Terms

Plain-language summary first, then the license. Have your own lawyer read it if it matters to you; we did ours.

In short

• You pay once ($9.99 one-time) and may use Blue Text Relay, including every future version and update, on the Macs you own or control, for as long as you like.
• You get the source code. You may read it, build it and modify it for your own use.
• You may not redistribute the app, the source or license keys, or offer it as a service to others.
• All sales are final: no trial, no refunds, except where the law requires otherwise. See the sales policy.
• It's provided as is. It reads your own data on your own Mac; what you and your agents do with that data is your responsibility.

License key

Blue Text Relay needs a license key to serve requests and export. Without one, the server answers HTTP 402 and exports are off. Your key never expires.
