Terms of Use and Sale

Last updated: 15 August 2026

These Terms of Use and Sale, which also constitute the End User Licence Agreement (the "Terms"), govern access to and use of the desktop software for macOS Aldo Reborn (the "Application"), which lets you compose photo fanzines with automatic print imposition. They also govern the sale of the licence that unlocks export.

By installing, launching or using the Application, you (the "User") accept these Terms in full. If you do not accept them, you must not install or use the Application.

The Application is published by Rémi Courtillon (the "Publisher"), whose contact details appear in section 15.

• Application: the Aldo Reborn software, currently published for macOS, including its updates.
• Trial: the free evaluation period described in section 4.1.
• Licence: the right to use the Application granted to the User under section 3. Access to the export feature depends on section 4.
• Licence key: the alphanumeric code delivered after purchase, used to activate the Licence in the Application (section 4.3).
• Publisher: the person publishing the Application, identified in section 15.
• Lemon Squeezy: the third-party provider acting as Merchant of Record for the sale of licences (section 5).
• Works: the projects, layouts, fanzines and exported PDF files the User produces with the Application.

Subject to compliance with these Terms, and for export subject to an active Trial or an active Licence (section 4), the Publisher grants the User a licence that is:

• personal, for private or professional use. The Application places no restriction on commercial use of the Works made with it.
• non-exclusive.
• non-assignable and non-transferable to a third party, unless the Publisher agrees in writing beforehand.
• limited to creating, laying out and exporting fanzines. Any other use is excluded, in particular decompiling, reverse engineering, reselling or sub-licensing the software itself, or extracting its source code.

This licence gives the User no ownership right over the Application, its components, its design or the Aldo character (section 8).

4.1 Seven-day free trial

Designing in the Application is free and unlimited, during the Trial and after it. Only PDF export requires an active right of access, that is an ongoing Trial or an active Licence.

The first time the Application is opened, the User gets a seven-day free trial. It starts and is checked locally on the device, with no payment card and no account. It unlocks export for its whole duration, at full resolution and with no watermark. The Application sends nothing to Lemon Squeezy during the Trial, because no licence key is stored yet.

The start date of the Trial is written once to a local file on the device. The Application does not start a new trial for as long as that record exists. This is a technical behaviour, not a paid commitment.

4.2 Buying a licence

Once the Trial ends, export requires the purchase of a licence, paid in a single payment, with no automatic renewal, through Lemon Squeezy (section 5). Three tiers are offered:

• 1 Month Pass, €2.99: export for 30 days from activation.
• For Life, €14.99: export with no expiry date.
• For Life - Supporter Edition, €24.99: the same lifetime export, at a higher price, to help fund the project.

All three tiers unlock exactly the same export: full resolution, print-ready, no watermark and no page limit. Only the duration differs.

Prices are shown on the pricing page and on the Lemon Squeezy checkout. Any VAT or sales tax due in the User's country is calculated and added by Lemon Squeezy. The final amount payable is displayed at checkout before the User confirms the purchase. The tiers, durations and prices shown on the Lemon Squeezy checkout at the time of purchase are the ones that apply.

Some Users who bought before this model was introduced hold a legacy monthly subscription, which is no longer sold. Those Users remain governed by the terms that applied to their subscription for as long as it stays active.

4.3 Key activation, and no account

Aldo Reborn requires no user account with the Publisher. After purchase, Lemon Squeezy emails a licence key to the User. The User pastes that key into the Application, which checks it with Lemon Squeezy and then keeps a local entitlement record that governs access to export.

When a licence key is stored on the device, the Application contacts Lemon Squeezy at every launch to revalidate it. There is no other schedule and no background timer. If the Application cannot reach Lemon Squeezy, export keeps working for up to 30 days from the last successful check, after which export locks until the next successful check. A lock never affects Works already saved on the device: they stay open for reading and editing.

Licences are sold by Lemon Squeezy, the trading name of Sold through Link, LLC f/k/a Lemon Squeezy LLC, a Utah limited liability company, whose published contact address is 222 South Main Street, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101, USA. Lemon Squeezy acts as Merchant of Record. It is therefore Lemon Squeezy, and not the Publisher, that is the seller of the transaction in both contractual and tax terms. Invoicing, collection and remittance of any applicable VAT or sales tax, payment processing and refunds are handled by Lemon Squeezy under its own Buyer Terms.

As a result:

• any request for an invoice, a refund or a change of payment method should be addressed to Lemon Squeezy through its customer portal, which is reachable from the Application.
• the Publisher will help the User with those steps, and will apply on the Application side, without delay, any refund or licence revocation decided by Lemon Squeezy. Revocation deactivates the key and returns export to its unlicensed state.
• the consumer rights described in section 6 are exercised, as regards the payment itself, against Lemon Squeezy in its capacity as seller. This section is informative and does not reduce those rights.

Separately from the statutory right of withdrawal, Lemon Squeezy operates its own refund policy. Its Buyer Terms state that refunds are granted at its sole discretion, case by case, and may be refused. A commercial refund of that kind is not the same thing as the statutory withdrawal right described in section 6, which does not depend on anyone's discretion.

6.1 Principle

Under Article L221-18 of the French Consumer Code, which transposes Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, a consumer, meaning a natural person acting outside their trade or profession, who buys a Licence at a distance has fourteen (14) calendar days from the conclusion of the contract, that is the date of purchase, to withdraw. No reason has to be given and no penalty applies, apart from any cost expressly provided for by law.

