Terms of Sale & Use
Last updated: 5 June 2026
The short version. You buy one licence, once, and you can use AI Upscaler Studio for life on the number of machines your licence allows - for your own work, including commercial work. Don't resell or share your licence key. If you change your mind, there's a 30-day, no-questions refund. The full terms below fill in the legal detail; nothing here removes the consumer rights you have by law.
These Terms of Sale & Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you ("you") and S.M. Digital ("we", "us") covering your purchase and use of the AI Upscaler Studio desktop application ("the App") and the website getupscalerstudio.com ("the Site"). By buying, downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't install or use the App. Questions? Reach us through our support form.
AI Upscaler Studio is a one-time purchase of a perpetual licence to use the current major version ("v1") of the App on Microsoft Windows. There is no subscription and no recurring fee. Your purchase includes free minor updates within v1. Future major versions (for example, a "2.0") may be offered as a separate, optional, usually discounted upgrade.
Subject to these Terms and payment in full, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the App as follows:
Prices are shown on the Site and at checkout. Depending on where you buy, the seller of record and applicable taxes differ:
Any displayed currency conversion is an estimate; the currency you are actually charged in is the one shown at checkout. Launch or promotional discounts (for example a code such as LAUNCH) apply only while offered and may be limited in number or time.
We offer a 30-day, no-questions-asked refund. Send a note via our support form within 30 days of purchase and we'll arrange it. Where you bought through Gumroad, the refund is processed by that platform. If you are an EU/EEA or UK consumer, you may also have a statutory right of withdrawal; by downloading and using the App immediately you may be asked to acknowledge that supply begins right away - our voluntary 30-day policy is offered regardless and is intended to be at least as generous as your statutory rights.
The App is built for 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 with a compatible NVIDIA GPU (4 GB+ VRAM recommended). Without a supported GPU the App falls back to CPU and runs much more slowly, or you may use the optional cloud mode with your own third-party API key at your own cost. Please check the requirements on the Site before buying - we'd rather answer a question than process a refund.
v1 is an unsigned Windows application, so Windows SmartScreen may show a "Windows protected your PC" warning on first run; choosing "More info → Run anyway" installs it. This is disclosed on the Site before purchase and does not indicate the App is unsafe. A code-signing certificate is planned for a future release.
The App incorporates open-source AI models and libraries, including
Real-ESRGAN and RealESRNet (BSD-3-Clause, © xinntao)
and GFPGAN (© Tencent ARC). These remain the property of their
respective owners and are used under their licences; full attributions are included in
the bundled NOTICE.txt. Your licence to AI Upscaler Studio does not change
the terms of those third-party components.
The App, the Site, our name, logo, and branding are owned by S.M. Digital and protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the licence granted above, no rights are transferred to you. The output images you generate are yours.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that results will meet your specific requirements. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law - if you are an EU/EEA or UK consumer, your statutory rights remain unaffected.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the App. Our total aggregate liability in connection with the App or these Terms is limited to the amount you paid for your licence. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your non-excludable consumer rights).
This licence ends automatically if you materially breach these Terms (for example, by sharing or reselling your key). On termination you must stop using and delete the App. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as IP, disclaimers, and liability) will survive termination.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without affecting any mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live. Disputes will be subject to the competent courts, save for any consumer right you have to bring proceedings in your local courts.
We may update these Terms as the App and Site evolve. The version that applied at the time of your purchase governs that purchase. Material changes are reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
