These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Pulse Edit and Beat Markers software products ("Software") and the pulseedit.com website ("Website"), provided by AB Tools / Abramo Benedetti ("we", "us", "our").
By using our Website or Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our products.
1. License
Since 10 July 2026, the Pulse suite — Pulse Edit, Pulse Studio and Pulse Color, which one licence unlocks together — is provided on a subscription (monthly or yearly). While your subscription is active we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, single-user license to use it on one computer at a time (you can move the licence to another machine by deactivating it on the first). Beat Markers is unaffected: it remains a one-time purchase with a perpetual license.
- The license is tied to you as an individual. You may not share, resell, sublicense, or transfer your license key to another person.
- Each licence is active on one computer at a time, owned or controlled by you. You can move it: deactivate it on one machine and activate it on another.
- All updates and new features are included for as long as your subscription is active.
- When your subscription ends, your license stops working. Access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for — you are never cut off mid-month.
- The Software offers 3 free generations before a license is required, so you can test it on your own footage before paying.
Licenses bought before 10 July 2026 are perpetual. They remain valid indefinitely, include future updates, and are never revoked or converted to a subscription. Nothing will be charged to their owners.
2. Subscription, Renewal and Cancellation (Pulse Edit)
Pulse Edit costs €13 per month, or €130 per year (two months free), VAT included. The subscription renews automatically — every month or every year, depending on the plan you chose — and is charged to the payment method you gave at checkout, until you cancel it.
You can cancel at any time, yourself, in one click through the customer portal. No email, no phone call, no reason required. There is no contract and no minimum term.
When you cancel, you keep access until the end of the billing period you have already paid for (the month or the year, depending on your plan). After that the license stops validating and the Software stops working. We do not refund the unused part of a billing period you have already paid, except where the law requires it, under section 11 (Changes to These Terms), or under the money-back guarantee below.
Every subscription is backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee — if it doesn’t work on your setup, contact us at support@pulseedit.com and we’ll fix it or refund you, no questions asked.
3. Payments and Refunds
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store or have access to your full payment card details.
14-day refund — no questions asked. If Pulse Edit doesn’t fit your workflow, contact us at support@pulseedit.com within 14 days of purchase and we’ll refund you in full.
License continuity: a refund does not, by itself, revoke a license key (standing policy since 15 May 2026). For a perpetual license bought before 10 July 2026, this means you keep the Software as a goodwill gesture. For a subscription, access ends when the subscription ends: if you want a refund and no further charges, cancel the subscription as well — refunding a payment does not cancel future ones.
EU consumers: the 14-day right of withdrawal under EU Directive 2011/83/EU is fully honored. No waiver applies.
Electronic withdrawal function: in line with Art. 54-bis of the Italian Consumer Code (Legislative Decree no. 209/2025, transposing Directive (EU) 2023/2673, in force from 19 June 2026), you can withdraw from your purchase through a clear electronic function at any time during the withdrawal period. See Right of Withdrawal & Refunds for the withdrawal form and the EU model form.
VAT: all prices on this website are in EUR and VAT is included — nothing is added on top at checkout, whatever your billing country. If you pay from outside the euro area, your bank or Stripe may convert the amount into your local currency at their own rate. Your Stripe receipt always shows the exact amount charged.
4. Legal guarantee of conformity
As a consumer you have, free of charge and in addition to our 14-day money-back guarantee, a legal guarantee of conformity. Pulse Edit, Pulse Studio, Pulse Color and Beat Markers must match their description, be fit for the purposes digital content and digital services of this kind are normally used for, and receive the updates needed to keep them in conformity.
For a subscription this applies for the whole time we supply it. For Beat Markers, a one-time purchase, it applies for two years from delivery.
If they are not in conformity you may require us to bring them into conformity and, failing that, obtain a proportionate price reduction or terminate the contract and get a refund. Write to support@pulseedit.com. EU consumers: Italian Consumer Code, artt. 135-octies and following (Directive (EU) 2019/770).
5. Intellectual Property
Our IP: All intellectual property rights in the Software, Website, and related materials (code, design, documentation, branding) are owned by AB Tools. You may not decompile, reverse-engineer, modify, or redistribute the Software.
Your content: You retain full ownership of all videos, audio, and other content you create using our Software. We claim no rights over your creative output.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Share, distribute, or publish your license key
- Attempt to bypass license validation
- Decompile, reverse-engineer, or modify the Software
- Use the Software for any unlawful purpose
7. Consumer Rights and Limitation of Liability
If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms limits or excludes your statutory rights. Under Legislative Decree no. 173/2021 (transposing Directive (EU) 2019/770), the Software must be in conformity with the contract for the entire period we supply it to you, and you keep in full the remedies the law gives you — bringing the Software into conformity, a proportionate price reduction, or termination of the contract with a refund. You keep these remedies in addition to, and beyond, the 14-day money-back guarantee described in sections 2 and 3. Any clause purporting to exclude or limit those remedies is void and we do not rely on one.
