4. Local-First Architecture and File Security

4.1 Non-Interference Principle

DawSync operates under a strict "Local-First" architecture. Our software:

• Does NOT modify your original DAW files (.als, .logicx, .flp, etc.)
• Does NOT move, rename, or delete projects from your hard drive
• Does NOT access files without your explicit consent or instruction
• ONLY performs read operations to generate fingerprints

4.2 Digital Fingerprint Generation

To identify your projects, DawSync generates XXHash64 digital fingerprints by reading rendered audio. This process:

• Is read-only
• Does NOT alter the integrity of your original files
• Generates an irreversible alphanumeric code (audio cannot be reconstructed)

4.3 Snapshots and Captures

The VST3 plugin and M4L device capture audio fragments during your session. These:

• Are stored in a separate folder (~/.dawsync/captures/)
• Do NOT modify your original project
• Can be deleted at any time

5. Disclaimer of Liability - Local Data

5.1 Free Plan

You acknowledge and agree that:

DawSync is NOT a backup service for hard drives or operating systems. On the Free plan, all data is stored exclusively on your local device.

DawSync is NOT responsible for data loss resulting from:

• Hardware failures (hard drive, SSD failures, etc.)
• Operating system data corruption
• Malware, viruses, or ransomware
• Accidental deletion by the user
• Natural disasters or theft

Recommendation: Maintain independent backups of your music projects.

5.2 Premium Plan

With the Premium plan, DawSync synchronizes:

• Project metadata
• Audio snapshots (per your configuration)
• Time Intelligence statistics

However, your DAW master files (.als, .logicx, .flp, samples, plugins, etc.) remain under your exclusive control. DawSync syncs references and snapshots, not complete projects.

We strongly recommend maintaining independent backups of your master files.

5.3 General Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DawSync Technologies S.L. and its affiliates shall not be liable for:

• Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages
• Loss of profits, revenue, or anticipated savings
• Loss of data, music projects, or creative work
• Business interruption
• Loss of reputation or goodwill

Maximum limit: Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the incident.
