End-User License Agreement (EULA)
This End-User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“Licensee”) and Gapjumper (operated by Nick Hill, nick.hill@gapjumper.com) governing your installation and use of the Charisma software instrument (VST3, AU, and Standalone applications), factory presets, drum kits, groove patterns, wavetables, and accompanying documentation (collectively, the “Software”).
1. Commercial License Grant & 3-Seat Activation
Upon valid purchase of a Charisma license, Gapjumper grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual right to install and activate the Software on up to three (3) concurrent computers that you own or personally control (for example, a studio workstation, mobile laptop, and backup machine).
- Offline Verification: Once activated online or via an air-gapped
Charisma.charismalicensefile, verification executes locally without an always-on internet connection. - Seat Mobility: You may deactivate a seat inside the Charisma License Manager at any time to move your activation to another machine.
- Backup Copies: You may keep archival copies of the installer and your license file solely for personal backup and disaster recovery.
2. 15-Minute Session Trial Mode
Unlicensed installations operate in Evaluation Mode for up to 15 minutes per session so you can test DAW compatibility, CPU performance, and sonic capabilities prior to purchase. You agree not to automate resets, patch binaries, or circumvent the evaluation timer.
3. Royalty-Free Commercial Music & Media Production
All musical compositions, sound design, stems, and audio recordings you create using Charisma—including works incorporating the 1,109 factory presets, 16 drum kits, and 48 groove patterns—are 100% royalty-free for commercial and non-commercial release, broadcast, film, television, video games, client commissions, and live performance.
You may not record, sample, export, or package Charisma’s isolated single-note outputs, factory presets, or drum hits for redistribution or resale as a standalone sample pack, soundbank, preset collection, or competing software/hardware virtual instrument.
4. Restrictions
You agree not to:
- Sublicense, rent, lease, share publicly, or resell your license key or
Charisma.charismalicensefiles without Gapjumper’s prior written transfer approval. - Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or modify the Software or bypass its Ed25519 cryptographic signature checks, except to the minimum extent expressly permitted by mandatory applicable law.
- Remove or alter proprietary copyright, trademark, or attribution notices included in the Software or documentation.
5. Updates & Support
A Charisma v1.x license includes free maintenance updates, bug fixes, and library additions released within the 1.x product series. Direct technical support is provided via nick.hill@gapjumper.com.
6. Intellectual Property & Third-Party Notices
Gapjumper retains all ownership, copyright, and intellectual property rights in the Software. “Charisma” and “Gapjumper” are trademarks of Gapjumper. VST is a registered trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH. Cryptographic verification uses Monocypher (BSD-2-Clause / CC0).
7. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Software is provided “AS IS” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gapjumper shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, loss of data, studio downtime, or lost profits arising from use of the Software, and Gapjumper’s aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you for the Software license. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits statutory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
8. Refunds & Termination
Purchases are covered by our 14-Day Refund Policy. If a license is refunded, charged back, or terminated for material breach of this Agreement, the license key is revoked and you must cease using and delete copies of your Charisma.charismalicense file.
