Prisma Terms of Service

Effective date: November 2, 2026
Last updated: October 30, 2026

These Terms are a contract between you and Chris Hamilton d/b/a Prisma, a Colorado sole proprietor, Colorado Springs, CO, USA. By using the Services, buying a license or installing the Software, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy and our Refund Policy. If you use the Services for a company or studio, you confirm that you can bind it, and "you" means that organization.

Definitions.

• "Prisma," "we" and "us" mean the seller, Chris Hamilton d/b/a Prisma.
• "Prisma Scanner" means the free web tool at prismascanner.io.
• "Prisma Hub" or "Hub" means the Prisma Hub Mac app.
• "Prisma plugins" means the Prisma Hub plugins for supported host apps (at launch: Adobe® After Effects®, Adobe® Premiere® Pro, Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe® Illustrator®, Figma, and a Google Chrome™ browser extension), plus Finder and menu bar integration on macOS. The Chrome extension is installed manually as an unpacked extension and is not available in the Chrome Web Store.
• System requirements: Prisma Hub requires macOS 12 or later on a Mac with Apple silicon.
• "Software" means Prisma Hub and the Prisma plugins.
• "Services" means the prismascanner.io website, Prisma Scanner, the Software, and any license you get for them.

1. What the Services are

Prisma Hub is a local-first file-naming and folder-structure app for Mac. In Hub you define your own naming and folder conventions, and Hub and the Prisma plugins suggest names from those rules.

• Prisma Scanner, the free web tool, checks the filenames, paths and folder trees you paste, in your browser. It flags where names break good naming practice and shows a score. The score is an informational indicator of how the names you paste compare with good naming practice. We make no guarantee about the score, and it is not professional advice. Prisma Scanner doesn't suggest names.
• Prisma Hub and the Prisma plugins suggest rule-based names for you to copy. Name suggestions and copying are free; one-click Apply rename is on the paid Creator and Studio plans.
• On the paid Prisma Hub Creator and Studio plans, one-click Apply rename renames a file when you click Apply rename. It runs only when you click it, not when a file is saved, and Hub keeps an undo history.

Prisma Hub and the Prisma plugins run on your Mac and work offline. Prisma Scanner checks the names and paths you paste, in your browser.

2. Editions and trial

• Free. Prisma Scanner, plus name suggestions and copying in Prisma Hub and the Prisma plugins, as described in Section 1. No charge.
• Prisma Hub 14-day trial of Creator features. A free, time-limited trial that you start inside Prisma Hub. It gives Creator features only. It needs no payment details and does not convert to a paid subscription; you are charged only if you choose to buy a license. After 14 days, Hub goes back to Free unless you activate a license.
• Paid Prisma Hub licenses. Creator, Studio and Founding Studio, as described on our pricing page and below.

We may change what each edition includes in future releases. We won't remove a feature you paid for during your current license term, except where needed for legal compliance, to fix a defect, or to protect users or the Services.

3. License grant

Subject to these Terms and payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to install and use Prisma Hub and the Prisma plugins during your license term, within the limits of your edition. The license is non-transferable, except for Founding Studio as described in Section 5.

Features that aren't yet released aren't promised for a license until they're released in a version your license includes.

The exact limits of your license are the ones recorded in your signed license file.

4. License files

Your Prisma Hub license comes as a signed .prisma-license file. You can activate it with the signed license file or its pasted text. Hub checks the signature on your device. Activation doesn't contact a server, and Hub doesn't check the license again later. A license lasts one year. After that, Hub goes back to Free based on your device's clock. You agree to:

• keep your license file and its text confidential and use them only within your license scope;
• not copy, share, publish or resell them;
• not modify, forge or get around license files, signatures or edition checks; and
• not use the Software with a license that has expired, been refunded or been terminated.

Because licensing is offline, a refund or chargeback doesn't deactivate the app. A license that has been refunded, charged back or terminated for breach is nevertheless no longer authorized, and your right to use it ends even if Hub still accepts the file. When your license expires, Hub goes back to Free. Your files, folders and profiles stay as they are.

