These terms have two parts. The Terms of Sale cover buying or renting Avocadic Time and using this website. The License Agreement covers using the app. Our Refund Policy and Privacy Policy also apply.
Part 1: Terms of Sale
Who you are buying from. Avocadic Time is made and licensed by Avocadic Inc, a New York corporation ("Avocadic", "we", "us"). When you buy or rent Avocadic Time, or use it, you are entering into an agreement with Avocadic Inc.
Our reseller. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle handles checkout, payment, sales tax and VAT, invoices, and refunds, and provides customer service for those. Your purchase is also subject to Paddle's Buyer Terms.
What you are buying. You are buying a license to use Avocadic Time, not the software itself. How the license works is set out in the License Agreement below, which forms part of these terms. In short:
- Perpetual license: one Mac at a time, for as long as that Mac and macOS can run your version. Updates within the major version (for example 1.x) are included while that version is supported. Major upgrades may be paid. The last installer of each major version stays available to download.
- Main + Backup bundle: two perpetual licenses in one order. Either Mac can be the Main or the Backup.
- Rentals: 48 or 168 consecutive hours on one Mac, starting at first activation, not at purchase. Rentals never renew on their own and have no deadline to activate.
- Free use: programming, show files, Remote, Display, iPad and browser viewers need no license. A seven-day output demo, one per Mac, needs a verified email address and is for evaluation only.
Prices are shown on our Pricing page and at checkout, in the currency shown. Paddle adds any tax that applies at checkout. Introductory prices are available for a limited time and will rise to the standard price afterward. A price change never affects a license you already bought.
Delivery. Your license key is emailed from licenses@avocadictime.com to the address you give at checkout. If it doesn't arrive, email support@avocadictime.com.
Refunds. See our Refund Policy.
Using it responsibly. You may not use Avocadic Time or our website or licensing service to break the law, to commit fraud or send spam, to infringe anyone's intellectual property, or to interfere with their security, for example by spreading malware, probing or attacking our systems, scraping our services, or bypassing license checks.
Ownership. Avocadic owns Avocadic Time, its name, logo and documentation, this website, and all related intellectual property. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership to you.
No guarantee of uninterrupted service. We work to keep Avocadic Time, our website and our licensing service reliable, but we can't promise they will always be available or free of errors. Activated licenses keep working offline, with no periodic internet check.
Suspension and termination. We may suspend or end a license, or your access to our licensing service, if you materially breach these terms or the License Agreement, if payment fails or is reversed or charged back, if we reasonably suspect fraud or a security risk, or after repeated or serious violations. Where it's reasonable, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.
Warranty and liability. The warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability in the License Agreement apply to your purchase and to this website too. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be waived.
Changes. We may update these terms. Changes apply to purchases made after the new effective date and don't change the terms of a license you already bought.
Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.

Part 2: License Agreement
Avocadic Time License Agreement, version 1.0.
1. The agreement. This agreement is between you and Avocadic Inc ("Avocadic"). By installing, activating or using Avocadic Time you agree to it. If you accept for a company or other organization, you confirm you can bind it, and "you" means that organization. You must be old enough to make a binding contract where you live.
2. The license. Avocadic Time is licensed, not sold. Avocadic grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Avocadic Time under the license type you bought or were given. You get a license, not ownership.
3. License types.
- Perpetual: active on one Mac at a time. It works indefinitely, subject to macOS and hardware compatibility. It covers its major version (for example every 1.x release). Major upgrades may be paid, with no guaranteed update term.
- Main + Backup bundle: two perpetual licenses, each activated and moved on its own.
- Rental: 48 or 168 consecutive hours on one Mac, from first activation. No automatic renewal. An activated rental stays on the Mac where it was activated, and its time keeps running whether or not the app is open.
- Demo: one seven-day output evaluation per Mac, started with a verified email address. During the demo, audience-facing outputs carry a demo watermark and a full-screen demo card for five seconds each minute. The demo is for evaluation and may not be used for production.
- No license needed: creating, editing, importing, saving and loading shows, and running a Mac as a Remote or Display, or using the iPad app or a browser viewer. What they show follows the license, or the demo treatment, of the Mac running the show. A Backup Mac needs its own license or its own demo.
