(VER 2024-05)
About these Terms
These Terms apply when you purchase Products (as defined below) provided by Softube AB (“Softube”, “we”, “us” or “our”) at softube.com. You can find our contact information at the end of these Terms.
Hello! We are happy to be part of your creative process – now and in the future!
We assume you are purchasing our Products for your own use or on behalf of an entity that you represent. In the latter case, “you” refers to the entity you represent. Before you purchase or download any Products, please read these Terms and any other document we refer to herein.
Our processing of your personal data
Our interaction with you will generally require our processing of certain of your personal data. We want you to feel comfortable in knowing how and for what purposes we process your personal data. Please therefore see the information set out in Softube’s privacy policy and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions in that regard. Our contact information for privacy matters is set out in our privacy policy.
1. Applicability of the Terms and the EULA
These Terms apply to the purchase of Products provided by us at softube.com (hereinafter referred to as “website”). We offer hardware products (“Hardware”) and software plug-ins, various applications and products for the audio industry via licenses, including but not limited to high-end computer recording plug-ins under our own brand and for other reputable companies in the audio industry (collectively “Software”). Some products are available as bundled purchases, for example different Software bundled together, or Software bundled together with Hardware. Such bundled Products are collectively referred to in these Terms as “Bundled Products”. Hardware, Software and Bundled Products are collectively referred to in these Terms as “Products”.
You will need to accept these Terms together with the applicable End User License Agreement (the “EULA”) for your Product and any other referenced document in connection with your order of any of our Products.
No modifications or reservations to these Terms apply unless expressly accepted by us in writing (including e-mail for the purpose of these Terms and the EULA). Please contact us prior to making any purchase if you have any questions about our Products, these Terms, the EULA or any information provided by us.
These Terms together with our EULA and any other referenced document in connection with your purchase as well as your order, as confirmed by our order confirmation, shall be regarded as a binding contract between you and us. If statutory rights in your country of residence, that are more favorable for you as a consumer, do apply, such rights shall however take precedence before the referred documents to the applicable extent.
2. Our Products
1. Our Software
General Information
When you purchase our Software, you purchase or subscribe to a right to download and use our Software for the intended purpose, i.e. a license, subject to the provisions of these Terms and in our EULA. This also applies to any Bundled Products being or containing Software. We or our third-party licensors, still own the software and the intellectual property rights to the Software. We have information and descriptions of all our Software available on the pages on our website dedicated to our various Software. There you can read more about the different Software, specific hardware and system requirements, the price, available license options (see also further below) and other necessary information for you in order to fully enjoy our Software.
Available license options
We provide you and other users our various Software via different license models, and for different terms, subject to pre-payment of the full price, or recurring payments as the case may be. The current license models are displayed and explained on our website and in the EULA. We may also have limited offers with other options on our website or via our partners than those explicitly mentioned in these Terms or the EULA.
The license model indicated in connection with your order will apply for your purchase of the relevant Software.
For clarity, when we state that you have “subscribed”, or “purchased a subscription” to a Product in these Terms, we mean that your right to download, install and use the Product is subject to a Subscription License as set out in the EULA and these Terms.
Third party partners
We also have third-party partners that may offer our Software via other options or provide or sell our Software by themselves or on our behalf, e.g. by giving you access to our Software via codes or gift cards that you may trade for access to our Software. If so, your purchase may be subject to separate terms and conditions, which in such case may apply to your purchase as well (i.e. in addition to these Terms and the EULA).
2. Our Hardware
General Information
When you purchase our Hardware, you purchase a physical product, but as the Hardware needs software for its function you also purchase a right to download and use such software for the intended purpose, i.e. a license, subject to the provisions in these Terms and our EULA. We or our third-party licensors, still own the software and the intellectual property rights in the Hardware and the software provided therewith. This also applies to any software already installed in the Hardware upon delivery (if any).
We have information and descriptions of all our Hardware available on the various hardware pages on our website. There you can read more about the Hardware, specific requirements, the price, the available license and other necessary information for you in order to fully enjoy our Hardware and the software included with the Hardware. For our Software which you later may purchase for use on the Hardware or standalone Software which is provided in a Bundled Product together with the Hardware, specific license terms apply in accordance with the above.
We also have third-party partners that may offer our Hardware themselves or on our behalf. If so, your purchase may be subject to separate terms and conditions, which in such case may apply to your purchase as well (in addition to the EULA).
License for Software in Hardware
Our Hardware includes certain software that you have the right to use on a perpetual basis (“Perpetual License”) according to these Terms and the EULA. Information on the software included with the Hardware (both software installed prior to delivery (if any) and software downloadable by you) is stated on the Hardware pages on our website.
