End-user license agreement

Systweak PDF Editor License Terms

IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Systweak Software ("Company") for the Company software Systweak PDF Editor, that accompanies this EULA, which includes Device software and may include associated media, printed materials, "online" or electronic documentation, and Internet-based services ("Software"). An amendment or addendum to this EULA may accompany the Software. YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL, COPY, OR USE THE SOFTWARE; YOU MAY RETURN IT TO YOUR PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR A FULL REFUND, IF APPLICABLE.

BY PROCEEDING TO INSTALL, COPY OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU GIVE YOUR EXPLICIT CONFIRMATION TO ACCEPTANCE OF THIS EULA, OR THE EULA ACCOMPANYING THE COPY OF SOFTWARE THAT YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED WITH THE SOFTWARE.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE

Company grants you the following rights provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

1.1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access, display and run one copy of the Software on the number of Devices, such as a workstation, terminal, or other device ("Device"), as allowed by your license agreement. Setup offers to add Systweak PDF Editor to the Windows Explorer right-click menu; you can untick this option during Setup and remove the entry later in the Software's Settings. The Software asks whether to open PDF files with Systweak PDF Editor by default; only if you accept, or turn on "Always open PDFs in PDF Editor" in Settings, does it change the Windows file association for .pdf files, and you can change it back at any time in Windows Settings > Apps > Default apps. If you install the optional License Key Management Portal (enterprise licensing, see "Other General Terms" below), Setup adds an exception to the Windows Firewall for the Portal so that activation and license management can work; this is done transparently and only for that purpose.

1.2 Free Trial Version and Activation. Unless you enter a valid license key, the copy of the Software you install is a FREE 7-DAY TRIAL. The trial starts when you first install the Software. During the trial, premium features may be unavailable or restricted, and each PDF that the trial permits you to save or export carries a visible "Trial" watermark. Setup and the trial do not ask for payment details, and Company does not charge you automatically when the trial ends. After 7 (seven) days, premium features stop working until you buy a license and activate the Software. You may buy a license at https://www.systweakpdfeditor.com/price/ under the price and terms displayed before purchase (see 1.6), or uninstall the Software at any time (see 1.4).

Activation. To use the licensed version, you enter a license key in the Software, which validates the license through the Internet (toll charges may apply) or through an approved on-premises activation system. Activation sends Company the license key, product and version information, and the device identifiers and technical information needed to validate the license and enforce its permitted device count. The activation service also receives the IP address used for the connection. You may need to reactivate the Software after a material hardware change. Company uses these measures to prevent unlicensed use. If you do not have a valid license, you may not use licensed features after the trial period or install updates reserved for licensed users. Details of the information processed during activation are in the Privacy Policy at https://www.systweakpdfeditor.com/privacy-policy/. If you are unsure whether these terms apply to your copy, write to support@systweak.com or contact your point of purchase.

1.3 Storage/Network Use. You may also store or install a copy of the Software on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install or run Software on your other Workstation Devices over an internal network; however, you must acquire and dedicate an additional license for each separate Device on or from which Software is installed, used, accessed, displayed or run. Except as otherwise permitted, a license for Software may not be shared or used concurrently on different Devices.

1.4 Uninstallation. You may uninstall this Application at any time, using the standard uninstall procedures as offered with your computer's Operating System, by accessing the computer's "Control Panel>Uninstall a Program" folder (or Windows Settings > Apps), selecting Software from the list of installed applications, and clicking the "Uninstall" button. This will remove Software from your Windows PC, together with the scheduled tasks described in section 19, the Explorer right-click menu entry, the components downloaded by Setup (see 8.1) and the Repair Tool. The instructions or steps may be different based on the Operating System, Version and Device in use. Please note that some files/folders will remain on your system after you have uninstalled this Software. These files/folders cannot be removed by the uninstall process but can be removed after a reboot. You may get a prompt regarding this when the Uninstall process is underway. On some devices and OS, Software registration information will be left behind after the uninstall so that you may not require to register the Software again, if you decide to reinstall the Software. The Software installer will offer to place a shortcut to the Software so that you can access it conveniently through the desktop or quick launch bar. You may be given an option to opt out of these shortcut creations at the time of installation. The Software installer may install the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries if not already present on your computer, as they are required for the Software to function. If installed by our Software, you may uninstall them by accessing the computer's "Control Panel>Uninstall a Program" folder, selecting the Microsoft .NET Framework or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable entry from the list of installed applications, and clicking the "Uninstall" button. The Software requires an Internet connection to perform functions like activation, update checks and online services.

