SHOWOUT END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

DRAFT — NOT YET IN EFFECT. This self-authored working draft requires final consistency and operational review before publication. The proposed canonical location is https://showout.io/eula; no bundled copy is binding until that page is live, matches this text, and the release gates accept it.

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

"Software" means the Showout application, its updates, and the accompanying documentation. By installing, activating, or using the Software you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. Grant of License

Subject to your acceptance of and continued compliance with this Agreement and, for paid tiers, payment of the applicable fee, Licensor grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software for your own commercial or personal purposes. A purchased license key authorizes activation on up to the number of devices stated for your tier at the time of purchase. Without a valid activated license the Software runs in an evaluation mode that applies a visible watermark to program output.

2. License Key and Activation

License keys are issued through Licensor's authorized store. You are responsible for keeping your key confidential. The Software periodically validates the license over the network; a lapsed or revoked license may revert the Software to watermarked evaluation mode. You may deactivate a device to free an activation for use on another device.

3. Restrictions

Except to the extent a restriction is prohibited by applicable law, you may not: (a) copy, distribute, sublicense, rent, lease, resell, or otherwise transfer the Software or your license key; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or attempt to derive its source code; (c) modify or create derivative works of the Software; (d) remove, obscure, or circumvent the trial watermark, the license validation, or any copyright or third-party notices; or (e) use the Software in violation of applicable law.

4. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. This Agreement grants you no rights except those expressly stated.

5. Third-Party Components

The Software includes open-source components licensed under their own terms, reproduced in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt and the accompanying license files. Those terms govern your use of those components and, where they grant you broader rights, are not limited by this Agreement.

6. Updates

Licensor may, but is not obligated to, provide updates. Updates are governed by this Agreement unless they are accompanied by a separate license.

7. Privacy and Diagnostics

The first paid release keeps crash diagnostics on your device unless you deliberately export a scrubbed report to a file that you control; it has no built-in customer crash-upload endpoint. What the Software collects and how it is handled are described in the Privacy Policy at https://showout.io/privacy.

8. Purchases, Taxes, and Refunds

Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, the merchant of record, which handles billing, applicable taxes, and refunds under its own terms and Licensor's stated refund policy.

9. Term and Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using and delete all copies of the Software. Sections 3, 4, 10, 11, and 12 survive termination.

10. Disclaimer of Warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU BEAR THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT. LICENSOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

13. Entire Agreement

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Licensor regarding the Software and supersedes any prior agreements regarding it. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
