These terms are between you and VPO Labs ("we", "us"), the developer of Showglass for Mac. Contact: support@vpolabs.com.

Apart from Setapp (below), Showglass comes in two editions built from the same code: the App Store edition, from the Mac App Store, and the direct edition, downloaded from showglass.vpolabs.com. Sections 1 and 3 say which parts apply to which edition; everything else applies to both.

1. Which license applies

App Store edition. Showglass is licensed to you under Apple's Standard End User License Agreement for apps distributed through the App Store ("Licensed Application End User License Agreement"), published at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. We have not replaced it with our own. These terms are a short supplement that adds the points below. If they and Apple's standard terms conflict, Apple's standard terms win, except where these terms give you more rights.
Direct edition. These terms are the license. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Showglass as section 5 describes, and, once you have a license key, to use Showglass Pro on up to two Macs at a time.

The Setapp edition. If you got Showglass through Setapp, Setapp's terms cover your access, payment and refunds, and Setapp updates the app. Section 3 doesn't apply to it: it has no purchase, license key or trial. The rest of these terms does.

2. What you get

Showglass is free. It includes the Free previews and the whole host app. Showglass Pro unlocks the additional kinds of preview described on showglass.vpolabs.com, on the App Store page and inside the app, and five more color themes. Which kinds are Free and which are Pro is shown in the app. We will not move a kind of file from Free to Pro after you have been using it. Without Pro, every Pro kind of file still opens in a plain view.

3. Showglass Pro: one-time purchase

Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It does not renew and is not charged again. A purchase in one edition works only in that edition: an App Store purchase does not unlock the direct edition, and a license key does not unlock the App Store edition.

In the App Store edition

Pro is an in-app purchase made inside the Showglass app, through the App Store, with Apple as the seller and payment processor. The price shown in the App Store at the time of purchase applies, in your currency and including any taxes.
Restore Purchases. If you reinstall Showglass, get a new Mac, or buy Pro on one Mac and want it on another, open Settings › General and choose Restore Purchases under Showglass Pro, signed in with the same Apple Account. No further charge applies.
Refunds. Apple takes the payment and decides refund requests. Request a refund at https://reportaproblem.apple.com or through the App Store. We cannot refund App Store purchases ourselves. If Apple refunds or revokes your purchase, Pro turns off on your Mac the next time you open Showglass.

In the direct edition

Free trial. The direct edition includes a 14-day free trial of every Pro feature, from the first time you open it. No payment details are needed and nothing is charged when it ends: Pro turns off and Free stays as it is. The trial runs once; reinstalling Showglass does not restart it.
Buying. Pro is a license key bought through the checkout of Dodo Payments, which is the merchant of record: Dodo sells the license to you, takes the payment, charges the VAT or sales tax for your country and sends you the receipt and the key by email. Dodo's own terms of sale apply to the payment. The price shown at checkout, with the tax for your country, applies.
Two Macs. A key works on two Macs at a time. To move it, choose Settings › General › Deactivate This Mac on the old Mac, or free a Mac from Manage your license on showglass.vpolabs.com (key and purchase email needed), then activate the key on the new one. A key does not expire.
Checks. The app checks the key with Dodo Payments at most once a day. If Dodo can't be reached, Pro stays on for 14 days after the last successful check, then pauses until a check succeeds. A refunded or disabled key turns Pro off.
Your key is for you. Do not share or publish your key. We may disable a key that is shared publicly or bought fraudulently, and Dodo may disable a key whose payment is reversed.
Refunds. Write to support@vpolabs.com with the email address you used for the order. We decide refund requests and Dodo Payments, which took the payment, issues the refund. A refunded key is disabled, and Pro turns off on your Macs at the next check.
Updates. The direct edition updates itself with Sparkle from showglass.vpolabs.com. It asks before installing an update.

Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights as a consumer (section 8).

4. This Mac

On each Mac, Showglass keeps a record that Pro is unlocked, tied to that Mac. It lets Quick Look use Pro without contacting anyone. It is checked and updated whenever you open Showglass.

5. What you may do

You may use Showglass on Macs you own or control, for any lawful purpose, including with files for your work. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute Showglass, remove its notices, or try to unlock Pro without purchasing it, except where the law gives you that right that cannot be excluded. Third-party components, if any, are covered by their own licenses, listed in the Acknowledgments.

6. Your files

Showglass only reads the files you preview, on your Mac. Your files stay yours. We do not receive, store or have any right over them. See the Privacy Policy. Showglass never runs code that a file contains. A preview shows what a file contains; it does not tell you whether the file is safe, and you remain responsible for files you open elsewhere.

7. No warranty, limited liability

Showglass is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we give no warranty that previews are complete, accurate or error-free, that every file will preview, or that Showglass will work in every version of macOS. Previews depend on macOS, Quick Look and the file itself, and can be limited by them. Do not rely on a preview alone for decisions where an error would be costly. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of data or loss of profit, and our total liability to you for anything arising from Showglass is limited to the price you paid for Pro (or, if you only use the Free version, to EUR 50). This section does not limit liability for death or personal injury, intent or gross negligence, fraud, or anything the law does not allow us to limit.

For the App Store edition, as between you and Apple, Apple has no warranty or support obligation for Showglass; any warranty or support is ours. See Apple's standard terms.

8. Consumer rights, Romanian law, EU consumers

We are based in Romania. These terms are governed by Romanian law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the mandatory protections of the country where you live; nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under EU or national consumer law, including your legal rights if digital content or a digital service is not in conformity with the contract, and your right of withdrawal where it applies. For the App Store edition, Apple's checkout explains how the right of withdrawal works for digital content, and you use it through Apple as described in section 3. For a license key, the checkout of Dodo Payments explains it, and you use it by writing to support@vpolabs.com. If a dispute cannot be settled, consumers may bring it before the courts of the place where they live; otherwise the competent courts of Romania apply. Consumers in Romania can also contact the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC, www.anpc.ro).

9. Support

Email support@vpolabs.com, or use "Send Feedback…" in the app, which sends your message to us and shows our answer in the same window. We aim to reply within a few working days.

10. Changes and ending

We may update Showglass and these terms. We will not make a change that takes away a purchased right without a legal basis. You may stop using Showglass at any time by deleting it. If you break these terms, your license under them may end; sections that by nature survive (for example 7 and 8) continue.

11. Trademarks

Showglass and VPO Labs are marks of VPO Labs. Apple, Mac, macOS, Finder, Quick Look and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc. Dodo Payments is a trademark of its owner. Showglass is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.

12. Changes to these terms

Version 1.2 (4 November 2026) adds the Setapp edition. Version 1.1 (1 November 2026) adds the direct edition from our website: the 14-day free trial, the license key sold by Dodo Payments as merchant of record, two Macs per key, refunds by email and updates from our website. It also points Restore Purchases to Settings › General and no longer mentions Family Sharing. Version 1.0 (19 October 2026) covered the App Store edition.
