2. Evaluation
Medialooks offers a free 30-day evaluation (trial) license for all its products. The purpose of the evaluation license is to test, build prototypes and demo.
It is strictly prohibited to distribute or deploy Medialooks software with or without an evaluation license. A full commercial license has to be purchased for redistribution or deployment.
3. License types
A license is required to use Medialooks software. There are two license types:
- Single Developer license. This license grants the Licensee with the right to use our products by either one developer (Single Developer License) or 4 developers (Team License). There is no limitation on the number of executable applications, as well as deployed or redistributed copies. This type of license applies to the following products: MPlatform and all additional components.
- Team license. The same as Single Developer, but valid for 4 developers.
4. License Validity, Updates & Support
Every license type includes a perpetual deployment license and a 1 year subscription for updates (the ability to deploy new releases) and support. See this FAQ post for clarification.
Once expired, this subscription can be renewed with the following discounts from the full price of the license at moment of renewal:
- 50% if renewed within 3 months upon expiration;
- 25% if renewed within 1 year upon expiration.
No discount will be provided after 1 year from subscription expiration date.
Upon delivery of the license keys the Licensee's email address (or several addresses) will be associated with his license and periodical mailings with information about new releases (including information about bug fixes and new features) will be made. The Licensee agrees that at least one email address will be provided and will be receiving such mailings in order for MediaLooks to make sure the Licensee is informed about the Product's changes.
MediaLooks reserves the right to make occasional cross-promotions to inform the Licensee about related products and add-ons.
Support is provided via an online ticketing system available in the Support section of the MediaLooks' web site. In order to submit a support case, you need to be a registered user.
Support is provided only for the latest non-beta version of a MediaLooks product. The option to download any particular version is provided during one year since it's release date.
If a product is discontinued, support will be provided until the expiration of the current subscription period. The option to renew the subscription will not be provided. Instead, a migration path to a replacing product may be offered.
For Single Application licenses, an executable name can be changed, but only during a valid subscription. The use of the previously issued license will be automatically cancelled.
5. Payment & Delivery
MediaLooks offers several payment options. For details please contact the sales team.
Delivery of license files is made within 48 hours after receipt of payment by MediaLooks. Delivery is made in electronic form via email.
It is the Customer's responsibility to provide the executable names (required for the Single Application license) to MediaLooks. Any delay in providing MediaLooks with this data will not affect the license activation date.
6. Third Party Licensing
Licensing of any third-party components or patents (such as those from Apple, MPEG LA or Dolby) that may be used together with the Product or be an integral part of the Product is the responsibility of the Licensee. This may be especially important for Decoder Lib and Encoder Lib.
7. License Limitations
MediaLooks Products cannot be used to create products that target developers, programmers or software engineers such as, but not limited to software development kits, libraries (LIBs and DLLs), COM/ActiveX, .NET components or toolkits. The Licensee's product should not expose any of its functionality through an application programming interface (API) unless the user of such software has a relevant license agreement with MediaLooks. If you are not sure whether your application is developer oriented, please contact us.
The license cannot be transferred to a third party without written permission from MediaLooks.
If you want your application to be distributed by a third party under an OEM agreement, please contact MediaLooks to obtain a separate license.
8. Intellectual Property
You will not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Product.
Any comments, ideas, recommendations that the Licensee provides to MediaLooks regarding the Product can be used by MediaLooks to improve the Product and shall be considered Intellectual Property (IP) of MediaLooks.
9. Right of Reference
MediaLooks may, on its website, in its documents, brochures and other promotional materials, state that the Licensee has licensed the Product from MediaLooks and provide information about the Customer Application. The Licensee shall, if reasonably possible, provide the Licensor with relevant information upon request. The Licensee may submit a written request that we do not enforce this right; such request will be fulfilled.
10. Liability
MediaLooks licenses the Product to the Licensee on an "as is" basis and makes no promises, express or implied, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, regarding the Product or its use and operation alone or in combination with other software.

The Licensor's liability shall not exceed the cost of this License.
However, in reality we do our best to fight with every bug in order to perfect our software and make each of our customers happy.
11. Termination
