Legal
Terms of Service
Last updated: March 2026
1. The license
When you purchase CMF Studio, you receive a personal, non-transferable license to install and use the software on Mac computers that you own or control. One license covers one person across their devices. You may not sublicense, sell, or redistribute the software.
2. Free trial
CMF Studio may be downloaded and used free of charge for 30 days from the date of first launch. After the trial period, a license purchase is required to continue using the software. No data is lost at the end of the trial — your projects remain accessible after purchase.
3. Updates
Your license includes all updates within the v1 release cycle at no additional cost. Major version upgrades (v2 and beyond) may be offered at a discounted upgrade price for existing license holders.
4. Payments and refunds
All purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, who act as Merchant of Record. Pricing is in USD. Applicable taxes are calculated and collected by Lemon Squeezy at checkout. Refund requests within 30 days of purchase are handled by Lemon Squeezy under their standard refund policy. Contact hello@color-material-finish.com if you need assistance.
5. Your data
CMF Studio stores all project data locally on your Mac. You own your data entirely. Uninstalling the app does not delete your database — it remains at ~/Library/Application Support/CMFStudio/ until you remove it manually. We have no access to your project data.
6. Disclaimer of warranty
CMF Studio is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. We make no guarantees regarding fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted operation, or freedom from bugs. Use at your own discretion. Always maintain backups of important project data.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim arising from use of CMF Studio is limited to the amount you paid for your license.
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of California.
