Terms of service

Last updated: 8 October 2026

The short version: Acrux is free to use, and Acrux Studio Pro is an optional subscription that adds more. Pro renews until you cancel, and you can cancel any time from the app. Everything is offered in good faith and provided as is. Use it lawfully, respect the platforms you connect to, and understand that we cannot promise it will be perfect or uninterrupted.

These terms ("Terms") govern your use of the Acrux Studio desktop application ("Acrux", "we", "us") and this website (acruxapp.stream). By downloading, installing, or using Acrux, or by using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them.

1. The Acrux app

Acrux Studio is a desktop application for streaming and recording. It is free to use, and some features need an Acrux Studio Pro subscription (section 2). We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use it on your own devices. If you obtained Acrux from the Microsoft Store, Microsoft's Standard Application Licence Terms also apply to that download. You may not resell or redistribute the app, or reverse engineer or try to extract its source, except where the law expressly allows it.

2. Acrux Studio Pro

Acrux Studio Pro is an optional paid plan that unlocks the features marked PRO in the app. You need an Acrux account (section 3) to buy and use it.

Billing. Payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy, which sells Pro to you as the merchant of record and charges the price shown at checkout, plus any tax that applies where you live. Lemon Squeezy's own buyer terms also apply to the purchase.
Renewal. Pro is a subscription, monthly or yearly. It renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. We do not sell lifetime licences.
Cancelling. You can cancel any time from the Account card in Settings. Pro stays on until the end of the period you have already paid for, and does not renew after that. You can resume a cancelled plan before that period ends.
Refunds. If Pro isn't right for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund, no questions asked. For anything else, such as a renewal you forgot to cancel, email us and we'll look at it case by case. Your rights under consumer law where you live are not affected.
Founding price. The first 50 people to buy Pro pay a reduced founding price. It stays at that price for as long as the subscription keeps renewing. If you cancel and let it end, a new subscription is at the price shown at that time.
Price changes. The price of Pro can change. A founding price is never raised.
When Pro ends. If a subscription ends or a payment fails, Pro features lock again. Your recordings, clips, scenes and settings stay yours and stay on your PC.

3. Your Acrux account

Signing in to Acrux with Google is optional, and everything that does not need Pro or backups works without it. If you sign in, keep your Google account secure, because it is how we know the account is yours. You can sign out, and you can delete your Acrux account and the backups kept with it, from the Account card in Settings. An account with Pro still running cannot be deleted, so cancel Pro first and delete the account once it has ended. How we handle account data is set out in our Privacy policy.

4. Acceptable use

When using Acrux or this site, you agree not to:

use them for anything unlawful, or to infringe anyone else's rights,
interfere with, disrupt, or overload the software or the site,
attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system or account,
misrepresent the app as your own or remove its identifying marks.

You are responsible for the content you capture, stream, and record with Acrux.

5. Streaming and connected accounts

Acrux lets you connect accounts on platforms such as Twitch, Kick, and YouTube and broadcast to them. You are responsible for following each platform's own rules and terms, and for the content you send to them. We are not responsible for what happens on those platforms, or for any action a platform takes on your account.

6. Third-party services

Acrux and this site rely on third parties, for example the streaming platforms you connect, Google for sign-in, Lemon Squeezy for Pro payments, Microsoft for Store distribution, and Cloudflare for hosting. Your use of those services is governed by their terms, not ours.

7. No warranty

Acrux and this website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. You use them at your own risk.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, recordings, streams, income, or goodwill, arising from your use of Acrux or this site. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date on this page. Continuing to use Acrux or the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

10. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with our Privacy policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding Acrux and this site.
