Mix Lock software is sold by Paul Smith, trading as Mix Lock, a sole trader based in England ("Mix Lock", "we", "us"). All purchases are made through LemonSqueezy, our authorised payment and licence processor. Contact: mixlockadmin@gmail.com
When you purchase Mix Lock you are buying a non-exclusive, non-transferable personal software licence. You are not buying ownership of the software, its source code, content, data, or any intellectual property within it. Ownership remains with Paul Smith at all times.
"Lifetime" means the software licence is valid for as long as Mix Lock is actively maintained. In the unlikely event Mix Lock is discontinued we will provide reasonable notice.
Payment is processed by LemonSqueezy. Upon successful payment you will receive an email containing your licence key and a download link. Delivery is digital; no physical goods are shipped. Ensure you provide a valid email address at checkout.
All prices are in GBP (£) and include VAT where applicable. The early adopter price (£49) is strictly limited to the first 50 copies purchased. Once the early adopter allocation is exhausted the standard price (£89) applies automatically. We reserve the right to change prices for new purchases at any time, but any purchase you have already completed will not be affected.
Because Mix Lock is a digital software product that is delivered and activated immediately upon purchase, we are generally unable to offer refunds once a licence key has been issued and activated. Exceptions are made only where:

This licence terminates automatically and immediately if you breach any of its terms. Upon termination you must cease all use of Mix Lock and delete all copies. We reserve the right to disable licence keys remotely and pursue legal remedies for breach.
Updates to Mix Lock are included free of charge for the lifetime of the product. We may change, add, or remove features in any update. We will not remove core functionality that was present at the time of your purchase without reasonable notice.
