CRATE RAT Terms of Service and End-User License Agreement

CRATE RAT is a local-first desktop application for macOS and Windows. It allows a user to submit a supported media link, inspect available media, retrieve an available audio track using third-party open-source components such as yt-dlp, convert compatible media using FFmpeg/FFprobe, optionally add metadata or artwork, verify the resulting file, and save it to a user-selected local folder.

CRATE RAT does not grant ownership of, or permission to download, any third-party content. You must independently possess all rights and authorizations required for each use.

The Privacy Policy explains which information remains local, which limited information is transmitted for licensing or updates, and how blockchain transactions are handled.

CRATE RAT is not directed to children under 13. You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority where you live to purchase CRATE RAT. A person below the age of majority may use the Software only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who accepts responsibility under these Terms, where permitted by law.

CRATE RAT may be offered worldwide except in jurisdictions restricted by law, sanctions, payment-provider rules, technical availability, or Company policy. We may refuse, limit, suspend, or discontinue availability in any jurisdiction when reasonably necessary.

Subject to payment of applicable fees and continued compliance with these Terms, Company grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, perpetual license to install and use the purchased CRATE RAT application on up to three activated devices at one time.

The standard license permits lawful:

• personal use;
• professional DJ and creator use;
• internal business use; and
• commercial client work performed by you,

provided that you do not resell, sublicense, redistribute, rent, lease, transfer, or provide the Software or license key to another person.

The license applies only to the specific CRATE RAT application purchased and updates released for that application. It does not automatically include separately sold applications, add-ons, services, content, subscriptions, or other future CRATE RAT-branded products.

The Software is licensed, not sold. Company and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Software, code, design, artwork, trademarks, product names, and other intellectual property.

Except where applicable law expressly permits the activity despite these restrictions, you may not:

• copy, modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of the Software;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, bypass, or attempt to derive its source code;
• bypass, disable, manipulate, or interfere with license activation, validation, device limits, payment verification, or security controls;
• share, sell, transfer, publish, expose, or commercially exploit a license key;
• remove or obscure proprietary notices;
• use the Software or its non-public components to build a competing product or service; or
• enable another person to do any prohibited act.

Third-party components remain governed by their applicable open-source licenses, as identified in the Software's Third-Party Notices.

CRATE RAT requires an active license. Activation may require your purchase email, license key, operating system, application version, and a one-way hashed device fingerprint.

Each standard license permits up to three active devices. The web-based license manager is intended to allow you to:

• view activated devices;
• deactivate an individual device; and
• recover or resend a license key.

Deactivating a device does not transfer the license to another person. Licenses are never transferable.

Company may periodically revalidate a license, generally approximately every 48 hours. A temporary network or server failure will not ordinarily disable a previously valid license during an applicable offline grace period. A revoked, refunded, fraudulent, terminated, or otherwise invalid license may stop working after the Software receives confirmed status from the license service.

You are responsible for safeguarding your license key and for activity performed through your activated installations.

The purchased license includes future updates that Company releases for that purchased CRATE RAT application. It does not guarantee that updates will contain particular features or be released on a particular schedule.

CRATE RAT may connect to Company's update service and to approved third-party hosts for application components such as yt-dlp, FFmpeg, or FFprobe. Updates may be necessary for security, compatibility, licensing, or continued operation.

Company may add, modify, replace, or discontinue features. We do not guarantee continued compatibility with every operating system, hardware configuration, media source, third-party website, protocol, codec, API, or open-source dependency.

If CRATE RAT is discontinued, Company will provide advance notice where reasonably practical. A valid perpetual license may remain usable where technically possible, but continued functionality, license-server availability, updates, and third-party source compatibility are not guaranteed.

CRATE RAT may be offered as a one-time purchase granting the perpetual license described above. The catalog price, supported payment assets, applicable taxes, network fees, quote duration, burn rate, and promotional reward—if any—will be displayed at checkout.

Company may change prices, supported payment methods, burn rates, promotions, or product packages prospectively. A change will not alter the specific payment and burn terms already approved in a completed wallet transaction.

CRATE RAT may accept payment in Solana's native asset (SOL) or the $CRATE token when the applicable payment method is available.

By approving a blockchain transaction, you acknowledge that:

• blockchain transactions are generally irreversible;
• you are responsible for confirming the correct network, wallet, recipient, asset, amount, email address, and transaction details before approval;
• you are responsible for applicable network and wallet fees;
• crypto-asset prices and network conditions may change rapidly;
• a checkout quote is valid only for the period displayed;
• an expired quote may require a new calculation and transaction;
• Company is not responsible for transactions sent on the wrong network, to the wrong address, using the wrong asset, or with incorrect information supplied by you; and
• no crypto refund is available except where applicable law requires one.

