• "User Content" means any data, files, text, images, or other content you create, upload, submit, or transmit through the Services, other than personal information governed exclusively by the Privacy Policy.

2. Our Services

We design, develop, and publish software Products for mobile, desktop, web, and other platforms. We also operate the Website as an informational and commercial channel for the Services.

The specific features and functionality of each Product are described in the applicable product documentation, App Store listing, or product page on the Website. These Terms govern your use of all Products and the Website collectively, unless a specific Product is accompanied by a separate end-user licence agreement ("EULA"), in which case that EULA supplements and, in case of conflict with respect to that Product, supersedes these Terms.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and at any time, to:

• Modify, update, add to, or remove features or functionality of any Product or the Website.
• Temporarily or permanently suspend or discontinue any Product or the Website, in whole or in part, with or without prior notice.
• Introduce new Products, pricing tiers, or licence models.

We will make reasonable commercial efforts to provide advance notice of material discontinuations of Products to active paid subscribers. Except as required by applicable consumer protection law, we are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.

3. Eligibility and Capacity

To use the Services you must:

• Be at least 13 years of age, or such higher minimum age as may be required in your jurisdiction (for example, 16 years in certain EEA member states for data protection purposes).
• If you are between the applicable minimum age and 18 years of age (or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction), have obtained and be acting with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and accepts responsibility for your use of the Services.
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a legal entity (a company, organisation, or other body), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
• Not be a person or entity subject to any applicable sanctions list or trade restriction that would prohibit the use of our Services.
• Not have been previously banned or suspended from using the Services for a material breach of these Terms.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all of the above requirements. If you do not meet them, you must not use the Services.

4. Licence Grant and Restrictions

4.1 Licence Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and, where applicable, your payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download, install, and use the applicable Product solely for your personal or internal business purposes (as applicable to the Product), in accordance with these Terms and any applicable product documentation.

Where a Product is offered in different tiers (e.g., free and premium), your Licence is limited to the features and functionality made available under the tier for which you have paid, if any. Access to premium features requires a valid Subscription or one-time licence purchase.

4.2 Licence Restrictions

Except to the extent expressly permitted by these Terms, applicable law (including any non-waivable statutory rights you may have), or our prior written consent, you must not:

• Copy, reproduce, distribute, or publicly display any Product or the Website, in whole or in part, beyond what is necessary for ordinary personal use.
• Modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works of, or incorporate any Product or the Website into other software or services.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, or structure of any Product, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits such activity notwithstanding this restriction (for example, under EU Directive 2009/24/EC on the legal protection of computer programs).
• Sell, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, or otherwise transfer or commercialise access to any Product or Subscription without our prior written consent.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or markings on or within any Product.
• Use any Product to develop a competing product or service, or to benchmark a Product for publication without our prior written consent.
• Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with any technical protection measures or licence enforcement mechanisms in any Product.

5. Accounts and Registration

Our Products are designed to function without requiring you to create an account. Where a Product or feature does require account registration, or where you choose to register, the following applies:

• You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep that information up to date.
• You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorised by you.
• You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or credentials. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your credentials.
• You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, suspensions, or feature limitations.

We reserve the right to disable, suspend, or delete any account at our reasonable discretion, including where we believe a violation of these Terms has occurred or where an account poses a risk to the security or integrity of the Services.

6. Software Marketplaces and Distribution

6.1 General

Our Products may be made available through Marketplaces. Your download and installation of any Product through a Marketplace is also subject to that Marketplace's terms and conditions. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a Marketplace's terms, these Terms govern the relationship between you and us; the Marketplace's terms govern the relationship between you and that Marketplace.

6.2 Apple App Store

These Terms are entered into between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for any Product or its content.

6.3 Google Play Store

These Terms are entered into between you and us only, and not with Google LLC ("Google"). Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for any Product or its content.

6.4 Other Marketplaces

The principles set out in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 apply, mutatis mutandis, to Products distributed through any other Marketplace.

7. Subscriptions, Licences, and Payments

7.1 Subscription and Licence Types

Marketplaces offer various access models, which may include free with premium upgrades, recurring Subscriptions (monthly, annual, or other periods), and perpetual or time-limited one-time licences. The applicable model and pricing for each Product are described in the relevant product listing.

7.2 Payment Processing

All payments for Products distributed through a Marketplace are processed by that Marketplace under its own terms and payment policies. We do not receive, handle, or store your payment card details or billing information; all such data is controlled exclusively by the Marketplace.

7.3 Pricing Changes

We reserve the right to change the pricing or availability of any Subscription or licence at any time, subject to providing you with reasonable prior notice. For active paid Subscriptions, price changes will take effect at the start of the next renewal period following notice. Your continued use of the Subscription after the new price takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised pricing. If you do not accept a price change, you must cancel the Subscription before the change takes effect.

7.4 Cancellation

To cancel a Subscription purchased through a Marketplace, use the subscription management tools provided by that Marketplace.

7.5 Taxes

Prices may or may not include applicable taxes (such as VAT, GST, or sales tax) depending on your jurisdiction and the distribution channel. You are responsible for any taxes applicable to your purchase that are not collected by the Marketplace or by us.

