Terms of Use
Last updated September 23, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your use of ConvertIt, a menu bar application for Apple platforms developed by Sam Parker ("Licensor"). By installing or using ConvertIt, you agree to these Terms. If you obtained ConvertIt from the Mac App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies and controls where it conflicts with these Terms regarding that distribution.

01
License Grant
Subject to these Terms, Sam Parker ("Licensor") grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use ConvertIt ("Software") on devices you own or control that run a supported version of macOS, for personal or internal business use.
02
Ownership
ConvertIt, including its user interface, original code, and branding, is owned by Sam Parker and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. This license does not transfer ownership of ConvertIt to you.
ConvertIt includes or interacts with third-party software that is not owned by Licensor and is licensed under separate terms, including FFmpeg (see "FFmpeg" below). Your use of those components is governed by their respective licenses. Licensor does not claim copyright in FFmpeg or other third-party open-source components included with or used by the Software.
03
FFmpeg (LGPLv2.1)
ConvertIt uses code of the FFmpeg project. FFmpeg is copyright its respective authors and is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 ("LGPLv2.1"). Licensor does not own FFmpeg.
ConvertIt invokes FFmpeg as a separate command-line program for certain media
conversions. It does not link FFmpeg libraries into the ConvertIt application
binary. The FFmpeg binary included with ConvertIt is built without the GPL-only
configuration options (--enable-gpl) and without non-free options
(--enable-nonfree), as described in the corresponding source package.
Corresponding source code for the FFmpeg binary distributed with ConvertIt, including build instructions and any modifications, is available at convertitapp.com/legal/ffmpeg-source.
The full text of the LGPLv2.1 is available at convertitapp.com/legal/lgpl-2.1 and on gnu.org. The FFmpeg project home page is ffmpeg.org.
If you receive ConvertIt only as object code, you may obtain the complete corresponding source code for the FFmpeg component from the URL above, or by contacting help@convertitapp.com. You may modify and redistribute FFmpeg under the terms of the LGPLv2.1; ConvertIt's own code remains subject to this Agreement.
04
Other Third-Party Services
Currency conversion features may retrieve exchange rates from the Frankfurter service, which publishes European Central Bank reference data. That service is operated by third parties and is not controlled by Licensor. No account credentials or personal identifiers are required for rate lookup.
05
Reverse Engineering
Except where prohibited by applicable law, you may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble ConvertIt's proprietary application code except to the extent such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law.
Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under the LGPLv2.1 with respect to FFmpeg, including the right to reverse engineer FFmpeg to the extent required to debug modifications or to comply with the LGPL. For FFmpeg source code and license terms, see the "FFmpeg" section above.
06
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FFMPEG AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS ARE PROVIDED UNDER THEIR OWN LICENSES AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES FROM LICENSOR BEYOND WHAT THOSE LICENSES REQUIRE.
07
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. LICENSOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID LICENSOR FOR CONVERTIT IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (OR ZERO IF CONVERTIT WAS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, the limits above apply only to the extent permitted by law.
08
Mac App Store
If you download ConvertIt from the Mac App Store, Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your licensed use of ConvertIt obtained through Apple, and may enforce those provisions against you. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for ConvertIt. In the event of any failure of ConvertIt to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple for a refund of the purchase price (if any), and to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to ConvertIt.
ConvertIt may also be distributed as a direct download from convertitapp.com. These Terms apply to both channels unless a storefront's own terms expressly control.
09
Changes to These Terms
Licensor may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change when that happens. Continued use of ConvertIt after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using ConvertIt and uninstall it.
10
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes lie in the state or federal courts located in the United States, except where prohibited by applicable consumer-protection law. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
