RealNAM EULA 1.0

Version: RealNAM EULA 1.0

Effective date: 31 October 2026

Language: English

1. Licensor and scope

The licensor of the program's own parts is Riccardo Consolandi, contactable at riccardo.consolandi.eng@gmail.com. RealNAM is proprietary software distributed free of charge. This licence concerns only the parts of the program and graphical elements in which the licensor can actually grant rights; third-party components and user content remain separate.

RealNAM is intended for loading compatible models and processing audio with them. VST3 plugins, Audio Units and the standalone application are included only for the formats and platforms actually distributed in the release; universal availability is not promised. The licence permits normal use of the plugin in a DAW, including automation, sessions and presets.

2. Permitted use, including commercial use

A free, non-exclusive licence is granted to download legitimately distributed copies, install them and run them on compatible systems that the user controls or is authorised to use. There is no numerical limit on installations on the user's own systems. Necessary backup copies and internal installation by an organisation for the work of its authorised users are permitted.

Personal, educational, professional and commercial use, work in recording studios, paid services and the creation, publication and sale of musical productions and audio content are permitted. Such productions do not require royalties or specific authorisation from the licensor by virtue of this EULA. Rights in the models, recordings and other content used remain necessary.

Ordinary execution of the software on a computer, including a company computer, and normal loading of RealNAM in a compatible DAW do not, by themselves, constitute the commercial incorporation described in section 3.

3. Integration, OEM and distribution in other products

The free licence does not grant the right to redistribute or integrate the proprietary parts of the program, its code, binaries or engine as a functional component of hardware, firmware, another program, plugin or service intended for third parties. These activities require a prior written agreement with Riccardo Consolandi, even if the host product or service is free of charge.

Lawful interoperability alone with an independent program, without redistribution of proprietary parts, does not automatically constitute OEM integration. Merely exchanging files, making a call through a command-line interface (CLI) or using inter-process communication (IPC) does not, by itself, determine that classification. Offering the engine as a functional component of a product or service for third parties remains distinct and requires the agreement described above, even where the technical connection uses CLI or IPC. The rights in section 7 remain unaffected.

Examples include a hardware pedal or processor with the engine integrated, another plugin incorporating program code, a device sold with the software preinstalled and a service offering third parties access to the engine as software functionality. The normal activity of a studio using RealNAM to process audio and deliver recordings to its clients remains permitted use under section 2.

The agreement may govern products, platforms, distribution, support, trade marks and financial terms. Availability of the program free of charge does not imply that these rights are granted or that a proposed collaboration will necessarily be accepted.

4. Reserved rights, copies and trade marks

Without prejudice to applicable mandatory rights, any effects of exhaustion of the distribution right, the exceptions in section 7 and permissions granted separately, the sale, rental, sublicensing or public redistribution of the licensor's own parts of the program is not authorised, even if unmodified. Sharing the link to the official download page is permitted. The internal and backup copies permitted by section 2 do not constitute public redistribution.

No general rights are granted to modify or distribute the licensor's own code, present the program as one's own work or remove its copyright notices. The presence of readable resources necessary for operation does not grant further permissions over the code.

Use of the program does not grant the right to use PNAM, PNAM Studio or RealNAM names, logos or trade marks as the brand of your own product or to suggest endorsement or collaboration. Lawful descriptive references and other uses provided by law remain permitted.

5. Models, productions and user content

Using or loading a model in RealNAM does not transfer rights in the model, recordings, projects or the user's productions to the licensor and does not impose an obligation to publish or share the model. Loading does not change the model's licence or entail automatic acceptance of Library conditions.

Models obtained through PNAM Library remain subject to the licence associated with the model and the conditions applicable to the service. Models obtained from other sources are subject to their respective conditions. This EULA does not establish or change the Library's admission policy or model licences and does not grant rights that the user has not already legitimately obtained.

Software-integration restrictions do not automatically extend to a lawfully obtained model. Use of that model with an independent engine does not require an agreement with the licensor by virtue of this EULA; the model's licence and any third-party rights must still be respected. No separate licence over third-party documentation, format, patents or technology is granted or invented.

