These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the dBaton CUE software plugin and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Javier Hernández Gil (NIF: ES74001347C), sole proprietor trading as dBaton, with registered address at San Ramón 30, 03400 Villena, Alicante, Spain ("dBaton", "we", "us", "our"). See our Legal Notice for full provider details.
By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the Service, you ("you", "the user", "the licensee") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the email address associated with your license. Continued use of the Service after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
dBaton CUE is an audio plugin (AU, VST3, AAX format) for macOS and Windows. dBaton CUE enables real-time streaming of audio from a digital audio workstation ("DAW") to web browsers via WebRTC peer-to-peer technology. The Service includes:
Audio is transmitted directly between the plugin and the listener's browser using encrypted peer-to-peer connections. No audio data passes through or is stored on dBaton's servers.
3.1 One-time purchase. Upon purchase of a one-time license at the published price, dBaton grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the dBaton CUE plugin on up to three (3) machines that you own or control, for personal or professional use.
3.2 Rent-to-own. Upon subscribing to the rent-to-own plan, dBaton grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the dBaton CUE plugin for the duration of your active subscription. After completing the full payment term as specified at the time of purchase (currently sixteen (16) monthly payments of $12.50 / €12.50, totalling $200 / €200), the license converts automatically to a perpetual license with the same terms as Section 3.1.
3.3 Trial. dBaton may offer a time-limited trial of the Service at no charge. Trial licenses are subject to these same Terms. dBaton reserves the right to modify or discontinue the trial offer at any time.
3.4 What the license does not include. The license grants the right to use the compiled software. It does not grant any rights to the source code, algorithms, design, or any other intellectual property of dBaton beyond the right of use described above.
You may not:
Each license allows activation on up to three (3) machines simultaneously. You may deactivate a machine at any time through the plugin interface to free up an activation slot. If you need to activate on additional machines, contact support@dbaton.com.
dBaton stores a machine identifier and activation timestamp for each activation. This data is used solely for license enforcement. See our Privacy Policy for details.
6.1 Merchant of record. All payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Ltd ("Paddle"), which acts as the merchant of record. Paddle handles payment processing, tax calculation, invoicing, and VAT compliance on behalf of dBaton. By purchasing the Service, you also agree to Paddle's Terms of Use.
6.2 Pricing. Prices are displayed in euros (€) and may be displayed in your local currency by Paddle. All applicable taxes (including VAT) are calculated and collected by Paddle based on your location.
6.3 One-time purchase. The full amount is charged at the time of purchase.
6.4 Rent-to-own subscription. You will be charged the monthly amount on the same day each month. If a payment fails, Paddle may retry the charge. If payment cannot be collected after retries, your license will be suspended until payment is resolved. After completing the full payment term, no further payments are required and the license becomes perpetual.
6.5 Cancellation of rent-to-own. You may cancel your rent-to-own subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, you will retain access until the end of the current paid billing period. After that, the license will be deactivated. Payments already made are not refundable (see Section 10 for the refund policy). If you re-subscribe later, previously made payments do not count toward ownership.
7.1 Signaling infrastructure. The Service relies on signaling servers hosted on Cloudflare Workers to establish connections between the plugin and browser listeners. This infrastructure is provided on a best-effort basis.
7.2 Network relay (TURN). When a direct peer-to-peer connection cannot be established (for example, due to restrictive firewalls or network configurations), the Service uses third-party TURN relay servers to route audio. This relay service has an associated cost to dBaton for each session.
7.3 Fair use. The license includes a generous allowance of relay usage suitable for professional use. dBaton reserves the right to set and enforce reasonable limits on relay usage to ensure fair access for all users and to maintain the sustainability of the Service. If your relay usage consistently and significantly exceeds normal professional use, dBaton may:
In no circumstance will your license be revoked due to relay usage. The plugin will continue to function for all direct (non-relayed) connections regardless of relay limits.
7.4 Third-party services. The Service depends on third-party infrastructure including, but not limited to, Cloudflare (hosting, signaling), and TURN relay providers. dBaton is not responsible for outages, changes, or discontinuation of third-party services beyond our control. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain service continuity, including migrating to alternative providers if necessary.
7.5 No uptime guarantee. The Service is provided without a formal service level agreement (SLA). While we aim for high availability, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Temporary interruptions may occur for maintenance, updates, or due to circumstances beyond our control.
7.6 Service continuity. dBaton commits to maintaining dBaton CUE for a minimum period of 24 months from the date of your purchase. After this period, continued support and compatibility updates are provided on a best-effort basis. In the event of service discontinuation, Licensee will receive no less than 90 days' prior written notice via email.
8.1 Updates. dBaton CUE includes all minor and patch updates (e.g. 1.x.x) at no additional cost. Major version upgrades may be subject to a separate purchase.
8.2 Support. dBaton provides support via email at support@dbaton.com. We will make reasonable efforts to respond to support requests within a reasonable time frame, but do not guarantee response times.
The Service, including all code, design, trademarks, logos, and documentation, is the intellectual property of dBaton and is protected by copyright and other applicable laws. Your license grants you the right to use the software; it does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property.
You retain all rights to any audio content you transmit through the Service. dBaton does not access, monitor, record, or claim any rights over your audio content.
Please see our Refund Policy for full details. The following is a summary.
10.1 Right of withdrawal. If you are an EU consumer, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of purchase, unless you have activated the plugin (entered your serial number against our servers).

10.3 Rent-to-own. You may cancel your subscription at any time. Monthly payments for periods already in use are not refundable. The most recent monthly payment may be refunded within 24 hours of the charge, provided the plugin was not used during that billing period — contact support@dbaton.com within 24 hours to request this.
10.4 Processing. All refunds are processed through Paddle within 5 business days of approval. Upon refund, your license key is deactivated immediately.
