Mixel Terms of Service

Effective: 13 November 2026 · Version 1

Thanks for using Mixel. These terms are the agreement between you and us. We’ve kept them as plain as we can. Where the law needs precise words, we’ve used them.

The short version

This summary helps you read the terms. It isn’t legal advice, and the full terms below are what apply.

  • Your sounds are yours. Mixel works on your own folders, on your own Mac. We don’t claim anything you make or own.
  • Mixel is our software, licensed to you under these terms. Our official store apps are open source, under their own licences.
  • Everything on your Mac is free. You pay only for things we run for you.
  • If you’re a consumer, the law protects you, and nothing here takes those protections away.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

Mixel is a product of 0x1audio. “We” and “us” means Gabriele Pio Midulla, a sole trader trading as 0x1audio, Italy, Partita IVA 07440110828, email support@0x1audio.com.

These terms cover:

  • the Mixel app for Mac, as we distribute it
  • your Mixel account and the Mixel cloud we run
  • the store: browsing, installing and publishing apps
  • Mixel Plus and the Mixel Supporter (and the founding price, before Plus goes on sale)
  • our websites, including 0x1audio.com

How we handle personal data is in our Privacy policy. Apps by other developers come with their own licences (section 6).

When these terms apply. You agree to them in Mixel right after you make your account (we ask once). Until you agree, you can still sign out, export your data and delete your account. You can use the app’s features on your Mac without an account; then only sections 2, 4, 9, 11 and 13 apply to you.

2. Mixel’s software, these terms, and our name

Mixel is ours. The Mixel app, the Mixel cloud and their code belong to us or to our licensors, and they aren’t open source. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the Mixel app on Macs you own or control, for as long as you follow these terms. The licence is free. You may not copy, sell, rent or distribute the app, or modify, decompile or reverse-engineer it, except where the law lets you (for example, to make it work with other software: Italian Copyright Law, Art. 64-ter and 64-quater).

Code published earlier. Earlier versions of Mixel’s code were published under open-source licences. Nothing in these terms takes away the rights those licences give you over code you received under them.

Open-source components. The app includes open-source components made by others, each under its own licence; their notices are in the app’s acknowledgements. Those licences apply to those components, and nothing in these terms limits what they let you do with them. Our official store apps are open source: each app’s repository states its licence.

These terms cover the Mixel app and the service we run: your account, our hosted cloud, our store, our model downloads, and our support.

The sound models that Mixel downloads come with their own licences, included next to the files.

Our name is separate. “Mixel”, “0x1audio”, our logos and the “Reviewed by Mixel” label are our trademarks, and no licence covers them. Please don’t use them in a way that suggests we made, reviewed or endorse something we didn’t. You can refer to Mixel truthfully, for example “works with Mixel”. Our trademark policy says what’s fine.

3. Your account

  • Age. You must be at least 14, or older if the law where you live says so.
  • Be accurate. Use an email address you control. We use it for important notices.
  • Keep it safe. Use a strong password or a passkey. Tell us at security@0x1audio.com if you think someone else got in.
  • One person per account. Don’t share it or sell it.
  • You can leave whenever you want. Account › Delete account removes it. The privacy policy says exactly what happens.

4. Your sounds and your content

  • What’s yours stays yours. Your sounds, recordings, tags, notes, crates, projects and apps belong to you, or to whoever licensed them to you. We don’t claim any rights in them.
  • Local stays local. Your Library and search work on your Mac. We never receive your audio, including anything you record in Mixel.
  • We don’t train AI models on your content, and we don’t look at it unless you ask us to (for example in a support request) or the law requires it.
  • You’re responsible for having the rights to what you use and share, including the licences for samples.
  • Keep your own backups of your sounds. Mixel indexes your files where they are and never moves them, and apps change files only with your permission. Still, things can go wrong on any computer. Keep copies of what matters, for example with Time Machine.

5. Fair use

Please don’t use Mixel to:

  • break the law, or infringe anyone’s rights, including copyright
  • upload or publish malware, or anything designed to harm people, their computers or their data
  • get into accounts, systems or data that aren’t yours, or get around permissions, review or pinned installs
  • overload or disrupt the service, or scrape it in ways that harm it
  • abuse, harass or deceive other people, or pretend to be someone else, including us or our reviewers
  • inflate install counts or game the store
  • resell our hosted service, or use our name in ways the trademark policy doesn’t allow

Found a security problem? Please tell us at security@0x1audio.com before telling anyone else, and give us a fair chance to fix it. Good-faith security research that follows our security policy doesn’t break these terms, and we won’t take action against it.

