END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
SlushBus Audio Plugin (VST3, CLAP, AU) -- BruceJames.studio

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE.
BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR USING SLUSHBUS YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE
TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. LICENSE GRANT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BruceJames.studio grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license
to install and use SlushBus (in any of its available formats: VST3, CLAP, AU)
on up to three (3) computers that you own or control, solely for audio
production, live performance, or evaluation purposes. A single license covers
all supported plugin formats for the same product.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. RESTRICTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may not:

  (a) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source
      code of the plugin by any means;
  (b) share, sell, sublicense, or distribute your license key or activation
      credentials to any third party;
  (c) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the software;
  (d) rent, lease, or lend the software to any third party;
  (e) remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices
      contained in or on the software.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. ACTIVATION AND MACHINE LIMITS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activation requires a valid license key issued by BruceJames.studio. Your key
may be activated on up to three (3) machines. If the software detects your key
active on more machines than permitted, BruceJames.studio reserves the right to
revoke or suspend the affected activation without prior notice. If you believe a
revocation was made in error, contact support@brucejames.studio and we will
review it promptly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. DATA COLLECTION AND NETWORK ACTIVITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When SlushBus is loaded in a DAW, it performs the following network operations:

  a. Usage ping. At most once per calendar day, a request is sent to
     BruceJames.studio's license server containing: the plugin name and version,
     your operating system name, and a non-reversible machine identifier (a
     one-way cryptographic hash derived from hardware and system properties).
     This identifier is not your name, email address, or any account information,
     and cannot reasonably be used to identify you as an individual. It is used
     solely to monitor activation counts and detect license abuse. You may
     disable this ping at any time by unchecking "Check for updates on startup"
     in the plugin's settings panel.

  b. Update check. The plugin contacts brucejames.studio to compare its version
     against the latest available release. No data from your system is
     transmitted; only a publicly available version file is downloaded. Both the
     update check and usage ping can be disabled together by unchecking
     "Check for updates on startup" in the plugin's settings panel.

Once registered, SlushBus operates completely offline. No internet connection
is required to load, process audio, or use any feature of the plugin after
activation.

No audio data, project data, personal information, or browsing activity is ever
collected or transmitted. All network requests use HTTPS. Data is never sold,
rented, or shared with third parties.

By installing or using this software you consent to the network operations
described above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
