Schimke Studios Plugin License

Plugin: the Schimke Studios plugin you purchased from schimkestudios.com, which this license comes with (the “plugin”). Its name and version are shown in the plugin’s manifest.json, in Obsidian under Settings → Community plugins, and on your order. If you bought a bundle, this license applies to each plugin in it separately.
License type: Personal license, unless your order or invoice says Team license (see section 2A)
Licensor: David Schimke, doing business as Schimke Studios (“Schimke Studios”, “we”)
Version of this license: 1.2 (effective October 7, 2026)

By downloading, installing, or using this plugin, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t install or use it. See section 5 for refunds.

1. What you’re buying

You are buying a license to use the plugin, not ownership of it. Schimke Studios keeps all rights, title, and copyright in the plugin, its code, its documentation, and its artwork.

2. What you may do (Personal license)

Install and use the plugin yourself, for personal or work purposes (including paid and client work you do as an individual), in any number of your own Obsidian vaults, on devices you personally own or control. If a company buys a Personal license, it must be for one named person; other people at the company need their own licenses or a Team license.
Make backup copies for your own use.
Change the plugin’s files for your own private use, at your own risk.

2A. Team license

If your order or invoice says Team license, these terms apply in place of the first bullet of section 2. Everything else in this license applies to a Team license too, and “you” means the Licensee and each person using one of its seats.
– The organization named on the order or invoice (the “Licensee”) may let up to 5 people, who are its employees or contractors, install and use the plugin for the Licensee’s work, in any number of vaults and on any devices they use for that work. Shared team vaults are allowed as long as everyone using the plugin in them holds one of those seats.
– Seats can be reassigned to someone else at the same organization when a person leaves or no longer needs the plugin.
– The Licensee may make backup copies and change the plugin’s files for its own internal use, at its own risk.
– A Team license covers one organization only. For more than 5 people, email support@schimkestudios.com for a quote.
– Seats are counted on trust. There are no license keys or activation.

3. What you may not do

Share, upload, post, resell, rent, sublicense, or give away the plugin or its files, whether modified or not, including in public or shared vaults, repositories, forums, or file-sharing sites. Private backups, syncing your own vaults between your own devices (for example Obsidian Sync, iCloud, or a private Git repository), and, under a Team license, the shared team vaults allowed in section 2A are fine.
Remove or change this license or any copyright notice.
Publish the plugin, or a substantially similar plugin based on our code, as your own product, free or paid.
Use one Personal license for a team or organization. Each person who uses the plugin needs their own license, unless you’ve bought a Team license.
Use a Team license for more people than its seat count, or for a different organization. Each additional organization needs its own license.

4. Updates

Your purchase includes updates within the same major version (for example 1.x), delivered as downloads from your Schimke Studios account. This applies to Personal and Team licenses alike. Plugins are installed manually and don’t update themselves.

A “major version” is a release where the first number changes (for example 1.x to 2.0). Bug fixes and updates to keep the plugin working with new Obsidian releases stay within the current major version. We won’t start a new major version just to end updates; new major versions are for substantial new features or a rewrite.

New major versions may be sold separately; Schimke Studios may choose to include one at no charge, but isn’t required to. You may keep using, and re-download, the version you bought even after a newer major version is released.

Downloads. There’s no limit on how many times you can download your purchase, and your downloads don’t expire while the product is still sold. You can re-download from your Schimke Studios account whenever you like.

4A. If we stop working on a plugin

If we stop updating or selling a plugin, your license doesn’t end. You can keep using the last version you received. We’ll keep your download available for at least 12 months after we announce the change. We can’t promise the plugin will keep working with future Obsidian versions.

5. Refunds

Refunds are handled only under the Schimke Studios Refund Policy in effect when you bought, at https://schimkestudios.com/refund-policy/. This license doesn’t add to or change that policy. If your purchase is refunded, this license ends and you must delete the plugin.

6. Third-party components and tools

Some plugins include open-source libraries (for example three.js or Apache ECharts). Those libraries stay under their own licenses, which are listed in the THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file included with the plugin where applicable. This license covers only Schimke Studios’ own work.

Third-party tools and content. Some plugins work with separate tools you install yourself (for example, yt-dlp and ffmpeg for Media Link Downloader). Those tools aren’t part of this license and are under their own licenses. Media Link Downloader is for saving content that is legally accessible to you and that you own or have permission or another legal right to save. You agree to follow copyright law and the terms of any site you use it with. You agree not to use it to get around DRM, paywalls, or other access controls, or to download content you don’t have the right to save. Schimke Studios doesn’t authorize or endorse downloading from any particular site, isn’t affiliated with any site the plugin works with, and isn’t responsible for how you use the plugin or the files you save.

Experimental features. Some features are marked “Experimental” in the plugin or on the product page (for example, YouTube support in Media Link Downloader). Experimental features are provided as-is, may not work, and may change, stop working, or be removed at any time, including in a minor update. Use them only for content you own or have permission to save (for YouTube support, videos from your own channel). Experimental features aren’t part of what the product is described as doing, so an experimental feature not working isn’t, on its own, a reason for a refund. Refunds are handled under the Refund Policy (section 5).

7. No warranty

The plugin is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Some places don’t allow these exclusions, so they may not fully apply to you. Obsidian is a separate product made by a separate company. Schimke Studios isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Obsidian (Dynalist Inc.), and Obsidian updates may change how the plugin behaves. Back up your vault. Some plugins write to your notes’ properties.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Schimke Studios isn’t liable for any lost data, lost profits, or indirect, incidental, or consequential damages from using or being unable to use the plugin. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the plugin. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

9. Ending this license

This license ends automatically if you break these terms, or if your purchase is refunded or charged back. When it ends, you must stop using and delete the plugin and all copies.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, USA. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Wisconsin, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.

12. How this fits with our Terms

This license and our Terms at https://schimkestudios.com/terms/ are the whole agreement for this plugin. If they conflict, this license controls for the plugin. Any license beyond this one (for example, a Team license for more than 5 people) must be agreed with us in writing.
