End User License Agreement

This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a binding contract between you and Bent Eisheuer (“we”, “us”, the “Licensor”), developer of Meanshot (the “Software”). By downloading, installing, purchasing, or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.

1. License grant

Upon purchase of a valid license, we grant you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software for personal or internal business purposes, limited to the tier you purchased (Basic or Pro) and activated on Macs that you own or control for your own reasonable use.

2. Free trial

The Software may be used free for a 14-day evaluation with full Pro functionality. After the trial ends, continued use requires a paid license.

3. Tiers

Basic unlocks the screenshot tools (capture, annotation, editor, OCR, scrolling, pin, measurement). Pro unlocks everything in Basic plus the Studio (recording, streaming, replay buffer, virtual camera, professional audio). Available features depend on your tier.

4. License keys & activation

Your license key is personal to you. Keep it confidential. We validate keys and device activations through our licensing provider (Lemon Squeezy). You may not share, sell, or publish your key. We may deactivate keys obtained fraudulently or associated with a chargeback or refund.

5. Restrictions

You may not:

• redistribute, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, or resell the Software;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble it, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits;
• remove or alter any proprietary notices;
• use it to build a competing product, or circumvent the licensing or trial mechanisms.

6. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Software, including all intellectual-property rights. This Agreement grants you no rights in our trademarks.

7. Updates

Your license includes updates we make available for the major version you purchased. Future major versions may be offered as separate paid upgrades. We are not obligated to provide updates or support.

8. Third-party & open-source components

The Software is built on Apple frameworks and may include open-source components (for example, the Sparkle update framework, MIT-licensed) whose notices ship with the Software and are governed by their own licenses.

9. Your content & privacy

The Software runs on your device. We do not collect your screenshots, recordings, or files. Our handling of the limited data involved in licensing is described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant it will be error-free or uninterrupted. Your mandatory statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to the Software is limited to the amount you paid for your license. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or loss of data or profits. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law (including the German Product Liability Act).

12. Consumer right of withdrawal (EU/EEA)

If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from your purchase. Because the Software is digital content and a free trial is provided, you may be asked to consent to immediate provision and to acknowledge that your withdrawal right lapses once you activate a paid license with that consent. See our Refund Policy.

13. Term & termination

This Agreement applies for as long as you use the Software and terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using and delete the Software. Provisions that by their nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability, governing law) survive termination.

14. Reseller

Purchases are sold and fulfilled by Lemon Squeezy (Lemon Squeezy, LLC) acting as our merchant of record, who handles payment, invoicing, and applicable taxes. Their terms apply to the transaction itself.

15. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected.

16. Miscellaneous

If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. This Agreement is the entire agreement regarding the Software. We may update it; material changes will be posted here with a new date.
