Supplemental Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

SmartMaster PRO — Audio Mastering for macOS

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Short version: SmartMaster PRO processes selected audio locally on your Mac and exports mastered files to destinations you choose. The Developer operates no user account or App backend and does not receive your music. Always keep untouched source files and review mastered exports before release or performance.

1. Scope, Acceptance & Apple Standard EULA

SmartMaster PRO (the "App") is distributed through the Mac App Store and is licensed, not sold. Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple Standard EULA") is the primary licence agreement for the App. These Supplemental Terms describe App-specific functionality, privacy practices, and responsibilities and supplement, rather than replace, the Apple Standard EULA.

By downloading, installing, purchasing, or using the App, you accept the Apple Standard EULA and, to the extent permitted by law, these Supplemental Terms. Mandatory rights granted by applicable law always prevail over any conflicting provision.

2. Developer & Contact Identity

The App is developed and provided by Sorin Nae ("Developer", "we", or "us"). Public seller and trader information applicable to your territory is also displayed by Apple on the App Store product page.

3. App Functionality

SmartMaster PRO is a macOS audio-mastering application for DJs, producers, musicians, and other audio users. Its published functions include batch processing, loudness normalisation, venue-oriented presets, automatic BPM analysis, soft limiting, parametric equalisation, MID/SIDE processing, real-time preview and comparison tools, audio metrics, and WAV or M4A export.

Available tools, batch limits, supported formats, export options, compatibility, and minimum operating-system requirements are those shown in the current App Store and product pages and the installed App. Processing time and results depend on source material, settings, hardware load, storage, and export format.

4. Licence & Permitted Professional Use

Subject to the Apple Standard EULA and these Supplemental Terms, you may use the App for personal and professional audio work, including music production, DJ preparation, performances, commercial releases, and mastering work for your own projects or third-party clients. The Developer claims no ownership of your source audio or mastered output. You remain responsible for the rights, agreements, professional obligations, and delivery requirements applicable to your work.

Except where applicable law expressly permits otherwise, you may not copy, redistribute, rent, sublicense, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, bypass protection, extract proprietary algorithms or assets, remove proprietary notices, or use the App or its components to create a competing product.

5. App Store Distribution, Payments & Refunds

Apple handles App distribution and, where applicable, price, taxes, payment details, purchase entitlements, Family Sharing or other Usage Rules, and refund requests. The Developer does not receive your payment-card details. The current App Store listing states whether a price, in-app purchase, subscription, or trial is offered; these Terms do not create or promise any payment option, lifetime update commitment, response time, or trial not shown there. Mandatory refund and consumer rights remain unaffected.

6. App Privacy — Local Audio Processing

The Developer operates no account system or backend server for the App. Selected audio, mastering settings, previews, analyses, and exports are processed locally and are not uploaded to the Developer. The App contains no Developer-operated advertising, behavioural tracking, analytics, or telemetry.

Exported audio leaves the App only when you save, synchronise, or share it through a destination or service you choose. Those services apply their own privacy and security terms.

7. Temporary Files, Exports & Local Storage

The App may create working files in operating-system temporary storage while decoding, analysing, previewing, or exporting audio. The App attempts to remove temporary working files when they are no longer needed or when the App closes; macOS may also manage temporary files independently. An interrupted process, crash, forced quit, storage failure, or operating-system behaviour may leave a temporary file until later cleanup.

Final exports remain at the location you choose until you delete them. Removing the App does not necessarily remove audio already exported elsewhere.

8. Apple Services & Diagnostics

Apple may process App Store transactions, installations, crash reports, and optional diagnostics under the user’s Apple privacy and diagnostics settings. Apple may provide developers with aggregated analytics or diagnostic reports. The App does not add its own tracking to that Apple-controlled process.

9. Support & Website Information

Sorin Nae is the data controller for personal information voluntarily submitted through support channels or the Software Evolution website contact form.

If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message, App version, device details, screenshots, or diagnostic files. We use it only to respond, provide support, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, or establish and defend legal claims. The legal basis is performance of a contract or steps requested by you, our legitimate interest in providing secure support, and legal obligations where applicable.

The website contact form is processed using Formspree, and the website is delivered through Cloudflare. Those providers may process form and technical connection data under their own policies. Do not send unreleased music, passwords, payment-card details, or unnecessary sensitive information through support channels.

Support correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably necessary to answer the request, maintain support and security records, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes, and is then deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

10. Your Data-Protection Rights

Because App audio and mastering work remain on your Mac, the Developer normally has no server-side copy to access or delete. For personal information voluntarily provided through support, applicable law may give you rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and complaint to a supervisory authority. Requests may be sent to [email protected]. Romanian users may also contact the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing.

11. Your Audio, Outputs & Required Rights

You retain ownership of audio and other content you select, and the Developer claims no ownership of mastered files created from it. Selecting content authorises the App to process it locally for the operation you request; it does not transfer ownership to the Developer.

You are responsible for having the rights and permissions required to process, modify, reproduce, release, perform, distribute, or otherwise use third-party audio. The App and its purchase do not supply licences for music, recordings, samples, performances, artwork, or other third-party rights.

12. Mastering Results, Loudness & Backups

Loudness, BPM, dynamics, equalisation, stereo, limiter, and other analysis or processing results are computational estimates and vary with source material and settings. Preset names and target values describe intended workflows, not guaranteed acceptance by a venue, broadcaster, distributor, streaming service, or quality-control system.

Processing can change level, dynamics, timbre, stereo image, peaks, and encoded quality. Keep untouched source files and independent backups, preview the complete result on appropriate equipment, compare before and after, and inspect exported files before performance, publication, client delivery, or deletion of source material.

13. Intellectual Property & Trademarks

The App, source code, interface, documentation, processing methods, presets, and proprietary assets are protected by intellectual-property law and are owned by or licensed to the Developer, except for clearly identified third-party components and rights. Apple and other third-party names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners and are used only for identification. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.

14. Warranties & Mandatory Consumer Rights

The Apple Standard EULA contains the warranty terms applicable to the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", and the Developer does not promise error-free operation, a particular artistic or commercial result, or compatibility with every file, delivery specification, sound system, or future operating system.

Nothing in these Supplemental Terms excludes, restricts, or replaces rights that cannot legally be waived. Consumers retain all mandatory rights and remedies provided by Romanian, European Union, and other applicable law.

15. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, or any injury, damage, remedy, or responsibility that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited.

Subject to that rule and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, rejection by a platform or client, third-party service failure, lost opportunity, or avoidable loss of audio or work where reasonable preview, verification, and independent backups were not maintained. Nothing here reduces a protection provided by the Apple Standard EULA or mandatory consumer law.

16. Updates, Availability & Termination

Features, supported formats, presets, batch limits, minimum system versions, and interface details may change as the App evolves. Required updates will be provided as required by applicable law. No statement in these Terms promises perpetual feature availability or compatibility with every future Mac or macOS release.

Your licence may terminate if you materially breach the Apple Standard EULA or these Supplemental Terms, subject to applicable law. Termination does not transfer ownership of your source audio or mastered exports to the Developer.

17. Changes, Governing Law & Disputes

We may update these Terms to reflect functionality, legal requirements, security needs, or business changes. Material changes will be communicated by reasonable means and will not retroactively remove a purchased entitlement or mandatory consumer right. Where consent is legally required, a change takes effect only after valid consent.

These Supplemental Terms are governed by Romanian law, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections or courts available under the law of their country of habitual residence. Please contact us first so we can attempt to resolve a concern.
