TERMS OF SERVICE
Effective Date: April 9, 2026 · Last Updated: August 4, 2026
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By accessing or using BeamTracer ("beamtracer.com"), including the Audio Visualizers, OSC-1 Oscilloscope, and BT Laser Studio applications (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
The Service is operated by BeamTracer LLC, a California limited liability company located in San Mateo County, California ("we," "us," or "our").
2. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
Certain features require a registered account. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately via our contact form if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS & BILLING
BeamTracer offers Free, Pro ($12/mo), Bundle ($24/mo), and Studio ($39/mo) subscription tiers. Annual billing is available at a discounted rate. All prices are in USD.
- Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis via Stripe.
- You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' advance notice to existing subscribers.
5. REFUND POLICY
Every BeamTracer account includes free trial credits that let you use premium features — AI tools, ILDA and 4K export, laser DAC output, and more — before subscribing, so you can evaluate paid functionality at no cost. Because of this, paid plans are non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law. You may cancel at any time; your access continues through the end of the current billing period and you will not be charged again. We do not issue refunds for partial billing periods. At our sole discretion we may refund duplicate or accidental charges, or genuine technical faults that prevented use of the Service. Purchased AI credits and consumed usage are non-refundable. Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play are governed by the refund policies of those app stores.
6. ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service.
- Circumvent subscription tier restrictions or rate limits.
- Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to access the Service.
- Upload malicious content, malware, or content that infringes third-party rights.
- Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service or its output without authorization.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Service, including all software, design, documentation, and branding, is proprietary to BeamTracer LLC. All rights reserved.
Your Content: You retain ownership of content you create using the Service (visualizer recordings, ILDA files, exported media). We claim no rights to your output.
Commercial Use: Commercial use of exported content (live shows, YouTube, client work) requires a Pro, Bundle, or Studio subscription. Free-tier output is for personal, non-commercial use only.
8. LASER SAFETY DISCLAIMER
WARNING: LASER RADIATION HAZARD
The OSC-1 Oscilloscope and BT Laser Studio applications can output signals to laser digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that control Class 3B and Class 4 laser projectors. These devices emit laser radiation that can cause permanent eye injury or blindness, and can cause skin burns or fire.
- You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laser safety regulations, including FDA/CDRH 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 (United States), IEC 60825 (international), and all state/local regulations.
- Never point a laser at people, aircraft, vehicles, or reflective surfaces.
- A qualified Laser Safety Officer (LSO) must supervise all public laser displays.
- BeamTracer provides laser output tools as-is. We are not responsible for how you use laser hardware connected to the Service.
