For the ReviewHeron app · Last updated: June 16, 2026

00 · Note (draft)

This version is a draft and has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer. It will be finalised before the public sales launch.

01 · Provider and scope

The provider and licensor of the ReviewHeron software is:

Nicolas Autzen (Hamme)
Heinrich-Vogeler-Weg 18
27726 Worpswede, Germany
Email: hi@hamme.software

These terms of use and licence terms govern the relationship between you and us regarding the use of the ReviewHeron software. The purchase contract itself is concluded with our distribution partner Lemon Squeezy (section 02).

02 · Purchase via Lemon Squeezy (Merchant of Record)

ReviewHeron is sold through Lemon Squeezy as the Merchant of Record. The contractual partner for the purchase contract is therefore Sold through Link, LLC (formerly Lemon Squeezy LLC), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA — not us. Lemon Squeezy handles payment, VAT and invoicing and provides you with the licence key.

The terms and the right-of-withdrawal policy of Lemon Squeezy, shown to you during checkout, therefore additionally apply to the purchase. These terms here govern the right of use of the software that we grant you as licensor.

03 · Subject matter

ReviewHeron is a local-first macOS application for managing and replying to app store reviews. The scope of functions is governed by the properties described at hamme.software/apps/reviewheron at the time of purchase.

The app requires a compatible version of macOS and, for individual functions, internet access (e.g. licence verification and update retrieval). We owe the provision of the software for download in the purchased version, not the success of any particular use.

04 · Licence and rights of use

With your purchase you receive a simple, non-exclusive, perpetual right to use the software for your own purposes. The number of devices that can be activated at the same time depends on the device limit assigned to the licence key.

In particular, passing on or sub-licensing the licence key to third parties, as well as reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling the software, is not permitted unless mandatorily allowed by law (e.g. to establish interoperability). The software remains protected by copyright; you do not acquire ownership of it.

05 · Price, payment and licence key

The price stated on the product page at the time of purchase applies as a one-time purchase (no recurring payment). VAT is shown and remitted by Lemon Squeezy according to the rules of the respective buyer’s country.

After successful payment you receive your licence key by email. You use it to unlock the app on your Mac (activation via the licence API, see the privacy policy).

06 · Updates

Within the purchased major version we provide bug-fix and security updates for as long as we maintain that version; the app can retrieve them automatically (can be switched off). There is no entitlement to specific future features or to receive a later paid major version free of charge.

07 · Right of withdrawal (digital content)

As a consumer you are generally entitled to a statutory right of withdrawal. For digital content not supplied on a physical medium, the right of withdrawal expires early if the provider has begun performance after you expressly consented to performance beginning before the expiry of the withdrawal period and confirmed that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal (Section 356(5) of the German Civil Code, BGB).

As the purchase contract is concluded with Lemon Squeezy (section 02), the withdrawal notice and the handling of any withdrawal are provided by Lemon Squeezy during checkout. For questions, hi@hamme.software is also happy to help.

08 · Defects and warranty

The statutory provisions on warranty and — towards consumers — on the provision of digital products (Sections 327 ff. BGB) apply. We endeavour to remedy reported defects within a reasonable period by means of an update. Please report defects to hi@hamme.software.

09 · Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act.

For slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance you regularly rely), and limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Any further liability is excluded.

The software is a local tool. Back up your data yourself to a reasonable extent; we are not liable for indirect damage resulting from a failure to back up data, to the extent permitted by the paragraphs above.

10 · Term

The purchase is a one-time purchase. No subscription and no recurring payment obligation arise; cancellation is therefore not necessary.

11 · Consumer dispute resolution

We are not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Section 36 of the German VSBG).

12 · Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If, as a consumer, you have your habitual residence in another state, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of that state remain unaffected.

Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The German version is authoritative; this English translation is for convenience only.
