Terms

1. Who you buy from

OptionSpace is sold through Polar (Polar Software, Inc.). Polar is the merchant of record: it is the seller named on your receipt, runs the checkout, takes your payment, charges and pays the tax, and sends you the licence key. The purchase itself is therefore also subject to the Polar buyer terms.

We make the software, grant you the licence under these terms and provide the support. If anything is wrong with your purchase or the app, write to us first: support@optionspace.app.

2. Price and delivery

• The licence costs €50. For buyers in the EU and the UK this price includes VAT. In other countries local sales tax may be added at the checkout. Polar shows you the total amount before you pay.
• You pay once. There is no subscription and no renewal.
• There is no free trial. Instead there is the money-back guarantee in section 8.
• Right after the payment Polar sends your licence key to the email address you gave at the checkout. You download the app from this website.

3. What you need

• A Mac with macOS 15 or later and Apple Silicon. Intel Macs are not supported.
• An internet connection to activate the licence, to download the speech model once (about 600 MB), to check the licence about every 7 days and to get updates. In between, the app works offline. If it has not been able to check the licence for 30 days, it pauses until it is online again.
• The permissions the app asks for in macOS, such as access to the microphone.

OptionSpace currently understands English only.

4. Your licence

When you have paid, we give you a licence to use OptionSpace. The licence:

• does not expire;
• is for one person: you, or, if a business buys it, the one person the business gives it to;
• lets that person activate and use OptionSpace on up to 5 Macs at the same time. You can deactivate a Mac to free its place for another one;
• covers private and professional use;
• is not exclusive and cannot be passed on to others, unless the law gives you that right.

The software is licensed, not sold: all rights in OptionSpace that these terms do not give you stay with us. Parts of the app that come from others, such as open-source components and the speech model, are subject to their own licences, which continue to apply to those parts.

5. What you may not do

• share, publish or sell your licence key, or let others use it beyond section 4;
• get around the licence check or the limit on the number of Macs;
• copy, rent out or redistribute the app;
• decompile or modify the app, except where the law expressly allows it, for example to make it work together with other software;
• use the app or our online services to break the law, send us unlawful content, or disturb or overload our services.

6. Activation and online services

To activate OptionSpace, the app sends your licence key and a few details about your Mac to our licence service; afterwards it checks the licence there about every 7 days. What is stored is described in the Privacy policy.

Besides the app we provide this website, the licence service and, if you subscribe, an email newsletter. These online services are free of charge. You can stop using them at any time: deactivate your Macs in the app, or unsubscribe from the newsletter with the link in every email. The website works in any current browser.

7. Updates

Your licence covers the version you bought and the updates we publish for it. We decide which improvements we publish and when. These terms do not promise that a future major version is included.

If you are a consumer, we provide the updates, including security updates, that are needed to keep the app working as described, for as long as the law requires.

8. 14-day money-back guarantee

Not happy? Email support@optionspace.app within 14 days of your purchase and you get a full refund, including the tax you paid. You do not have to give a reason. The refund goes back to the payment method you used, through Polar. Your licence is then deactivated.

This guarantee is something we offer on top of the rights the law gives you. It does not replace or limit them.

9. Your rights as a consumer

You are a consumer if you buy mainly for purposes outside your trade, business or profession. If the law where you live gives other buyers the same protection, this section applies to them too.

• Right of withdrawal. Consumers in the EU can normally withdraw from an online purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. For digital content that is delivered at once, this right can end early if you expressly agreed to that at the checkout. It makes no difference in practice: under section 8 you get a full refund within 14 days of your purchase in any case.
• If the app is faulty. If OptionSpace does not work as described, you have the statutory rights for digital content: to have it put right and, if that does not happen in reasonable time, to a price reduction or to end the contract and get your money back. Write to us and we will take care of it, together with Polar where needed.

Nothing in these terms takes away or limits rights that the law gives you as a consumer.

10. Your content and the results

What you dictate, and the screenshots and files you add, stay on your Mac and remain yours. We have no access to them.

Speech recognition makes mistakes. Read the text before you use it, in particular before you send it or paste it into a terminal or a coding agent that acts on it.

11. Liability

If you are a consumer, we are liable as the law provides. These terms do not limit that.

If you buy for a business, the following applies. We provide OptionSpace as described on this website and give no further warranties; the statutory warranty for defects is excluded. We are not liable for lost profit, lost data or indirect damage, and our total liability is limited to the price you paid for the licence. These limits do not apply to damage we cause intentionally, or where the law does not allow liability to be limited.

12. Discount codes

A discount code from the newsletter gives 20% off the regular price of one licence, which is the price in section 2. Where that price includes VAT, so does the reduced price. It is personal, can be used once, cannot be combined with other discounts or exchanged for money, and is entered at the Polar checkout. It has no expiry date.

13. Ending the licence

You can stop using OptionSpace at any time. If you get a refund, the licence ends and is deactivated.

We may deactivate a licence if its key has been published or shared in breach of these terms, or if the payment is reversed. Where possible we write to you first and give you the chance to put things right. Your statutory rights are not affected.

14. Complaints and disputes

If something is wrong, email support@optionspace.app and tell us what happened. We reply within 14 days.

If we cannot settle a complaint and you are a consumer, you can use out-of-court dispute resolution, for example with the help of a consumer organisation or, in the EU, the European Consumer Centre in your country. Taking part is voluntary for both sides. You can also go to court.

15. Applicable law

These terms are governed by Polish law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you can bring a case before the courts of that country.

If you buy for a business, disputes are decided by the court that is responsible for our registered address.

16. Changes to these terms

The terms that were in force when you bought apply to your licence. We may change the terms for the future, for example when the app or the law changes; the date at the top shows the current version. A change does not reduce rights you already have, unless you agree to it.
