Licence agreement

This End User Licence Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you and Syed Ali, trading as PIXL Foundation (“PIXL Foundation”, “we”, “us”; see “Who we are” below), and covers Space Pixl, including its updates and documentation (the “Software”). By installing or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you don’t agree, don’t install or use it.

1. Your licence

The Software is free of charge for now. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Software, for personal or commercial work, on any number of devices you use.

If we later offer paid editions or features, they will come with their own terms, and we will say so before you are asked to pay for anything. Versions you already have stay under the agreement that came with them.

2. Updates

The Software checks for updates automatically and installs them in the background. You can choose the update channel (Stable or Beta) in Settings. Beta releases arrive earlier and are less tested.

3. What you may not do

You may not:

• sell, rent, lend or sublicense the Software, or pass it off as your own;
• remove or change any copyright, trademark or licence notice in the Software;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except where the law allows it despite this restriction, or where a third-party licence that applies to part of the Software allows it (see section 5).

The source code of the app is published for reference only; its licence is in the LICENSE file of its repository. The PIXL engine inside the Software is a separate, closed component.

4. Your photos and your work

Your photos, and every file the Software writes for you, are yours. We claim no rights in them. The Software works on your own computer and never uploads your photos. It writes each new file beside the original and never moves, replaces or deletes an original: removing originals is always your decision.

5. Third-party software

The Software includes open-source components, each under its own licence. Those licences are listed, with their full texts, in the Third-party notices that come with the Software (in the app: Settings › About & legal) and on our Third-party notices page. Where a third-party licence gives you rights this Agreement would otherwise limit (for example, the GNU LGPL’s rights to replace a library and to reverse engineer in order to debug such changes), that licence prevails for that component.

6. No warranty

The Software is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don’t promise the Software will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that a conversion will suit your purpose. Keep backups of your photos, and check a converted file before you delete its original.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data, profits or revenue, arising from your use of the Software. As the Software is free, our total liability is limited to [amount]. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Termination

This Agreement ends automatically if you break it. When it ends, you must stop using the Software and delete it. Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 survive.

9. General

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and the courts of Ontario have jurisdiction over any dispute about it, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it in your local courts. If a part of it can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. It is the whole agreement between us about the Software. We may update it for future versions; the version that came with your copy applies to that copy.

Who we are

“PIXL Foundation” is the trading name of Syed Ali (xuckless on GitHub), an independent developer in Ontario, Canada, who designed and built the PIXL engine, Pixl Playroom, Space Pixl and our websites. Despite the word “Foundation”, PIXL Foundation is a for-profit business: not a charity, a non-profit or a registered foundation. It is not yet registered as a company; Syed intends to register one soon. When that happens, this document, your PIXL account and any beta access, trial or licence carry over to the company, and our legal name may change, as may the names PIXL, PIXL Foundation, Pixl Playroom and Space Pixl (a rebrand). We will tell you about any such change.

Names and trademarks

Names of cameras, lenses, file formats, software and companies that appear in our apps or on our websites belong to their owners. We use them only to say what our apps work with, and their use doesn’t mean their owners endorse us. If you believe a name, mark or anything else we use infringes your trademark or other rights, email support@pixlfoundation.com and we will look into it promptly.
