HOME/LEGAL & LICENSING

End User License Agreement (EULA)

Effective Date: July 17, 2026 • Version 2.4 • Single-Seat Commercial Studio License.

IMPORTANT LEGAL AGREEMENT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a binding legal contract between you (the registered individual colorist or studio entity purchasing the asset) and RENDERHUB. By purchasing, downloading, installing, or executing any RenderHub DCTL (`.dctl`), Look-Up Table (`.cube`), PowerGrade, or OFX software integration, you explicitly agree to the permissions, seat limitations, and strict prohibitions set forth below.

1. Grant of Single-Seat License

Subject to your compliance with this EULA and payment of the applicable purchase fee, RenderHub grants you a **non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, single-seat personal/studio license** to install and use the accompanying digital color grading tools on **one (1) personal/studio workstation** for professional cinematic look development inside DaVinci Resolve.

No Ownership Transfer: You are purchasing a license to use the mathematical tools, not the underlying source code. All rights, title, copyright, and trade secrets in and to the DCTL algorithms, LUT matrices, and UI frameworks remain the sole and exclusive property of RenderHub.

2. Permissions vs. Strict Prohibitions

To ensure complete transparency regarding what you can and cannot do with your RenderHub color grading tools, please review the breakdown below:

check_circleAllowed Commercial Uses ✅FULL PERMISSION
  • Commercial & Revenue Projects:

    You may use RenderHub tools to color grade any commercial project, paid assignment, or monetization workflow.

  • YouTube & Digital Streaming:

    Fully permitted for use inside YouTube videos, online documentaries, social media campaigns, and OTT streaming platforms.

  • Client & Agency Work:

    Fully permitted for grading client deliverables, agency commercials, corporate branding videos, and freelance grading jobs.

  • Feature Films & Television Broadcast:

    Fully permitted inside theatrical feature films, episodic television series, and broadcast TV commercials. (Customary on-screen or IMDB credit such as “Color Grading Tools by RenderHub” is highly encouraged and appreciated where applicable!)

blockStrictly Prohibited Uses ❌ZERO TOLERANCE
  • Sharing With Friends / Colleagues:

    You are strictly prohibited from sharing, emailing, loaning, or pooling license keys, `.dctl` scripts, or `.cube` files with friends, colleagues, or other colorists.

  • Multi-Computer Installation:

    Installing and operating a single purchased seat across multiple personal/studio computers simultaneously is strictly prohibited. Each distinct grading workstation requires an active seat.

  • Re-uploading & Public Hosting:

    Prohibited from uploading files to cloud sharing folders, forums, torrent networks, Discord servers, GitHub repos, or peer-to-peer sites.

  • Modified Resale & Decompilation:

    Prohibited from reverse-engineering, modifying, decompiling, or reselling modified versions of our DCTL algorithms, mathematical models, or look tables.

  • Bundling Inside Other Packs or Courses:

    Strictly prohibited from bundling, repacking, or including RenderHub assets inside another plugin pack, LUT pack, course download folder, or commercial template collection.

3. Product-Linked Activation & Device Fingerprinting

To protect our proprietary color grading tools and ensure fair compliance across post-production studios, RenderHub employs an advanced product-linked license validation system (`/api/licenses/validate`):

vpn_key
License Key & Seat Verification:When you launch an OFX plugin or authenticated DCTL integration inside DaVinci Resolve, the tool securely queries our validation servers with your unique product license key.
devices
Anonymized Device Fingerprinting:Our validation endpoints generate an encrypted hardware identifier based on your machine profile. This allows our servers to enforce single-seat activation limits while allowing you to cleanly deactivate and transfer your seat if you upgrade your physical workstation.

Attempting to bypass, spoof, block, or crack our license validation protocol constitutes a willful breach of intellectual property laws and will trigger immediate revocation of your studio license across all RenderHub databases.

4. License Revocation & Enforcement

RenderHub reserves the right to immediately terminate or suspend your license without notice or refund if we detect unauthorized multi-seat pooling, torrent distribution, or bundling of our assets. Upon termination of this EULA, you must immediately cease all use of the software tools and permanently destroy all copies of the `.dctl` scripts and `.cube` files across your storage devices and project archives.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

RENDERHUB TOOLS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR COLOR GRADING PIPELINE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL RENDERHUB BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF STUDIO REVENUE, CLIENT PROJECT DELAYS, OR DATA CORRUPTION) ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE OUR DCTL SCRIPTS OR PLUGINS inside DAVINCI RESOLVE.
