Terms of service. ​

Effective: 16 May 2026

01 What you're agreeing to ​

By using vl-studios.com or the VL Studio desktop application, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please stop using the site or the app.

02 About us ​

Verus Lux Studios is a sole-proprietor software studio based in St. Petersburg, Florida. References to "we," "us," and "our" mean Verus Lux Studios. "VL Studio" is our flagship desktop application.

03 Your license to use VL Studio ​

When you obtain VL Studio through the Microsoft Store or any other channel we authorize, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the application on devices you own or control, for any lawful purpose — including paid live performance, studio work, and commercial recording.

You may not:

• Redistribute, resell, or sublicense the app or its installer.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, except to the extent your local law permits this regardless of contract.
• Remove copyright, trademark, or attribution notices.
• Use the app to violate the law, infringe someone else's rights, or attempt to compromise any system you don't own.

04 Updates ​

We may release updates to VL Studio that add features, fix bugs, improve performance, change behavior, or remove features that no longer make sense. The Microsoft Store typically handles delivery of these updates. Continued use of an updated version is acceptance of these terms in their then-current form.

05 Beta software ​

While VL Studio is in public beta, the app is provided free of charge. We may change features, file formats, or behavior between beta releases. We recommend you keep your own backups of important presets, songs, and setlists during the beta period — VL Studio includes a one-click backup export in Settings for exactly this purpose.

06 Purchases and refunds (Microsoft Store) ​

Once VL Studio leaves beta, purchases are processed by Microsoft under Microsoft's own terms. Refunds are handled by Microsoft according to their refund policy. We do not have direct access to your billing details and cannot process refunds on Microsoft's behalf — please contact Microsoft Store support for billing matters.

07 AI features and third-party services ​

VL Studio includes optional AI-powered features that work with API keys you supply for third-party providers (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Mistral, Grok, Ollama, or other OpenAI-compatible providers). Your use of those providers is governed by each provider's own terms and may involve charges billed by the provider for API usage.

We are not responsible for:

• Charges incurred with your AI provider.
• The content, accuracy, or appropriateness of AI-generated responses.
• Any provider's downtime, rate limits, policy changes, or termination of your account with them.
• Any data your provider collects, stores, or uses — that's governed by their privacy policy and terms.

AI is a tool. Verify what it generates before using it on stage or in a recording.

08 Hardware compatibility ​

VL Studio is designed to work with the TC-Helicon VL3X. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TC-Helicon or its parent company. "VL3X" and "TC-Helicon" are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here only to identify compatibility.

09 No warranty ​

VL Studio and this website are provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties — express, implied, or statutory — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation. Live performance involves risk; back up your work and keep a fallback plan that doesn't depend on any single piece of software, including ours.

10 Limitation of liability ​

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Verus Lux Studios will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of VL Studio or this website.

Our total cumulative liability for any claim relating to VL Studio or this website is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us for VL Studio in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) twenty US dollars (US$20). Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations; in those, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

11 Termination ​

You can stop using VL Studio at any time by uninstalling it. We may discontinue VL Studio, end-of-life specific features, or terminate your license if you materially breach these terms. Sections that should reasonably survive termination — including license restrictions, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law — will continue to apply.

12 Governing law & disputes ​

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Pinellas County, Florida, unless your local consumer-protection law requires otherwise.

13 Changes to these terms ​

We may update these terms. The current version will always be at this URL with the effective date at the top. For substantive changes that affect your rights, we'll provide reasonable advance notice through the app, the website, or both.
