Agreement and eligibility
These terms are between you and João Mexia, trading as JP Tech and operating the Stage Plot Forge product and online service. By purchasing, downloading, or using Stage Plot Forge, you agree to these terms and the privacy policy. If you use the service for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept these terms for that organization. You must be legally able to enter into this agreement.
Operator address: Avenida Heróis do Ultramar 130, 7005-161 Évora, Portugal. Portuguese tax identification number: PT214548708. Contact: jptechapplications@gmail.com.
Downloads and purchases through the Mac App Store are also subject to the Apple terms presented for that edition. The account and Stripe provisions below apply to the direct Mac and Windows editions. Existing website purchases retain access through those editions.
Software license
During the trial described below, Stage Plot Forge grants you a temporary, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the application. Subject to these terms and a completed purchase, Stage Plot Forge grants you a perpetual, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the application for your own personal or professional production work. The application and its included artwork, symbols, interface, and code remain the property of Stage Plot Forge and its licensors.
You may not resell, sublicense, redistribute, reverse engineer, circumvent access controls, use the service to violate law or third-party rights, or interfere with the security or operation of the application and online services, except where a restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
14-day trial
Mac App Store: the free 14-day trial begins when you explicitly activate it through Apple in the app. It requires an Apple Account and internet connection. It does not renew or charge automatically. Restoration does not restart the trial period.
Direct Mac and Windows: the trial begins on first opening and runs for 14 consecutive days, without an account or payment. Both trials include creating, editing, opening, preflight and export features.
When the trial ends, creating and editing are disabled. Existing local documents remain openable and exportable. A completed one-time purchase replaces the trial restriction with the perpetual license described in these terms.
Accounts and security
You are responsible for providing accurate account information and protecting access to your email account, computer, and Stage Plot Forge account. Tell us promptly at jptechapplications@gmail.com if you believe your account or entitlement has been used without permission.
The Mac App Store edition uses your Apple Account for trial activation, purchases and restoration; no Stage Plot Forge account is required for that edition.
One-time purchase and payment
Mac App Store: the app is free to download. Permanent creating and editing access is a one-time in-app purchase through Apple, €29 in the Portuguese storefront. Prices and currencies vary by storefront; the app presents the current price before purchase. Apple handles billing and purchase restoration. For refund requests, use Apple’s refund process; eligibility depends on the applicable terms and law.
Direct Mac and Windows: the standard offer is a €29 one-time lifetime license unless a different price or currency is shown before checkout. Stripe processes payment; taxes may be added where required. Contact jptechapplications@gmail.com with the account email and purchase details for help with these payments. Refunds and withdrawal rights are provided where required by law or expressly offered at checkout.
There are no recurring charges in either model. A refunded or revoked Apple transaction can remove purchased access in the Apple edition. For a refunded, disputed or unpaid Stripe purchase, the online entitlement may be revoked and applied when the direct Mac or Windows app next connects and refreshes.
Lifetime license and local documents
A Mac App Store purchase unlocks the Apple edition. A website purchase through Stripe covers the direct Mac and Windows editions. Purchases do not transfer between these channels: an Apple purchase does not unlock Windows, and Restore Purchases in the Apple edition cannot restore a website purchase.
Existing website customers can keep using their purchased license in the direct Mac edition or Windows. Local documents use a portable format and remain openable and exportable with the supported application. Keep backups of your documents and exported production packs.
Updates and availability
We may update the application, symbol library, formats, requirements, pricing, and online services over time. We aim to provide a reliable service, but maintenance, security incidents, provider failures, or circumstances beyond reasonable control can cause interruptions. Some updates may be required to keep online account and entitlement features working securely.
Mac App Store updates come through Apple, direct Mac updates through the built-in updater, and Windows updates through Microsoft Store. Installing another edition does not transfer a purchase.
Production responsibility
Stage Plot Forge is a planning and documentation tool. You are responsible for reviewing every stage plot, input list, technical rider, safety note, measurement, equipment requirement, and export before relying on it. The application does not replace a qualified production, electrical, structural, rigging, accessibility, or safety assessment.
Warranties and liability
To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties beyond those that cannot legally be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, Stage Plot Forge is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages arising from use of the service or reliance on production documents.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, or limits mandatory consumer rights.
Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate online access where reasonably necessary to address fraud, security risks, unlawful use, material breach, non-payment, or harm to the service or others. Where practical, we will give notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue. Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination will survive.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms to reflect product, provider, business, or legal changes. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate channel when required. Continued use after the effective date of updated terms constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
Questions about these terms, the Stage Plot Forge service operator, or a purchase can be sent to jptechapplications@gmail.com. Mandatory laws and consumer protections in your place of residence continue to apply.