1.5 Acquisition. You may have acquired the Software from a source other than Company website as the Company distributes the Software through Resellers, Affiliates, Stores, Distributors etc. Regardless of source of acquisition, the EULA and its terms shall be applicable to you, should you continue to Install and Use the Software. There may be additional terms and policies applicable to your Installation and usage of the Software, which shall depend on the source of acquisition.

You can acquire Software from an App Store. A store edition may be free to download with basic features enabled. The Software's product page identifies the basic and premium features available in that edition. A paid subscription begins only when you affirmatively purchase it through the store. If the store offers a free trial tied to an auto-renewing subscription, the store purchase screen will show the trial period, price, billing period, renewal terms and cancellation method before you confirm the subscription. Store subscriptions are governed by the store-specific terms below. For the Windows desktop version downloaded from Company's website or obtained from a reseller, no subscription begins automatically at the end of the free trial; Company charges you only after you affirmatively buy a license (see 1.6).

1.6 Prices, Renewal and Refunds. The price and license type that apply to your purchase are those displayed in the final purchase screen and recorded in your order confirmation or license document. Before you pay, the purchase screen must show the total amount, license duration or billing period, and any renewal terms. If you buy an auto-renewing subscription, it renews at the price and for the period disclosed before purchase unless you turn auto-renewal off. Company e-mails you before each renewal. You can turn auto-renewal off through the cancellation link in your order e-mail or by writing to support@systweak.com with your order number. Refunds and cancellations are governed by the Refund Policy at https://www.systweakpdfeditor.com/refund-policy/.

Other General Terms for Enterprise and Non-Enterprise Customers:

License and Activation: Systweak PDF Editor along with its License Key Management Portal is also available under various models for enterprise and government customers requiring large quantities and offline mode as under:

• 1. Network-based floating license
• 2. Cloud version or Server-less
• 3. On-Premises (Self Hosting License Management)

*These models are customizable at the time of acquiring the license on a case to case basis.

License type and duration

• Subscription License: A subscription license permits use for the term stated in the order confirmation or license document. It requires renewal and payment to continue after that term. Updates and support are included for the active subscription term unless the purchase terms state otherwise.
• Perpetual License: A perpetual license permits indefinite use of the version of the Software purchased and activated by the customer. It does not expire because a support or update period ends. Unless the order confirmation or license document states otherwise, a perpetual license includes updates and support for one year from purchase. It does not include future major versions, optional add-on services or online services offered under separate terms.
• Support and Activation: Subscription support is provided for the active subscription term. A perpetual license includes one year of support unless the purchase terms state otherwise, and the customer may buy additional support or update coverage. Software activation is required through online activation or an approved on-premises activation system. Company may require reactivation after a material hardware change or license transfer, but expiration of support alone does not terminate a perpetual license.
• Functionality Alignment: The software's functionality will be consistent with the operating system's end-of-life policy and updates will be available based on the underlying operating system.
• Required Updates: Company may require security, compatibility or service updates for activation, updates and other connected services to keep working. Company will identify a required update and make it available before restricting the affected connected service. Failure to install a required update may make that connected service unavailable or may leave the installed version unsupported. It does not, by itself, convert a perpetual license into a fixed-term license or end the customer's right to use the purchased version's local functions.
• Upgrades to New Versions: Any upgrades to new versions of the software released after the first year will incur additional charges. Details of these charges will be provided at the time of the upgrade offer.

Compatibility:

The software is compatible with the following versions of Windows: Version 11, Version 10, Version 8.1, Version 8 and Version 7SP1.

