Software Licence Agreement
The terms on which ArkenApps software is licensed for use — please read before installing or activating.
Last updated: 9 August 2026
IMPORTANT: This Software Licence Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between the person or organisation obtaining the software (“Licensee”, “you”) and ArkenApps (“ArkenApps”, “we”, “us”). By installing, activating, copying, accessing, or using the software, you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the software.
1. Licence grant
Subject to payment of applicable fees and compliance with this Agreement, ArkenApps grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as expressly permitted below), non-sublicensable licence to install and use the object-code version of the applicable ArkenApps software and accompanying documentation for your own internal purposes, within the edition, device, user, organisation, territory, term, and other limits stated on the product page, order, licence certificate, quotation, or checkout.
Unless the applicable order states otherwise, a paid desktop licence is a right to use the purchased version on a perpetual basis; it is not a transfer of ownership and does not by itself include future major-version upgrades, hosted services, bespoke development, or indefinite support.
2. Licence scope and device limits
The permitted number of users, computers, virtual machines, installations, or activations is the number stated for the relevant product or licence. If no number is stated for a paid single-user desktop licence, the default is one active installation for one licensed user on one computer at a time.
A genuine licence may be transferred to a replacement computer where the old installation has been deactivated or is no longer in use, subject to reasonable activation controls. ArkenApps may require the licence holder to verify the order before resetting an activation.
3. Activation and licence verification
Some products use a licence key or online activation service. Activation may transmit the licence key, product and edition information, activation status, and a device-generated identifier or instance identifier needed to apply the authorised activation limit. ArkenApps does not require access to the customer's ordinary document contents for licence verification.
You may not deliberately bypass, disable, falsify, emulate, interfere with, or defeat licence validation or activation controls. A licence key is confidential to the legitimate licensee and must not be posted publicly, sold separately, shared outside the licensed scope, or used to enable unlicensed copies.
4. Ownership and reservation of rights
The software is licensed, not sold. ArkenApps and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the software, source code, object code, user interface, design, documentation, trademarks, product names, algorithms, database structure, and other intellectual property. Except for the limited licence expressly granted here, no rights are transferred to you.
5. Restrictions
Except to the extent a restriction is prohibited by mandatory law, you must not:
- copy or distribute the paid software beyond reasonable backup copies and the permitted licensed installations;
- sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, host for third parties, time-share, or commercially redistribute the software or licence key;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, translate, modify, or attempt to derive source code, except to the limited extent mandatory law expressly permits despite this restriction;
- remove or alter copyright, trademark, attribution, licence, or proprietary notices;
- circumvent technical limits, activation controls, usage limits, or access restrictions;
- use the software or outputs to violate privacy, data protection, intellectual-property, computer-misuse, sanctions, export-control, employment, surveillance, or other applicable law; or
- use the software to access, search, extract, process, or export information that you do not have lawful authority to access or process.
6. Customer files and data
As between ArkenApps and you, you retain ownership and responsibility for the files, records, databases, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, emails, contact data, and other content you choose to process with the software. You are responsible for having the rights, permissions, notices, and lawful basis required for that processing and for securing the computers and storage locations under your control.
Unless a product expressly states otherwise, local desktop processing does not give ArkenApps access to the contents of files stored on your computer. Any support files you voluntarily provide are handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy and the applicable support arrangement.
7. Updates, upgrades, and compatibility
ArkenApps may provide maintenance releases, security fixes, compatibility updates, or minor enhancements at its discretion. A purchase does not guarantee that every future operating system, file format, third-party application, or hardware change will be supported indefinitely. New major versions, premium modules, cloud services, or substantial new functionality may require a separate licence or fee.
8. Third-party and open-source components
The software may contain or interact with third-party or open-source components. Those components remain subject to their applicable licence notices. Nothing in this Agreement limits rights granted directly under an applicable open-source licence.
9. Free, trial, beta, and preview software
Free, trial, beta, preview, demonstration, and evaluation editions may have reduced features, usage limits, time limits, non-commercial restrictions, or different support terms. They are supplied primarily for evaluation or limited use and may be changed or withdrawn. Product-specific Free Edition terms prevail where stated.
10. Support
Support is governed by the Support Policy and any product-specific support entitlement. Unless expressly included in an order, the licence fee does not include on-site support, data migration, custom development, training, integration work, restoration of customer data, or administration of customer devices.
11. Limited warranty
For a reasonable period following purchase, ArkenApps warrants that the paid software will perform substantially in accordance with its published description when used on a supported environment. This warranty does not cover defects or failures caused by unsupported modifications, malware, third-party software, customer data corruption, hardware failure, misuse, unauthorised access, or use outside published requirements. Your primary remedy for a verified breach is correction, replacement, workaround, or, where appropriate, refund in accordance with the Refund Policy.
12. Disclaimer
Except for the express limited warranty above and rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, the software and documentation are provided “as is” and “as available”. ArkenApps does not warrant that the software will be uninterrupted or error-free, that every file or file format will be discoverable or extractable, that search or extraction results will be complete in every circumstance, or that the software will meet a particular regulatory, evidentiary, forensic, legal, accounting, or compliance standard unless expressly agreed in writing.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ArkenApps will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity, goodwill, anticipated savings, data, or business interruption. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ArkenApps' aggregate liability arising from a particular paid licence will not exceed the amount actually paid for that licence during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
14. Termination
This Agreement remains in force while you use the software. Your licence terminates automatically if you materially breach this Agreement and fail to cure a curable breach after reasonable notice, or immediately where the breach involves deliberate piracy, unlawful redistribution, fraudulent activation, or circumvention. On termination, you must stop using the affected paid software and remove unlicensed copies. Provisions concerning ownership, restrictions, liability, and dispute resolution survive termination to the extent necessary to give them effect.
15. Governing law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of India. Subject to mandatory rights that apply in the Licensee's jurisdiction, the competent courts at Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from this Agreement. An enterprise order, signed agreement, or marketplace term may specify a different dispute process for that transaction.
16. Entire agreement and precedence
This Agreement, the applicable order or product page, the Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, and any product-specific written terms form the agreement governing the licensed software. If a signed enterprise agreement, quotation, or statement of work expressly conflicts with this Agreement, the expressly negotiated document prevails for that customer and scope.
