website & purchase terms.

I’m Owen Van Vooren, an individual developer in Minnesota, United States. smush is my product name, not a separate company. These terms cover this website and the licenses I offer.

The EULA covers the software license. The privacy policy describes information handling; reading it does not consent to advertising or unrelated data use.

placing an order

Before checkout, you must agree to these terms and the EULA and have legal capacity to make the purchase, or act through a parent, guardian, or other authorized person where the law permits. I record the agreement revision and time with the order. You can save this revision of the purchase terms, EULA, privacy notice, and local test privacy notice. Checkout uses the name Stripe provides for the purchaser. Purchase records and license recovery are tied to the purchase email.

A paid license is a one-time purchase of $4.99 USD before applicable tax. Check the final amount and currency shown before payment. A license supports up to three Macs total across the purchaser and any friends or family sharing it, under the EULA. Delivery is digital.

smush requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later and uses private macOS APIs that can change. Review the EULA’s compatibility and activation limits and try the free trial on your setup. Sales, when enabled, are available only in countries supported by the configured merchant of record and permitted by applicable law; payment-provider availability alone does not establish that every country is supported.

payment and delivery

Checkout uses Stripe Managed Payments, shown as “Sold through Link.” The Stripe entity identified at checkout is the merchant of record and handles payment, applicable transaction taxes, disputes, and transaction support. I license the software and handle product support. Stripe may show the total in your local currency. Stripe’s checkout and receipt identify its transaction terms. You keep any rights you have against Stripe. See Link transaction support.

I issue the license after payment is confirmed and send the key to the purchase email. You can also retrieve it in the browser that started checkout for up to 24 hours from the start of the order. If you closed that browser or the time has passed, use license recovery. Contact hi@trysmush.app for help with your key, or use the support link on your receipt for payment questions.

14-day refunds

You may request a full refund within 14 calendar days after purchase, for any reason. Email hi@trysmush.app with your purchase email or order reference, or use the transaction support on your receipt. A request received within that window qualifies even if processing takes longer. Do not send a full card number, card security code, or license key.

I will approve eligible requests for the full purchase amount and applicable tax paid, processed through the original payment provider. The time it takes to reach your account depends on that provider and your bank. Stripe may also grant refunds under its own transaction terms. Outside my 14-day window, mandatory cancellation, refund, warranty, and other consumer rights still apply. I do not treat downloading, activating, or accepting these terms as a blanket waiver of those rights.

I will submit an approved refund without undue delay and within any deadline applicable law requires. Where a statutory withdrawal right applies, you may exercise it by an unambiguous statement, including email. You may write: “I cancel my purchase of smush, ordered on [date], order reference [reference], purchased using [email]. My name is [name].” You do not have to use that wording. My voluntary refund window does not shorten a longer statutory period or replace remedies for faulty or misdescribed software.

A full refund or final payment reversal ends the paid software license. Stop using refunded copies even if an offline receipt still works. Opening a good-faith dispute does not waive any rights; online activation and device management may be paused during review, but an unresolved dispute alone does not revoke an existing local activation.

website use and your reports

You may use the website and send relevant support or bug reports. Do not disrupt it, attempt unauthorized access, send unlawful content or spam, or submit other people’s confidential information without permission. If you send me a report, you keep ownership of it and permit me to use it as needed to investigate, respond, and improve smush. This is not permission to publish personal information from your report.

I or the relevant rights holder retain rights in website text, branding, artwork, and font software. You may view the site, use its controls, and save legal documents and purchase records. No separate font, artwork, or trademark license is granted. Restrictions here do not override uses the law permits.

I may correct website errors and change future offers. I will not retroactively increase a paid order’s price or change its license by editing this page. If a material order error cannot be resolved on the agreed terms, I will seek your agreement or arrange a refund rather than silently substitute a different deal.

website availability and liability

Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience. Their operators control them. The current app does not depend on this website remaining available for everyday use of an already valid offline activation, but new activations and recovery require the relevant services.

Where the law permits, the website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without additional implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. For ordinary claims against me arising from the website or an order, my aggregate liability is limited to the amount paid for the affected license, or US $4.99 if there is no paid license. I am not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses.

These limits do not reduce a refund owed, excuse fraud, intentional misconduct or gross negligence, exclude death or personal injury caused by negligence, or restrict liability, warranties, or consumer remedies that the law does not let me limit. The EULA governs software claims; these provisions do not create a second recovery cap for the same claim or restrict your separate rights against the merchant of record.

law, changes, and contact

Minnesota law governs my agreement with you, subject to mandatory protections where you live. You retain access to any court that applicable law entitles you to use. No mandatory arbitration or class-action waiver is imposed here. Unenforceable provisions do not invalidate the remaining lawful terms.

New versions apply to future orders or changes you expressly accept. The version agreed to for your existing order remains available in the legal archive. Email legal, support, and refund requests to hi@trysmush.app.
