Tempo Terms of Use and Pro Licence

Draft for the test build · Version 2026-10-25

These draft terms describe the current test app and intended paid offering. No real payment is taken by the test checkout. They must be reviewed and the production purchase flow completed before paid launch.

1. Who provides Tempo

Tempo is provided by indiefalcon. For questions, licence help or cancellation requests, email [email protected]. Feedback is welcome at [email protected].

2. Free features and Pro

The free app includes three-finger volume swipes and three-finger speaker mute taps on the built-in trackpad and Apple Magic Trackpad. Trackpad sensitivity, the native volume indicator and startup preferences remain free.

Pro adds Magic Mouse volume and speaker mute gestures, trackpad microphone mute and the choice to use four fingers for trackpad volume and speaker mute instead of three. Each input device has its own sensitivity setting. Microphone mute requires an audio device that supports a mute control.

Features and compatibility are described in the app and the offer shown before purchase. Please try the free app on your Mac before buying. Test licences and development previews are not proof of a paid purchase.

3. Your licence

You may use the free features on compatible Macs you own or control. The free app is licensed, not sold.

A Pro purchase grants a personal, non-exclusive licence to use the purchased Pro offering on up to two Macs you own or control. It does not transfer ownership of the software. Keep the licence key private; do not publish it or share it to bypass the activation limit.

Initial activation needs an internet connection. The app sends the licence key, an installation ID and a hashed Mac identifier to the activation service. It then saves a signed certificate locally so the activated Pro features can work offline. Returning the app to Free removes the local certificate but does not release a server activation slot. Contact support if you need help with the two-Mac limit or replacing a Mac.

We may refuse further activations of a key involved in fraud, unauthorised sharing or an activation vulnerability. Existing offline installations are not currently remotely deactivated. This does not limit rights you have under applicable law.

4. Price and updates

Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. The applicable price and any taxes are shown at checkout. The test checkout price is not a commitment to the launch price.

Future major Pro upgrades may be offered as optional separate purchases. Buying Pro does not promise every future major upgrade for free. If you buy shortly before a new major Pro release, a free upgrade will be available under the grace-period rules announced for that release. The exact grace period is not yet set for this test build.

Update checks can be started manually or enabled in Settings. Updates are downloaded from our update hosting when configured. An update should preserve preferences and saved activation, but keep a copy of your key and contact support if something goes wrong.

5. Compatibility and permissions

The current app targets macOS 14 or later on compatible Apple hardware. Availability of gestures, native volume feedback and mute controls depends on macOS, the connected hardware, output/input support and permissions. The app uses macOS multitouch interfaces that are not public APIs; Apple may change or remove them in future macOS releases.

We do not guarantee compatibility with every Mac, audio device or future macOS release, or promise indefinite support. Check release-specific compatibility information before updating macOS. Changes by Apple do not automatically create an additional voluntary refund entitlement, but they do not remove any mandatory consumer rights.

You control the macOS permissions needed for native volume events and mouse scroll filtering. Without them some actions may be unavailable. A microphone mute indicator is not a guarantee that every recording or conferencing app has stopped receiving audio; verify the selected input and its mute support.

6. Cancellations and refunds

We do not offer an additional change-of-mind money-back guarantee. This does not exclude statutory cancellation rights or remedies for faulty, misdescribed or otherwise non-conforming digital content.

Where UK distance-selling rules apply, the usual cancellation period for a digital-content purchase is 14 days from the contract. That cancellation right can end once supply begins only where you have first expressly requested immediate supply and acknowledged the loss of that right, and we provide the required confirmation. Acceptance of these terms or activation alone is not that separate acknowledgement. The test checkout does not yet implement this production cancellation process.

If a cancellation right applies, email [email protected] with your order reference, purchase date and a clear statement that you wish to cancel. You may use: “I give notice that I cancel my Tempo Pro purchase. Order reference: __. Ordered on: __. Name: __. Contact email: __. Date: __.” You do not have to use this wording.

If the app is faulty or does not match its description, contact us so we can investigate and provide the remedy required by law, which may include repair, replacement, a price reduction or a refund. Those rights are not limited to 14 days. Customers in other countries retain any mandatory protections that apply to them.

7. Optional support through Buy Me a Coffee

Buy Me a Coffee contributions are voluntary support and do not purchase or activate Pro. Its own terms, privacy policy and payment/refund rules apply to use of its service. Contact us about support you have sent; nothing here excludes rights that apply to that transaction.

8. Responsible use and liability

Use the app lawfully. Do not redistribute it as your own product, resell shared licence access or circumvent the Pro activation restrictions. These restrictions do not prevent activities that applicable law permits despite a contractual restriction.

We are responsible for loss or damage to the extent required by applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or death or personal injury caused by negligence. These terms do not waive your consumer rights.

9. Changes and contact

We may revise these terms for future releases and purchases. Material changes will be explained; publishing revised wording does not retrospectively remove rights attached to an existing purchase. Keep the terms supplied with your purchase. Questions: [email protected].
