End User Licence Agreement — Throughline

Version 3.0.0 · revised 2026-09-22

Licensor: Lucrative Pictures LLC, an Arizona limited liability company · address for legal notices: PO Box 123, Flagstaff, AZ 86002, USA
Governing law: the State of Arizona, USA (see §14)

By installing or using Throughline (“the Software”) you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install it, and request a refund under §11.

1 · Licence grant

Subject to payment and to this Agreement, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence to install and use the Software.

Seats. One licence covers use by one named person on up to two Macs that person controls. Use by additional people requires additional licences.

A monthly subscription. Throughline is sold as one monthly subscription at a single price, with every feature included. There is no perpetual licence and no paid upgrade.

Your licence is valid while the subscription is current, and includes every update released during it — there is no separate charge for a later major version. If you cancel, the licence stops at the end of the period you paid for. Output you have already created remains yours under §2, permanently and regardless of subscription state.

2 · What you may do

• Use the Software commercially, including on paid client work.
• Keep and use output — timelines, EDLs, FCPXML, exports, transcripts — with no royalty, attribution or further permission from us. Your output is yours.
• Make backup copies.
• Move a licence between machines you control.

3 · What you may not do

• Redistribute, resell, sublicense, rent or lend the Software.
• Circumvent the licence check, or distribute anything designed to.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that right cannot be excluded by law — which includes interoperability under Article 6 of EU Directive 2009/24/EC and equivalent provisions elsewhere, and the relinking right described in §5.
• Remove or obscure the attribution required by the licences of bundled open-source components and models.

4 · Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. We retain all rights not expressly granted. Nothing here transfers ownership of your media, your projects or your output, and we claim no rights in any of them.

5 · Open-source components

The Software includes open-source components under their own licences, which take precedence over this Agreement for those components. Where a component is licensed under the LGPL, you have the right to obtain its source and to replace it with your own build. See OPEN-SOURCE-OFFER.md, which is part of this Agreement.

6 · AI features

The Software includes machine-learning features whose output is generated and may be wrong. You are responsible for reviewing it before relying on it. See AI-TRANSPARENCY.md.

If you use a cloud AI provider, you do so under your own account and API key with that provider, and their terms govern that use. We are not a party to it.

7 · Privacy

The Software collects nothing and sends us nothing. See PRIVACY.md.

8 · Your media

You are responsible for backups. The Software is designed to treat source media as read-only during synchronisation, and its repair and transfer features act only when you explicitly invoke them — but no software is a substitute for a backup. Do not run any tool, including this one, against your only copy.

9 · Warranty

We warrant that the Software will perform substantially as described in its documentation for 90 days from purchase. If it does not, and we cannot correct it in a reasonable time, you may have a refund under §11.

Otherwise, and to the extent permitted by law, the Software is provided “as is” without further warranty. We do not warrant that synchronisation will succeed on any particular footage: results depend on the audio actually recorded, and material recorded without usable common audio cannot be synchronised by any means.

9.1 · Recovery and repair are best-effort

The Software can rebuild recordings that were interrupted before the camera wrote their index. This is recovery of damaged data, and it is offered on a best-efforts basis only. In particular:

• A recording cut off mid-write has always lost the portion the camera never finished writing. Recovery returns what survived on the card, not the take you believed you had.
• Recovery requires a healthy reference clip from the same camera in the same mode. Without one it cannot proceed, and a reference that does not match is refused rather than guessed at.
• Which formats can be recovered is stated per format, not per camera brand, and the Software declines formats it cannot rebuild rather than producing a file that only partly plays.
• The Software writes recovered material beside the original and never over it. The damaged original remains yours to take elsewhere.

You must verify a recovered file before relying on it, and before erasing the card it came from. We do not warrant that any particular damaged file can be recovered in whole or in part.

9.2 · The Software is not a system of record

Transcripts, speaker labels, timecode burn-ins and page:line placements are produced mechanically and are aids to your work, not a certification. They do not replace a court reporter’s certified transcript, and nothing the Software produces is legal advice. Where accuracy matters, you are responsible for checking it — the Software reports what it could not place or could not draw precisely so that you can.

Nothing in this section limits the statutory rights in §12.

10 · Liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of this Agreement is limited to the amount you paid for the Software in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or lost or corrupted data.

Nothing in this section excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in this section limits the statutory rights in §12.

11 · Refunds and cancellation

European Union / EEA and United Kingdom. You have 14 days to withdraw from the purchase of digital content. Where you asked for immediate delivery and acknowledged that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal, that right ends once download begins — you will be asked to confirm this at checkout.

Everywhere else. 30-day refund, no reason required, from the address in §15.

12 · Statutory rights that this Agreement cannot remove

• European Union / EEA. Directive 2019/770 requires digital content to be in conformity and requires us to supply updates needed to keep it so. Remedies under national implementing law are unaffected.
• United Kingdom. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, digital content must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. Those rights cannot be excluded.
• Australia. Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have problems with the service rectified in a reasonable time and, if this is not done, to cancel your contract and obtain a refund for the unused portion of the contract.
• New Zealand. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 applies to consumer purchases.
• Elsewhere. Any non-excludable consumer right in your country applies regardless of anything above.

13 · Eligibility, export and sanctions

You must be at least 13 years old, and at least 16 where that is the age of digital consent.

You may not use or obtain the Software if you are located in, or ordinarily resident in, a comprehensively sanctioned territory, or if you appear on a restricted-party list. See EXPORT-COMPLIANCE.md.

14 · Term, termination and governing law

This Agreement continues until terminated. It terminates automatically if you materially breach §3. On termination you must stop using the Software and delete your copies; output you have already created remains yours, and §2’s grant over it survives.

Governing law and forum: the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts sitting in Arizona. This does not deprive a consumer of the protection of the mandatory law of their country of residence — under EU Regulation 593/2008 (Rome I) Article 6 and equivalents, it cannot.

14.1 · Assignment

You may not transfer this Agreement without our consent. We may assign this Agreement, and the rights and obligations in it, to a successor or to an affiliate that takes over the Software — including on a reorganisation or on the transfer of the Software to another entity under common ownership. Your rights under this Agreement are unchanged by such a transfer, and we will identify the new licensor in the Software or on the website.

16 · Changes

This Agreement governs the version of the Software it ships with. A later version may ship with a revised Agreement; it does not alter the terms of a licence you have already bought.