Users buying in a professional capacity, whether a company or a self-employed person acting within their business, do not benefit from this right, save in the limited cases set out in Article L221-3 of the French Consumer Code. Where there is any doubt, the Publisher recommends applying the 14-day period.

6.2 Digital content supplied immediately

A Licence is digital content not supplied on a tangible medium. Article L221-28, 13 of the French Consumer Code, which transposes Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU, provides that the right of withdrawal does not apply to such content where performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent and their acknowledgement that they thereby lose that right. Both conditions must be met.

The actual sequence is as follows. The purchase is made on the Lemon Squeezy checkout. Lemon Squeezy then emails the licence key, which is the delivery of the digital content. The User later pastes that key into the Application, which unlocks export.

The consent and the acknowledgement described above are not collected by the Publisher. They are set out in the Lemon Squeezy Buyer Terms, which govern the purchase and which Lemon Squeezy describes as a click-wrap agreement accepted before payment. The checkout links to those terms. There is no separate, dedicated tick box covering the waiver on its own. If the conditions of Article L221-28, 13 are not met, the 14-day period applies in full.

6.3 How to withdraw

A withdrawal request must be sent within the period above, either through the Lemon Squeezy customer portal or to the Publisher's contact address (section 15). Any refund due is processed by Lemon Squeezy as the seller (section 5).

6.4 The free trial is not concerned

The seven-day free trial (section 4.1) involves no payment and is therefore not a contract of sale. The right of withdrawal described above does not apply to it, as there is nothing to withdraw from.

The Application lets the User pick, for their Works, fonts already installed on their own operating system, or any font the User installs there. The Application does not ship or distribute any third-party font file of its own: it contains no font file at all. Its default setting, Arial, relies on a font already present on the User's operating system.

As a result:

• the Publisher does not supply, sell, grant or sub-licence any font licence as part of the Application.
• choosing a font, obtaining it and complying with its licence terms, whether it is a system font, a purchased font, a free font or an open source font, are the User's sole responsibility. This includes any use involving reproduction, printing, distribution or commercial exploitation of Works containing that font.
• the User warrants holding, for every font used, the rights needed for the use they make of it, in particular for printing and for embedding in a PDF file. The User agrees to indemnify the Publisher against any third-party claim arising from a breach of this obligation.
• the Publisher accepts no liability for unauthorised use of a font by the User.

8.1 Ownership of the Application

The Application, including its source code, its interface, its design, its documentation and the Aldo character, is protected by copyright and remains the exclusive property of Rémi Courtillon. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership right in the Application to the User.

8.2 Ownership of the User's Works

The Works the User makes with the Application, meaning layouts, editorial choices, project files and exported PDFs, remain the full property of the User. The Publisher claims no right over the content the User produces with the Application, whether text, images or layout, subject to third-party rights that the User must respect themselves, including image rights, text rights and font licences (section 7).

Projects and exported files are stored only on the User's device. There is no cloud synchronisation, as set out in the privacy policy. The Publisher therefore has no technical access to any of the User's Works.

Processing of the User's personal data, in particular for licence activation, is described in the Aldo Reborn privacy policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

The Application is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by applicable law:

• the Publisher does not warrant that the Application is free of errors or that it will run without interruption.
• the Publisher is not liable for indirect damage, including loss of data, business interruption or loss of profit, arising from the use of or the inability to use the Application.
• the User is advised to keep their own backups of their projects and files.
• nothing in this section limits the mandatory statutory guarantees available to a consumer under French and European law, in particular the legal guarantee of conformity and the guarantee against hidden defects, which cannot be waived.

These Terms apply for as long as the User uses the Application. The User may stop using the Application at any time by uninstalling it, with no formality.

The Publisher may suspend or revoke access to export if a licence key is revoked by Lemon Squeezy, for example after a refund, a payment dispute or fraud, or if the User seriously breaches these Terms and does not put it right, in particular by misusing the trial system or attempting to bypass the licence. Such a suspension never affects reading or editing access to Works already made, which stay usable locally.

The Publisher may release updates to the Application, including fixes and new features. Updates are delivered through the updater built into the Application, at no extra cost. The licence key for the For Life tiers has no expiry date. The User is told what changed in each version through the "What's new" window inside the Application.

Continuing to use the Application after an update means accepting the version of these Terms in force at the time of that update (section 16).

Any complaint should first be sent to the Publisher at hello@aldoreborn.com. The Publisher will answer directly and try to settle the matter.

If a dispute cannot be settled that way, a User who is a consumer may turn to an approved alternative dispute resolution body. The European Commission publishes the list of approved bodies for each member state: list of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) bodies.

These Terms, which govern the relationship between the Publisher and the User, are subject to French law. If a dispute arises and cannot be settled amicably or through the route described in section 13, the competent French courts may be seised. This is subject to the mandatory consumer protection rules that apply, in particular the right of a consumer resident in the European Union to bring proceedings before the courts of their own place of residence, and to the mandatory rules of the consumer's country of residence, which remain unaffected.

The purchase itself is a contract between the User and Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record (section 5). That contract is governed by the Lemon Squeezy Buyer Terms and by the law they designate, again without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rules of the User's country of residence.