OCR Compatibility:

OCR functionality is currently supported only on Windows 11 and Windows 10.

1.5.2: Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.

1.5.3: Current subscription may not be canceled during the active subscription period; however, you can manage your subscription and/or turn off auto-renewal by visiting your iTunes Account Settings after purchase.

1.5.4: Any unused portion of any free trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Where a component's license requires it, Company makes the corresponding source code, or a written offer for it, available at https://www.systweak.com/third-party-notices.

Components downloaded by Setup.

License Key Management Portal. If you install the optional Portal on an on-premise server, Setup also installs PostgreSQL and Npgsql (both under the PostgreSQL License) as its database. Setup tells you before installing them and proceeds only with your explicit consent.

Third-party components remain subject to their applicable license terms. Nothing in this EULA expands or restricts the rights that those licenses grant to you. Company remains responsible for the Software as a whole, including any defect or vulnerability introduced by a component it distributes, subject to the warranty and liability terms of this EULA.

19. Miscellaneous.

Scheduled Tasks: Setup may offer optional scheduled tasks for update checks or product notifications and will show the available selections before installation. You can clear those selections before continuing. You can review or turn off these options in Settings > General, and Setup removes the related scheduled tasks when you uninstall the Software. Company should not use a scheduled task for a purpose that is not described in Setup or Settings.

Explorer Integration: If you keep the Setup option ticked, the Software adds a "Systweak PDF Editor" entry to the Windows Explorer right-click menu for files and folders. You can remove it in Settings or by unticking the option during Setup.

Repair Tool: The Software installs a support utility, Systweak PDF Editor Repair Tool (SPERepairTool.exe), in its installation folder and adds a "Repair Systweak PDF Editor" shortcut to the Start menu. The Repair Tool runs only when you start it. It checks for common problems that can stop the Software from starting. For this purpose it reads information from your Device, such as whether the Software can read and save its settings in the Windows registry, whether the Software can write to its data folder (it briefly creates and deletes a small test file there), the installed Microsoft .NET Framework version, the Software's program files, whether the Software's safe graphics mode is turned on, and the names of security software reported by Windows. It does not change your settings, the Windows registry or other system settings, and it does not send any information over the Internet. It saves the results in a report file on your Device, and you decide whether to share that report with Company's support team. Only when you choose to, it opens Company's support page or Microsoft's .NET Framework download page in your web browser, or starts the Software in safe graphics mode or with normal graphics. The Repair Tool is removed when you uninstall the Software.

20. Software Support.

Company may provide you with support services related to Product. Additional terms may govern support services. Any supplemental software code provided to you as part of the support services or otherwise will be considered part of Software and subject to this agreement. Company is responsible for order fulfilment only and will provide customer support during its normal business hours. Company has contracted or may in the future contract with third parties to provide technical support for Software.

21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY.

This EULA (including any addendum or amendment to this EULA which is included with Software, and Schedule A) is the entire agreement between you and Company relating to Software and the support services (if any) and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to Software or any other subject matter covered by this EULA. To the extent the terms of any Company policies or programs for support services conflict with the terms of this EULA, the terms of this EULA shall control. If any provision of this EULA is held to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

22. BACKUP RESPONSIBILITY.

The Software edits and converts documents and, as such, can make irreversible changes to the files it processes on the Device on which it is run. While all precautions commercially possible are taken, Company cannot accurately predict or ensure the outcome in all possible scenarios, and therefore you agree to keep backups of your documents and personal information before operating the Software. You agree that you accept all responsibility for reversing or correcting any changes made by the Software.

Exclusion of All Other Terms. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the Warranty above, Company disclaims all warranties, conditions, and other terms, either express or implied (whether by statute, common law, collaterally or otherwise) including but not limited to implied warranties of satisfactory quality and fitness for particular purpose with respect to Software and the written materials that accompany Software. Any implied warranties that cannot be excluded are limited to 30 days or to the shortest period permitted by applicable law, whichever is greater.
