1.1 In this EULA, unless the context otherwise requires, the following expressions have the following meanings:

"Documentation" means the user documentation for the Software, whether supplied with the Software or made available by the Licensor at www.atomicwire.io or any other website operated by the Licensor, including any README files, online reference materials, tutorials, and other written materials describing the Software's installation, configuration, and use;

"Licence ID" means the unique identifier issued to you by or on behalf of the Licensor, on completion of your registration, that records your status as a Licensee under this EULA;

2. System Requirements

2.2 The Licensor supports each operating system only for so long as it is supported by its vendor (Microsoft, Apple, or the relevant Linux distribution maintainer). Meeting the minimum specification does not guarantee optimal performance. Performance may vary depending on workload, configuration, and the presence of other software.

3. Accepting or Rejecting this EULA

3.1 By registering with the Licensor for a Licence ID, or by installing or using the Software, you indicate your acceptance of this EULA and the terms and conditions set out herein, which will become binding on you upon your acceptance.

3.2 If you do not accept the terms and conditions of this EULA, you must not install or use the Software.

3.3 You accept this EULA in a personal capacity only. The Licence ID issued to you under this EULA is personal to you, and no employer, principal, or other entity is bound by this EULA or acquires any rights under it, irrespective of any company or organisation name you may provide to the Licensor in connection with your registration.

4. Ownership of the Software and Documentation

4.1 The Software and the Documentation and all intellectual property rights therein (including, but not limited to, copyright) belong to the Licensor. This EULA does not grant to you (or sell to you) any rights of ownership in the Software or the Documentation. This EULA grants you a licence to use the Software and the Documentation in accordance with the terms and conditions of this EULA only.

4.2 The Licensor also retains ownership of any and all copies of the Software or the Documentation and all intellectual property rights therein, regardless of the form in which the copies may exist.

5. Grant and Scope of Licence

5.1 In consideration of your acceptance of this EULA, the Licensor hereby grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free licence to:

a) install and use the Software in accordance with the terms and conditions of this EULA; b) use the Documentation in accordance with the terms and conditions of this EULA, in connection with your permitted use of the Software; c) make a reasonable number of copies of the Software (including for backup or archival purposes) and of the Documentation (in connection with your permitted use of the Software), provided that all such copies retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained in the original.

5.2 You may install the Software on any number of computers or devices that you own, lease, or otherwise control, but may only run and actively use the Software on one such computer or device at any given time. The licence granted under this Clause 5 is personal to you, and the Software may not be used by any person other than you.

5.3 The licence granted under this Clause 5 is granted for so long as this EULA remains in effect. On termination of this EULA, the licence shall immediately terminate, and you must cease all use of the Software and Documentation.

6. Licence Restrictions

6.1 You may not make copies of the Software or Documentation or any part thereof except where such copying is necessary to support the normal use of the Software in accordance with this EULA or is permitted by sub-Clause 5.1(c).

6.2 You may not translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works based on the Software (or any part thereof) except as expressly permitted by law or this EULA. Sections 50B and 296A of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 permit such actions only where they are necessary to obtain information necessary to create an independent software program which can be operated with the Software or with another software program ("the permitted objective"). The information obtained from such actions must not be used for any other purpose.

6.3 The actions described in sub-Clause 6.2 will not be permitted if you:

a) already have readily available to you the information necessary to achieve the permitted objective; b) do not confine the decompiling to such acts as are necessary to achieve the permitted objective; c) supply the information obtained by the decompiling to any person to whom it is not necessary to supply it in order to achieve the permitted objective; or d) use the information to create a software program which is substantially similar in its expression to the Software or to do any other act restricted by copyright.

6.4 You may not modify, adapt, alter, translate, or otherwise change the Software or Documentation or any part thereof.

6.5 You may not alter, delete, or otherwise obscure any notices of proprietary rights (including, but not limited to, copyright) or any product identification or restrictions on or in the Software or the Documentation. Any and all such notices must be included in full on all copies made of the Software or the Documentation, whether full or partial.

6.6 You may not make the Software or Documentation available, whether over a network, by any method of remote access, or otherwise, to any other person. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause does not prevent you from accessing or running the Software on remote infrastructure (such as a server, build agent, or cloud instance) that you own, lease, or otherwise control, provided that no other person is given access to the Software.

6.7 You may not rent, lease, sub-licence, sell, assign, pledge, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Software or the Documentation, on a temporary or permanent basis, without the prior written consent of the Licensor.

6.8 You may not circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with any licensing controls, validation mechanisms, or similar measures that may be included in the Software by the Licensor from time to time.

