END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT


LICENSE GRANT AND USAGE RIGHTS

We grant you one non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use this software on a single computer.
You may create backup copies of the software, but these copies must not be distributed, circulated, or made publicly available in any form.
If you do not agree to the terms of this license, you must uninstall and remove all copies of the software immediately.
You may install and use the software on another computer, provided that the software is not in use on more than one computer at any given time unless you purchase additional licenses.
This license is strictly non-transferable and non-resalable, except under circumstances where prior written agreement has been obtained from us.


LICENSE TYPES AND ELIGIBILITY

Free and Home Licenses are granted exclusively for personal, non-commercial use, including the creation of end products for personal use.
The Free version may be used for a limited evaluation period of one month in a testing environment by companies, after which the software must either be uninstalled or an appropriate license must be purchased.
Private individuals may continue using the Free version without a time limit.

Professional and Business licenses may be used in commercial environments, with the term "environment" referring to the intended use of the software, not its geographical location.
A licensed user is defined as an individual who has purchased the license or is employed by the entity that owns the commercial license.
The machine on which the software is activated must be owned by the license holder.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND COPYRIGHT

The software is protected by copyright laws within the European Union and other jurisdictions.
All intellectual property rights in the software are retained by us.
You may not publish, sell, market, distribute, lend, lease, rent, reverse engineer, or sublicense the software or any part of it, including the license key,
except for the libraries referenced in the OPEN SOURCE COPYRIGHT NOTICE, which follow their own independent, less restrictive licenses.


SOFTWARE ACTIVATION AND USAGE

Activation is the process of unlocking premium features using a purchased license code.
While an online connection is recommended for a quick and easy activation process, it is also possible to activate the software manually via email.
The license is tied to a specific machine upon activation and can be reactivated up to five times if the hardware changes.
Beyond this limit, activation will require email verification or a reset at our discretion.

For Business licenses, the software is portable and may be used on up to 10 machines by a single licensed user at any given time.

The software can function and be upgraded offline, without the need for reactivation unless certain hardware was changed.
The license activation is preserved over the host OS reinstallations, if the accompanying original activated license file was backed up and certain hardware did not change.


WAIVER OF RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL (Applicable to EU Consumers)

By purchasing and activating the software, you expressly consent to the immediate performance of this contract and acknowledge that you lose your right to withdraw from the contract once the activation has begun.

In compliance with the European Union Consumer Rights Directive (Directive 2011/83/EU), we inform you that:

- Digital Content: This software constitutes digital content not supplied on a tangible medium.

- Right of Withdrawal: You acknowledge and agree that by initiating the activation of this software, you waive your statutory right of withdrawal as provided under the Directive.

- Refund Policy: Refunds may still be available under the specific conditions outlined in the "LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY" section of this agreement.

By agreeing to these terms, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to waive your right of withdrawal.


PREMIUM FEATURES AND SUBSCRIPTION

The license includes one year of access to all existing premium features, as well as any new premium features released during that period, without affecting the perpetual nature of the license.
After this one-year period, only new premium features introduced after the expiration date will be locked until the license is renewed.
Renewals of the premium feature subscription are available at a discounted rate.


LIMITED WARRANTY AND SUPPORT

We warrant that the software will perform substantially as described in the product documentation available on our website at the time of purchase.

We will support compatible Windows versions to the best of our abilities at least until the end of their 'Mainstream support' lifecycle.
More info here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/lifecycle
Windows "Moments" are also considered separate versions, introduced after Windows 11 22H2.

Should Microsoft alter how a supported Windows version operates, potentially disabling certain features of this software, we reserve the right to modify or remove the affected features.

We have taken reasonable precautions to ensure that the software is free from viruses, spyware, "back door" entrances, or any other harmful code.
The software will not collect any personal data or monitor your use of the software beyond the necessary license activation, except as explicitly authorized by you.
The software will not download any third-party software without your consent.
Auto-updating is set by default on tool startup, can be disabled in settings.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
We do not warrant that the software or your use of it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

If development of the software ceases, all existing customers will be provided with a less restrictive version, allowing continued use without limitations on activation counts.


LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all liability for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising under this agreement, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.

Your exclusive remedy under this limited warranty is, at our discretion, either a full refund of the purchase price or the correction of any defective software, provided that the issue is reported within one month of purchase and cannot be resolved within one week.

Refunds are not available for just trying the software, as a free version is provided for evaluation purposes.
Unused, non-activated licenses are eligible for a refund within two months of purchase.


GENERAL TERMS

If any part of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
This agreement operates within the framework of applicable statutory rights and does not override them. Where the law permits, certain rights, such as the right of withdrawal, may be waived as outlined in this agreement.

This agreement represents the entire understanding between you and us regarding the use of the software.
Any amendments or modifications to this agreement must be made in writing and signed by both parties.

This agreement takes effect upon installation of the software.
