Terms
These terms are the agreement between you and Alan Daniel (“we”, “us”), who makes Pane. By installing or using Pane you agree to them. If you don’t, don’t install it, and if you’ve bought it, ask for a refund.
Your license
When you buy Pane you get a license key. It gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to:
- use Pane on up to 5 Macs you own or control at a time. Deactivating a Mac frees its place for another;
- use every version of Pane released in the year after you bought the key, and keep using those versions for as long as you like. A version released after that year needs a new key.
A license for a company covers the 5 Macs of one person. For a team, buy a key per person.
You buy a license to use Pane, not Pane itself: we keep all rights to the software, its name and its design.
What you agree not to do
- share your key publicly, or with people who haven’t bought their own;
- sell, rent or sublicense Pane or your key;
- get around the license check, or reverse engineer Pane except where the law allows it regardless of this agreement;
- use Pane in a way that breaks the law.
If you break these terms we may disable your key. We’ll tell you first and give you a chance to fix it, unless the problem is clear abuse such as a key posted publicly.
Buying
Polar (polar.sh) is the merchant of record for Pane: it takes your payment, handles sales tax and VAT, and issues your receipt and key, under Polar’s terms. Prices are in US dollars; any launch price is shown on trypane.app. The launch price has no end date. Pane is a one-time purchase: nothing renews automatically. Refunds are covered on the Refunds page.
Updates
Pane updates itself: it checks for new versions every few hours and installs them when you restart it or click Restart to Update. Updates during your year may add, change or remove features. We don’t promise any particular update or feature, or a date for one.
Pane and macOS
Pane works by moving and transforming other apps’ windows, and it relies on parts of macOS that Apple doesn’t document. Apple can change those parts in any update to macOS. We work to keep Pane working on new versions of macOS and ship fixes through updates, but we can’t guarantee Pane will work on a macOS version released after you bought it, or keep working the same way.
Pane needs the Accessibility permission, which lets it see and control other apps’ windows. What it does with that access is described in the Privacy page.
No warranty
Pane is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we make no promises beyond what this page says, including that Pane will be free of bugs, will suit your purpose, or will never interrupt your work. Keep your own work saved and backed up: Pane moves windows, it doesn’t save documents.
Nothing on this page takes away rights you have under consumer law where you live that can’t be waived by agreement.
Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as lost data, profits or time) from using Pane, and our total liability for any claim about Pane is limited to what you paid for it.
Ending this agreement
You can stop using Pane at any time. This agreement ends if you break it and don’t fix the problem after we’ve told you about it; then you must stop using Pane. The sections on ownership, warranty and liability still apply after it ends.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms. A change applies to versions of Pane released after it, and the date at the top of this page will change. The version you bought stays under the terms you accepted.
