End User License Agreement

1.1 “Software” means the Lush Reverb audio plug‑in in any of its formats (VST3, Audio Unit, LV2, or Standalone application), together with associated documentation, presets, sounds, sample content, artwork, and any updates or upgrades that Licensor chooses to make available to You.

1.2 “License” means the rights granted to You under Section 02.

1.3 “Activation” means the process of registering the Software on a specific computer using a valid license code issued by Licensor.

1.4 “Authorized Computer” means a computer that has been successfully activated with Your license code.

1.5 “Trial Version”means an unactivated copy of the Software running in time‑limited evaluation mode as described in Section 03.

1.6 “Privacy Policy” means the privacy policy published at gorilladsp.com/privacy/, as updated from time to time.

2.1Subject to Your payment of the applicable license fee and Your continuing compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants You a non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, non‑sublicensable, revocable personal license to install, activate, and use the Software for Your own use, on up to five (5) Authorized Computers owned or primarily controlled by You, the individual purchaser.

2.2You may install the Software on additional computers solely for backup or archival purposes, provided that no more than five (5) copies are activated and used at any given time.

2.3 If the Software was purchased by a single legal entity rather than an individual, the License extends to a single named human user employed by or contracted to that entity, provided that individual is the sole user of all Authorized Computers. Site licenses, multi‑seat licenses, and bundled enterprise terms are available separately by written agreement with Licensor.

3.1Licensor may make a Trial Version of the Software available at no charge for evaluation purposes only. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Licensor grants You a non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, non‑sublicensable, revocable personal license to install and use the Trial Version on a single computer for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days from first launch (“Trial Period”).

3.2The Trial Period begins automatically when the Software is first launched and is measured by an internal timestamp that is encrypted and bound to Your computer. Attempting to circumvent the Trial Period — including, without limitation, by altering Your system clock, removing or modifying license files, or activating the Software on a fresh operating‑system installation for the purpose of restarting the Trial Period — constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and immediately terminates Your rights to use the Trial Version.

3.3 Upon expiry of the Trial Period, the Software will cease to process audio until a valid license code is entered. The Trial Version is provided strictly for personal evaluation. Use of the Trial Version in commercial recordings, public performances, broadcast, or any other commercial activity is prohibited.

3.4Licensor may, from time to time, issue licenses designated as “Beta”, “NFR” (Not For Resale), “Press”, “Educational”, or “Complimentary”. Such licenses are governed by all terms of this Agreement, with the following modifications: (a) they are non‑transferable under any circumstances, including the transfer process described in Section 08; (b) they may be revoked by Licensor at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice (including by email); (c) Beta and pre‑release Software is provided strictly for testing and evaluation, may contain bugs or unfinished features, and shall not be used for production work or distributed to any third party; and (d) Educational licenses may be used only by the qualifying student, faculty member, or accredited institution, and lose validity upon the end of the qualifying status.

3.5All other terms of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 04 (Restrictions), 11 (Disclaimer of Warranty), and 12 (Limitation of Liability), apply equally to Trial, Beta, NFR, Press, Educational, and Complimentary licenses.

You shall NOT, and shall not permit any third party to:

• 4.1 Copy, reproduce, or distribute the Software, in whole or in part, except as expressly permitted by Section 2.2.
• 4.2 Sell, resell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, assign, or otherwise transfer the Software, the License, or any license code issued under it to any third party, except as permitted by Section 08.
• 4.3 Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, or underlying ideas of the Software, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this restriction.
• 4.4 Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software, including but not limited to repackaging the Software inside a wrapper plug‑in or hosting environment for the purpose of redistribution.
• 4.5 Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, license, or other proprietary notices contained in or displayed by the Software.
• 4.6 Distribute, share, or publish any license code, activation response, or other credential issued by Licensor.
• 4.7 Use the Software in any manner that violates applicable law, including, without limitation, laws governing copyright, export control, data protection, or sanctions.
• 4.8 Use the Software, or any part of it, on a server or in any automated, hosted, “as‑a‑service”, or cloud‑rendering capacity in which the Software’s audio processing is offered to third parties, including but not limited to online mastering services, automated mixing services, or audio‑rendering APIs, without a separate written agreement with Licensor.
• 4.9 Use the Software, or any output thereof, to design, develop, train, or improve a product or service that competes with the Software, including by way of clean‑room reimplementation, machine‑learning training corpora, or comparative analysis intended for the development of substitutable products.
• 4.10 Publish, distribute, or otherwise make available any benchmarks, performance comparisons, A/B comparisons, or critical‑listening shootouts that compare the Software against any other product, without first providing Licensor a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the methodology; this restriction shall not be construed to limit good‑faith editorial review or any right of fair comment protected by applicable law.

5.1 The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, and other intellectual‑property rights therein. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in this Agreement, no rights are granted to You by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

5.2The names “Gorilla DSP” and “Lush Reverb”, together with any associated logos and visual identity, are trademarks of Licensor. You acquire no rights in those marks under this Agreement.

5.3 Audio output produced by the Software is fully owned by You. Nothing in this Agreement grants Licensor any rights in recordings, compositions, or other works that You create using the Software.

6.1The Software requires online Activation through a license server operated by Licensor. During Activation and at certain subsequent license‑management events, the Software transmits a one‑way cryptographically hashed identifier of Your computer (“Machine ID Hash”), Your operating‑system platform identifier, Your computer’s host name, and Your license code to the license server for verification. No other identifying information is transmitted by the Software.

6.2 Once activated, the Software performs license verification locally and does not require a continuous internet connection.

