IMPORTANT: LIVE PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER
READ THIS BEFORE USING TIMECODELINK IN ANY LIVE PRODUCTION.
TimecodeLink is designed for live entertainment synchronization. However,
software and hardware environments are inherently unpredictable. By using
this software, you acknowledge and agree that:
- YOU MUST TEST the software thoroughly in your specific hardware and
software configuration prior to any live performance
- YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE for implementing fail-safe measures, backup
systems, and contingency plans for live productions
- WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for any show disruption, synchronization failures,

manual override capabilities.
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By downloading, installing, purchasing, or using TimecodeLink ("the
Software"), you accept and agree to be bound by these terms. If you do
not agree, please do not use the Software.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SOFTWARE
TimecodeLink is desktop software that synchronizes DJ software (Rekordbox,
Serato DJ Pro, Pioneer CDJ/XDJ hardware) with show control systems by
generating SMPTE timecode outputs (MTC, Art-Net, LTC). The Software is
provided "as-is" and may be updated or discontinued at any time.
3. LICENSE GRANT
Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a
limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download and use the
Software for personal or professional DJ performances and show production.
The license is granted to you as an individual. You may install the
Software on multiple devices you own, but the license may not be shared,
resold, or transferred to other users.
4. PAYMENT & REFUNDS
Pricing and payment terms are displayed at the time of purchase. All fees
are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or at our sole

7. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE & COMPATIBILITY
TimecodeLink integrates with third-party software and hardware. We are not
affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any third-party vendors.
NO COMPATIBILITY GUARANTEE: Third-party software and hardware vendors may
release updates that affect TimecodeLink's functionality. We make no
warranty that the Software will remain compatible with future versions of

8. BETA FEATURES & INTERNET-DEPENDENT INTEGRATIONS
Certain integrations within the Software are designated as "Beta" and may
require an active internet connection for authentication or operation.
Currently designated Beta integrations:
- Serato DJ Pro (requires internet connection for authentication)
- CDJ/XDJ via PRO DJ LINK
Beta integrations are provided on an "as-is" basis and may be less stable
than non-beta features. They rely on third-party authentication services
and network connectivity that are outside our control. Beta integrations
may be modified, degraded, or discontinued at any time without notice due
to changes by third-party vendors.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BETA INTEGRATIONS REQUIRING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
ARE NOT SUITABLE AS A SOLE TIMECODE SOURCE FOR MISSION-CRITICAL LIVE
PRODUCTIONS. You are solely responsible for ensuring backup timecode
sources and redundancy when using Beta features in live environments.
