Last updated 12 November 2026. This draft is written for PlateSort, the Mac app that sorts race footage by rider number plate.
The agreement
PlateSort is operated by Kypton O'Neal and Benjamin Robles, as business partners. There is no company. In these drafts, “we” means the two of them, in a general partnership-style arrangement. By downloading PlateSort, starting the free trial, or paying for a plan, you agree to this draft once a lawyer has reviewed it and it is published. If you do not agree, don’t use the app.
What you get
PlateSort is software you run on your own Mac. We license it to you; we do not sell you a copy of the code. A new install asks you to sign in to a free PlateSort account, or create one, and your 14-day full-featured trial starts at that first sign-in. No key and no card are required for the trial. The trial is the top plan for those 14 days, then the app asks you to choose a plan.
Paid plans are subscriptions: Basic: $29/month or $290/year; Pro: $79/month or $790/year; Studio: $199/month or $1,990/year; Super: $299/month or $2,990/year. Yearly prices are two months free compared with paying monthly. The clip allowance, number of Macs, and feature list for each plan are the ones shown in the app and on the pricing page, which both read the same price list. A yearly subscription is the same plan as the monthly one; only the billing period changes.
Paying, renewing, cancelling
Checkout happens inside the app. Buy opens a secure checkout run by [payment processor]. The plan picker states, before you pay, that the plan renews automatically at the price shown until you cancel. The processor may be Lemon Squeezy, Stripe, or Paddle. Lemon Squeezy and Paddle are the merchant of record and handle sales tax. Stripe does not, unless Stripe Tax is turned on, in which case the two partners remain responsible for setting that up. We never see your card number. When the payment lands, the app unlocks itself. A licence key is also emailed, which is the fallback if you need to paste it on another Mac.
Subscriptions renew until you cancel. Monthly plans renew each month. Yearly plans renew each year at the yearly price. A renewal keeps the same subscription and updates the key so it runs until the next renewal date, plus a 3-day grace period so a slow payment does not lock you out mid-race. The grace period is not an extra free month and it is not a second charge.
Cancel from the manage-subscription link in your receipt. That is the same channel you used to pay, and it does not require you to call anyone or to explain why. Cancellation stops the next charge. You keep PlateSort until the end of the period you have already paid for.
DRAFT obligation the partners must turn on before selling yearly plans: a yearly subscriber must get an email before the renewal date that states the renewal price and how to cancel. The payment processor can send that email. This app does not send the reminder itself. Do not advertise yearly billing until that email is actually switched on.
Device limits are the ones on your plan. The key is for you, not for handing out. It shows the name on the subscription.
Your footage stays on your Mac
Sorting runs on your Mac. PlateSort does not upload your video or your start lists in order to sort them. Original clips are copied, not cut. If you link the optional web dashboard, the site receives race names and clip counts only, not footage.
Stella, the AI editor
Stella is optional. She uses your own Claude account and your own API key. When you run an AI edit, the frames she looks at are sent to Anthropic with that key. If you don’t connect Claude, that doesn’t happen. PlateSort’s subscription does not include Claude usage; that bill is between you and Anthropic.
What you must not do
Don’t break the law with the app, don’t try to mint licence keys, don’t share a key so other people can avoid paying, and don’t resell access. You’re responsible for having the right to the footage you sort.
If something goes wrong
PlateSort is provided as-is. Plate reading can be wrong; you still check the clips that matter. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost footage, lost bookings, or indirect damages, and our total liability in a year is limited to the fees you paid us for PlateSort in that year. Some places don’t allow those limits; where they don’t, they don’t apply. Refunds are described in the Refund Policy.
Law and contact
DRAFT placeholder: these terms are governed by the laws of [governing state], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Questions go to kypton@platesort.com, or you can reply to the licence-key email or use the address on your receipt. Mail for the partners goes to [mailing address or PO box]. The two partners should have a written partnership agreement, reviewed by a lawyer, before money is taken.
