Terms of Use

Last updated: October 7, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website tabarnakaudio.com (the "Site") and the audio plugin The Poutinizer and any other Tabarnak Audio plugin (the "Software"). Tabarnak Audio is a brand of Etienne Tremblay EI, a sole proprietorship registered in France (SIRET 104 888 003 00019), 134 Traverse de la Penne, Villa 47, 13011 Marseille, France ("Tabarnak Audio," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing or using the Software, or by using the Site, you agree to these Terms.

Purchases are governed by our Terms of Sale (French version: Conditions de vente), which cover prices, payment, refunds, the right of withdrawal and consumer mediation. If these Terms and the Terms of Sale differ, the Terms of Sale prevail.

1. The Software

The Software is sold as a paid product. A free 14-day trial lets you test it before buying: when the trial ends, the plugin stops processing and passes your audio through untouched until you enter a license key.

2. License grant

Subject to these Terms, Tabarnak Audio grants you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software for personal and commercial audio production: during the trial period for the trial version, and without time limit once you have bought a license. A purchased license may be used on all of your own computers.

You may not:

• share, publish, redistribute, resell, rent, lease or sublicense the Software, any installer file or your license key, in whole or in part, on any website, marketplace or platform;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, or bypass its license protection, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
• remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice contained in the Software;
• use the Software in any way that violates applicable law or infringes the rights of any third party.

The audio you create with the Software is entirely yours.

3. Ownership

The Software, including its source code, design, user interface, graphics, and the "Poutinizer" and "Tabarnak Audio" names and branding, is the property of Etienne Tremblay EI and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.

4. Third-party components

The Software is built with the JUCE framework and may include other third-party libraries, each governed by its own license terms. Your use of the Software does not grant you any rights under those licenses beyond what is needed to use the Software as distributed.

5. Updates and support

All updates to the Software are free for license holders. For help, write to info@tabarnakaudio.com.

6. Warranty

The free trial is provided as is, so you can check that the Software works with your system and host software before buying. A purchased license benefits from the legal guarantee of conformity described in our Terms of Sale. Apart from that guarantee and any other rights that cannot be excluded by law, we do not guarantee that the Software will be error-free or compatible with every system or digital audio workstation.

7. Limitation of liability

Please back up your projects. To the extent permitted by law, Tabarnak Audio is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, such as loss of data or projects, arising from the use of, or inability to use, the Software or the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits liability or consumer rights that cannot be excluded under applicable French or EU law, or the mandatory law of your country of residence.

8. Termination

If you breach these Terms, we may end your license. If your purchase is refunded, your license also ends. In both cases, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies in your possession.

9. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows the latest revision. Changes do not affect a license you have already bought.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by French law, without depriving you of the protection of the mandatory consumer rules of your country of residence. If you are a consumer, you may bring a claim before the courts where you live, and you may use the free consumer mediation service described in our Terms of Sale.
