LEGAL
Version 1.0, effective November 12, 2026
This agreement is between you and Gold Palm Media Group LLC, doing business as FCP Academy ("FCP Academy," "we," "us"). By installing or using PoreFect, you agree to it. If you do not agree, do not install or use PoreFect.
When you buy PoreFect, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use it on up to two Macs that you own or control. Each additional Mac needs its own purchase.
You can use PoreFect in Final Cut Pro and Motion on any project, personal or commercial, including paid client work. The videos you make with it are yours. We claim no rights in them.
You may not:
PoreFect is licensed, not sold. FCP Academy owns the software, its name and logo, and all related intellectual property. This agreement gives you a right to use PoreFect and nothing more. PoreFect includes components from third parties, such as Apple's FxPlug framework, which remain the property of their owners.
PoreFect checks fcpacademy.com for new versions and offers them to you. Updates are covered by this agreement. We may add, change, or remove features, and we are not obligated to release updates or to support every version of macOS or Final Cut Pro.
PoreFect processes your video entirely on your Mac. Nothing you edit is uploaded. The only connection PoreFect makes is to fcpacademy.com, to check for and download updates. Like any web request, that connection shows your IP address to the server. PoreFect sends no other information about you or your projects.
Support is by email at dylanjohn@fcpacademy.com. We will make a reasonable effort to help, but we do not guarantee a response time or a fix for every problem.
All sales are final. The one exception: if PoreFect does not work on a Mac that meets the system requirements listed on the store page, email us within 30 days of your purchase. We will work with you to get it running, and if we cannot, we will refund your purchase.
POREFECT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, FCP ACADEMY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT POREFECT WILL BE ERROR-FREE, WILL WORK WITH EVERY MAC OR EVERY VERSION OF MACOS, FINAL CUT PRO, OR MOTION, OR WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, FCP ACADEMY IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST WORK, OR MISSED DEADLINES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF POREFECT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR POREFECT.
Some places do not allow these limits, so parts of sections 9 and 10 may not apply to you. Nothing in this agreement removes rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.
Your license lasts until it ends. It ends automatically if you break this agreement. If it ends, you must stop using PoreFect and delete every copy. Sections 4, 9, 10, and 12 continue to apply.
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Nevada, unless the consumer protection law where you live requires otherwise.
We may update this agreement for future versions of PoreFect. The agreement that comes with the version you install is the one that applies to it. The current text is always at fcpacademy.com/porefect-license.
This is the entire agreement between you and FCP Academy about PoreFect. If a court finds part of it unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. You may not transfer this agreement to anyone else. Final Cut Pro, Motion, and macOS are trademarks of Apple Inc. PoreFect is not made, sponsored, or endorsed by Apple.
