These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the software distributed from andyotto.com ("the Apps") and of this website. The Apps are made and published by Andy Otto, an individual developer trading as a sole proprietor, contactable at support@andyotto.com.
By downloading, installing or using an App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to them, do not install or use the App.
1. Licence
Each App is licensed to you, not sold. Subject to these Terms, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the App on Mac computers that you own or control, for your own use.
You may not:
- redistribute, resell, rent, lease or sublicense the App;
- share, publish or resell a licence key issued to you;
- remove or alter any copyright or licensing notices;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- circumvent, disable or tamper with the App's licensing or trial mechanisms.
All intellectual property rights in the Apps remain with Andy Otto.
2. Free trials
Some Apps, including Flashback, are offered with a free trial period. The length of the trial is stated on the App's page on this website at the time you download it. No payment details are required to begin a trial.
When a trial ends, some or all features stop working until a licence is purchased. The App will tell you what has changed. A trial is offered once per person, and attempting to restart or extend a trial by reinstalling the App, altering your system clock, or by any similar means is a breach of these Terms.
3. Purchases, pricing and tax
Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record for the sale. Lemon Squeezy is responsible for billing and for collecting any applicable sales tax or VAT, and its own terms and privacy policy apply to the payment itself. Payment card details are handled by Lemon Squeezy and are never received or stored by Andy Otto.
Prices are shown at checkout in the applicable currency and may change at any time. A price change does not affect a licence you have already bought.
Where an App is described as a lifetime licence, that means a one-time payment with no recurring subscription, for the version line you purchased and for updates to it. It is not a guarantee that the App will be maintained, updated or supported indefinitely, and it does not entitle you to a future App sold separately.
4. Licence keys
After a successful purchase, a licence key is generated automatically and emailed to the address given at checkout. Keys are verified by the App on your own Mac, without contacting any server, so an App you have licensed continues to work regardless of the status of this website or of any store selling it.
Please keep your key. If you lose it, contact support@andyotto.com from the address used at purchase and it can be reissued. Because keys are verified offline, an issued key cannot be revoked remotely; sharing one is accordingly a breach of these Terms and not merely discouraged.
5. Refunds
If an App does not work for you, you may request a refund within 14 days of purchase by emailing support@andyotto.com with your order number. You do not need to give a reason.
Free trials are offered precisely so that you can determine whether an App suits you before paying, and you are encouraged to use them. Nothing in this section limits any statutory right to a refund that you may have under the consumer law of your own country.
6. Your responsibilities when using the Apps
You are responsible for using the Apps lawfully. This matters particularly for Flashback, which records the contents of your screen.
- You are responsible for ensuring that your use of screen recording complies with the laws of your jurisdiction, with your employer's policies if you use a work computer, and with any obligations of confidentiality you are under.
- You are responsible for the security of the recordings the App keeps on your Mac. They are stored locally, under your control, and Andy Otto has no access to them and cannot recover them.
- You should use the App's exclusion and deletion controls where the material on your screen belongs to somebody else, is confidential, or is otherwise something you should not retain.
You must not use the Apps to record another person without whatever consent your jurisdiction requires, or to capture information you are not entitled to hold.
7. Third-party and optional services
Some Apps offer optional features that send data to a third-party service, such as an AI provider, and require you to supply your own API key. These features are off by default. If you enable one, your use of that service is governed by that provider's own terms, you are responsible for any charges it bills you, and the data those features send leaves your machine. What is sent, and when, is described in the Privacy Policy.
8. Availability, updates and support
The Apps are provided on a best-effort basis by one person. Updates, new features and support are offered where reasonably practicable but are not guaranteed, and an App may be discontinued. Support is provided by email at support@andyotto.com and through the support page.
This website may be unavailable from time to time. Because licence verification happens on your own Mac, the availability of this website does not affect an App you have already licensed and installed.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The Apps are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Andy Otto does not warrant that an App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will capture, retain or recover any particular data.
The Apps are not a backup system. You should not rely on any App as the only copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Andy Otto shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Apps.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Apps shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for the App in question.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain liabilities, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11. Termination
Your licence terminates automatically if you materially breach these Terms. On termination you must stop using the App and remove it from your computers. You may stop using an App at any time by deleting it.
12. Changes to these Terms
These Terms may be updated from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will change when they are. Continuing to use an App after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Changes do not apply retroactively to a purchase already made.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, and the courts located in that state shall have jurisdiction. This does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer law of the country in which you live.
