Terms of Service

Accepting these terms

By using this website, downloading the ShortcutDock application, or buying the Pro upgrade, you agree to these terms, to our Privacy Policy and to our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site or the app.

Free basic and the Pro upgrade

ShortcutDock is sold in two forms, described in full on the pricing page:

• Basic. Free to download and free to keep using, with some capabilities limited.
• Pro. A single payment that removes those limits. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and there is no recurring charge and no account to maintain.

The product is in early access, so the price and the shape of future plans may change for new customers. If you buy the one-time Pro upgrade before that changes, your purchase stays valid on those terms.

Your licence to use the app

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and run ShortcutDock on Macs you own or control. Buying Pro extends that same licence to the Pro capabilities; it does not transfer ownership of the software to you.

• Personal and commercial use. You may use the app for personal projects, for paid client work, and inside a company.
• Restrictions. You may not sell, rent, lease, sub-license or redistribute the application files, and you may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except where local law expressly allows it despite this term.
• Circumvention. You may not bypass, patch or share a way around the limits of the free version.

Payment and refunds

Pro purchases are handled off this site by Polar, our payment provider and merchant of record. Your payment details are entered on Polar's pages and never reach our servers. Prices are shown in United States dollars, and any tax is applied by Polar at checkout according to your location.

We have not published a fixed refund window. If the app is not what you expected, contact us and we will sort it out with you through Polar. Nothing here limits any refund or cancellation right you have under the Australian Consumer Law or the consumer law where you live.

Intellectual property

The source code, application binaries, website design, branding, logo, screenshots and documentation remain our property. All rights not expressly granted in these terms are reserved.

Provided as is

ShortcutDock is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent the law allows.

• We do not warrant that the app will run without interruption, be free of defects, or meet your particular requirements.
• To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the software.
• Some consumer guarantees cannot be excluded by contract. Where that is so, they apply despite this section, and our liability is limited to resupplying the software or refunding what you paid for it.

Links to other services

This site links to services we do not run, including our payment provider and the network that serves the download file. We are not responsible for their content, their terms or their privacy practices. Their own policies apply when you are on their pages.

Changes and termination

We may change these terms as the product changes. The revised version is posted here with a new "Last updated" date. We may also modify the app, discontinue a capability, or stop supporting the website. Continuing to use the app or the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal action relating to the site or the app is to be brought in a court in New South Wales, Australia.
