SineWav — Product Add-on

Add-on to the Red Warden Studios Master Terms of Service & EULA, Privacy Policy, and Refund Policy. For SineWav only, where this Add-on conflicts with the master, this Add-on controls (but only where it says so under "Overrides").

1. Activation and activation limit

• (a) Products and License Keys. Each SineWav product (a single plugin or a bundle) is a separate purchase with its own License Key. A bundle licenses each plugin it contains under one key. Owning the same plugin through more than one product does not reduce or conflict with any of Your licenses.
• (b) Activating. Pasting a License Key into the SineWav app and choosing Add license activates that PC.
• (c) Activation limit. Each License Key allows three (3) activations at a time; each activation is one PC. You can free an activation at any time from the SineWav app, from the My activations page, or by contacting support. Red Warden may limit or refuse activations that indicate a key is being shared.
• (d) No trial. The installer is free to download. A plugin that is not activated passes audio through unchanged and does nothing else. That is not a trial, and installing without a License Key grants no license to use a plugin's processing.
• (e) Major versions. A license covers the major version of each plugin You bought (for example, version 1.x), including updates to that major version that Red Warden releases. A future major version may be offered as a separate product.

2. Online or offline

The SineWav plugins never connect to the internet. They read Your license from a signed file on Your PC. The SineWav app connects to the internet only to:

• Activate or deactivate a PC, and show Your activations (Section 1).
• Refresh Your licenses from time to time, or when You choose Check now. If You are offline, it keeps the license file You already have.
• Check for updates (Section 6).

Once a PC is activated, the plugins work offline and the activation does not expire. SineWav contains no telemetry, usage analytics, crash reporting, or advertising, and nothing in SineWav sends Your audio anywhere.

3. Data the product touches

Stays on Your PC (never collected by Red Warden):

• Your audio. The plugins process it on Your PC only.
• Your presets and settings.
• Your full License Keys and a signed license file, stored in %ProgramData%\Red Warden Studios\SineWav\ so the plugins can read them without going online. Every user account on that PC can read these files, including the full keys. The license file lists the plugins You own, a hash of Your machine identifier, and the last few characters of each key.

Sent to Red Warden — license actions only:

• When You add a license, deactivate a PC, view Your activations, or the app refreshes Your licenses, the SineWav app sends Red Warden's license service (a small program running on Cloudflare) Your License Key, a machine identifier the app derives from Your PC, Your PC's Windows computer name (the label that tells Your PCs apart in Your activations list), and, to deactivate or refresh, the activation's ID.
• The license service keeps an activation record: SHA-256 digests of the License Key and machine identifier (not the plain values), the computer name, the activation date, and the activation's ID. That record enforces the activation limit and lists Your PCs. Deactivating a PC removes it from the list.
• To check, activate, or deactivate a license, the service sends the License Key, and the computer name as the activation's label, to our merchant of record, Creem, which issued the key and keeps the purchase record under its own privacy notice.
• The service keeps short operational logs to diagnose faults and prevent abuse; Cloudflare keeps them for no more than 7 days. Like any website, Cloudflare sees the IP address a request comes from.
• The My activations page sends Your License Key from Your browser directly to the license service, in the body of a secure request rather than in the page address. The website does not store it, and the page carries no analytics.
• Update checks ask the license service for the list of current versions and send none of the items above.

Keeping and deleting. Activation records are kept while they are needed to operate Your license and its activation limit, unless the law requires longer. To ask for deletion, email support@redwardenstudios.com; we will explain what can be deleted, what Creem keeps under its own policy, and the effect on Your license. A deactivation or refund takes effect in the plugins the next time the SineWav app refreshes Your licenses.

No account with Red Warden is required.

4. Third-party services and user-supplied API keys

• No API keys. SineWav uses no third-party AI or online services and needs no API key.
• Host software. The plugins run inside host applications made by others (digital audio workstations, and OBS Studio through the free atkAudio plugin host). That software is governed by its own terms. Red Warden is not affiliated with it and is not responsible for it.
• Service providers: Creem (purchases and licenses) and Cloudflare (the license service), as described in Section 3.

5. AI features

• Uses AI: No AI service. SineWav NS removes noise with a small noise-suppression model that runs entirely on Your PC; no audio or other content is sent anywhere. Master Section 9 does not apply.

6. Updates

• The SineWav app checks for a new version quietly when You sign in to Windows, and shows the result when You open it, by asking Red Warden's license service. The request carries nothing about You beyond what any web request does.
• When an update is available, the app shows Update available with a list of what changed. An update installs only when You choose Install update. Close Your DAW and OBS first.
• Master Section 11 applies.

7. Refund rule

Per master: all sales are final (master Refund Policy Section 1), except where the law requires otherwise.

• Before You buy: the installer is a free download, so You can confirm the plugins load in Your host, and the SineWav page has before-and-after audio. System requirements and each plugin's latency are published on the SineWav page.
• Delivery/activation support: if You do not receive Your License Key, it will not activate, or all of Your activations are in use on PCs You no longer have, contact support@redwardenstudios.com (master Refund Policy Section 4).
• System requirements: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a host that loads VST3 plugins. SineWav is not available for macOS. A mismatch with these published requirements does not qualify for a discretionary refund; this does not affect any right You have under applicable law.
• Separate purchases: each product is a separate purchase. A plugin bought on its own is not currently credited toward a bundle.
• If a refund is issued or a payment is finally reversed: the license for that product ends, and its plugins return to passing audio through unchanged the next time the SineWav app refreshes Your licenses.

8. Extra restrictions

License protection. SineWav protects its activation with a signed local license file. Master Section 7(d) (no circumventing license enforcement) applies to it and to the activation limit.

Live use. Some plugins add a small, fixed processing delay (latency), published on the SineWav page. Before using SineWav in a live broadcast or performance, test Your full setup.

9. Open-source details

SineWav is proprietary. It includes third-party open-source components, among them the RNNoise library (BSD 3-Clause License), the JUCE framework, and the Monocypher library, under their own licenses. Their notices ship with the installed software, are shown in each plugin's About panel, and are published on the SineWav third-party notices page. The authors of those components do not endorse SineWav. Master Section 4 applies to them.

10. Overrides of the master

• (a) Commercial use of Your audio (overrides master Section 3, for SineWav only). You may use the SineWav plugins for personal or commercial purposes, and You may use audio processed with SineWav for any lawful purpose, including live streams, recordings, broadcasts, podcasts, videos, and commercial music releases, without further fees or royalties to Red Warden. You retain all rights in Your audio, presets and settings.
• (b) Chargebacks (overrides master Section 5(g) and Section 14(b)(iii), for SineWav only). You may contact Your payment provider about a charge at any time, and contacting us first is not required to exercise a payment-dispute right. If a payment is finally reversed and not restored, the license for that product ends as described in Section 7.