We may also have limited offers with other options on our website or via our partners than those explicitly mentioned in these Terms.
3. Product System Requirements and updates for your Software or software included with or in Hardware
All our Products (including software included with or in Hardware) each have individual minimum system, software, hardware and/or Software requirements (jointly “System Requirements”), which are set out on our website and made available prior to making any purchase. Please check the relevant Product’s System Requirements and its compatibility with your system, software, hardware and/or Software, as applicable, so you make sure that you can enjoy our Product completely. Softube takes no liability for the Products’ functions and/or compatibility with other systems, software, hardware and/or Software other than the System Requirements explicitly recommended on our Product page for each Product.
When you have purchased a Product, we will inform you of and make available to you updates, including security updates, for the Product, to the extent necessary to ensure that the Product meet the functions specified to you at the time of your order. If you are a consumer, we will provide you with such updates for such a period of time that we deem that you may reasonably expect or, if longer, which corresponds to your statutory rights. Please note that any updates provided by us may require that your technical environment is kept compliant with the applicable System Requirements for the relevant Product. We therefore always recommend that you save a copy of the applicable System Requirements for your purchased Products for future reference.
3. Orders, Delivery and Installation
1. Special requirements if you are under the age of 18
If you are under the age of eighteen (18), or the applicable age of legal majority in your country or jurisdiction, you must (i) obtain the permission of your parent or guardian prior to any purchase of Products, and (ii) obtain any necessary authorization from your parent, guardian or applicable third party to charge the credit card or other payment method you use.
2. Your purchase order and order confirmation
When you have finalized your order of a Product, one of two things will happen:
1. We send you an order confirmation. The order confirmation confirms that we have received and accepted your order and legally constitutes confirmation of a binding agreement between you and us in relation to your purchase, subject to possible applicable statutory rights available for you. The order confirmation will be sent to you regarding your purchase of Hardware and Software when we have you accepted your order and after receipt of payment.
2. We send you a preliminary order confirmation. If you receive a preliminary order confirmation, this is only a notification to you that we have received your purchase order and not an acceptance, as we may need to check the details of your order. A binding agreement of your purchase will then only arise when we confirm your purchase by sending you a final order confirmation (see 1 above).
Please note, in case of errors in prices or other information, certain additional provisions below under the section 5 “Prices and Information”, may apply, which in some cases may mean that your order is not binding despite us having sent you an order confirmation.
In addition, please also note that your order confirmation may contain important information regarding your access to any purchased Software. Therefore, we always recommend that you save the order confirmation in order to facilitate any future communication you may have with us regarding your purchase.
To purchase any of our Products, you need to register a Softube account at our website. We give you detailed information in the section 8 “Softube Account” and also on our website.
We reserve the right to refuse your order, for example, if you have entered incorrect information in connection with the order or if the order cannot be met. Thus, unless and until we have sent you an order confirmation, your order is not binding for us. The same applies if we have only sent you a preliminary order confirmation, as stated above.
3. Free initial trial period of subscriptions
If you have signed up for a subscription with a free trial period, you agree to accept these Terms and the EULA for the relevant Product. This includes that you agree to pay the applicable recurring subscription fee after the end of the free trial period unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period.
See section 6 below for detailed information on payment. By ordering Products under a subscription license, you authorize us (or the applicable third party) to charge your payment method the then current subscription fee at the agreed intervals. You need to provide us with relevant details for payment (see section 6) to start your trial, if you do not, you cannot access the Product during the trial period. No charge will be made until the end of the free trial period.
You may enjoy a trial period only once for any individual Product. If you have previously subscribed to any Product, we’re generally happy to reactivate or renew your subscription, but you will not be eligible for a trial period.
4. Delivery of Software and software included with Hardware
We deliver all our Software and software included with Hardware to you via electronic means (which of course requires sufficient connection to the internet), and you need to enable us to deposit your license somewhere. Therefore, in addition to a Softube account you also need a compatible license management account, such as iLok, to manage your licenses. Before you have any such account (or if such account for some reason are not accessible), we cannot deliver your license to you, and meanwhile your license will thus be in a pending state until we can deposit the license to your license management account. As soon as this process is finished, you will be able to access any Software and software for Hardware that you have purchased from us and may install it as set out below. The same applies if we or you need to make any other license management action, in which case access to such license management account is required.
We recommend that you download the Softube Central App, which is Software available for download on our website, log in with your Softube account (Softube Central) and follow our instructions at www.softube.com/my-account in order to install your Software and software for Hardware.