6. The store

What the store is. A catalogue of small apps that run on your Mac. A person reviews each app before it’s listed. Each app must declare the permissions it needs (your files, your Library, the internet), and you choose whether to grant them. You install the exact version a reviewer read.

Who makes the apps. Official apps are made by us, are open source and install from GitHub. Other apps are made by independent developers. Each app comes with its developer’s licence, and the developer is responsible for their app.

What review means. Review lowers the risk a lot, but it can’t remove it. We check apps carefully against our rules (section 7). We can’t promise any app is free of every bug.

How the store orders apps. Our official apps come first, then apps our reviewers feature, then sponsored apps, then the rest in alphabetical order. Sponsored apps are marked “Sponsored”. Whether an app is featured or sponsored never changes its review.

Removing apps from the store. We can remove or hide an app, for example if it breaks our rules, the law or someone’s rights, or puts people at risk. Apps you’ve already installed keep working, unless we find a serious security risk. Then we may tell the app on your Mac to stop running it, and we’ll explain why.

Reporting an app. If you think an app or a listing is illegal, harmful or breaks these terms, use Report this app on its listing, or write to support@0x1audio.com (or security@0x1audio.com for security problems). Tell us which app, what’s wrong and why, your name and email address, and that you believe your report is accurate and complete. We confirm we received it, look at it carefully and without undue delay, and tell you what we decided and how you can challenge it, including in court. If a report suggests a crime that threatens someone’s life or safety, we tell the authorities. This address is also our single point of contact for authorities and users under the EU Digital Services Act. We work in English and Italian.

7. Publishing apps (for developers)

Who can publish

You need a Mixel account and a GitHub account linked to it. Your app’s code lives in your own GitHub repository.

What you give us

When you submit an app, you let us, worldwide and free of charge:

  • read and run your code to review it
  • list it: show its name, descriptions, tags, icon, version, your GitHub username and repository
  • distribute the exact commit we reviewed to people who install it, and keep that commit available to people who already installed it

This permission lasts while your app is listed, and for installs made before you withdraw it. Your app’s own licence must allow this, and must allow people to use the app.

Your promises

  • You have the right to publish the code and everything in it (sounds, models, images, names).
  • No malware, no hidden behaviour, and nothing that harms people, their computers or their data.
  • Declare permissions honestly, and ask only for what the app needs. The app does what its listing says, and nothing it doesn’t say.
  • Respect people’s data. If your app sends any personal data off the user’s computer, you’re responsible for it under the law (including the GDPR), you say so in the listing, and you have a privacy policy.
  • No illegal content, and nothing that infringes trademarks or copyright. Don’t use “Mixel” or “Reviewed by Mixel” except as the trademark policy allows.
  • Don’t change what the app does after review without submitting it again. Installs are pinned to the reviewed commit; don’t try to get around that.

How review works

  • A person reviews every submission against our published rules, helped by automated checks.
  • We tell you our decision. When we reject or remove something, we tell you why and which rule applies.
  • Paying us never changes the outcome or the care of a review.
  • Disagree? Reply to the decision or write to support@0x1audio.com. Someone will look at it again and tell you the result. You can also go to court.

Removal

We can remove or stop listing your app if it breaks these terms, the law or someone’s rights, or puts people at risk. We’ll normally tell you first and give you a chance to fix it. If there’s an urgent security risk, we may act first and explain straight after. You can withdraw your app at any time; installs already made keep working.

Money

Publishing is free. Paid apps aren’t supported. If that changes, there will be separate terms.

If you publish as a business

If you publish as part of your trade or profession, the consumer protections in these terms don’t apply to you, and section 11.3 applies instead.

8. Mixel Plus and the Supporter

8.1 Before Plus goes on sale

Mixel Plus isn’t on sale yet, and nothing is sold. When it is, Plus will be €12 a month or €120 a year (in US dollars, $12 or $120 plus tax where it applies).

The founding price. Every account made before the founding cutoff, midnight at the end of 20 November 2026, Italian time, gets Plus for €8 a month or €80 a year ($8 or $80 plus tax) whenever it starts Plus, for as long as it stays on Plus. That includes accounts made during the beta.

