Your 14-day free trial
Muse comes with a full 14-day free trial. Every feature is unlocked, and you do not enter any payment details to start. When the trial ends the app locks until you buy a licence. Your library, however, always remains yours: you can export everything you have collected at any time, before or after the trial ends. Your files are never held hostage. If you started your trial before Muse 1.0.42, you keep the full 30 days.
Your licence
You must be at least 18, or have a parent or guardian's permission, to buy Muse. When you buy Muse you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for your own personal use. Your purchase includes every future update, free, for as long as you use Muse. There is no subscription and no account; it is a one-time purchase.
The companion browser clipper extension is a free part of Muse. It does nothing on its own and is covered by this same licence and the Privacy Policy.
What you may not do
- Redistribute, resell, sublicense, rent or lend Muse or your licence key.
- Share your licence key publicly.
- Reverse-engineer Muse to circumvent licensing. (Studying how it works for your own curiosity is fine; defeating the licence is not.)
Price and payment
Muse is a one-time purchase of $29. Payment is handled by Polar.sh, who act as the merchant of record. That means Polar calculates, collects and remits any sales tax or VAT due in your country, so the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. Your card details are handled by Polar and never touch our servers.
Refunds
If Muse isn't right for you, email support@theodorehq.com within 14 days of buying and we'll refund you in full.
This is separate from your statutory rights below, which always apply.
Your statutory rights (Consumer Rights Act 2015)
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the digital content you buy must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described on this website. If it is not, you are entitled to repair, replacement, a price reduction or a refund as the law provides. These statutory rights override anything in this document, and nothing here removes them.
To make a claim, email support@theodorehq.com. We respond within 14 days.
Product updates and newsletter
When you buy, you can tick an optional box to get the THEODORE HQ newsletter. It is unticked unless you tick it. You can also sign up on our website. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to any of our emails, and every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. Ticking the box is entirely optional and does not affect your purchase. Lawful basis: your consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the UK GDPR.
App updates
Muse checks for updates automatically, about once a day and once shortly after it opens, through Apple's Sparkle framework, and installs them with your permission. Every future update is included free.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for any claim connected with Muse is limited to the amount you paid for your licence. We do not limit or exclude liability for fraud, for gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that UK law does not permit us to limit, including your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Ending your licence
We may revoke a licence if it was obtained by fraud, if a chargeback is raised without contacting us first to resolve the issue, or in the case of a wilful breach of these terms (for example, distributing your key). We will always try to reach you first. If you simply stop using Muse, nothing happens; your library is already on your Mac (and in your own iCloud, if you turned on sync), and you can export it at any time.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing here removes any right you have to bring proceedings in the country where you live, if your local consumer-protection law gives you that right.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms we will update the date at the top and, for material changes, email active customers at least fourteen days before they take effect. Changes that reduce your rights do not apply retroactively to purchases already made.
Contact
If anything is unclear, or there is a problem with your purchase, email support@theodorehq.com and a member of our team will help.
