Terms and Conditions

Last updated: November 4, 2026.

1. Scope

These terms apply to the software, plug-ins and licenses of proDAD GmbH, Gauertstr. 2, 78194 Immendingen, Germany (“proDAD”), and to direct business under section 7. A “consumer” is a natural person acting predominantly for private purposes; a “business” acts in the exercise of its trade or independent professional activity.

Deviating terms of the customer apply only if proDAD expressly agrees to them in writing.

2. Purchase via FastSpring

Orders in proDAD’s online shop are processed by FastSpring. FastSpring is the seller and contractual partner of the purchase (reseller, “Merchant of Record”); for the EU this is generally FastSpring B.V., Amsterdam. Purchase, payment, invoicing and withdrawal are governed by the FastSpring Terms of Sale, including the cancellation information given there. Questions about payments and invoices are answered by FastSpring buyer support.

proDAD is the manufacturer of the software and grants the right of use under section 3. By ordering, the customer confirms having taken note of these license terms. For refunds see the refund policy.

3. License terms

3.1 Right of use. Upon full payment the customer receives a simple, non-exclusive right, unlimited in time (limited to the purchased term for time-limited licenses), to use the software as intended. The software itself is not sold; all rights remain with proDAD or its licensors.

3.2 Scope. A license code may be activated on one computer at a time. A plug-in code applies to the editing application or product family named at purchase. When changing computers, the activation can be reset to a reasonable extent (via the support form).

3.3 Activation. The full version must be activated online with the license code. The data listed in the privacy policy are transmitted. Without activation the software runs only as a trial version.

3.4 Upgrades. An upgrade requires a qualifying older version as stated in the offer. The new license replaces the old one; both may not be used on different computers.

3.5 Not permitted in particular: publishing, copying or reselling individual license codes; circumventing activation or other protection measures; renting the software; decompiling, disassembling or modifying it except where mandatorily permitted by law (Sections 69d, 69e German Copyright Act); removing copyright or trademark notices.

3.6 Transfer. Consumers may transfer a permanently acquired license as a whole to a third party if they completely remove the software from their computers and the third party accepts these terms. The transfer must be notified to proDAD via the support form so that the activation can be transferred.

3.7 Violations. In the event of serious violations of section 3.5, proDAD may block the license code concerned; further claims remain unaffected.

4. Trial versions

Trial versions are free of charge and serve to check before purchase whether the software works with your own computer, editing application and footage. Results of the trial version carry a watermark. For free trial versions proDAD is liable only under Section 521 German Civil Code (intent and gross negligence) and under section 6 sentence 3.

Please use the trial version to check the system requirements and the version of your editing application before purchase.

5. Warranty

5.1 Consumers. The statutory rights for defects of digital products apply (Sections 327 et seq. German Civil Code), including the statutory obligation to provide updates necessary to keep the product in conformity. Rights against the seller FastSpring exist under its terms; proDAD supports the resolution of technical errors via the support form.

5.2 Businesses. Section 7.4 applies to businesses.

5.3 In particular, malfunctions are not defects if they occur on computers that do not meet the stated system requirements, or in versions of editing applications not stated as supported, or are caused by changes made by manufacturers of operating systems or editing applications after purchase, insofar as proDAD is not legally obliged to adapt the software.

6. Liability

proDAD is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and to the extent of any guarantee given. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible and on whose observance the customer may regularly rely), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

proDAD is liable for loss of data only to the extent that would have occurred with customary, regular data backup by the customer. Please back up your projects and original footage before editing.

These limitations also apply to proDAD’s employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

7. Direct business with companies

7.1 Scope. The following additional provisions apply to contracts concluded directly between proDAD and businesses (e.g. resellers, distributors, corporate customers, delivery against proDAD invoice). proDAD does not conclude contracts with consumers directly; consumers buy via FastSpring (section 2).

7.2 Conclusion and delivery. proDAD’s offers are non-binding. The contract is concluded by order confirmation or delivery of the license codes. Delivery is made by sending the license codes or a download link by e-mail.

7.3 Prices and payment. The agreed prices plus statutory VAT apply. Invoices are payable without deduction within 14 days of the invoice date. Until full payment, all rights to the licenses remain with proDAD; proDAD may block unpaid license codes. Resellers may pass on licenses only in the ordinary course of business.

7.4 Defects. Obvious defects must be notified in text form within 7 days of delivery (Section 377 German Commercial Code remains unaffected). At its option proDAD provides supplementary performance by fixing the error, a workaround or a new version. Claims for defects become time-barred 12 months after delivery, except in the cases of unlimited liability under section 6 sentence 1.

7.5 Liability. Section 6 applies, provided that liability for slightly negligent breach of essential obligations is limited per incident to the amount the customer paid for the licenses concerned; liability for lost profit and indirect damage is excluded in the case of slight negligence.

7.6 Place of jurisdiction. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes with merchants, legal entities under public law and special funds under public law is the registered office of proDAD GmbH. proDAD may also sue at the customer’s registered office.

8. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection of mandatory provisions of the country of their habitual residence.

proDAD is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Should any provision be invalid, the remainder of the contract remains valid; the statutory provision replaces the invalid one.
