Terms & License

Last updated: 11 November 2026

These terms are between you and the independent developer of SideDim ("we"). By installing or using SideDim you agree to them.

1. Your license

• You may install and use SideDim for free, for personal or work use, on your own computers.
• SideDim stays ours: you may not sell it, rent it, repackage it or remove our notices, and you may not try to bypass Pro or its license check.
• Parts of SideDim are open-source software from others, used under their own licenses (see "Open-source licenses" in the app and our release page).

2. SideDim Pro

• Pro is a one-time purchase (€4.99 at launch, taxes as shown at checkout; not on sale yet). It unlocks every Pro item in the Shop, all bundles, Ambient glow, and the Pro items we add later, in the SideDim version you have and in its updates.
• Your Pro license is personal: use it on any computers that you use yourself. Please don't share or publish your license key; keys that are shared publicly may be blocked in a later update.
• Bought in the Microsoft Store: Microsoft's Store terms also apply and Pro follows your Microsoft account.
• Bought on our website (once available): the payment company named at checkout is the seller of record and handles the payment, tax and receipt; their buyer terms also apply.

3. Free trial

You can try Pro free for 7 days, once, from the Shop. No payment details are needed and nothing renews. When it ends, your Pro looks simply switch back to free ones.

4. Refunds

If Pro isn't for you, ask for a full refund within 14 days of buying — no reason needed: contact us via SideDim's GitHub page (website purchases) or use the Microsoft Store's refund process (Store purchases). This doesn't limit any rights you have by law where you live.

5. Updates

We may improve SideDim with updates. Website/ZIP copies update themselves (you choose when to install; you can switch automatic checks off). We may change or remove free features, but we won't take away Pro items you paid for while they still work on your PC.

6. No warranty

SideDim is provided "as is". We work hard to make it reliable — it always restores your screens when it closes — but we can't promise it is free of bugs or works with every monitor, game or app. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us for SideDim in the last 12 months. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law.

7. Ending

You can stop using SideDim and uninstall it at any time. If you break these terms (for example by publishing a license key or selling copies), your license to the affected part ends.

8. Law and contact

The governing law will be named here before Pro goes on sale. Nothing in these terms takes away the consumer protection of the country you live in. Questions: SideDim's GitHub page.
