End-User License Agreement

This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and Adjective LLC ("we", "us") covering the Inksign desktop application and its bundled components (the "Software"). By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software. This same Agreement accompanies every download.

The Inksign source code is proprietary and governed separately; this Agreement grants no rights to the source, only to your use of the distributed application builds.

1. License grant

We grant you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for your own personal or internal business purposes. The Software is provided free of charge.

2. What you may not do

Except where a right cannot be restricted by applicable law, you may not:

• sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or redistribute the Software;
• modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or attempt to derive its source code;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices; or
• use the Software in violation of applicable law.

Third-party open-source components bundled with the Software remain under their own licenses, which continue to govern those components and which this Agreement does not restrict.

3. Your keys and your documents

The Software is local-first. Your private keys and the documents you sign stay on your machine; the Software transmits no telemetry and uploads nothing to us. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your private keys and signing certificates. We cannot recover a lost key and have no access to your key material.

4. Signatures and legal validity

The Software produces standards-based PAdES digital signatures. Whether any particular signature is legally binding or admissible depends on factors outside our control — chiefly the certificate you sign with and the law of the relevant jurisdiction (for example, eIDAS in the EU or ESIGN/UETA in the US).

We do not certify, guarantee, or warrant the legal enforceability of any signature produced with the Software, and nothing in this Agreement is legal advice. For requirements specific to your situation, consult a qualified professional.

5. No warranty

The Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. You are responsible for verifying that signed documents meet your needs before relying on them.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Adjective LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Software. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability under this Agreement will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US $100).

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adjective LLC and its members, officers, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of the documents you sign or process with the Software, your use of the Software, your breach of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

8. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Georgia for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

9. Severability & entire agreement

If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect, and our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. This Agreement, together with the Terms & Disclaimer, is the entire agreement between you and Adjective LLC regarding the Software.

10. Termination

This license ends automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using the Software and remove all copies. Sections 3 through 9 survive termination.
