Your purchase is also subject to Paddle's Buyer Terms. We never see or store your full card details.

4. Licence

After a successful purchase you receive a licence key for the product you bought (SoundEQ Pro or Jukebox Pro) by email. Keys are checked offline on your computer, and a key for one product does not unlock the other. The key is for your personal use on computers you own or control. You may not resell, share publicly, or redistribute licence keys, or attempt to reverse engineer, crack or bypass the licensing. The software is licensed, not sold; Gear Shadow Games retains all intellectual property rights.

5. Delivery

Licence keys are delivered by email to the address you give at checkout, normally within a few minutes. If your key has not arrived within 24 hours, check your spam folder, then contact contact@gearshadowgames.com with your order number.

6. Refunds

You can request a refund within 14 days of purchase. See our Refund Policy for details. Refunds are processed by Paddle.

7. System requirements

SoundEQ requires Windows. Per-application EQ requires Windows 11 and a free virtual audio cable (for example, VB-Audio VB-Cable). Jukebox requires Windows. YouTube playback in Jukebox uses YouTube's official embedded player, needs an internet connection, and is subject to YouTube's Terms of Service; YouTube features are free and not part of Jukebox Pro. Please try the free version before buying Pro to confirm it works on your system.

8. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The software is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability for any claim relating to a purchase is limited to the amount you paid. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

9. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force at the time of your purchase applies to that purchase.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you also benefit from any mandatory protections of the country where you live.