Consumers in the EU — your legal guarantee is not affected. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and digital services under Directive (EU) 2019/770 (in Italy, Legislative Decree no. 173/2021, which inserted Articles 135-octies and following into the Consumer Code). If Pulse Edit is not in conformity with the contract, you are entitled — free of charge — to have it brought into conformity, or to a proportionate price reduction, or to terminate the contract, as the law provides. On a subscription, we owe you that conformity for as long as we supply the Software under your plan, not only during the first 14 days. Our 14-day money-back guarantee is a commercial promise we add on top, voluntarily: it does not replace, shorten, or condition your rights under the law.
The following limitations apply only to business users (customers acting for purposes relating to their trade, business, craft or profession), and only to the extent permitted by mandatory law.
Except as set out above, and to the fullest extent permitted by the law that applies to you: for business users, the Software is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. This exclusion does not apply to consumers: nothing in these Terms limits or excludes the legal guarantee of conformity or any other right you have under mandatory consumer law — see Legal guarantee of conformity above.
For business users, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, AB Tools shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Software or Website, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption; and, subject to the paragraph below, our total liability for any claim related to these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Software in the twelve months preceding the claim. Nothing here excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. This cap does not apply to consumers where mandatory law provides otherwise.
Consumers — your statutory rights come first. Nothing in this section limits or excludes any right you have under mandatory consumer law. If you are a consumer in the EU, the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and digital services (Italian Consumer Code, artt. 135-octies and following, implementing Directive (EU) 2019/770) applies in full: for a subscription, for the whole time we supply it; for a one-time purchase such as Beat Markers, for the period the law provides. If the Software does not conform, you can ask us to bring it into conformity and, failing that, obtain a price reduction or end the contract and be refunded. The exclusions and the liability cap above never apply to death or personal injury, to fraud or gross negligence, or wherever mandatory law provides otherwise.
8. Service Availability
We do not guarantee any specific uptime or service level agreement (SLA) for our Website or license validation servers — this does not affect the legal guarantee of conformity described in section 7 for consumers. We make reasonable efforts to keep services available but may perform maintenance or updates at our discretion. This does not apply to license validation: if our servers stop your licensed copy from running, that is a conformity issue and Section 7 above applies.
Software updates and new features are provided at our discretion and are included free with your license.
If we change or remove a feature you already have, in a way that has more than a minor negative effect on your use of the Software, we will tell you in advance by email — in a form you can keep — and you may cancel free of charge under section 11. Changes needed to keep the Software working, secure, or compatible with a new version of your editing software are not covered by this and are made as part of normal maintenance.
This section does not affect the statutory conformity rights of consumers described in section 7.
Your consumer rights come first: nothing in sections 7 and 8 limits the statutory rights you have as a consumer. If the Software or our licence servers stop working the way you can reasonably expect, EU consumers keep the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services under the Italian Consumer Code — repair, a price reduction, or ending the contract with a refund. Write to support@pulseedit.com and we will sort it out.
9. Termination
We reserve the right to revoke your license if you violate these Terms, including but not limited to sharing license keys, attempting to circumvent license validation, or redistributing the Software.
Before revoking a licence we will write to the email address you bought with, tell you what we have seen, and give you 14 days to reply or to stop. If we do revoke it, we refund the part of the period you have already paid for and will not be able to use.
Upon termination, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies.
If we revoke a subscription licence, we refund the unused part of the period you have already paid for, unless the revocation follows a breach of section 6 by you. Nothing in this section affects the statutory rights of consumers.
10. Privacy
Your use of our Website and Software is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect and use your data.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms only for a valid reason: a change in the law or in official guidance, a change in how the licence or the Software works, a new product joining the licence, a change of our payment or licensing providers, or to fix an error or make a clause clearer. Changes never apply retroactively to a period you have already paid for. We will never use this clause to raise the price of a subscription already running: a new price applies only from your next renewal, and we will tell you before it.
If a change affects a subscription that is already running, we will email you at least 30 days before it takes effect. You can cancel before that date and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. If the change has more than a minor negative effect on what you get and you cancel within 30 days of our notice — or of the change itself, whichever is later — we will also refund, pro rata, the part of the period you have paid for and will not use. Nothing here limits your statutory rights.
12. How the contract is concluded
Technical steps. 1) On pulseedit.com/checkout.html you choose the monthly or the yearly plan; 2) you fill in the Stripe payment form (email, payment method, billing details); 3) you can review and change every field, and switch plan, at any point before you confirm — nothing is charged until you press the payment button; 4) pressing that button places an order with an obligation to pay and concludes the contract; 5) we send you a confirmation email with your licence key and the download links.
Correcting input errors. Until you press the payment button you can edit or clear any field in the form, or leave the page. If you spot a mistake after paying (wrong email, wrong plan), write to support@pulseedit.com and we will correct it.
Language. The contract is concluded in English. English is the only language in which the contract is available.
Filing and access. AB Tools files each order — the Stripe payment record and the licence record — and keeps it for the period required by Italian tax law. You can access your orders and invoices at any time from the customer portal, or ask us for a copy at support@pulseedit.com. These Terms can be saved and printed from this page, and the version in force at the time of your order applies to it.
Codes of conduct. AB Tools does not adhere to any code of conduct.
13. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Italy, where AB Tools is registered. EU consumers retain rights under their home jurisdiction's consumer protection laws and can get free help from the European Consumer Centre network (ECC-Net) — in Italy, ecc-netitalia.it. The EU ODR platform closed in 2025 and is no longer available.
