Fab Tabs & Tab-Grabber: Licence Agreement - Roly Platt: Harmonica Tab software, Books, Workshops, Lessons

Fab Tabs & Tab-Grabber — End User Licence Agreement

Last updated: August 28, 2026

These terms govern your use of the Software. By downloading, activating or using the Software, you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the Software.

In these terms, “the Software” means Fab Tabs and Tab-Grabber, together or separately, including any updates supplied to you. “We”, “us” and “our” mean Roly Platt, trading as harmonicamute.com. “You” means the person who downloaded, activated or purchased a licence for the Software.

1. Licence, not sale

The Software is licensed, not sold. Your purchase is a one-time payment for a perpetual licence — there is no subscription, no recurring fee, and the licence does not expire. What you acquire is the right to use the Software under these terms, not ownership of the Software itself. All rights not expressly granted in these terms are reserved.

1a. Updates

Updates within the current major version — for example, any 1.x release if you purchased a 1.x licence — are provided at no additional cost, and your existing licence key continues to work. Updates are made available at our discretion; we do not undertake to release them on any schedule, and we may offer a future major version as a separate paid product. Nothing in this clause obliges you to install an update, and the version you hold remains licensed to you under these terms.

2. Grant and scope of licence

Subject to these terms, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Software for your own private, non-commercial musical practice and study.

Licences are per user. A licence key may be used on multiple computers and operating systems, provided the licence key holder is the primary user of each.

Each licence key is issued in the name of the purchaser and remains associated with that purchase. Any isolation credits purchased for a licence key are held against that key.

Fab Tabs and Tab-Grabber are separate products. A licence for one does not grant any right in the other, except where the two are purchased together as The Suite.

3. Restrictions

You may not:

distribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, sub-licence or otherwise transfer the Software or any licence key to any third party;
publish or make the Software available where others may obtain it;
copy the Software, except for a single backup for your own use;
reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that such acts cannot be prohibited under applicable law;
remove, obscure or alter any copyright notice, licence text or version identifier contained in the Software; or
use the Software for any unlawful purpose.

4. Trial versions

Trial versions of the Software may be made available. A trial version is time-limited, may restrict the number of permitted downloads and, in the case of Tab-Grabber, includes a limited number of instrument isolations. Trial versions are supplied for evaluation only and are subject to these terms in full. On expiry of the trial period, continued use requires a paid licence.

5. Instrument isolation and audio processing

Tab-Grabber’s instrument isolation feature transmits audio from your device for processing. Use of the feature is optional. No other function of either product transmits audio.

Only the portion of a recording selected for isolation is transmitted.
Audio is transmitted over an encrypted connection to our server, and from there to a third-party audio separation service which performs the separation.
Your name, email address and licence key are not disclosed to that service.
The copy held on our server is deleted once the isolated track has been delivered to you.
The separation service processes the audio under its own terms and privacy policy.
Isolation use is counted against the licence key on which it was run, for the purpose of applying credits and usage limits.

You are responsible for the audio you transmit. You represent that you hold all necessary rights in any material you submit for isolation, and you agree not to submit confidential material. We do not review submitted audio and accept no responsibility for your use of material in which you do not hold the necessary rights.

6. Isolation credits

Isolation credits are purchased separately from the Software and are applied to a nominated licence key.

Credits are consumed on use, at the rate published at the point of sale.
Credits are not consumed by an isolation that fails.
Credits do not expire.
Credits are not transferable between licence keys, have no cash value, and are not exchangeable for cash.
Credit purchases are final, subject to clause 7.

Credit pricing and pack sizes may be varied at any time. Any variation applies to purchases made after the variation takes effect; credits already purchased are unaffected.

7. Payment and refunds

The Software is supplied as a digital download, and credits are consumed on use. Accordingly, all sales are final and no refund is offered once the Software has been made available for download or credits have been applied to a licence key.

Nothing in these terms affects any rights you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded or limited.

8. Updates

We may make updates or new versions of the Software available from time to time. We are under no obligation to provide updates, support or new features, and may modify or discontinue the Software at any time. Downloading a further copy of the current version for a computer already covered by your licence does not require an additional licence.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The Software is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including without limitation any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be error-free or uninterrupted.

Pitch detection, note detection and instrument isolation are automated processes and are inherently approximate. Results vary according to the recording, the instrument, the microphone and the performance, and no particular level of accuracy is warranted.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Software. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Software shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the licence to which the claim relates.

11. Term and termination

This licence takes effect on first use of the Software and continues until terminated. It terminates automatically upon any breach of these terms. On termination you must cease all use of the Software and delete all copies in your possession.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Ontario, Canada shall have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or the Software.

13. General

If any provision of these terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us in respect of the Software and supersede any prior representation or statement concerning it.
