Iconscape Terms of Use and License

Updated November 14, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Ahdaf Zaman, the developer of Iconscape ("we"). By downloading, installing, or using Iconscape, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

Your license

Iconscape is licensed, not sold. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use it on Macs you own or control, under these terms.

• Free scenes: Lagoon, Cloud Meadow, and Metro are free to use on any number of your Macs.
• Paid scenes: each purchase comes with a license key. A key works on up to 2 Macs at a time and doesn't expire.
• Every scene: the all-scenes purchase includes every paid scene available today, plus every scene added to Iconscape in the future.
• To move a key to a different Mac, deactivate it on one of your Macs first, or email us and we'll reset it.

What you may not do

• Share, sell, or publish your license key, or use it on more Macs than it allows.
• Rent, lend, resell, or redistribute Iconscape, or a modified copy of it.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, or get around its license checks, except where the law allows this despite these terms.
• Use the scenes or their artwork outside Iconscape for commercial purposes.

Ownership

Iconscape, its scenes, artwork, and code belong to us and are protected by copyright. Your desktop, files, and icons stay yours: Iconscape only reads where your icons sit (see the Privacy Policy).

Purchases and refunds

Purchases are handled by Lemon Squeezy (a Stripe company), our merchant of record. Lemon Squeezy's terms also apply to the payment itself, and they issue your receipt and license key. Prices may change, but changes never affect purchases you've already made.

Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy. If a purchase is refunded or charged back, its license key is deactivated and the scenes it unlocked lock again; your free scenes keep working.

License checks

When you activate a key, and about once a week afterwards, Iconscape checks it with Lemon Squeezy's license service. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what is sent.

Updates

Updates to Iconscape are free. They may add, change, or remove features. We aren't obliged to provide updates or support, but we aim to.

Third-party material

Iconscape includes the Sparkle update framework (MIT License) and, in the Map theme, Natural Earth map data, which is in the public domain.

Disclaimer

Iconscape is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including that it will be error-free or uninterrupted, or fit for a particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of Iconscape, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for it. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you, and nothing here affects rights you have under consumer law.

Ending this license

You can stop using Iconscape at any time by deleting it. If you break these terms, your license ends and you must stop using the app.

Changes

If these terms change, the updated version will be posted on the Iconscape website with a new effective date. Continuing to use Iconscape after that means you accept the new terms.
