plan (“Rent-to-Own License”);
- A temporary usage right for your test, trial and evaluation of the relevant Product (“Evaluation License”);
- Licenses not for resale, as described below (“NFR”); and/or
- Combinations of the above license models (“Combined License”).
All our available license options are subject to change and may be amended from time to time. Our offers are not binding until we have explicitly confirmed your offer to purchase one of our Plug-ins. We may also have limited offers with other options on our website or via our partners than those explicitly mentioned in these Terms.
We also have third-party partners that may offer our Plug-ins via other options or provide or sell the Plug-ins by or on our behalf, e.g. by giving you access to our Plug-ins via codes or gift cards that you may trade for access to our Plug-ins. If so, your purchase may be subject to separate terms and conditions, which in such case may apply to your purchase as well (i.e. in addition to the Terms and the EULA).
2.3 System Requirements
All our Plug-ins have minimum system and hardware requirements, which appear on our Plug-ins’ pages. Before you make a purchase, please check the Plug-in’s compatibility with your system and hardware, so you make sure you are able to enjoy our Plug-ins completely. Softube takes no liability for the Plug-ins’ functions and/or compatibility with other systems and hardware than those explicitly recommended on our Plug-in page for each Plug-in.
3. Our Hardware
Generally
When you purchase our Hardware, you purchase a physical product, but as the Hardware contains software and certain software is provided with the Hardware you also receive a right to download and use our software for the intended purpose, i.e. a license, subject to the provisions in our EULA. We or our third-party licensors, still own the software and the intellectual property rights in the Hardware and the software. We have information and descriptions of all our Hardware available on the hardware pages on our website. There you can read more about the Hardware, specific requirements, the price, the license and other necessary information for you in order to fully enjoy our Hardware and the software provided with the Hardware.
However, we make reservations for potential errors, misspellings or similar in information, in the description of the Hardware on our website, in advertisements or other marketing material. Pictures are for illustrative purposes only, and are not a Hardware specification. We have the right to correct, amend or update the available information in this regard as well as improve the website generally. Any Customer claim arising in whole or in part from any alleged inaccuracy or other error in any Product description shall have as its sole remedy a refund of Customer’s purchase price upon return to Seller of the Products.
License for software in Hardware and order confirmation
We provide you and other users our software included with or in the Hardware via a license model. The current license model is the right to use the software included with or in the Hardware on a perpetual basis (“Perpetual License”) according to these Terms and the EULA.
Hardware system Requirements
All our Hardware (including the software included with or in the Hardware) have minimum system, software and Plug-in requirements, which are set out on our Hardware’s pages. Before you make a purchase, please check the Hardware’s and the software’s compatibility with your system, software and Plug-ins, so you make sure you are able to enjoy our Hardware completely. Softube takes no liability for the Hardware’s (or the software included with or in the Hardware’s) functions and/or compatibility with other systems, software, hardware and plug-ins than those expressly recommended on our Hardware page for each Hardware.
4. Orders, Delivery and Installation
To create orders, purchase or download any of our Products, you need to register a Softube account at our website, www.softube.com. We give you detailed information in our FAQ pages on the website and in the section “Softube Account” below. We reserve the right to refuse an order, for example, if you have entered incorrect information in connection with the order or if the order cannot be met due to end sales.
When you have finalized your purchase of any Hardware or Plug-In, an automated preliminary order confirmation is generated. The preliminary order confirmation is a confirmation that we have received your order. However, we might need to verify the details or your purchase, including for example availability of any Hardware subject to your purchase. Our offers for Products are therefore not binding and a binding agreement regarding your purchase of any Products is not accepted by us until we have explicitly confirmed your offer to purchase our Products by providing you with a final order confirmation to the e-mail address provided by you in connection with your purchase. Such final order confirmation will normally be sent to you regarding Plug-ins after receipt of payment, and regarding Hardware, in connection with our commencement of delivery of the Hardware to the address provided by you.
Delivery of Plug-ins and software included with Hardware - We deliver all our Plug-ins and software included with Hardware to you via electronic means, and you need to enable us to deposit your license somewhere. Therefore, you need a Softube account as well as a license management partner such as iLok to manage your licenses. Before you have any of these accounts (or if such accounts for some reason are not accessible), we cannot deliver your license to you, and meanwhile your license will thus be in a pending state until we can deposit the license to your license management account. As soon as this process is finished, you will be able to access any Plug-in and software for Hardware that you have purchased from us and may install it as set out below. The same applies if we and you need to make any other license management action, in which case access to such license management partner is necessary.
Delivery of Hardware – The Hardware is physical good and all packaging, delivery and shipment methods will be available on the Website in connection with ordering.
If you are not a consumer and unless otherwise stated in our order confirmation, all sales to businesses are Ex Works (Incoterms 2020), 2 Dell Parkway, Nashville, TN USA, which means that the risk for Hardware shall pass upon delivery to you or the relevant carrier.
Delivery dates and times identified by the Seller are estimates only. Any specific delivery date indicated by the Seller is non-binding and based on the conditions prevailing at the time the purchase is made. In no event shall Seller be liable for any damages to the Customer due to delay in delivery or non-delivery. Customer’s exclusive remedy for non-delivery shall be a refund of purchase price.
We recommend that you download the Softube Central App, login with your Softube account (Softube Central) and follow our instructions at www.softube.com/my-account in order to install your Plug-ins and software for Hardware.
After you have downloaded and installed the Plug-ins and/or software for Hardware via Softube Central, you can go all in and rock’n’roll and intuitively learn how to use your Softube Plug-in or Hardware. You can find more detailed information in our manual.
5. Payment
Payment in full is required at the time of purchase except in the case of certain software licenses described above that allow for payment over time. Payments shall be made in US currency by any means indicated by the Seller as acceptable at the point of sale. By providing a credit card, debit card or other payment method that Seller accepts, Customer represents and warrants that Customer is authorized to use the tendered payment method and that Seller (or its third-party Payment Processor) is authorized to charge the tendered payment method for the total amount of Customer’s purchase, including any applicable taxes and other charges. Seller is not responsible for errors made by any third-party Payment Processor.
In the event payment is not received when due or is later denied or disallowed by Seller or any Payment Processor, interest shall accrue on all past due amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5 %), or the maximum permitted by law, on all past due amounts for each period of thirty (30) days or part thereof from the due date. Seller shall have the right to refuse to deliver additional Products to any Customer if the Customer is past due on any amounts due to Seller.
We currently accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover credit cards, subject, however, to later changes from us.
If you have purchased any of our Plug-ins from one of our third-party partners, you can use the coupon or license code you got from that dealer or distributor to download the Plug-in from our website.
More information on the currently available payment options for our Products can be found on the website.
We strive for the website to contain the correct information as far as possible. However, we reserve that the website may contain typographical errors and incorrect prices and we are not bound by prices that you realized or should have realized were incorrect. If an incorrect price has been specified for an ordered Product, we will notify you and wait for any approval of the corrected price before the order is considered approved. We will always clearly indicate if any discounts or limited offers apply. You should be aware that any lower than usual prices that are not clearly indicated as a promotional offer or discount may be in error. In case any incorrect information is indicated for any Plug-in or Hardware and you realized or should have realized the error, the incorrect information will not apply to your purchase. You are always welcome to contact us if you have any questions regarding the information provided by us.
