Buy it once. Pay for new features only if you want them.
Bug fixes are part of the product you bought, not a subscription. New work is paid for by the people who want it, a year at a time, and you can stop whenever you like and keep what you have.

What a release does to your licence
Bug-fix releases always reach you. Feature releases reach you while an Update Pass is active, or after a major upgrade. A subscription gets every release.
The terms, in plain words
What does "bug fixes forever" mean?
Every bug-fix release of the major version you bought is yours, for as long as Verity exists. A bug-fix release changes no features. If we ship it, you get it. No expiry, no re-purchase.
What is a new-feature release?
A release whose notes add capability: a new output protocol, a new view, a new DSP stage. Those are paid for by the Update Pass (€19 a year) or a one-off major upgrade (€29). The update check asks the licence server what your key may install before it offers anything, so you are never surprised by a build you cannot use.
I stop paying the Update Pass. What happens?
Nothing dramatic. You keep the last version you were entitled to and every bug-fix release for that major version. You can pick the pass up again later.
How many computers?
A licence key allows 3 activations at once (Founder and subscription 5, demo 2). An activation is an installed server or desktop player. An activation that has been silent for 30 days is freed automatically, so reinstalling never eats a slot, and you can release one yourself from the account page.
Do the phone and tablet apps need a licence?
No. The iPhone, iPad and Android apps, and the desktop app in client mode, connect to your licensed system and never need a key of their own. Ten of them can connect per licence; ten more cost €15 once, as often as you need.
Does it phone home?
Once at activation, then at most once a day while online, and only when the 14-day signed token is within 3 days of expiry does it need to. It sends the key, a device fingerprint (a hash), the device name you chose, platform and version. Never anything about the music.
What if the internet is down?
The token keeps working until it expires. Playback only locks after 14 days with no successful check, and it says why.
Refunds?
14 days from purchase, no questions, as EU consumer law requires and as we would want ourselves. Demo first if you are unsure.
Which platforms?
Windows today (0.1.1). macOS and Linux later on the same core. A licence is per person, not per platform.
VAT and currency?
Prices are in EUR. VAT is added at checkout where applicable. The payment provider is not connected yet; orders placed now are recorded and settled by hand (see the account page).