Company may refuse or hold license issuance when a transaction is not detected, is incomplete, is inconsistent with the displayed quote, fails required confirmations, appears fraudulent, or cannot be reconciled.

Nothing in these Terms guarantees that SOL or $CRATE will maintain any value, liquidity, utility, market, exchange listing, or availability.

When a $CRATE checkout includes a token burn:

• the applicable burn rate and estimated burn amount will be displayed before wallet approval;
• the burn may execute as part of the approved payment transaction;
• a successfully completed burn is permanent and cannot be reversed; and
• Company may change the burn rate for future transactions, subject to disclosure before approval.

Burning tokens reduces the applicable token supply as reflected on-chain. It does not guarantee or imply any increase in price, liquidity, demand, market value, or financial return.

Company may offer promotional $CRATE rewards under separately displayed eligibility terms. Reward programs may be modified, suspended, restricted, or discontinued prospectively at any time.

Once Company accepts a qualifying transaction under displayed checkout terms, the stated reward for that transaction will be processed subject to transaction verification, technical availability, fraud and abuse review, sanctions and legal restrictions, accurate wallet information, and the specific promotional terms.

Promotional tokens may have no monetary value, may lack liquidity, may be unusable, and may never become eligible for mainnet use. Receipt of a reward does not guarantee future rewards, token value, product access, exchange support, or financial return.

CRATE RAT may provide Solana Devnet checkout, licensing, burn, reward, or wallet demonstrations. Devnet SOL and test tokens have no monetary value and are not mainnet assets.

By using a Devnet feature, you acknowledge that:

• it is experimental and may be incomplete, reset, suspended, or discontinued;
• transactions may fail, display incorrectly, or be permanently unavailable;
• test balances, licenses, rewards, allocations, and statistics may be reset;
• test participation does not guarantee eligibility for a mainnet token, reward, license, allocation, airdrop, or product benefit; and
• roadmap items, allocation models, burn rates, and launch conditions described during testing are proposals unless expressly finalized.

Feedback, bug reports, suggestions, and test results you voluntarily submit may be used by Company without restriction or compensation to improve CRATE RAT, provided Company does not publicly identify you without permission.

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, purchases and blockchain transactions are final and non-refundable.

You bear responsibility for incorrect information entered or approved during checkout, including an incorrect email address, wallet address, network, asset, amount, or recipient. Company may attempt to assist at its discretion when technically and legally possible, but does not guarantee correction, recovery, reissuance, or reimbursement.

An unauthorized or abusive chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute may result in suspension or termination of the associated license. Nothing in this section limits non-waivable consumer rights or your right to dispute genuinely unauthorized transactions.

You may use CRATE RAT only with content that you own or are legally authorized to download, convert, store, or use, including your own recordings, content made available with sufficient permission, public-domain works, appropriately licensed Creative Commons works, and other material for which you possess the necessary rights.

CRATE RAT does not grant copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, synchronization, reproduction, distribution, public-performance, or other rights in any content.

You may not use CRATE RAT to:

• infringe or facilitate infringement of a third party's rights;
• violate the terms or rules of a media source or platform;
• bypass or attempt to bypass DRM, paywalls, login restrictions, geographic restrictions, technical protection measures, or access controls;
• download or distribute content without sufficient authorization; or
• facilitate piracy or other unlawful activity.

You are solely responsible for determining whether your intended use is lawful.

You may not use CRATE RAT:

• for an unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, or malicious purpose;
• to distribute malware or harmful code;
• to scrape, overload, disrupt, attack, or abuse a third-party service;
• to evade rate limits or access restrictions;
• to misrepresent your identity, payment, wallet, license ownership, or authorization;
• to interfere with other users or Company systems; or
• in violation of applicable export, sanctions, privacy, consumer-protection, or intellectual-property laws.

These Terms remain effective while you use CRATE RAT. You may stop using the Software and uninstall it at any time.

Company may immediately suspend or terminate a license when, in its reasonable judgment, the license:

• was obtained through fraud, theft, unauthorized payment, or material misrepresentation;
• has been shared, resold, transferred, or used beyond authorized device limits;
• is used to bypass licensing, security, payment, burn, or access controls;
• is associated with infringement, unlawful activity, abuse, or a material violation of these Terms; or
• creates material legal, security, operational, or third-party risk.

