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 installing or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. License grant

Once paid sales are enabled, a valid purchase grants you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to install and use the purchased tier for personal or internal business purposes. Any transfer is subject to applicable law; after a permitted transfer, you must stop using the Software and hand over the corresponding license key.

If we issue you a permanent Pro gift code, we grant you a free, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use Meanshot Pro for personal or internal business purposes on the single Mac identified in that machine-bound grant. Grants issued under the earlier five-Mac terms retain that original allowance; contact support to obtain corresponding machine-bound replacements. This gift includes future Meanshot updates and major versions that we release, without an upgrade fee. It does not promise that new versions will be developed or that future versions will support every older Mac or macOS version. Ending free issuance or opening paid sales does not expire an already issued gift or require its holder to pay.

2. Activation

The current free launch has no time-limited trial. A valid permanent Pro grant or purchased licence is required to unlock the app. The initial free claim needs an internet connection; an existing grant then verifies offline on its identified Mac, including after the offer closes.

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 assigned to your license. Keep it confidential. We validate purchased 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.

Gift codes are verified entirely on your Mac and saved in its Keychain. They have no expiry, recurring online validation, or IP-address restriction. New grants are bound to a hashed hardware identifier and do not activate another Mac. Keep a private backup to restore access on the same Mac. Contact support for hardware replacement or migration of an earlier grant; there is no automatic transfer that disables an offline Mac. Gift codes are for their recipient and must not be shared or published. Activating a gift does not remove an existing purchased license.

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;
• 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

A purchased license includes the updates we make available for its major version. Future major versions may be separate paid upgrades. We provide updates, remedies, and support where required by applicable law; any additional support or update commitment will be stated before purchase.

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. Warranty rights

Your statutory warranty and conformity rights apply. Nothing in the free launch offer limits mandatory consumer rights.

11. Limitation of liability

Our liability is governed by applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability where doing so is prohibited, including liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, under product-liability law, or for breach of a guarantee we expressly gave.

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. For paid digital content, the right may expire before that period ends only if all requirements of § 356(6) BGB are met, including your express prior consent, acknowledgment of the consequence, and confirmation on a durable medium. Receiving a free grant does not waive rights attached to a later purchase. See our Refund Policy.

13. Term & termination

This Agreement applies for as long as you use the Software. We may terminate the license for a material breach after notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure where required by law. On effective termination you must stop using and delete the Software. Statutory termination rights remain unaffected.

14. Reseller

Once paid sales are enabled, purchases will be sold and fulfilled by Lemon Squeezy (Lemon Squeezy, LLC) as merchant of record. The seller identity, total price, payment terms, withdrawal information, and applicable transaction terms will be shown before you place an order.

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 to the extent allowed by law. The version accepted when you install or purchase applies to that license. Later changes apply only where required by law, expressly agreed with you, or to future installations or purchases; the current public version is dated above.