  • What you need to do: only make a free account before the cutoff. There’s nothing to buy or reserve and no card to give, and no deadline to start Plus later. Account › Plan shows your founding price.
  • How long it lasts: for as long as you stay on Plus. If your Plus subscription ends, the founding price ends with it, unless it ended because you withdrew within 14 days.
  • It belongs to your account. It can’t be moved to another account, and it ends if you delete yours. One account per person (section 3).
  • The cutoff is fixed. If it ever moved, the new date would apply to everyone and replace the old one everywhere.

9. Free features

Everything that runs on your Mac is free, and stays free: the Library, search in words, Find similar, every store app, model downloads, exporting your data, and publishing apps.

10. Availability and changes

  • We work hard to keep the cloud running, but we can’t promise it will always be available. It may be down for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control. The app’s features on your Mac keep working offline.
  • Mixel will change. We add, improve and sometimes remove features.
  • If we ever shut down the cloud, we’ll give you at least 90 days’ notice, and make sure you can export your data. The app on your Mac keeps working.

11. Responsibility

11.1 If you’re a consumer

  • We’re responsible for the service as the law says, including the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services (Italian Consumer Code, Art. 135-octies and following) and our duties under the GDPR.
  • Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn’t allow to be limited, including for wilful misconduct or gross negligence (Italian Civil Code, Art. 1229), or for death or personal injury.
  • For a breach of these terms, we’re responsible only for damage that was foreseeable when you agreed to them and that we caused (Italian Civil Code, Art. 1225), unless the breach was wilful.
  • Apps by other developers are their developers’ responsibility. We’re responsible for reviewing them with care and for acting on reports.

11.2 Open-source components

Open-source components in the app, and our open-source store apps, come with their own licences, which may include their own disclaimer of warranties. Those disclaimers are about that code, not about the app and the service we provide to you, and they don’t reduce your rights as a consumer.

11.3 If you use Mixel as a business (including publishing apps in the course of a trade)

To the extent the law allows:

  • the service is provided “as is” and “as available”
  • we’re not liable for indirect loss, lost profits or lost data
  • our total liability to you for all claims is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or €100 if that’s more

This doesn’t limit liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence (Italian Civil Code, Art. 1229).

12. Suspending or ending an account

  • You can stop using Mixel and delete your account at any time.
  • We may suspend or close an account, or remove content, if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms or the law, or to protect people from serious harm. We’ll act in proportion to what happened, tell you why (unless the law stops us), and give you a way to disagree.
  • When an account is closed, you can still export your data first, unless the law prevents it.

13. Law and disputes

  • These terms are governed by Italian law.
  • If you’re a consumer living in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live (Rome I Regulation, Art. 6(2)).
  • Courts. If you’re a consumer, you can bring a claim in the courts where you live, and we can only bring a claim against you there (Italian Consumer Code, Art. 66-bis; Brussels I bis Regulation, Art. 17 and 18). If you use Mixel as a business, the courts of the place in Italy where our business is established have exclusive jurisdiction.
  • Talk to us first. Most problems are solved quickly by writing to support@0x1audio.com.
  • Out-of-court resolution. We haven’t committed to a particular alternative dispute resolution body. If we can’t solve a complaint together, we’ll tell you which bodies are competent and whether we’ll take part. You can find them on the European Commission’s list of dispute resolution bodies.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms only for these reasons: a change in the law or in a court’s or authority’s decision; security; new features or changes to how the service works; a change in who runs Mixel (section 15); or to make them clearer. If a change matters to you, we’ll tell you by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, and ask you in Mixel to agree to the new terms. If you don’t agree, you can stop using the service and delete your account before the change applies. Small changes (fixing typos, clarifying wording) take effect when we publish them.

15. The rest

  • These terms and what you agreed to at checkout are our agreement about the service. The privacy policy explains how we handle your data; it isn’t part of the contract. Nothing here limits what we told you before you bought.
  • If part of these terms isn’t valid, the rest still applies.
  • We may transfer this agreement to a company that takes over Mixel (for example an Italian company set up by the founder). Your rights won’t be reduced, and we’ll tell you first. You may transfer your rights only with our agreement.
  • If we don’t enforce something straight away, we can still enforce it later.
  • Language. These terms are in English.
