Unglued Academy

Terms of service

Last updated: 7 October 2026.

I'm Joshua Peter Brown, trading as Unglued in the United Kingdom. I run Unglued Academy, the plugin business and the store. Contact: josh@unglued.co.uk. By creating an account, subscribing, buying a plugin or ordering merch, you agree to these terms.

The product page and checkout show what you are buying, its price, compatibility requirements and any recurring payments. Please check those details before paying. These terms and the refunds and returns policy apply to your order. The privacy policy explains how I use your data.

What you get

A monthly subscription gives you access to every published lesson and any reference sheet or download published with it for as long as your subscription is active, plus new modules as they are released. The roadmap shows what is planned; release timing can change.

What you can't do

Project files and samples are licensed for use in your own music, including commercial releases. That licence does not include reselling them as sample packs or templates.

Plugin software licence

A plugin bought outright gives you a permanent, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence for up to two computers that you control. A promotional licence described as permanent has the same duration, even if you received it free. Academy members and eligible 1-to-1 coaching clients receive the same personal licence for included plugins while their subscription and any stated offline grace period remain active. A free demo is supplied only for evaluation and keeps its timed pauses and other demo limits until a valid licence is activated.

You can use the plugin and the audio it produces in your own music, performances and commercial releases. Unglued claims no ownership of the music you make with it. The plugin, its code, interface, artwork, name and other intellectual property remain owned by Joshua Peter Brown trading as Unglued and the relevant licensors.

You cannot share, publish, copy or redistribute the software or installer, except for a reasonable backup kept solely for your own use. You cannot share activation details or licence data, or sell, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend or transfer the software or licence, except where applicable law gives you a right that cannot be excluded. You cannot bypass or work around activation, demo limits, update verification or another technical protection.

You cannot reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise try to derive the source code or internal implementation, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction. You can deactivate a computer from your account whenever you need to move a licence.

At checkout you can ask for plugins and other digital products to be supplied immediately. You must expressly acknowledge that once the download or licence access begins, the 14 day cancellation right for that digital content ends. This does not limit your rights if the product is faulty, unavailable or not as described. Where a free demo is offered, use it before buying to check compatibility with your system and host.

Updates supplied for your purchase follow this licence. I will not use an update to turn a permanent licence into a subscription or remove rights you already bought. If you materially breach the licence, I can end it using the process under Ending accounts below. You would then need to stop using the software and remove your copies, subject to any rights you have under law or a separate open-source licence.

Some products include open-source software. The bundled notices identify the components and their licences. Those licences take priority over any conflicting restriction here for the software they cover, including rights to copy, modify, redistribute or obtain source code. This does not give additional rights over proprietary components.

DJ Edit Machine subscriptions

DJ Edit Machine includes open-source components, including FFmpeg libraries under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 or later. The bundled third-party notices identify their respective licences. Those licences govern the covered components and take precedence over conflicting restrictions above, including restrictions on copying, modification and redistribution. Nothing in these terms prevents modification of LGPL-covered components or reverse engineering to debug those modifications as permitted by their licences. This does not grant rights to bypass the proprietary app's subscription checks.

DJ Edit Machine is a separate subscription. It does not include Academy lessons or other Unglued products. All its plans include the same editing tools, unlimited local processing and two activated computers you control. No processing credits or audio uploads are required. Optional future cloud services are not included. Use only audio you own or are authorised to process.

Standard billing is £8.99 each month or £79.99 each year, paid upfront and automatically renewed at that interval until cancelled. TITAN gives £1 off monthly payments or 10% off annual payments, including renewals while the discounted subscription remains active, currently £7.99 monthly or £71.99 annually. The amount, billing interval and any applicable tax are shown before you pay. I will not change the price of a period you have already paid for. A change to your agreed renewal price requires your agreement before it takes effect.

Cancel future renewals through Account, then Manage subscription, before the next billing date shown in Stripe. You keep access until your paid period ends. If account controls are unavailable, email josh@unglued.co.uk for help cancelling. Deleting the app does not cancel billing. Upfront annual payments are not monthly instalments.

Internet access is needed for activation and periodic subscription checks. A refreshed signed licence covers the paid subscription period plus 14 days of offline grace. A failed renewal has the same 14-day recovery window after the last paid period, not an additional window. Revoked activations and refunded or terminated subscriptions can lose access when checked online. Once access expires, new editing and export stop. Previously exported files remain usable, subject to your rights in their audio. Existing perpetual purchases retain their original licence.

App updates are included while subscribed. Check the listed operating system and hardware requirements before buying. Speed and separation quality depend on the computer and source audio; there is no promise of artifact-free stems or a guaranteed loudness target. This is an independent desktop app, not an official rekordbox extension. Nothing in these terms excludes statutory consumer rights or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Billing

Academy subscriptions bill monthly through Stripe until you cancel. DJ Edit Machine bills at the monthly or annual interval selected above. You can cancel any time from your account page and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. At checkout you can request immediate digital access and acknowledge how that affects the 14 day cancellation right. See the refund policy for details.

1-to-1 coaching

Your agreed coaching plan sets out the session length, frequency, price and billing period. Coaching is a service. Its cancellation rights are separate from the rules for digital downloads, even when your plan also includes lessons or plugins. See the coaching cancellation section. Please contact me as soon as possible if you need to move a session. Any booking-specific conditions must be agreed before you pay.

Completed 1-to-1 coaching session recordings remain in your private account after coaching ends. Booking, the live Zoom room, Discord and included plugin access require active coaching or Academy access as applicable. Deleting your account permanently removes its private recording archive.

Merch orders

Merch is made after you order and normally takes 3 to 12 days worldwide depending on destination. Any different delivery period will be agreed before you order. If there is a delay, contact me so I can put it right; your legal rights to delivery or a refund still apply. Prices and delivery charges are shown before you pay. Your cancellation, return and faulty-item rights are set out in the refunds and returns policy.

Ending accounts

I can suspend access or end a licence for a serious or repeated breach, such as sharing paid content or activation details. Where it is reasonable to do so, I will explain the problem and give you a chance to fix it first. Immediate suspension may be needed for fraud or an urgent security risk. You can contact me to challenge a decision. There is no automatic loss of every payment: any refund depends on the circumstances and your legal rights. If I end a paid service without a breach by you, I will refund the part I have not supplied.

The boring but honest bits

The content is education, not a guarantee of results, signings or income. I must still supply goods and digital content that meet their description and legal quality requirements, and services with reasonable care and skill. I am responsible for foreseeable loss or damage caused by my breach of contract or failure to use reasonable care. If supplied digital content damages your device or other digital content because I failed to use reasonable care and skill, I will repair the damage or compensate you as required by law.

Nothing here excludes responsibility for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or anything else the law does not allow me to exclude. Nothing removes your statutory consumer rights.

Changes and resolving problems

New terms apply to new orders. They do not automatically rewrite an existing purchase. If an existing agreement needs a material change, I will explain it and obtain your agreement where required. Contact josh@unglued.co.uk with a complaint or a question about your order and I will work with you to put it right.

These terms use the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you keep any mandatory protections of the law where you live and any right to bring a claim in your local courts.
