Effective date: July 13, 2026
This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and Grayson Kilmer, an individual (“Licensor,” “I,” “me,” or “my”), for the desktop software applications Kit Maker and Preset Maker, including any associated files, updates, and documentation (each, and together, the “Software”).
This one Agreement covers both applications. Where a term refers to “the Software,” it means whichever application you have downloaded, installed, or purchased.
By downloading, installing, activating, or using the Software, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the Software.
1. License grant
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, I grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Software on devices that you own or control, for the purpose of organizing audio samples and creating drum kits, presets, and related files.
This license permits use for both personal and commercial music production.
2. Your content is yours
Any kits, presets, sample arrangements, exported files, or other output you create using the Software are yours. This Agreement claims no ownership of, and no license to, the content you produce with the Software or the audio samples you supply to it. You are responsible for holding the necessary rights to any samples or material you process with the Software.
The license in Section 1 governs your use of the Software itself — not the files you make with it.
3. Restrictions
You may not, and may not permit any third party to:
- copy, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise transfer the Software or your license to it, except as expressly permitted here;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
- modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
- remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the Software;
- circumvent, disable, or interfere with the Software’s license validation, activation, or other security or licensing measures; or
- use the Software in any unlawful manner or in violation of this Agreement.
4. License keys and activation
The Software requires a valid license key and may validate that key over the internet. To enforce the license, the Software may associate your license with the specific device(s) on which it is activated (for example, using a hardware identifier). You are responsible for keeping your license key confidential. I may limit the number of devices on which a single license may be active.
Because your license is validated online, the Software must be able to connect to the licensing server periodically to remain active. It can be used offline for a limited time, after which it will ask you to reconnect once to re-validate your license before you continue using it.
5. Ownership and intellectual property
The Software is licensed, not sold. I retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to you except as expressly stated in this Agreement.
Kit Maker™ and Kit Maker 3™ are trademarks of Grayson Kilmer. “Preset Maker” is a product name of Grayson Kilmer. All other product names, logos, and brands referenced by the Software or its documentation (including the names of digital audio workstations and hardware such as Ableton, Native Instruments Maschine, Akai MPC, FL Studio / Image-Line, Bitwig, Serato, Teenage Engineering OP-1, Synthstrom Deluge, and others) are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and compatibility purposes only. The Software and I are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of those companies.
6. Third-party and open-source components
The Software includes third-party open-source components (including Electron, Chromium, and Node.js), each provided under its own license — principally the MIT, BSD, ISC, and Apache 2.0 licenses. Those licenses apply to their respective components and, where required, grant you rights that supersede this Agreement for those components only. The applicable copyright and license notices are included with the installed Software.
7. Updates
I may, but am not obligated to, provide updates, bug fixes, or new versions of the Software. Any update is governed by this Agreement unless it is accompanied by a separate license, in which case that license applies. I may modify or discontinue the Software, or any feature of it, at any time.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Software is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
I do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; that it will be compatible with any particular digital audio workstation, hardware device, operating system, or file format; or that any defects will be corrected. You use the Software at your own risk, and you are responsible for maintaining backups of your samples, projects, and other files.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will I be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, projects, sample libraries, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the Software or this Agreement, even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the theory of liability.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, my total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to the Software or this Agreement will not exceed the amount you actually paid for the Software.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages, so some of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. In that case, my liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10. Support
Technical support, if any, is provided at my sole discretion. This Agreement does not entitle you to any specific level of support, response time, or maintenance.
11. Refunds
Refunds are handled in accordance with the Kit Maker refund policy, available at https://www.kit-maker.com/refund-policy/, which applies to both Kit Maker and Preset Maker. Purchases made through a third-party storefront may also be subject to that storefront’s own refund terms.
12. Privacy and data
The Software is designed to run locally on your device and does not require an account to operate. It connects to the internet only for limited purposes, including validating your license key and checking for updates. Your license key and a related activation identifier are stored in encrypted form on your device. The Software does not sell your data. Any personal data handled in connection with a purchase or license is described in the privacy policy at https://www.kit-maker.com/privacy-policy-4/.
13. Term and termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. I may also terminate or suspend your license if you violate this Agreement. Upon termination, you must stop using the Software and remove all copies of it from your devices. Sections 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 14, and 15 survive termination.
14. Governing law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in New Mexico will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. This Section does not deprive you of any protection provided by mandatory consumer-protection laws of your place of residence.
15. General
This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and me regarding the Software and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. My failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this Agreement without my prior written consent; I may assign it in connection with a transfer of the Software or my business.
16. Changes to this Agreement
I may update this Agreement from time to time. The “Effective date” above indicates when it was last revised. Your continued use of the Software after a change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Agreement.
