End User License Agreement
This End User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single legal entity) and Vecspine ("Licensor") for the Vecspine desktop application, including any associated media, documentation, and updates (collectively, the "Software").
By installing, copying, activating, or otherwise using the Software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software and uninstall it immediately.
1. Grant of License
Subject to your compliance with this EULA and payment of the applicable license fee, Licensor grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software on the number of machines specified by your purchased tier:
- Solo: one (1) machine
- Studio: up to three (3) machines
- Agency: up to ten (10) machines
Each installation must be activated with a valid license key bound to that machine's hardware fingerprint. This license does not entitle you to any future major-version releases (e.g., v2.x) unless explicitly included in your purchase.
2. License is Not a Sale
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. This EULA does not grant you any rights to use the Licensor's trademarks, trade dress, or logos beyond what is necessary to identify the Software.
3. Permitted Uses
You may:
- Install and use the Software on the permitted number of machines;
- Make one (1) backup copy of the Software installer for archival purposes;
- Use the Software to process any raster or vector artwork you own or are authorized to process;
- Freely use, distribute, and commercialize any output (SVG, PDF, DXF, PNG, icon kits, etc.) you create with the Software without attribution or restriction.
4. Restrictions
You may NOT:
- Rent, lease, lend, sublicense, or distribute the Software;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
- Modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices on the Software;
- Circumvent, bypass, or defeat any license-protection mechanism, including the Ed25519 activation system;
- Share your license key with third parties, or use one key to activate more machines than your tier allows;
- Use the Software to provide a hosted or web-based tracing service to third parties (SaaS use);
- Use the Software in any manner that violates applicable law or infringes third-party rights.
5. Activation & Machine Binding
The Software uses an offline Ed25519 cryptographic activation system. Activation generates a one-way hash ("Machine ID") of your hardware and requires a license key signed by the Licensor.
- Studio and Agency tiers: free re-binding when you upgrade or replace hardware — email support with your new Machine ID;
- Solo tier: one (1) free re-bind per license lifetime. Additional re-binds may be granted at Licensor's discretion.
The Software does not "phone home." Activation is a one-time offline exchange.
6. Updates
Licensor may release updates to the Software. Minor and patch updates within your major version are provided at no additional charge. Major version upgrades (e.g., 1.x → 2.x) may require a separate purchase, at Licensor's discretion.
7. Your Output — Your Property
Licensor claims no ownership over any files, artwork, vectors, SVGs, PDFs, DXFs, icon kits, or other output you produce using the Software. You are free to use, sell, distribute, and license your output without restriction.
8. No Warranty
AS-IS
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, title, and non-infringement. Licensor does not warrant that the Software will be error-free, uninterrupted, or compatible with all systems.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Licensor be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, consequential, or exemplary damages whatsoever — including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, data, business interruption, or loss of business information — arising out of the use or inability to use the Software, even if Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Licensor's total liability exceed the amount you paid for the Software.
10. Termination
This EULA is effective until terminated. It will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with any material term. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies in your possession. Sections 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, and 12 survive termination.
11. Export Compliance
The Software may be subject to export control laws. You agree to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations.
12. Governing Law
This EULA is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Licensor operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising under this EULA shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
13. Entire Agreement
This EULA, together with the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Licensor concerning the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, whether written or oral.