4. When a rental or demo ends. On the show Mac, what is already on screen may finish, and a countdown holds at zero. Nothing new can be added or removed until you renew or buy. Clear Screen and Blackout keep working. Your show files are never locked. A Display Mac that has lost its connection to the show Mac goes black when the show Mac's license period ends. License warnings never take over a presenter-facing screen.
5. Activation and moving a license. Activation is online, or by phone from another device. It records a hashed identifier of the Mac (see the Privacy Policy). You can deactivate a perpetual license and move it to another Mac as often as you need. If the old Mac can't be deactivated (lost, stolen, failed or wiped), you can move the license yourself on our website once every 12 months; further moves are through support, at our discretion. After activation the app works offline, with no periodic internet check, so a change to a license (a refund, a dispute, a move) takes effect on that Mac the next time it checks in with our licensing service.
6. No transfers. Licenses can't be sold, shared or transferred to another person or company. A license bought by a company belongs to that company, so staff changes need no transfer. Don't share or publish your license key.
7. Restrictions. Except where the law allows it regardless of this agreement, you may not: copy the app beyond what normal use and backups need; resell, rent out, sublicense or redistribute it; reverse engineer, decompile or modify it; or remove, bypass or interfere with activation, license checks, demo markings, updates or security features.
8. Use in live shows. Avocadic Time is built for live events, but you are responsible for checking what's on screen before it goes in front of an audience, and for having a backup timing plan for anything important. It isn't designed for emergency, life-safety, medical, transportation or industrial control uses, and must not be the only timing or alerting system where a failure could cause injury, death or property damage.
9. Your content. Your cues, notes, images, show files and settings stay yours. You are responsible for the text, notes, images and timing you put into Avocadic Time or show through it, and for having the rights to them. Avocadic doesn't see your show content during normal use.
10. Networks. Features that share output or control over a local network are meant for networks you trust. You are responsible for your network, passwords, pairing codes and connected devices. Network features can be switched off in Settings.
11. Apple and third-party parts. The iPad app is free and is distributed through Apple's App Store, so Apple's App Store terms also apply to it; Apple is not responsible for Avocadic Time or for supporting it. Avocadic Time includes third-party components (for example NDI® technology and open-source fonts and libraries) under their own licenses, listed in the app's Acknowledgments. NDI® is a registered trademark of Vizrt NDI AB. Other third-party names, such as Apple, Mac and Bitfocus Companion, belong to their owners.
12. Ownership and trademarks. Avocadic owns Avocadic Time and its name, logo and documentation. You may say truthfully that you use Avocadic Time, but not in a way that suggests we sponsor or endorse you.
13. Feedback. If you send ideas or suggestions, we may use them without owing you anything.
14. Updates and changes. Avocadic Time checks for updates only when you choose Check for Updates, and never downloads or installs anything on its own. We may release updates and change features or system requirements. If we change this agreement, the new version applies to new versions and new purchases; a perpetual license keeps the terms of the version you bought.
15. Ending the license. A perpetual license ends only if you breach this agreement, the purchase is refunded or charged back, or we reasonably find fraud or misuse of the key. A refunded or cancelled license can no longer be activated or moved. When a license ends, stop using the licensed features. Sections 7 to 9, 12 and 16 to 19 survive.
16. No warranty. Avocadic Time is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, Avocadic disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise uninterrupted operation, perfect timing accuracy, error-free output, or compatibility with every Mac, macOS update or production setup.
17. Limitation of liability. To the extent the law allows, Avocadic is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data, business or production interruption, event failure, or reputational harm. Avocadic's total liability for any claim about Avocadic Time is limited to what you paid for the license that gave rise to it in the 12 months before the claim.
18. Indemnity. To the extent the law allows, you will cover Avocadic's reasonable costs and losses from claims caused by your content or your misuse of Avocadic Time or breach of this agreement.
19. Governing law and disputes. New York law governs this agreement, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the state or federal courts in New York, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring them locally. You and Avocadic each agree to bring claims only individually, not as part of a class or representative action, where the law allows. You agree to comply with applicable export and sanctions laws when using Avocadic Time.
20. Your consumer rights. Nothing in this agreement limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be waived. If any part of it is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
21. Whole agreement. This agreement, the Terms of Sale, the Refund Policy and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement about Avocadic Time. A separate signed agreement with Avocadic takes priority where it differs. We may assign this agreement if the Avocadic Time business is sold or reorganized.