After you have downloaded and installed the Software and/or software for Hardware via Softube Central, you can go all in and rock ’n’ roll and intuitively learn how to use your Software or Hardware. You can find more detailed information in our manuals.
5. Delivery of Hardware
The Hardware is physical goods and information on all delivery and shipment methods, including applicable prices for such delivery and shipment methods, will be available on the website in connection with your order.
If you are not a consumer and unless otherwise stated in our order confirmation, all sales are delivered Ex Works (Incoterms 2020), Softube’s designated location as further specified in connection with your purchase.
We will use reasonable efforts to meet requested delivery dates but will not be liable for any failure to do so.
4. Cancellations and Right to Withdrawal
1. Your right to withdraw from a purchase of Products
When purchasing any of our Products, you have the right to withdraw from any purchase – without giving us any reasons – up to fourteen (14) days after you (or a third party appointed by you (other than the carrier, if applicable)) received the Product. If you wish to withdraw your from your purchase, you need to notify us within this period of fourteen (14) days. To exercise your right of withdrawal you may log in to your Softube account on the website and follow the return instructions there. If you are a consumer, you may also fill in the standard form for withdrawal, which you can find at softube.com/withdrawal-form and send it to us. Please note, the right to withdraw from a purchase does only apply if you are a consumer and thus not, for example, if you have purchased a Product in the capacity of a reseller, distributor, or similar arrangement or if you’ve purchased the Product from anyone else other than us.
When we have received your notification about your withdrawal, we will examine your request and normally also approve the return and notify you about the procedure to return the Product.
If you withdraw from your purchase, Softube will reimburse all payments received from you, in exchange for deleting the license of the Software you have received and/or re-sending us the Hardware at your expense. If you have purchased any Bundled Product , you may withdraw from such purchase only as a whole, and not partly. This means that you must return all Products contained in the bundled purchase, including, if any, such Products provided by us for free in return of personal data or otherwise.
We may withhold reimbursement for your Software until you have enabled us to delete the license from your account, which we cannot do unless you follow the instructions we give you in this regard (which i.e. means that we need to see the license on your license management account to be able to revoke the same) and/or we have received the Hardware. We may depreciate the amount to be reimbursed if the Hardware is not packed properly, if the Hardware has been used when returned and there are signs of wear and tear of the Hardware because of improper use, storage or handling.
2. Cancellation of subscriptions
If you have subscribed to a Product, you may cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your Softube account and following the instructions on the “my account” page.
The cancellation will take effect at the end of the current payment period in which you cancel and your right to use the relevant Product will cease at the same time. We will not provide any refund for an incomplete subscription period, unless otherwise expressly stated in these Terms or authorised by us on a case-by-case basis.
You may generally reactivate or renew your subscription to any Product you have previously subscribed to unless we have cancelled or revoked your subscription. If you choose to reactivate or renew your subscription, you accept that these Terms and the EULA, as applicable at the time of your re-activation or re-subscription, will apply for the duration of your subscription.
5. Prices and Information
1. Price information
The prices of our Products vary depending on available license model(s) and are set out on our website and may also be adjusted on a regular basis and for various reasons. Local VAT and other applicable taxes are added, if not explicitly included in the price shown at our website. Prices do not include shipping charges, if any, but are listed separately.
Depending on the applicable license model, the indicated price set out in your order can constitute a full payment of the price, a recurring subscription fee payable on a monthly basis (or other time period) for the duration of your subscription, or otherwise constitute a part of a payment plan. This is further explained on our website and in these Terms.
We strive for the website, our advertisements and other marketing material to contain correct information. However, we make reservations for potential errors, misspellings, incorrect prices or similar errors in information, in the description of the Products on our website, in advertisements or other marketing material. We will always clearly indicate if any discounts or limited offers apply. You should be aware that any lower than usual prices that are not clearly indicated as an offer or discount may be in error. We are not bound by prices or other information that you realised or should reasonably have realised were incorrect. If an incorrect price or other incorrect information has been specified for a Product that you have ordered, we will notify you as soon as we have discovered the error.
2. Price changes for subscriptions
In connection with our regular price changes of Products, we may from time to time also change the price of our subscriptions, including recurring subscription fees. Such price changes may occur e.g. to reflect changes in the relevant Product (such as additional or discontinued Software in Bundled Products, for example), changes in our business, in accordance with the terms and conditions with our partners, or for legal or regulatory reasons.
If relevant for you, any such changes will be notified to you in a reasonable manner, including by email and/or notice in the Softube Central App or otherwise, at least 30 days before they take effect. The notified price changes will take effect at the beginning of the next payment period after the price change date. Subject to applicable law, you will be deemed to have agreed to the price change if you continue to use the Product after the price change has taken effect. If you do not agree to a price change, you may reject it by cancelling the applicable subscription before the price change takes effect (see section 4 above).
