Slipway

Terms of Service

Last updated October 20, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Ahlgren Media Group LLC ("we", "us"). They cover the Slipway desktop app for Mac and Windows (the "app"), your subscription, and this website. By downloading, installing, buying or using the app, you agree to them. If you accept them for a company, you confirm that you can bind that company, and "you" includes it.

1. Who can use the app

You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, to buy a subscription.

2. Your license

The app is proprietary software owned by Ahlgren Media Group LLC. It is licensed, not sold. While your free trial or paid subscription is active, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the app on up to 2 computers that you own or control. One license is for one person. After your trial or subscription ends, you may keep using the app to open and view courses, but not to save changes.

You may not:

  • copy, sell, rent, lend, sublicense or redistribute the app;
  • share your license key, or use one license on more than 2 computers at a time;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except where the law allows it despite this limit;
  • remove, disable or get around the license check, or remove any notices in the app;
  • use the app to break the law or to infringe anyone's rights.

We keep all rights not granted here, including all intellectual property in the app and this website.

3. Free trial

The app includes a free trial of 14 days that starts the first time you open it. No payment card is needed. When the trial ends, you can still open courses, but saving needs a paid subscription.

4. Subscription and payment

The app is sold as a yearly subscription for $199 a year, in US dollars. It renews automatically at the end of each year until you cancel.

Orders are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our reseller and merchant of record. It takes your payment, charges any sales tax or VAT that applies, and sends your receipt and license key. Its buyer terms also apply to your purchase.

If we change the price, we'll email you before the new price applies to your next renewal, so you can cancel first if you choose.

5. Cancelling and refunds

You can cancel anytime from the link in your receipt email. The app keeps working until the end of the year you paid for, and the subscription doesn't renew. Refunds follow our Refund Policy.

6. Your course files

Your course files stay yours. The app opens and saves them on your own computer and never sends them to us. You are responsible for having the right to open and edit the files you work on, and for keeping your own backups. The app keeps a backup each time it saves over a file, but it isn't a backup service.

7. Updates

The app checks for new versions and can download and install them. Updates may add, change or remove features. These terms apply to every version of the app.

8. Other products

Slipway is an independent product. It is not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by the maker of any authoring tool, and names of other products belong to their owners. We work to keep saved files opening in the authoring tool, but other products change over time, so we can't promise that every file opens in every version of another product.

9. No warranty

The app and this website are provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that it will work with every file.

10. Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim arising from these terms, the app or this website is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or work, even if we were told they were possible. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

11. Ending the license

You can stop using the app at any time. If you break these terms, we may suspend or end your license after telling you why, and you must then stop using the app. Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 14 still apply after a license ends.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll post the new version here with a new date, and email subscribers about any significant change before it takes effect. If you keep using the app after that, the new terms apply.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be heard in the state or federal courts in Hawaii, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law where you live.

14. General

These terms, with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the app. If a court finds part of them unenforceable, the rest still applies. You may not transfer these terms or your license to anyone else without our written consent; we may transfer them to a company that takes over the app. If we don't enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later.
