Terms of Sale and Licence

Last updated: November 9, 2026. Draft: to be reviewed before the store opens.

These terms cover buying and using Local Upscale Studio ("the app"), made by David Balderston ("we").

Who sells it to you

The app is sold through Polar, which acts as the merchant of record. It is the seller on your receipt, it handles payment, sales tax and VAT, and its buyer terms also apply to the purchase. We make the app and provide support.

Your licence

• One purchase gives one person a licence to use the app on the Macs they own or use, for personal or commercial work.
• It is a one-time purchase. Updates for this major version are included. A future major version may be a paid upgrade, and your current version keeps working.
• Do not resell, share or publish your licence key, and do not redistribute the app.
• A business that needs the app on several people's Macs should buy one licence per person.

Your files

You keep all rights to the photos and videos you process. Only process material you have the right to use. The app works on your Mac and does not send your files to us.

Results

Upscaling models invent plausible detail that the original did not record. Results depend on the source and on your Mac. The app is provided as is, without a promise that every result will suit your purpose. Your original files are never changed.

Refunds

See the refund policy. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the consumer law where you live.

Acknowledgements

The app includes open-source models and code. Their licences and notices are listed in the app's About window. They include Real-ESRGAN by Xintao Wang et al., used under the BSD 3-Clause License.