8. Free Trials and Evaluation Licences

We may, at our sole discretion, offer free trials or time-limited evaluation licences for paid Products or premium tiers. The specific duration and terms of any free trial are disclosed at the time of offer.

9. Refunds and Cancellations

All purchases made through a Marketplace are subject to that Marketplace's refund policy. We do not directly process refunds for Marketplace purchases.

10. User Content and User Data

10.1 Ownership

You retain all ownership rights in and to any User Content you create or submit through the Services. These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights in your User Content to us.

10.2 Licence to us

By submitting User Content through the Services, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to access, store, process, reproduce, and transmit that User Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services to you and to fulfil our obligations under these Terms. This licence terminates when you delete the User Content or when your access to the relevant Service ends, subject to any retention obligations described in our Privacy Policy.

We do not use User Content for advertising, marketing, model training, or any purpose beyond providing and maintaining the Services, except where you have given your explicit prior consent or where required by law.

10.3 Your Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for the User Content you submit. You represent and warrant that:

• You own the User Content or have obtained all necessary rights, licences, and permissions to submit it through the Services and to grant us the licence in Section 10.2.
• The User Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party.
• The User Content does not contain material that is unlawful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
• If the User Content contains personal information of third parties, you have obtained all necessary consents from those individuals to submit that information through the Services.

11. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use the Services in any of the following ways. This list is illustrative and not exhaustive:

• For any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws, regulations, or binding governmental orders.
• To transmit, upload, or distribute any malware, ransomware, spyware, virus, trojan, worm, or other malicious or harmful code.
• To interfere with, disrupt, or degrade the performance, integrity, or availability of the Services or any third-party system or network connected to them, including through denial-of-service attacks, flooding, or spamming.
• To gain, or attempt to gain, unauthorised access to any part of the Services, any server or system used by us, or any account or data belonging to another user.
• To use automated means - including bots, scrapers, crawlers, scripts, or macros - to access, collect, monitor, or interact with the Services without our prior written consent.
• To circumvent, bypass, or defeat any technical or access control measure, including any licence verification mechanism or authentication system, in any Product.
• To misrepresent your identity, impersonate any person or entity, or fraudulently misstate your affiliation with any person or entity.
• To use the Services to develop, offer, or promote any product, service, or functionality that directly competes with the Services, or to benchmark the Services for publication, without our prior written consent.
• To export or re-export any Product or related technology in violation of applicable export control laws and regulations, including those of the United States, European Union, and United Kingdom.
• To collect, harvest, or process personal information of other users of the Services without their consent.

Violation of these prohibitions may result in immediate suspension or termination of your access to the Services, and may expose you to civil or criminal liability.

12. Intellectual Property

12.1 Ownership

The Services - including all Products, the Website, and all content, features, functionality, software, source code, object code, algorithms, designs, graphics, text, trademarks, trade names, logos, and other materials made available through the Services - are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including copyright, patent, trade mark, trade secret, and sui generis database rights.

These Terms do not transfer any ownership or intellectual property rights to you. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by us and our licensors.

12.2 Feedback

If you provide us with suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, bug reports, or other feedback about the Services ("Feedback"), you hereby assign to us, free of charge and without restriction, all intellectual property rights in and to that Feedback. We may use, reproduce, modify, and exploit Feedback for any purpose without any obligation to you. This assignment does not require us to implement any Feedback or attribute it to you.

12.3 Trade Marks

You may not use our trade marks, trade names, logos, or trade dress in any manner that is likely to cause confusion, that disparages us, or that is not expressly authorised by these Terms or our prior written consent.

12.4 Open-Source Components

Certain Products may incorporate open-source software components governed by their own licence terms. Where applicable, those licence terms are disclosed in the Product's documentation or licence acknowledgements screen. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights granted to you under applicable open-source licences.

13. Privacy and Data Processing

Our collection, use, retention, and disclosure of personal information in connection with the Services is governed exclusively by our Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.

14. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Services may integrate with, link to, or depend on third-party services, platforms, APIs, or software components. Your use of any third-party service is governed exclusively by that third party's own terms of service and privacy policy. We are not responsible for and do not control the content, availability, security, or data practices of any third-party service.

15. Software Updates and Service Changes

We may release updates, patches, or new versions of our Products from time to time to add features, address bugs, improve performance, or maintain security. Depending on the Product and distribution channel, updates may be applied automatically or require your manual action. You are responsible for keeping the Products you use reasonably up to date. We are not responsible for issues arising from your use of an outdated version of a Product.

We may, in our sole discretion, modify the features or technical specifications of any Product, including as part of our compliance with applicable laws or Marketplace policies. We are not liable for any such changes except to the extent required by applicable consumer protection law.

We may discontinue support for older versions of a Product or for specific operating system versions or hardware configurations. Where feasible, we will provide reasonable advance notice of such changes to active paid subscribers.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND AGENTS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; (B) ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR RELIABLE; (C) ANY DEFECT OR ERROR WILL BE CORRECTED; OR (D) THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS.

Jurisdiction-specific rights. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on statutory consumer rights. The exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law in your jurisdiction.

