DOWNLOAD AGREEMENT / VERSION 2026-10-31-r1 · OCTOBER 31, 2026
Software Download & Beta Testing Agreement
A clear agreement before you download
This agreement is between you and Peppers Ghost Innovations LLC, operating under the Peppers.Ghöst brand (we, us). It covers our software downloads, including Pepper’s Theorem, Ghost Theory FX, Theorem Standalone, Pocket for Android, PeppersGhost VR, updates, supplied factory content and documentation. By checking the agreement box and requesting a download, you affirmatively accept this version. If you act for an organization, you confirm authority to bind it. If you cannot agree, do not download. Separate purchase terms and rights that cannot legally be waived continue to apply.
Your permission to create
We grant the personal or organization identified by the applicable invitation, account or purchase a limited, non-exclusive license to install and use authorized copies on devices it owns or controls. Paid rights, device limits and subscription periods remain as stated at purchase. An invited beta license permits evaluation and authorized creative use; it does not promise a future paid license, lifetime membership or unfinished feature. You may use authorized factory sounds in your musical work and share or sell audio you render through the software. Your original music, recordings, performances, equations and self-created presets remain yours.
Protect the work behind the tools
We and our licensors retain rights in the software’s protected code, original artwork, mascot, documentation, proprietary factory assets and branding. Do not redistribute installers, APKs, source code, private download links, invitation codes, license credentials or standalone proprietary factory assets; sell unauthorized access; remove ownership notices; or present an altered copy as our official product. Do not copy protected material into another product without permission. General mathematical principles, public facts, your independent work and lawful independent development are not claimed as our exclusive property.
Respect the software and its separate licenses
Do not defeat access controls, extract proprietary source code, or reverse engineer, decompile or modify the software except where applicable law permits that activity despite a contractual restriction. Do not use the software to infringe others’ rights or compromise systems. Open-source and third-party components remain governed by their own licenses; this agreement does not remove permissions those licenses grant. A normal musical rendering is permitted; redistribution of the underlying proprietary raw factory library is not.
Beta testers: explore, report and keep private materials private
Beta testers receive unfinished software that can change, fail or become unavailable. Back up important work and test in a copy of production sessions. Do not share your private invitation, installer or unpublished source, security information or roadmap that we provide privately and clearly identify as confidential. Confidentiality does not cover material already lawfully public, independently developed, lawfully received without a duty of confidence, or disclosed as legally required or protected by law. Honest reviews and normal screenshots of publicly available features are welcome; positive reviews are never required. Any broader confidentiality arrangement must be separately agreed.
Feedback without giving away your creations
Feedback is voluntary. You permit us to use the suggestions and bug reports you choose to send to improve and market our products, without payment or attribution obligation. This is a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission; it does not transfer ownership of your music, recordings, independently created software or unrelated confidential material. Do not send information you lack permission to share.
Use sound and immersive features responsibly
Start at a comfortable listening level. Use only audio and other content you have permission to use. In VR maintain a clear physical play area and stop if you feel discomfort. Graphs, materials, sonification and orbital systems are simplified educational or artistic models, not calibrated scientific measurements, medical treatments or promises of health benefits. Generic headphone spatial perception differs among listeners. You remain responsible for backing up your files and checking results before relying on them.
If there is a breach
We may suspend future access or terminate the affected license for a material breach, subject to applicable law and existing paid rights. Where practicable, we will give notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure; urgent infringement, security misuse or ongoing unauthorized distribution may require immediate action. Stop the unauthorized use and remove unlawful copies when required; your own independent creative work remains yours. We may seek proven damages, available statutory remedies and injunctive relief under ordinary legal standards. To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party in an action enforcing this agreement may recover reasonable court-awarded legal fees and costs. There is no automatic fine, forfeiture of your music or guaranteed court outcome.
Availability and reasonable limits
To the fullest extent allowed by law, beta software is provided as is and as available, without a warranty of uninterrupted operation, suitability for a particular purpose or compatibility with every device. For paid products, mandatory consumer remedies and any express purchase commitments remain intact. To the extent legally permitted, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits or lost data; our aggregate liability arising from the affected software is limited to the greater of US$100 or the amount you paid us for it in the preceding 12 months. These limits do not exclude fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or other liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Questions, disputes and future versions
Contact peppersghost.io@gmail.com so we can try to resolve a problem. Colorado law and applicable United States federal law govern, subject to mandatory rights in your place of residence. Courts in Colorado with proper jurisdiction are the agreed forum where the law permits; mandatory consumer jurisdiction rights remain unaffected. Either party may seek urgent relief or preserve a filing deadline. A later agreement applies to a later affirmative acceptance, not silently and retroactively to earlier conduct. If a provision cannot be enforced, the remainder continues to the extent lawful.
Your download acceptance record
The website keeps a private record of the agreement version, product and build, download time, random receipt identifier, and a keyed digest of network/browser information to document this request and protect delivery. The record does not contain your invitation code or imported audio. Without a verified account, it records a browser request and affirmative checkbox, not independently verified identity. Read the website privacy notice for retention and your choices. Keep a copy of this agreement for your records.