Company is not required to provide a cure period before termination. Where appropriate and lawful, Company may provide notice or an opportunity to contact support. Termination does not reverse a blockchain transaction or burn and does not create a refund right except where required by law.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, authorized-use obligations, disclaimers, indemnification, liability limits, dispute provisions, and miscellaneous terms—will survive.

The CRATE RAT Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms. CRATE RAT is designed so that media files, local download history, metadata, artwork, output folders, and application settings remain on the user's device and are not uploaded to Company.

Limited information is transmitted for licensing, updates, checkout, security, and user-requested support. Solana transaction information is public by design. You are responsible for protecting your wallet, private keys, seed phrase, license key, email account, and devices. Company will never require your wallet seed phrase or private key.

CRATE RAT depends on third-party software, networks, media sources, hosts, and infrastructure that Company does not control. This may include yt-dlp, FFmpeg/FFprobe, a user-selected media source, software-update hosts, email-delivery services, database and backup providers, and Solana RPC infrastructure.

Your use of a third-party site or service remains subject to that provider's terms and privacy practices. Company does not warrant the legality, accuracy, security, availability, content, or continued compatibility of third-party services.

Company provides reasonable-efforts email support through thegoldstandardgrp@gmail.com. No particular response or resolution time is guaranteed. Company may prioritize critical license activation and access issues over general questions, feature requests, or third-party compatibility problems.

Support does not include legal advice, copyright-clearance decisions, wallet recovery, private-key recovery, guaranteed recovery of blockchain assets, or assistance facilitating prohibited activity.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CRATE RAT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, OR COMPATIBILITY.

Company does not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with every source or device, or that downloaded or converted files will meet your requirements. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from or related to:

• your breach of these Terms;
• content you download, convert, store, distribute, perform, publish, or otherwise use through CRATE RAT;
• your infringement or violation of a third party's rights;
• your violation of a third-party service's terms; or
• your unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive activity.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Company's conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF DATA, CONTENT, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR CRYPTO ASSETS; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THIRD-PARTY SOURCES, WALLET ERRORS, NETWORK CONDITIONS, FAILED TRANSACTIONS, TOKEN VOLATILITY, OR INABILITY TO USE CRATE RAT.

COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO CRATE RAT OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE AFFECTED LICENSE.

These exclusions and limits apply regardless of the legal theory and even if Company was advised that damages were possible. They do not limit liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

You agree to comply with applicable export-control, import, sanctions, and restricted-party laws. You represent that you are not prohibited from receiving the Software or participating in an applicable transaction. Company may block or terminate access when reasonably necessary to comply with law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except to the extent mandatory law in your jurisdiction applies.

Before filing an ordinary lawsuit, the parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through mediation. The mediation method, provider, format, location, schedule, and allocation of mediator fees will be selected by mutual written agreement. Either party may propose remote mediation.

If the parties cannot agree on mediation arrangements within 30 days after a written mediation request, or if mediation concludes without resolution, either party may proceed in the state or federal courts located in Virginia. Each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts, subject to any non-waivable consumer right.

Nothing prevents either party from seeking temporary or emergency injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, confidential information, systems, wallets, or security, or from bringing a claim that applicable law permits without prior mediation.

Company may revise these Terms prospectively to reflect changes in the Software, licensing, payments, token utility, law, security, or business operations. The “Last updated” date will be changed when revisions are published.

For material changes, Company will provide reasonable notice through the Software, checkout flow, website, or license email. A material change will not retroactively alter a completed blockchain transaction. Where applicable law requires renewed consent, Company will request it.

CRATE RAT does not host or publish users' downloaded media. Questions or complaints concerning CRATE RAT, licensing, privacy, or alleged misuse may be sent to thegoldstandardgrp@gmail.com.

The presence of a third-party link or compatibility with a source does not indicate endorsement, affiliation, or authorization by that source.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, applicable checkout disclosures, and Third-Party Notices constitute the agreement governing CRATE RAT.

Order of precedence. Transaction-specific terms displayed and approved at checkout control solely for that transaction if they conflict with a general pricing, quote, burn, or reward term in these Terms.

Severability. If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remainder will continue.

No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or a license. Company may assign them in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

No agency. These Terms do not create an employment, partnership, franchise, fiduciary, joint-venture, or agency relationship.

Electronic communications. You consent to receive license delivery, validation, security, legal, and product-update communications electronically at the license email.

Headings. Headings are for convenience and do not limit interpretation.
