License terms

Effective November 11, 2026. These terms cover the WormaDock app and WormaDock Pro.

1. Who

WormaDock is made by WormaDev ("we"). Pro licenses are sold by Polar Software, Inc. ("Polar", polar.sh), the merchant of record. Polar takes the payment, charges sales tax or VAT, sends the receipt and handles refunds, under its own buyer terms.

2. The free app

WormaDock is free to download and use on as many Macs as you own or control. Features marked Pro need a trial or a license key.

3. Trial

You can try WormaDock Pro free for 30 days, once per Mac, with no payment details. Our server confirms the trial using a one-way hash of the Mac's hardware ID, as the privacy page explains. When the trial ends, Pro features turn off and your settings stay.

4. The Pro license

  • A Pro license is a one-time purchase. It gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use WormaDock Pro.
  • One key works on up to 3 Macs at a time. Deactivate a Mac to free its slot.
  • The license covers every 1.x version. Version 2.0 may be a paid upgrade, discounted for 1.x owners; 1.x keeps working.
  • Don't share, publish, sell or sublicense your key, and don't work around the license check.
  • WormaDock checks the key with Polar at launch and about once a week, which needs an internet connection. If checks fail, Pro stays on for 30 days after the last successful one.

5. Refunds

Ask Polar for a full refund within 30 days of purchase, for any reason. A refund deactivates the key.

6. What you may not do

Don't redistribute WormaDock, remove its notices, or use it to break the law or someone else's rights. WormaDock is not affiliated with Apple Inc.; Apple's terms govern macOS.

7. No warranty

WormaDock is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. It replaces part of macOS and uses interfaces Apple doesn't document, so a macOS update can break it until we ship a fix. We don't promise it is free of errors or that it will work on future macOS versions.

8. Limitation of liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damage, lost data or lost profit from using WormaDock, and our total liability for any claim is the amount you paid for the license. Where the law doesn't allow these limits, our liability is the smallest amount it does allow.

9. Your rights under local law

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the consumer law of the country where you live.

10. Third-party components

WormaDock includes Sparkle (MIT License; the notice is in Settings > About) and shows weather data from MET Norway (CC BY 4.0).

11. Changes

We may update these terms. The current version lives at this address, with its effective date at the top. Using WormaDock after a change means you accept it.