Where a warranty cannot be excluded but can be limited, our liability is limited to re-performing or re-supplying the relevant service, or to the cost of having the service re-performed or re-supplied, at our election and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US (EXCLUDING AMOUNTS PAID TO A MARKETPLACE) IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

17.1 Jurisdiction-Specific Adjustments

• Aggregate cap - all jurisdictions. Where applicable law prevents the full exclusion of consequential or indirect damages, our total liability for all claims - including for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages - shall not exceed the cap in Section 17 above. This cap applies even where a remedy fails its essential purpose.
• Direct damages only. Where a jurisdiction prevents us from excluding consequential or indirect damages entirely, our liability for such damages is nonetheless limited to direct, reasonably foreseeable losses that are a natural and probable consequence of our breach or default, and shall not include speculative, punitive, remote, or business-related economic losses beyond those directly caused by our breach.
• Limitation period. Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be brought within one (1) year after the date on which the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Claims not brought within that period are permanently barred, regardless of any otherwise applicable statute of limitations, except where applicable mandatory law provides for a longer period that cannot be contractually shortened.

18. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless to us and our officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) arising out of or relating to:

• Your breach of any provision of these Terms.
• Your User Content, including any claim that your User Content infringes the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of a third party.
• Your use of the Services in violation of applicable law or regulation.
• Your violation of any third-party right.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to co-operate with us in asserting any available defences. This indemnification obligation does not apply where you are acting as a Consumer and applicable law does not permit such indemnification provisions against Consumers.

19. Termination and Suspension

19.1 Termination by us

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Services, with or without prior notice, where:

• We reasonably believe you have breached these Terms in a material respect and, where the breach is capable of remedy, you have failed to remedy it within a reasonable period after written notice.
• We are required to do so by applicable law, regulation, court order, or regulatory direction.
• We elect to discontinue the relevant Service or Product in accordance with Section 2.
• Continued provision of access would, in our reasonable judgment, cause harm to other users, to us, or to third parties.

Where suspension or termination is for convenience (i.e., not for breach), we will provide you with reasonable advance notice and, if you hold an active paid Subscription, a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees for the unexpired portion of the subscription period, to the extent required by applicable law.

19.2 Termination by You

You may stop using the Services at any time by uninstalling or ceasing to use the Products. To cancel a paid Subscription, follow the process described in Section 7.4. To request deletion of any personal data we hold, please contact us as described in the Privacy Policy.

19.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination of your right to use the Services for any reason:

• The Licence granted to you under Section 4 immediately and automatically terminates.
• You must cease all use of the affected Products and delete or destroy any copies in your possession or control.
• We will handle any personal information we hold about you in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

19.4 Survival

The following sections survive any termination or expiration of these Terms for any reason: Section 1 (Definitions), Section 10.1 (User Content Ownership), Section 10.3 (Your Responsibilities), Section 12 (Intellectual Property), Section 16 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 17 (Limitation of Liability), Section 18 (Indemnification), Section 19.3 (Effect of Termination), Section 20 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution), and Section 21 (General Provisions).

20. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

20.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which we are incorporated, without regard to our conflict-of-law rules or principles.

20.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to contact us and provide a written description of the dispute, the relief sought, and your contact information. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 30 calendar days of receiving your notice. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may pursue formal proceedings as described below.

20.3 No Class Action (Where Permissible)

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any claim against us must be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective proceeding, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. This provision does not apply where applicable mandatory law expressly preserves your right to participate in collective proceedings.

21. General Provisions

21.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Product-specific EULA or addenda, constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, proposals, understandings, or agreements - whether oral or written - relating to the same subject matter.

21.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or other competent authority to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

21.3 Waiver

No failure or delay by us in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right, power, or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy shall preclude any further or other exercise of it. A waiver by us of any breach of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

21.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment without such consent is null and void. We may assign these Terms or any of our rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. These Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns.

21.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly stated in Section 6.2 with respect to any applicable Marketplace provisions, these Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than you and us.

21.6 Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of our obligations under these Terms that is caused by events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, war, terrorism, riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, fire, flood, earthquake, power failures, internet service provider failures, or actions or omissions of third-party services including Marketplaces. In such circumstances, our performance obligations will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event, and we will use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.

21.7 Notices

Notices to you from us may be provided by posting to the Website, within a Product, or by email where you have provided an email address. Notices to us must be sent in writing to the address listed in Section 23 and are deemed received when acknowledged by us in writing.

21.8 Language

These Terms are drafted in the English language. If these Terms are translated into any other language, the English-language version shall prevail in the event of any inconsistency, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

22. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Services, applicable law, or regulatory guidance. The current version is always available at this URL. The "Effective date" at the top of the page indicates when the current version became operative.

For material changes - meaning changes that significantly affect your rights or obligations, expand the scope of licences granted, or materially alter our liability or yours - we will provide at least 30 days' prior notice by a prominent notice on the Website, an in-Product notification, or direct communication where we hold your contact details.

Your continued use of the Services after a revised version of these Terms becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services. You may also exercise any applicable termination or cancellation rights described in Section 19.
