1. Scope and provider
These terms apply to VolumeKeys provided by Studiomood Ltd, Gon.Tagm. Dim. Pouliou & Kost. Pantelidi, MELINA COURT, 2nd floor, 8011, Paphos, Cyprus, registration number HE 495191.
For purchases, Link, LLC, formerly Lemon Squeezy LLC, which operates the Lemon Squeezy service (“Lemon Squeezy”), acts as merchant of record and contractual seller for payment, tax, invoicing and refund administration. Lemon Squeezy’s Buyer Terms and the information presented in its checkout apply to the transaction. The footer of your receipt names the seller as “Sold through Link, LLC f/k/a Lemon Squeezy LLC”, and your bank or card statement may show the payment as LEMSQZY* STUDIOMOOD. Studiomood Ltd remains the software developer and licensor.
Those Buyer Terms govern the sales transaction; these terms and the License Terms govern the trial, software license and use of VolumeKeys, subject to mandatory law and the binding checkout information.
Software, Consumer and Business Customer have the meanings given in section 1 of the License Terms. The license agreement is separate from the sales transaction. Lemon Squeezy is the contractual seller for that transaction and operates the checkout, collection and payment processing, transaction billing and invoices, applicable sales taxes or VAT, transaction notices, store-administered refunds and chargebacks, and any store-operated withdrawal or cancellation process. Your order confirmation, license key and transaction invoice are provided by Lemon Squeezy. This allocation does not limit a mandatory right or remedy against the party responsible under applicable law.
2. Seven-day trial
The public trial is not enabled on the date shown below. When it is enabled, the trial provides access to the current VolumeKeys feature set for seven days so you can test your own Mac, operating system, interface or compatible display and driver. The trial is intended once per Mac installation. To prevent repeated trials we use a pseudonymous device entitlement and allow at most three new trials from one network within 30 days.
No purchase is required for the trial. Internet access is required to obtain and activate it; normal audio processing remains local.
The seven-day period begins when the app establishes its first working audio connection on that Mac, not at download or installation.
When the trial ends, VolumeKeys pauses its audio path and asks you how to continue. Nothing is charged, because the trial does not collect payment details.
3. Order, price and payment
The public checkout is not enabled on the date shown below. If it is enabled, choosing a purchase button loads Lemon Squeezy’s checkout script and opens Lemon Squeezy’s hosted checkout in a window over the current page. If that window cannot open, the hosted checkout opens as a separate page. VolumeKeys does not load the checkout script or preload the checkout before you choose to buy. The binding product, total price, currency, included taxes and available payment methods are shown there before the final order button. The advertised price includes applicable taxes. The checkout itemizes them rather than adding them on top. Review the order before purchasing. The contract of sale with Lemon Squeezy is concluded as described in the checkout and its Buyer Terms. Lemon Squeezy then sends a confirmation by email.
Unless the checkout expressly states otherwise, the license is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. No recurring charge is created by the VolumeKeys product described here.
4. Digital delivery and activation
VolumeKeys is supplied digitally. Delivery instructions, download access and any license key are provided electronically after successful payment. You are responsible for keeping the purchase email and license key secure and for entering an accurate email address.
A paid license can be active on one Mac at a time. The detailed usage rights and transfer procedure are in the License Terms.
Deactivating a Mac or uninstalling VolumeKeys may release an activation for another Mac where the license system supports it. It is not by itself a cancellation, refund request, withdrawal notice or proof that a refund is owed.
5. Consumer withdrawal and refunds
VolumeKeys includes a seven-day trial so you can test the software with your own Mac, operating system, audio device, drivers and routing before buying. The trial is the intended compatibility check before purchase.
Lemon Squeezy (Link, LLC) is the seller of your purchase. Your statutory rights as a consumer, including any right of withdrawal and your rights if the software is defective, exist against the seller. These terms do not limit them.
Mandatory rights you may have against Studiomood Ltd as the developer of the software, such as product liability, also remain.
To exercise a withdrawal right or request a refund, use the seller contact in your Lemon Squeezy receipt or its buyer support route. You may also email contact@volumekeys.app and we will help route the request; to protect a deadline, notify the contractual seller identified in your receipt directly.
If a full refund, withdrawal, payment reversal or chargeback is accepted or processed, the related license, entitlement and activations may be disabled. Continued use of the paid software after a fully refunded or reversed purchase is not permitted unless a new valid license is obtained.
If digital content is to be supplied immediately, whether and when a statutory withdrawal right expires depends on applicable law and on satisfaction of all requirements applicable to the transaction, which may include the buyer's prior express consent to immediate performance, acknowledgment of the resulting loss of the withdrawal right and confirmation on a durable medium. Lemon Squeezy, as seller and merchant of record, is responsible for operating its checkout and order process in accordance with those requirements. These terms do not state that starting a download alone is sufficient.
