FormatFlow Translate for Adobe InDesign · Last updated: 30 June 2026
This agreement is between you and [FILL IN: legal entity / sole trader name] ("FormatFlow", "we", "us"), the developer of the FormatFlow Translate plugin ("the Software"). By installing or using the Software you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.
Subject to an active subscription (or valid trial), we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on machines you control, for your own or your organisation's design work. One subscription covers one individual user; team/multi-seat licensing is available on request.
The Software may be used free of charge for a 14-day evaluation with full functionality. The trial starts on first run. Continued use after the trial requires a paid subscription. We may change or end the trial offer for future users at any time; this does not affect a trial already in progress.
The subscription is €12 per month (or the then-current price shown at checkout). It renews automatically for successive periods until cancelled. You may cancel at any time through the billing portal linked from your purchase receipt; cancellation stops future renewals, and the Software stays licensed until the end of the period you have already paid for. Payments, invoicing, applicable VAT/sales tax, and refunds are handled by our payment provider acting as merchant of record (currently Lemon Squeezy), under their terms and refund policy.
If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or UK, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase of digital services. Because the Software is supplied digitally and you have already evaluated it during the free trial, by subscribing you request that the service begin immediately and you acknowledge that your right of withdrawal is lost once the paid service has started. Your mandatory statutory rights are not otherwise affected, and refund requests are handled by the merchant of record above.
An active subscription includes the updates we release during your paid period, at no extra charge. We develop the Software actively and aim to ship improvements regularly. However, specific features, release frequency, and timing are not guaranteed, are provided on a best-effort basis, and may be added, changed, or removed. Roadmap statements and "monthly update" descriptions are expressions of intent, not contractual commitments. We may modify or discontinue features to maintain compatibility with Adobe InDesign or third-party services.
The Software requires third-party AI services that you contract for directly. You are responsible for your provider accounts, API keys, usage costs, and compliance with the providers' terms. We are not a party to your agreement with any AI provider and do not warrant their output, availability, accuracy, data handling, or pricing.
You retain all rights to your documents and their translations. You represent that you have the rights necessary to translate the content you process. You agree not to use the Software for unlawful, infringing, or harmful purposes, or in violation of any third party's rights or any AI provider's policies.
The Software automates translation using AI you select; AI translation can and does contain errors. The Software's verification protects the document's structural integrity, not linguistic accuracy. You are responsible for qualified human review before publication. The Software is not intended or warranted for use, without competent human review, in legal, medical, safety-critical, regulatory, financial, or other high-stakes materials where an error could cause harm or loss. You assume all responsibility for the use of translated output.
The Software, its name, and its branding are owned by us and protected by law. This agreement grants a license, not a sale, and transfers no ownership of the Software to you.
The Software includes open-source components (notably the fflate compression library, MIT licensed), used under their licenses. AI translation is performed by the third-party provider you choose. Adobe, InDesign, and Creative Cloud are trademarks of Adobe Inc.; OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepL, and Ollama are trademarks of their respective owners. The Software is an independent product, not endorsed by or affiliated with Adobe or any AI provider.
The Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free. Always keep backups of your documents; the Software is designed never to modify your original files, but no software is free of defects.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Software is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) €50. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption. Nothing in this agreement limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that applicable consumer law does not allow to be excluded.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your content, your use of the Software in breach of this agreement, or your violation of law or third-party rights.
This license terminates automatically if you breach its terms. On termination you must stop using and uninstall the Software. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g. disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity) survive termination.
This agreement is governed by the laws of [FILL IN: your country / jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction have non-exclusive jurisdiction. This does not deprive consumers of the protection of mandatory laws of their country of residence.
We may update these terms; we will post the new version with an updated date and note material changes in the plugin's release notes. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. This agreement, with the Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement regarding the Software and supersedes prior understandings.
