End User License Agreement
In short
- You get a license to use the app on the Macs you personally own and use. You do not own the software itself.
- Keep your license key private. Sharing or reselling it ends the license.
- The app may change or be discontinued at any time, and updates and support are not guaranteed.
- The app is not made, endorsed, or supported by Apple Inc.
- Your statutory consumer rights are not affected by anything in this agreement.
1. Acceptance
This End User License Agreement ("EULA") is between you and Apple Crumble ("we", "us"), an independent software business operated from Australia. It covers the Apple Crumble application for macOS, including the Crumble Bar taskbar, Crumble Snap window management, the optional Crumble Ask add-on, and any updates we provide (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to this EULA. If you do not agree, do not install the App. Purchases are additionally governed by the Terms of Service and the Refund Policy, and data handling by the Privacy Policy.
2. License grant
Subject to this EULA and payment of the applicable fee, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the App, in one of the following forms:
- Trial license: Crumble Bar and Crumble Snap for 7 days from first launch, free of charge, for evaluation.
- Subscription license: the features included in your plan for as long as your subscription is paid and active. When the subscription ends, paid features stop working.
- One-time ("Own It") license: the features included in the product you bought, for as long as you like, together with any update entitlement described at checkout. Other updates, if any, are at our discretion.
A license covers the Macs you personally own and use, up to the number of seats purchased. Optional add-ons (such as Crumble Ask) are licensed only if included in your license's entitlements.
3. License keys and activation
- Your license key is personal to you. Do not share, publish, sell, or transfer it.
- Activation contacts our license server and records a one-way hash of your Mac's hardware identifier to enforce seat counts. You can deactivate a Mac to free a seat.
- We may revoke keys that are shared or resold, obtained fraudulently, subject to a chargeback, or refunded.
- The App verifies its license receipt locally and periodically revalidates with our server when a connection is available.
4. Restrictions
Except as expressly permitted by this EULA or by law that cannot be excluded, you must not:
- copy the App other than for reasonable backup, or distribute, publish, rent, lease, lend, sell, or sublicense it;
- modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent such acts are permitted by applicable law despite this restriction (for example for interoperability);
- circumvent, disable, or tamper with the trial, licensing, activation, or update mechanisms;
- remove or alter any proprietary notices;
- use the App to violate any law or the rights of others.
5. System permissions
The App asks for the macOS Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions to draw window previews, manage windows, and provide global hotkeys. Everything these permissions expose is processed on your Mac. The App does not upload, store remotely, or share your screen contents, window titles, keystrokes, or files. See the Privacy Policy for details.
6. Updates
The App may check for and offer updates using the Sparkle framework. Updates are provided at our discretion and may add, change, or remove features. We are under no obligation to provide updates, maintenance, or new versions, except for the service already paid for under an active subscription. Some future major versions may be offered as separate paid upgrades.
7. Third-party services and components
- Crumble Ask connects to Anthropic's Claude API using an API key you obtain from Anthropic and store on your Mac. Your use of that API, including fees and data handling, is between you and Anthropic. AI output can be wrong; evaluate it before relying on it.
- Open-source components (such as the Sparkle updater) are included under their own licenses, which are available in the App's acknowledgements.
- macOS is provided by Apple Inc. under your agreement with Apple. Changes Apple makes to macOS may affect or break App functionality, which is outside our control.
8. Availability and discontinuation
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App, any feature of it, or any supporting service (including license activation, update delivery, and support) at any time and at any stage of the product's life. Updates and support are not guaranteed. If the App is discontinued, installed and licensed copies will continue to run offline to the extent the software and your version of macOS allow, but continued compatibility with future operating system releases is not guaranteed. Nothing in this section limits your non-excludable statutory rights.
9. Ownership
The App is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the App, including all intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to you other than those expressly stated in this EULA.
10. Warranty disclaimer
Statutory guarantees that cannot be excluded, including those under the Australian Consumer Law, are not affected by this section. Otherwise, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with any particular hardware or future version of macOS.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, and always subject to your non-excludable statutory rights: we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption arising out of or related to the App; and our total aggregate liability under this EULA is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim arose and AUD $50. Where liability can be limited but not excluded, it is limited, at our option, to resupplying the software or paying the cost of resupply.
12. Termination
This EULA is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you materially breach it, including by sharing license keys or circumventing licensing. You may terminate it at any time by deleting the App. On termination you must stop using the App and delete all copies; sections 9 to 14 survive. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as set out in the Refund Policy or required by law.
13. General
- Governing law: this EULA is governed by the laws of Australia, and disputes are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Australian courts. Mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence are unaffected.
- Severability: if any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
- No waiver: failing to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment: you may not assign this EULA; we may assign it as part of a sale or reorganisation of the business.
- Entire agreement: this EULA, the Terms of Service, the Refund Policy, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about the App.
- Legal compliance: you must comply with all laws that apply to your use of the App, including any applicable export laws.