6. System requirements and compatibility
VolumeKeys requires macOS 14.2 or later. It is tested on Macs with Apple silicon. It is also built for Intel Macs, but has not been tested on Intel hardware. External audio hardware, displays, vendor drivers, aggregate devices and DAW configurations differ. A listed class of output is not a promise that every individual device or routing setup will work.
The minimum macOS version and the other technical requirements stated in the product description or official documentation at the time of acquisition form part of the agreed product characteristics. You are responsible for checking those published requirements before purchase and for maintaining a supported environment. Subject to mandatory conformity rights, we do not promise compatibility with unsupported hardware, modified operating systems, beta software, third-party updates, plug-ins or drivers that are not identified as supported.
Use the seven-day trial as the final compatibility check for your exact setup before purchasing. Compatibility statements describe the current version and can change when Apple or a hardware vendor changes its software.
An interface guide records one reference setup that we tested ourselves. It is not a manufacturer certification, approval, recommendation or warranty. Manufacturer and model names are used only to identify the referenced third-party hardware.
7. Intended use and responsible listening
VolumeKeys is a general-purpose macOS audio utility. It is not designed, certified or intended for medical, life-support, emergency, alarm, hearing-protection, public-address or other safety-critical use, or for any environment in which a delayed, missing, misrouted or unexpected audio signal could reasonably cause death, personal injury, property damage or environmental damage.
VolumeKeys controls a digital signal within the Mac audio path. It does not measure or limit acoustic sound-pressure level, analog output gain, amplifier power or the operating limits of connected interfaces, headphones, speakers or displays. Limiting digital gain to unity is not a hearing-protection or equipment-protection system and does not guarantee that clipping, noise, sudden level changes, malfunction, hearing injury or equipment damage cannot occur.
Before first use, and after changing or updating VolumeKeys, macOS, a driver, device, output pair, sample rate or buffer setting, reduce the physical interface, amplifier or monitor level; verify the selected target and output; and raise the listening level gradually. Stop playback, mute or power down the downstream equipment if you hear abnormal audio or notice unexpected levels or routing, repeated reconnections or instability. You remain responsible for physical gain settings, cabling, routing, monitoring conditions and compliance with the documentation and limits of all connected equipment.
Audio or control changes can produce unexpectedly loud output or unintended hardware behavior. Test your setup in a non-critical environment and maintain current, restorable backups of projects, presets and configuration data. These precautions do not exclude liability for a defect or damage for which we are responsible under mandatory law.
8. Third-party systems and availability
VolumeKeys depends on systems outside Studiomood Ltd’s control, including macOS, Core Audio, Apple hardware, third-party interfaces, displays, drivers, firmware, DAWs, plug-ins and network, licensing and payment services. Their behavior, availability and compatibility can change without notice. Studiomood Ltd does not operate, control or warrant those third-party systems.
The trial helps you assess the current version with your present setup; it is not a guarantee of uninterrupted, error-free or perpetual operation, future operating-system or driver compatibility, or compatibility with every device, route or workflow.
Website content, documentation, examples, compatibility records, interface photographs, demonstrations and links are provided for general product information. They do not constitute professional audio-engineering, hearing-safety, equipment-protection, legal, tax, regulatory or other professional advice; do not replace the documentation for your Mac and connected equipment; and do not create a warranty beyond an express statement in the binding checkout information or these terms. A third-party name, link or compatibility record does not mean that the third party endorses VolumeKeys or that Studiomood Ltd controls its product or website.
9. Updates and service changes
We will provide the conformity and security updates, information and remedies required by mandatory law for the period required by that law. You should install such updates within a reasonable time after we inform you that they are available; any legal consequence of not installing them applies only to the extent provided by mandatory law. Voluntary feature updates, major upgrades and individual support are included only where the product description or a separate agreement expressly says so. We may discontinue voluntary development or support after our contractual and statutory obligations have been fulfilled. Your license to the acquired version remains unaffected, although future changes to third-party systems may affect compatibility.
We may suspend distribution of a build where reasonably necessary to investigate a safety, security, licensing or legal issue.
VolumeKeys needs internet access to download it, to start the trial and to activate or deactivate a license. When online, it also checks its license from time to time; a missing connection does not stop a paid license in normal use. If a Studiomood-operated online service is technically necessary for continued ordinary use of an unlimited-period license and we permanently discontinue that service, we will, where reasonably and legally possible, provide an alternative that preserves continued licensed use of the acquired version. Any mandatory conformity, termination, refund or other remedy remains unaffected.
