This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is between you and James Goodliffe

("the Author") and governs your use of the openEncoder application ("the Software").

By downloading, installing, or using the Software you agree to this Agreement. If you

do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. License grant

The Author grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,

non-transferable license to install and use the Software on devices you own or

control, for personal or commercial purposes.

2. Restrictions

You may not:

• sell, rent, lease, or redistribute the Software as your own product;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or attribution notices;
• use the Software in any way that violates applicable law.

3. Media content

You are solely responsible for the media you process with the Software, including

ensuring you hold the necessary rights to transcode, copy, or distribute that media.

4. Output formats and third-party trademarks

The Software encodes media into a number of established formats. "DXV" and "Resolume"

are trademarks of Resolume B.V.; "Hap" was developed by VIDVOX; "NotchLC" is a

trademark of Notch (10bit FX Limited); "Apple", "ProRes", and "QuickTime" are

trademarks of Apple Inc. The Author is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed

by any of these parties. Support for the DXV format is based on publicly available

reverse-engineering and is not certified by Resolume B.V.; verify output in your

playback software before relying on it in production.

5. Updates

The Software can check for and install updates using the Sparkle framework. Update

checks contact the Author's server and transmit standard request metadata (such as

app version and macOS version). No personal data is collected or sold. You can

disable automatic update checks in the Software's settings.

6. Intellectual property

The Software is licensed, not sold. The Author retains all rights, title, and

interest in the Software. Third-party components are used under their own licenses —

see the accompanying Third-Party Licenses document.

7. No warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE

SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ITS OUTPUT WILL BE SUITABLE

FOR ANY PARTICULAR WORKFLOW. ALWAYS TEST ENCODED OUTPUT BEFORE PRODUCTION USE.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR

ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING

LOSS OF DATA, LOST PROFITS, OR SHOW/EVENT INTERRUPTION) ARISING FROM THE USE OF, OR

INABILITY TO USE, THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER

APPLICABLE LAW.

9. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you

breach any of its terms, at which point you must delete all copies of the Software.

10. General

If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions

remain in full effect. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement regarding the

Software and supersedes any prior understanding.
