Home User Products

The software offered in the Home Users section may only be downloaded, used and purchased by personal, individual non-profit users (consumers). This page contains some information about this regulations.

Why are there Home User products?

Our products are primarily targeted at professional users, for example small commercial radio stations, community radios etc., to bridge the gap between the high-end commercial automation systems and the cheap but limited consumer products.

At the same time, there is a lot of people making radio just for fun from their homes, building semi-professional studios and looking for an automation systems that looks and works exactly like the systems in the professional stations do. Most of these people cannot afford the prices we request from the professional users. As part of our philosophy, we want to support these radio enthusiasts by offering our radio automation system (with slightly limited functionality) as discounted home user editions, which may only be used and licensed by non-profit individual users. In return, we receive a lot of feedback from these users that has positive effect on the future development of the software.

Who is a Home User?

Home Users are consumers according to German federal law (ยง 13 BGB): "A consumer means every natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that is outside his trade, business or profession."

Example for a Home User:

  • A person that uses the software exclusively at home for his or her personal amusement, e.g. working as a DJ for an internet radio station, not being paid for that work.

The following users are not Home Users and are required to use the products from the Professional Users section instead:

  • Individuals that use the software for any commercial purpose.
  • Businesses
  • Associations, non-profit organizations

If in doubt about your status, please get in touch with us.

Frequently asked questions

I'm running an internet radio station as a hobby, what kind of license do I need?

If this is only your hobby, you don't earn any money with it (and don't intend to), you are considered a consumer, and you are allowed to use the discounted Home User licenses.

I'm running an internet radio station, and I have a registered business to be able to receive money through ad sales. What kind of license do I need, and what kind of licesens do my DJs need?

If you have a registered business (which may or may not be VAT registered), you are not allowed to use the Home User products.

The DJs are allowed to use the discounted licenses as long as their are working from their homes and do not receive any money for their shows.

But I do not earn any money, I spend all of the ad sales revenue for server hosting.

Even if you don't break even, you are still running a business and thus a commercial customer, so you cannot use the Home Users products.

We're a non-profit organization, and we cannot afford the Professional Users products.

Please get in touch with us and let us check if we can offer you a discount. If possible, please state what's your budget, what's the required number of licenses, and what you are willing to pay for them.