6.9 You may not share, transfer, or otherwise make available your Licence ID to any other person.

a) you will use, and permit the use of, the Software only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this EULA; and b) you will use the Software in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

7.2 You must register with the Licensor and obtain a Licence ID prior to your first use of the Software.

8. Software Updates

8.1 The Licensor may, from time to time, issue updates, patches, bug fixes, security fixes, and other modifications to the Software (collectively, "Updates"). The Licensor is under no obligation to provide any particular Update, or any Updates at all, to you, and gives no commitment as to the timing or content of any Updates so made available.

8.2 The Licensor may, but is not obliged to, include new features or functionality in Updates. The Licensor reserves the right to release new major versions of the Software which may, at the Licensor's discretion, be made available as a separate product or otherwise on terms different from this EULA.

8.3 Where you are a consumer, the Licensor will provide such Updates as are necessary to keep the Software in conformity with the contract, in accordance with the Licensor's obligations under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Nothing in sub-Clauses 8.1 or 8.2 affects those statutory rights.

9. No Support

9.1 The Licensor is under no obligation to provide any technical support, customer service, training, consultancy, or other assistance to you in respect of the Software.

9.2 The Licensor may, at its sole discretion, make support resources (such as documentation, community forums, or general guidance) available to users of the Software, but does not commit to do so and may withdraw any such resources at any time.

10. No Warranty

10.1 The Software and the Documentation are provided to you "as is" and "as available", with all faults, and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Licensor disclaims all warranties, conditions, representations, and other terms, whether express or implied, in respect of the Software and the Documentation, including (without limitation) any implied warranties or conditions of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, conformity with description, or non-infringement.

10.2 Without limiting sub-Clause 10.1, the Licensor does not warrant that the Software or the Documentation will meet your particular requirements, that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects in the Software will be corrected, or that the Software is free from viruses or other harmful components.

10.3 If you are a consumer, this Clause 10 does not affect your statutory rights, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The exclusions and limitations in this Clause 10 do not apply to you to the extent that those rights cannot be excluded or limited by agreement.

11. Limitation of Liability

11.1 Nothing in this EULA shall exclude or limit the Licensor's liability for death or personal injury resulting from the Licensor's negligence or that of its employees, agents, or sub-contractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or for any other form of liability which cannot be limited or excluded under English law.

11.2 If you are a consumer, the Licensor will be responsible for loss or damage suffered by you that is a foreseeable result of the Licensor's failure to comply with this EULA or failure to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is "foreseeable" if it is obvious that it will occur or if it was contemplated by you and the Licensor when this EULA was made.

11.3 If you are a consumer and the Software damages a device or other digital content belonging to you, where that damage is caused by the Licensor's failure to use reasonable skill and care, the Licensor will either repair the damage or pay you appropriate compensation. The Licensor shall not be liable under this sub-Clause if (a) the damage could have been avoided by you applying an Update which the Licensor has made available, (b) the damage is caused by your failure to follow installation instructions, or (c) your device does not meet the system requirements set out in Clause 2.

11.4 If you are a business customer, subject to sub-Clauses 11.1 and 11.5, the Licensor shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with this EULA, for:

a) loss of profits; b) loss of sales or business; c) loss of revenue; d) loss of agreements or contracts; e) loss of anticipated savings; f) loss of use or corruption of software or data; g) business interruption; h) loss of business opportunity, reputation, or goodwill; i) special, indirect, or consequential loss, damage, charges, or expenses.

11.5 If you are a business customer, subject to sub-Clauses 11.1 and 11.4, the Licensor's maximum aggregate liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with this EULA, shall not exceed £100. The Licensor's liability under this sub-Clause reflects the fact that the Software is provided to you free of charge.

11.6 Nothing in this Clause 11 affects your statutory rights as a consumer where the Software is faulty or not as described.

12. No Other Warranties or Liability

12.1 If you are a business customer, this EULA sets out the full extent of the Licensor's liabilities and obligations with respect to the Software and Documentation. Except as expressly set out in this EULA, the Licensor is bound by no other conditions, warranties, representations, guarantees, or other terms, whether express or implied.

12.2 If you are a business customer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any warranties, representations, guarantees, or other terms which may be implied or otherwise incorporated into this EULA whether by statute, common law, or otherwise, are hereby excluded.

13. Changes to this EULA

13.1 The Licensor may revise this EULA from time to time, including in response to changes in relevant laws and other regulatory requirements, changes to the Software, or changes in the Licensor's business practices. The Licensor will give you reasonable advance notice of any material changes by email to the email address associated with your Licence ID, by a notice within the Software, by a notice posted at www.atomicwire.io, or by similar means.

13.2 If you do not accept a change to this EULA, you must cease use of the Software. If you continue to use the Software after the change takes effect, you will be deemed to have accepted the change.