Please also note that any Products available under our subscription license models may be subject to other changes, see more information in section 7 below.
6. Payment
How we want you to pay us depends on what Product you buy and which license model applies to your purchase.
- If you have purchased Hardware or a perpetual license to Software, you pre-pay the full price of the Product straight away.
- If you have subscribed to a Product, you pay the applicable recurring subscription fee in advance either monthly or any other recurring interval that has been communicated to you prior to your purchase.
- If you have purchased any other time limited license to a Product, you pay the applicable fee in advance to use the Product for a certain period of time that has been communicated to you prior to your purchase.
In case of recurring payments, we refer to the period that you shall provide pre-payment for to use the Product as a “payment period”.
If your subscription starts with a free trial period, the first payment period commences on the first day after the end of the free trial period.
The purchase price of the Product, which may be the full price of the Product or the full amount of the applicable payment period, is due as soon as you have placed the order and is thus payable in advance, unless otherwise expressly stated in connection with your order. Before you can download or install our Software, and before we send you the ordered Hardware, we require pre-payment of the full applicable amount via credit card, a third-party payment provider or any other payment method, each as accepted by us. The available payment options are made available in connection with your purchase.
For any subscription, you will be charged the applicable subscription fee recurring on the first day of each payment period. You may update your payment method or information for any recurring payments as set out on the “my account” page. If you fail to make the agreed payment, your subscription will be cancelled with immediate effect upon our notice.
Regardless of the above, if you nonetheless have downloaded or installed a Software or received Hardware prior to us receiving full payment of the applicable price, or any amounts for any subsequent payment periods, we reserve the right to suspend or deactivate the license for such Software and/or request return of delivered Hardware, as applicable. Please note that in such case you are obliged to follow the instructions we give you in this regard.
If you have purchased any of our Software from one of our third-party partners, you can use the coupon or license code you got from that dealer or distributor to download the Software from our website.
More information on the currently available payment options for our Products can be found on the website.
Free Software in Return of Personal Data
Certain of our Software may be available for free, which means that you will not be paying for the Software with money. Please note however, that your purchase of a free Software may be subject to and conditional upon your provision of certain personal data to us, as further specified in connection with your order (e.g. your name, e-mail contact information etc). Please be advised that a download by you of a free Software for which you in return provide us with your personal data is to be legally equated as a purchase for which these Terms and the EULA apply. The provision of personal data is due as soon as you have placed the order, before you can download or install the relevant Software, unless otherwise expressly stated in connection with your order. Regardless of the above, if you nonetheless have downloaded or installed Software prior to us receiving the requested personal data, we reserve the right to suspend or deactivate the license for such Software. Please note that in such case you will need to follow the instructions we give you in this regard.
Earn and Use Credits from Subscriptions
If you subscribe to certain Bundled Products, your subscription may include a right for you to earn credits, as indicated in connection with your order. Credits are meant to be accumulated and exchanged for perpetual licenses of individual Software included in the Bundled Product, as set out in these Terms and on our website from time to time.
How credits are earned is set out on our website (in the descriptions of the relevant Bundled Product) and is subject to amendment from time to time.
Your available credits may be used in our credit store to secure a perpetual license for individual Software eligible for such credit use at the time of your use of the credit, provided that you have a sufficient amount of credits. How credits may be used is subject to amendment from time to time. See the Softube credit store for updated information.
The following restrictions apply:
You will earn credits on subscriptions if and only to the extent expressly set out on our website in connection with your purchase of the subscription to the relevant Bundled Product. Different Bundled Products may earn you different types of credits. Credits are earned only when we have received full payment of the applicable subscription fee for the relevant payment period, and not before.
Credits will not be earned during free trial periods.
Credits from one Bundled Product may only be used for a perpetual license to any individual Software that is, at the time of your use of credits, marketed and sold by Softube as an individually available Software and also at such time eligible for use of the type of credits in question in our credit store. If you lack enough credits to use, you cannot top-up your purchase with cash or with credits earned from any other Bundled Product. Credits cannot be exchanged for any other Product or service and cannot be combined, refunded in cash or in any other form, traded or otherwise used by you in any other manner than as set out herein. Credits are valid for a period of three (3) years after your last payment pertaining to the Bundled Product earning you credits. Credits that have not been used during the period of validity are void and we have no obligation to reimburse you for void credits. If the Bundled Product is discontinued by us and you have outstanding credits pertaining to such Bundled Product that you have been unable to use, at no fault of your own, we will compensate you with substitution Product(s) or voucher(s) at a corresponding value as reasonably advised in our exclusive discretion in all such cases. You will, however in no instance receive any cash or financial compensation.