Any processing of personal data for delivery, entitlement, activation, support or optional website analytics is governed by the privacy policy. These terms do not constitute consent to optional analytics. Audio is not transmitted to Studiomood merely because it is processed locally; any feature that transmits such content must be separately identified and have a valid legal basis.
10. Acceptable use
You must not share a license key with other people, use one license on more than one Mac at a time, bypass activation or trial controls, interfere with the entitlement service, use the software unlawfully, or reverse engineer it, except where applicable law expressly permits this and that right cannot be excluded by contract. Passing on a whole license as described in section 3 of the License Terms is allowed.
You must not use VolumeKeys as the sole control, warning or protective mechanism in a safety-critical system, intentionally use it to create harmful sound levels, or continue using a configuration after an abnormal or unsafe condition becomes apparent.
VolumeKeys does not provide professional audio-engineering, hearing-safety, equipment-protection, medical, legal, compliance or risk-management advice. You are responsible for deciding whether the software, connected equipment and operating conditions are suitable for your intended use and for maintaining independent safeguards appropriate to that use.
11. Additional terms for business users
This section applies only to a Business Customer. You are responsible for evaluating VolumeKeys before production use, maintaining recoverable backups, keeping an independent way to mute or reduce physical output, supervising critical sessions and implementing reasonable business-continuity, cybersecurity and equipment-protection measures. You must not rely on VolumeKeys as the only control for a live event, broadcast, recording, performance, installation or other time-critical workflow. Trial access, a demonstration, a compatibility record or a successful past session does not replace your own testing after changes to software, hardware, routing or operating conditions.
12. Liability
Warranty and conformity. We provide the Software with the quality, functionality, compatibility and other characteristics agreed in the product description and official documentation and required by applicable law. Mandatory rights relating to defects, consumer guarantees, digital-content conformity, updates and remedies remain unaffected.
Unlimited liability. We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, for fraudulently concealed defects, under applicable product-liability law and wherever other mandatory law requires liability.
Consumers. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or places a financial cap on mandatory rights, statutory warranties, consumer guarantees or remedies available to Consumers under the law applicable to them. Any exclusion or limitation in this section applies to a Consumer only to the extent that it is lawful, transparent and fair in the individual case.
Business Customers. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, where the licensee is a Business Customer, we are liable for slight negligence only for breach of an essential contractual obligation. That liability is limited to direct loss that was foreseeable and typical when the contract was made and, in aggregate for all claims arising from the affected Software license, to the amount actually paid for that Software. Subject to the unlimited-liability cases above, we are not liable to a Business Customer for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit or revenue, loss of business opportunity, production or performance interruption, or loss of data.
Backups and data restoration. You are responsible for regular, appropriate and restorable backups. For Business Customers, and subject to the unlimited-liability cases above, liability for data loss is limited to the reasonable cost of restoring the data from a current, properly maintained backup. This does not reduce any mandatory right of a Consumer.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms and the License Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Cyprus, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a Consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protection provided by the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence. The courts of the Republic of Cyprus have exclusive jurisdiction for disputes with Business Customers. Statutory jurisdiction rules for Consumers remain unaffected.
Complaints. Questions about the checkout, payment, transaction invoice, tax, refund, chargeback or withdrawal process should be directed to Lemon Squeezy in the first instance under its Buyer Terms and support process. You may also email contact@volumekeys.app and we will help route the request. Questions about the software, license, compatibility or support can be sent to support@volumekeys.app. We will handle complaints directed to us without undue delay. Nothing in this section restricts a Consumer's right to use a competent court or authority under applicable law.
Export controls and sanctions. Each party must comply with sanctions, embargoes and export-control laws that are legally binding on that party or the relevant transaction. You may not export, re-export, transfer or otherwise make the Software or related technical information available where doing so is prohibited by such law. Nothing in these terms requires Studiomood Ltd to grant or continue a license where doing so would be unlawful. This paragraph does not make a foreign legal regime applicable where it would not otherwise apply, and it does not limit any mandatory refund, withdrawal, conformity or other remedy or the applicable store process.
Language, version and severability. The official version of these terms and the License Terms is English. A translation supplied by us is for accessibility and convenience unless it is expressly identified as an official contractual version. If versions differ, the English version prevails only to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any mandatory right to receive contractual information or terms in another language remains unaffected.
The terms identified below apply to acquisitions made while this version is presented. We will not replace the agreed terms for an existing acquisition merely by changing a website or publishing a later version. A later change applies to an existing license only where it is separately agreed or where applicable law or a valid contractual mechanism permits the change, with any required notice and without reducing mandatory rights. You may request a copy of the version that applied when you acquired the Software. If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent permitted by law, and applicable statutory law governs any resulting gap.
