Terms of Sale
These terms cover the transaction — who you are buying from, what you receive, and how delivery, taxes and refunds work. What you may do with the software once you have it is covered separately by the End User License Agreement.
1. Who you are buying from
OpenBar is made by CTRL Colab LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company.
It is sold by Paddle.com Market Limited, which acts as the merchant of record for your purchase. Paddle is the seller on your order: it runs the checkout, takes payment, issues your receipt and invoice, calculates and remits VAT, GST and sales tax for your country, and handles refunds and chargebacks. Your payment details go to Paddle and are never seen by or stored by CTRL Colab.
Your purchase is therefore also subject to Paddle's own buyer terms, in addition to these.
2. What you are buying
A perpetual licence to use OpenBar, as set out in the EULA. In summary:
- One-time purchase of $4.99 USD. Not a subscription. There is no renewal and nothing to cancel.
- Two installations on devices you own or control — for example one Windows machine and one Mac.
- Every 1.x update included, at no further cost. A future major version (2.0 and later) may require a new or upgraded licence.
Prices are shown in US dollars. Paddle may display and charge in your local currency at its own exchange rate, and taxes are added at checkout according to your billing country.
3. Delivery
OpenBar is digital and is delivered by email immediately after payment, usually within a minute or two. That email contains your licence key and the download links for Windows and macOS. There is nothing to ship and no physical product.
If your licence email has not arrived within about fifteen minutes, check your spam folder first, then email hello@ctrlcolab.com and we will resend it. Licence keys are reproducible from the order, so a lost email is never a lost purchase.
4. Activation and system requirements
OpenBar verifies your licence on your own device. There is no activation server, no account, and no requirement to be online — at purchase or ever after. See Section 3 of the EULA.
OpenBar runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and on macOS. It needs operating-system permission for screen capture to provide the measure, color-picker and capture tools; on macOS you will be asked for this the first time you use one of them. Please check that your system meets these requirements before buying — though if it turns out not to, that is exactly the kind of situation the Refund Policy is there for.
5. Refunds
Fourteen days, any reason, no justification needed. The full terms — including how to request one, what happens to your licence, requests made after the window, duplicate charges, and your statutory rights — are set out in the Refund Policy, which forms part of these terms.
6. Price changes
We may change the price of OpenBar at any time. A change never affects a purchase already made: what you paid is what you paid, and a later price rise does not create a further charge. Because this is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, there is no renewal at which a new price could apply.
7. Availability
We may stop selling OpenBar, or stop publishing new versions, at any time. If we do, licences already sold remain valid and the software you have keeps working — it runs entirely on your machine and does not depend on anything we host. We will make reasonable efforts to keep download links available to existing customers.
8. Your data
The application itself collects nothing and transmits nothing; see the Privacy Policy. In connection with a purchase, Paddle collects the billing information needed to process payment and comply with tax law, and we receive your email address and order reference in order to issue your licence and provide support.
9. Governing law and your rights
These terms are governed by the laws applicable at CTRL Colab's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Nothing in them excludes or limits any right you have under mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence that cannot lawfully be excluded — where such a right gives you more than these terms do, that right applies.
If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in force.
