The terms for using our software.

This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you (and the company you represent) and Fulcrum VDC, LLC ("Fulcrum VDC," "we," "us") for the Fulcrum VDC desktop applications, including QR Splitter, and any updates (the "Software"). By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the Software.

1. License grant

Subject to this Agreement and your active Fulcrum Hub account and applicable plan, Fulcrum VDC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on computers you own or control, solely for your internal business purposes.

2. Accounts, plans & billing

Use of paid Software requires a Fulcrum Hub account and is subject to a plan — a time-limited trial, then metered (pay-per-use), prepaid credits, or a per-seat subscription — as described at sign-up and in the Hub. Some tools (such as the NWC Exporter Installer) are free and require no account; downloading them asks only for an email address. You are responsible for activity under your account and for charges incurred. Billing is handled through Stripe.

3. License enforcement & connectivity

The Software periodically verifies your license and reports usage by communicating with Fulcrum Hub. The Software may operate for a limited offline grace period, after which continued use may require reconnection. You agree not to interfere with, disable, or circumvent license verification, usage metering, or billing. We may suspend or revoke access for non-payment, suspected abuse, or detected tampering.

4. Updates

We may release updates, and certain releases may be required to continue using the Software. You acknowledge that we may discontinue support for older versions and prompt or require you to update.

5. Restrictions

You agree not to, and not to permit others to:

• copy, redistribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or host the Software for third parties;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits;
• modify, or create derivative works of, the Software;
• circumvent or attempt to circumvent licensing, usage metering, billing, or security measures;
• use the Software unlawfully or to infringe the rights of others.

6. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. Fulcrum VDC and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in this Agreement.

7. Your data

Files you process with the Software are handled locally on your computer and are not uploaded to us in normal operation. Our handling of account, usage, device, and download data is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING OUTPUT (INCLUDING THE ACCURACY AND SCANNABILITY OF GENERATED LABELS) BEFORE RELYING ON IT.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FULCRUM VDC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100.

10. Term & termination

This Agreement applies while you use the Software. It terminates automatically if you breach it. We may suspend or terminate your license as described in Section 3. On termination, you must stop using and remove the Software. Sections 6, 8, 9, and 11 survive termination.

11. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for disputes is the state and federal courts located in Michigan.

12. Changes

We may update this Agreement. Material changes take effect when we post the updated Agreement (with a new effective date). Continued use of the Software after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