7. Changes to Products that you subscribe to
As we strive to keep our offer updated, fresh and inspiring, we may amend, change, update or discontinue any Product that you may subscribe to. Such amendment will come into effect at the time indicated by us, but no sooner that the due date of your next recurring payment. Any such amendment, change or discontinuation will always be notified by us to you at least 30 days before they take effect, including by email and/or notice in the Softube Central App or otherwise. Our amendments may include change or update of the Product itself and for Bundled Products, for example, we may remove, add, or change any or all of the Software included in the Bundled Product.
If you do not agree to the change or amendment, you may cancel your subscription.
In addition to, and notwithstanding, any other rights we may have under these Terms, we reserve the right to terminate a paid subscription license for one or more Product(s) at any time, with at least ninety (90) days' notice to you (unless you have materially breached these Terms or the EULA, in which case we may terminate your subscription with immediate effect). Unless we inform you otherwise and subject to your continued payment of the applicable subscription fee, we will allow you to continue to use the Product during the notice period.
Please also see section 5 for our right to amend subscription fees.
8. Title and Rights
1. Title
The title of, and all copyright, trademarks and any other intellectual property rights in or to the Products, including the software in our Products, our website and any documentation related or linked to us and our Products are our own or our licensors property, as more detailed in the EULA. This title remains even though you have downloaded the Software (including software included with Hardware) to your license management account or plugged it into another program or similar. Title to Hardware shall remain with us until full payment of all sums (including VAT and other applicable taxes) due under this or any other agreement from you to us have been made.
2. Intellectual Property Rights
When you purchase or download a Software or software included with Hardware from us, we grant you a non-exclusive license to use the Software or software included with Hardware as a software application or Software to your system, program or Hardware, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable license model and subject to the applicable EULA.

You are not allowed to use the Software for other purposes than those explicitly stated in these Terms and the applicable EULA and in no case for any non-legal activities.
As stated in these terms and the EULA, all Software is licensed to you and thus not sold. In addition, if the applicable license model is a subscription or otherwise time-limited model, your right to use the Software is limited to the relevant license period. Your continued right to use the Product is subject to us receiving recurring pre-payments from you, irrespective of us using the term “purchase”, “buy” or similar to describe our transaction in these Terms. For clarity, the word “purchase” in these Terms does not extend this in any way.

If you discover a defect in the Product, you should try to mitigate the consequences of such defect, if possible. If you are a consumer, possibly applicable statutory rights for you as a consumer in relation to the time period during which you have a right to make a complaint will apply. Furthermore, possibly applicable statutory rights for you as a consumer in relation to your right to remedies of the bug or defective Product will apply.
We continuously update and upgrade our Software and software for Hardware, and we recommend you keep track of the latest news regarding your Software or software for Hardware via your Softube account, Softube Central or if applicable, your license management account.

We will however not be responsible for a bug or defect if you have not installed updates that have been provided and you have received information of the updates, the consequences if such installation is not made and if the lack of installation is not due to shortcomings in the instructions for installation that we have provided. The same applies if you fail to keep the technical environment compliant with the applicable System Requirements for the Product and/or if you fail to cooperate reasonably with us in our efforts to rectify any bugs or defects.
Please note that we cannot keep track of sub-transferred licenses of our Software (i.e. licenses) or pre-owned Hardware, sold between end users. If you buy Software or Hardware from another end user, we can neither ensure the Software’ or the Hardware’s condition nor otherwise take any responsibility for such Software or Hardware.

- The following are excluded from the warranty:
- Used (pre-owned) Hardware.

If instructed by us, the faulty Hardware shall be sent to us at our discretion together with a proof of purchase unambiguously showing the date of purchase. Subject to the foregoing, we shall either repair the defective Hardware free of charge or replace it with a fully functional Hardware product. Hardware which has been replaced shall, if returned to us upon our request, become our property. The warranty period for the Hardware shall neither be extended nor renewed as a result of the provision of services under the limited warranty.
4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT IS OTHERWISE SET OUT HEREIN BUT SUBJECT TO THE SECOND PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION, IN ANY EVENT, NEITHER WE, NOR ANY OF OUR SUPPLIERS AND/OR LICENSORS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE OUR SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE (INCLUDING SOFTWARE INCLUDED WITH SUCH HARDWARE).

These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of Sweden without regard to its choice or conflicts of law principles and in addition, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