6. Third-party components

Third-party components retain their own copyrights and licences. Where applicable, the Third-Party Notices and texts supplied with the specific release identify the components and any source code that must be provided. The attribution, provision of texts and source-availability obligations under the relevant licences must be respected. The licensing materials supplied with the release must correspond to the components actually distributed. For those components, their respective permissions and obligations prevail: this EULA does not restrict rights of use, modification, redistribution or source access granted by those licences.

The applicable licences and obligations are those of the components actually included in the release. Copyright in the licensor's own parts does not constitute a claim of ownership over every element of the package.

7. Mandatory rights and interoperability

Nothing excludes rights that applicable law makes mandatory, including, where the relevant conditions are met, necessary backup copies, observation, study or testing of operation, and decompilation for interoperability. The reservations in sections 3 and 4 apply within the limits permitted by law and do not prohibit lawful independent development. The lawful independent implementation of a runtime compatible with .pnam files, without incorporating or redistributing proprietary parts of RealNAM, does not automatically require an integration agreement by virtue of this EULA. Any third-party rights and conditions applicable to models and other materials used remain unaffected.

8. Library, privacy and security

This EULA does not replace the software's privacy notice. Any access or connection to PNAM Library, if provided by the specific release, is governed separately by the service Terms and Privacy Policy. Use of RealNAM does not automatically entail acceptance of Library conditions. This EULA does not declare that a Library-connection feature is available in the release used.

Data processing and network communications are governed by the notices applicable to the release used. This licence does not authorise automatic collection of audio, projects, models or diagnostics and does not constitute advertising consent. It does not guarantee absolute freedom from vulnerabilities or compatibility with every model or system.

When using the plugin or standalone application, check input and output levels and use prudent listening levels. RealNAM may significantly change the signal level and dynamics depending on the model and settings used. For support or private reports, use the contact in section 1 without sending passwords, tokens or unnecessary confidential material.

9. Updates and availability

Subject to applicable mandatory obligations, no minimum period of updates, support, future compatibility or availability of online services is promised. The cessation or unavailability of any associated online services does not automatically revoke permissions already granted for a copy of the program or change the licences of models already obtained.

New conditions must be identified by version and made available before any required acceptance. This EULA does not apply restrictions retroactively to copies already obtained under other conditions and does not change independent licences or third-party rights.

10. Discontinuing use and breaches

The user may discontinue use and remove copies of the program at any time.

In the event of a material breach of the licence, the licensor notifies the user of the alleged breach and the steps required to remedy it. Where the breach can be remedied, a reasonable opportunity to do so is provided, taking account of its nature and circumstances. If the breach is not remedied, the licensor may give notice terminating the licence to the extent permitted by law. For breaches that cannot be remedied, the termination conditions provided by law and notification of the breach and termination continue to apply. There is no indiscriminate automatic revocation.

Termination concerns the permissions to use the program to which it relates and does not transfer the user's content to the licensor, require deletion of audio productions or revoke independent rights in models or third-party components. Mandatory rights and remedies provided by law remain unaffected.

11. Warranties, liability and disputes

The software may contain errors and is not guaranteed to be suitable for every use. Any disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability apply only to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory rights of users and consumers and liabilities that cannot be excluded remain unaffected. No zero-liability cap is established on the basis that the software is free of charge.

Disputes relating to this EULA are subject to the relevant rules on applicable law and jurisdiction, respecting mandatory provisions and any protections available to consumers. No exclusive court or waiver of remedies provided by law is imposed.

12. Applicable version

This EULA 1.0 takes effect on 31 October 2026 for copies of the program expressly distributed with these conditions. The applicable version must be made accessible with the relevant copy of the software and before any required acceptance.

Copies already obtained under different conditions retain their respective conditions: this EULA does not alter them retroactively. Any conditions of a new version of the program must be identified and made available in accordance with the applicable arrangements. Independent licences of models and third-party components remain unaffected.