5. Fees, renewal, taxes

• Prisma Hub licenses are yearly only; there is no monthly plan. A Studio or Founding Studio license covers up to 10 people at a time (freelancers included), and we don't currently sell extra seats above 10; contact hello@prismascanner.io if your studio is larger. Prices are in US dollars unless the checkout says otherwise, and are shown on the pricing page.
• Orders are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. Lemon Squeezy is the seller of record for the transaction, collects applicable sales tax/VAT, and handles billing, receipts and card processing. Its terms govern the payment itself.
• Subscriptions renew each year at the then-current renewal price until you cancel. Before a price increase affects you, we (or Lemon Squeezy) will tell you, so you have time to cancel.
• Founding Studio. Founding Studio is a Prisma Hub license with the same features as Studio and is limited to the first 50 licenses. Its price is locked at $499 per year, and it renews at that price until cancelled. If your Founding Studio subscription is cancelled or lapses, you can resubscribe at $499 per year within 3 months after the end of your last paid term, through the returning-founder link (email hello@prismascanner.io if you need it). After that, the Founding slot and price end and may be released to the pool of 50. If the license holder's business is sold (all or substantially all of it), the Founding Studio license and its $499 founding price can move to the buyer, provided the buyer accepts these Terms. To transfer it, email hello@prismascanner.io. A lapse is different from a refund: if a Founding Studio purchase is refunded, that license gives up its Founding slot (which may go back to the pool of 50) and its $499 resubscribe right. A lapse or cancellation without a refund keeps the $499 resubscribe right for those 3 months.
• You can cancel at any time using the manage-subscription link in your Lemon Squeezy receipt. Cancelling stops future renewals. Your license stays active until the end of the paid term.
• Refunds are covered in our Refund Policy.

6. Your content and your responsibility

Your files, projects, naming profiles and folder structures stay on your systems, and you keep all rights in them. Prisma Hub and the Prisma plugins work with your files on your Mac and are not designed to send your files to us. Prisma Scanner checks the text you paste, in your browser. Activating a license sends nothing to us. Our Privacy Policy describes the order and license data we do keep.

On the Prisma Hub Creator and Studio plans, Hub renames a file only when you click Apply rename. Before you confirm a rename you're responsible for reviewing it, and you're responsible for keeping backups. Hub keeps an undo history, but some changes may not be reversible, especially on network drives, through other software, or after the file has been changed elsewhere. Host apps that link to files by path may show missing media after a rename.

7. Acceptable use

You will not: reverse engineer, decompile or extract source from the Software except where the law allows it; remove notices; interfere with or overload the website or services; use the Services to break the law or infringe others' rights; scan or probe our systems; or use our copyrighted materials to build a competing product. Don't enter content into the Services that you don't have the right to use.

8. Intellectual property

We and our licensors own the Services, the Software, the brand and the documentation. No rights transfer to you except the license above. The naming profiles, conventions and structures you create belong to you. If you send us feedback, you give us a free, perpetual right to use it to improve the Services.

Adobe®, After Effects®, Adobe® Premiere® Pro, Photoshop® and Illustrator® are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Adobe in the United States and/or other countries. Figma is a trademark of Figma, Inc. Google Chrome™ is a trademark of Google LLC. Apple, Mac®, macOS® and Finder® are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. Prisma is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Adobe, Figma, Google or Apple. Host apps and their plugin platforms can change, and we don't guarantee compatibility with every version.

9. Updates

Hub doesn't install updates by itself. You decide when to check for and install them. We may release updates, fixes and new versions, and we may stop supporting old versions after giving reasonable notice.

10. Install Sprint and other services

Install Sprint and any custom or professional services are provided under the separate scope, price and schedule we agree in writing (for example in an email, quote or statement of work). If those written terms conflict with these Terms, the written terms control for that work.

11. Third-party services

The Services rely on third parties, including Framer (website), Lemon Squeezy (merchant of record), Fly.io (hosts our license server at license.prismascanner.io), Resend (sends license emails and license files), Google (including Google Sheets, where we keep an order log), and Vercel. Their services are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their acts or outages.

12. Termination

You can stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or end your access or license if you materially breach these Terms, misuse the Services, or where the law requires it. On termination, your right to use the Software under that license ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 6, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16) will survive.

13. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent the law permits, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We don't warrant that the Software will fit your workflow or work in your environment, or that the flags, scores or suggestions from Prisma Scanner or Prisma Hub are right for your pipeline. Prisma Scanner scores are informational only and are not professional advice. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law permits, Prisma and its owners, contractors and suppliers won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, files or business, arising from or related to the Services, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Services won't exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Services in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) US$100. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited, including for fraud or willful misconduct, or any non-waivable statutory consumer rights.

15. Indemnity

If you are a business, you will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your breach of these Terms or from your content, to the extent the law permits.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us by email at hello@prismascanner.io (subject line "Dispute notice") and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. A claim that isn't resolved will be brought in the state or federal courts in El Paso County, Colorado, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may still seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you're a consumer in the EEA or UK, you keep the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.

17. General

These Terms, together with the policies linked above, are the entire agreement between us on the Services. If a court finds a provision invalid, the rest stays in effect. If we don't exercise a right, that is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent, except for a Founding Studio transfer under Section 5. We may assign these Terms, and the licenses under them, to a company we form in the future to run Prisma, or in a merger, acquisition or sale of the business. We may update these Terms. For material changes, we'll post the new version, update the date and notify purchasers. If you keep using the Services after the effective date, you accept the update. If you don't agree, stop using the Services and cancel your subscription before it renews.