6.3The aggregate number of simultaneously Authorized Computers per license code is limited to five (5). If You wish to activate the Software on a sixth computer, You must first contact Licensor’s support to deactivate one of the existing Authorized Computers. Licensor will accommodate reasonable deactivation requests in good faith and at no additional charge.

6.4 Each license code is also subject to a lifetime cap on the total number of activations across all computers. The cap is intentionally generous and is intended solely to deter automated abuse. Should You reach the cap through legitimate use, Licensor will reset Your activation count upon reasonable request.

7.1Licensor processes a limited set of technical data necessary to operate the Software’s licensing functionality. The categories of data processed are exhaustively listed in Section 6.1. Licensor does not collect, store, or process any audio content, project files, presets You author, plug‑in parameter values, or other creative work product.

7.2Licensor engages third‑party cloud‑infrastructure providers as sub‑processors to operate its license‑verification systems. Personal data described in Section 6.1 may be processed in, or transferred to, the United States. A current overview of categories of sub‑processors and the safeguards applied to international data transfers is set out in the Privacy Policy.

7.3Licensor’s lawful bases for processing license‑verification data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, “GDPR”) and equivalent legislation are (a) performance of this Agreement and (b) Licensor’s legitimate interests in preventing fraud and enforcing the seat‑count limits set out in Section 06.

7.4You have rights as a data subject under the GDPR and other applicable data‑protection laws, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. Information about how to exercise these rights, applicable retention periods, and additional detail regarding Licensor’s data processing is set out in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Privacy Policy regarding data‑protection matters, the Privacy Policy shall control.

8.1 You may make a one‑time, permanent transfer of Your License to another individual, provided that:

1. You first notify Licensor in writing using the contact information in Section 15;
2. You uninstall the Software from all of Your Authorized Computers and request deactivation of Your license code;
3. The recipient agrees in writing to the terms of this Agreement; and
4. You retain no copies of the Software or any associated license code.

8.2 Licensor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to charge a reasonable administrative fee for license transfers. Transfers of Trial, Beta, NFR, Press, Educational, or Complimentary licenses are not permitted under any circumstances.

9.1Licensor may, at its sole discretion, make available updates, upgrades, bug fixes, patches, or new versions of the Software (“Updates”). Updates within the same major version of the Software (for example, version 1.x to a later 1.y) are provided at no additional charge to existing License holders. New major versions (for example, version 1.x to version 2.0) may be made available at Licensor’s then‑current upgrade pricing. Updates are governed by this Agreement unless they are accompanied by a separate license agreement, in which case that separate agreement controls.

9.2Licensor has no obligation to provide Updates, technical support, or maintenance under this Agreement. Where support is provided, it is offered at Licensor’s sole discretion and subject to availability.

10.1 This Agreement is effective upon Your first installation, Activation, or use of the Software, and continues until terminated.

10.2 This Agreement, and Your License under it, will terminate automatically and without notice if You fail to comply with any material term. Licensor may also terminate this Agreement upon written notice if You become insolvent or file for bankruptcy.

10.3 Upon termination, You shall immediately cease all use of the Software, uninstall all copies from all of Your Authorized Computers, and destroy any remaining copies in Your possession.

10.4Sections 04, 05, 07, 9.2, 10.3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 survive termination of this Agreement.

LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR BE FREE OF ERRORS, THAT IT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY PARTICULAR HOST APPLICATION, OPERATING SYSTEM, OR HARDWARE CONFIGURATION, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED.

YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE.

12.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12.2LICENSOR’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO LICENSOR FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

12.3 The limitations in this Section apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, in which case the foregoing limitations shall apply only to the extent permitted by such jurisdictions.

You may not download, export, or re‑export the Software (a) into any country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or (b) to any person or entity on the U.S. Treasury Department’s List of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Person’s List or Entity List, or (c) in violation of any other applicable export‑control law or regulation. By installing or using the Software, You represent and warrant that You are not located in any such country and are not on any such list.

14.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, United States of America, without regard to its conflict‑of‑laws rules, and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

14.2 Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in the State of West Virginia, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

14.3 You and Licensor each waive any right to a jury trial in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Notices to Licensor under this Agreement shall be sent by email to Licensor at the address below. Licensor may give notice to You by email to the address You provided at the time of license purchase or activation, or by posting on Licensor’s website.

Because the Software is delivered electronically and may be copied indefinitely once received, all sales are final and no refunds are issued once a license code has been delivered to You, except where required by applicable consumer‑protection law (including, without limitation, the right of withdrawal under EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU and the United Kingdom Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 for unused, unactivated licenses, exercised within fourteen (14) days of purchase).

17.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between You and Licensor regarding the Software and supersedes all prior agreements and communications, whether written or oral, regarding the same subject matter.

17.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

17.3 No Waiver.Licensor’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or of Licensor’s right to enforce it later.

17.4 Assignment.You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, except as expressly permitted by Section 08. Licensor may freely assign this Agreement.

17.5 No Third‑Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of You and Licensor and their permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

17.6 Equitable Relief.You acknowledge that any breach of Sections 04, 05, or 06 by You would cause Licensor irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that Licensor is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, without the necessity of posting bond.

17.7 Headings. Section headings are provided for convenience only and have no substantive effect.

17.8 Updates to this Agreement. Licensor may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by posting the revised Agreement at gorilladsp.com/eula/ and updating the Effective Date above. Your continued use of the Software after a revision becomes effective constitutes Your acceptance of the revised Agreement.
