Terms of Service
Last updated 24 August 2026
In short: you are buying a permanent license to use ScreenCursor on up to three of your own computers, for personal or commercial work. You may not resell it or share your license key. Your videos are yours, entirely.
Who you are dealing with
ScreenCursor (“we”, “us”) makes and operates the ScreenCursor Chrome extension and this website, which is what these terms cover. You can reach us at support@screencursor.com, and we answer.
Payment is taken by Polar, who are the merchant of record. For anything about the transaction itself, their terms apply alongside these.
What you are buying
A license to use the software, not ownership of it. We keep the copyright and every other right that is not written here.
The license is:
- Permanent. One payment. It does not expire and there is no renewal.
- For one person. You, and up to three computers you personally use.
- Valid for commercial work. Videos you make with it can be used for your business, your clients, marketing, courses, anything. We claim nothing over them.
- Updated. Updates to ScreenCursor are included for as long as we publish them.
If you need it for a team, more than three machines, or to install across an organisation, write to us. That is a different arrangement and we would rather agree it than have you guess.
What you may not do
- Share, publish, sell or give away your license key
- Resell, sublicense or redistribute the software itself
- Work around the licensing, or help others to
- Claim you made it, or pass it off as your own product
Ordinary things are fine: taking it apart to see how it works, writing about it, comparing it to something else, telling people it is bad.
Your recordings
Everything you record, edit and export is yours. It never reaches us, because there is nowhere for it to go: recording, zoom calculation, editing and export all run inside your own browser. We could not see your videos if we wanted to. The privacy policy sets out exactly what does and does not leave your machine.
The license check
The extension confirms your license key with Polar when you first activate it, and occasionally afterwards, at most once a fortnight. If it cannot reach Polar it keeps working, so the software does not stop because your internet did.
A license stops working if the purchase is refunded or reversed. That is the only circumstance in which we would end a license without writing to you first, and it is a consequence of the money going back, not a penalty.
Refunds
Polar handles refunds as merchant of record. The refunds page explains how to ask and what to expect. If you are a consumer in the UK or EU, you have statutory rights over digital purchases that nothing on this page limits.
What we do not promise
ScreenCursor is provided as it is. We have tested it and we use it ourselves, but we cannot promise it will suit every purpose, run identically on every machine, or never have a bug. Recording performance in particular depends on your own hardware.
Keep your own copies of anything that matters. The extension holds one recording at a time, in your browser’s storage, and clearing that storage removes it. Export what you need.
Liability
If something goes wrong and we are responsible, what you can recover from us is limited to what you paid for the license. We are not liable for lost recordings, lost work, lost income or other indirect losses.
Nothing here excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including for death, personal injury, or fraud.
Changes
We may change these terms as the product changes. The date at the top says when they last moved. Changes are not retroactive: the terms you bought under are the ones that govern your purchase, and a later edit cannot take away a license you already hold.
If something goes wrong
Write to us first. Almost everything that looks like a dispute is a misunderstanding, a bug, or a refund, and all three are quicker to settle by email than any other way.
If you are a consumer, the law of the country you live in applies to your purchase and gives you rights that nothing on this page limits. Where the transaction itself is concerned, Polar is the seller of record and their terms govern it.
Contact
Questions about any of this go to support@screencursor.com. We would rather answer before you buy than argue afterwards.
