1. Licensing Overview

Proprietary Licensing

Realystic Addons are proprietary software and the intellectual property of Realystic, developed by Robert White. These addons interact with Blender via its Python API and do not modify or include Blender’s GPL-covered core code. As "separate works," they are licensed independently under this proprietary license in compliance with the Blender Foundation’s guidelines.

Relationship to Blender’s GPL License

Blender is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v3, which governs its core functionality. Realystic Addons, as independent works using Blender’s API, are not bound by the GPL’s derivative work requirements.

Free vs. Paid Addons

  • Paid Addons: Premium products requiring significant time, skill, and resources to develop. These are distributed under this proprietary license to protect intellectual property.
  • Free Addons: Provided without charge but remain covered by this license. Free addons are offered without warranties or obligations for support or updates.

2. User Rights

General Usage

  • You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the addon for personal or commercial purposes.

Free Addons

  • Free addons are provided "as is" without guarantees of updates or technical support.
  • Redistribution under any circumstances is prohibited unless explicitly permitted in writing.

Paid Addons

4. Updates and Upgrades

  • This license applies to current and future updates unless explicitly revised.
  • Free addons may receive updates at Realystic’s discretion.
  • Paid addons include updates during the support period specified at purchase. Continued updates beyond this period may require a renewal fee.

5. Refund Policy

  • Refunds are only provided in cases of double purchases. Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of purchase.
  • Refunds are not available once the addon has been downloaded, as Realystic cannot track usage or prevent abuse.

6. Abuse and Unauthorized Sharing

  • Sharing download links or distributing unauthorized copies is prohibited and may result in the termination of support and access to updates.
  • Realystic reserves the right to revoke licenses and support for users found violating these terms.

7. Free Addons Clause

  • Free versions of paid addons or standalone free addons may be released at Realystic’s discretion.
  • Free addons may have limited functionality compared to paid versions and can be modified or discontinued without notice.

8. Support and Liability

Paid Addons

  • Paid addons may include limited email or community-based support as outlined at purchase.
  • While Realystic strives to ensure product quality, no guarantees are made regarding compatibility, performance, or bug-free operation.

Free Addons

  • Free addons are provided without support or warranties.

Liability

  • Realystic shall not be held liable for damages resulting from the use or inability to use an addon, including but not limited to data loss, hardware damage, or missed deadlines.

9. Future Products
