End User License Agreement

DRAFT — pending legal review. This is a working draft published for transparency. It has not yet been reviewed by an attorney and is not yet in force. Notes marked [ATTORNEY: …] are open questions for that review.

Last updated: August 2, 2026 · Draft — not yet in force

This is the license for the Saykeep desktop application: the agreement between you and [ATTORNEY: licensor’s legal name, form, and registered address] (“we”). It is deliberately written in plain language. The purchase itself — payment, taxes, invoices — happens through Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record under the Terms of Sale. Installing or using Saykeep means you accept this license.

1. The license

When you buy Saykeep, and during the free trial, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the app on all the machines you personally use. One human, any number of their own computers: a work laptop and a home desktop are both covered by the same key. It is not a floating seat, a family plan, or a license for a shared machine used by several people; each person needs their own license.

2. What the license doesn’t allow

Standard restrictions, worth stating plainly. You may not:

redistribute the app or your license key — no reselling, renting, sublicensing, bundling, or publishing the key;
reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits it despite this clause — for example the EU interoperability carve-outs for software [ATTORNEY: verify the carve-out reference and scope];
circumvent the trial clock or the license check, or help others do so;
remove or alter proprietary notices in the app or its files;
use Saykeep in violation of law — including recording-consent law, which section 6 is about.

3. The license key

Your key is a signed license verified offline against a public key compiled into the app. There is no activation server, no account, and no phone-home; the app never contacts us to check your license. Keep the key confidential, like a password. It re-activates anywhere by pasting it again — that is the whole mechanism, on every machine you personally use.

4. The trial

The 30-day trial is the full app under this same license, limited in time instead of features. When it ends, new capture is gated but your existing recordings stay browsable and exportable; we gate compute, never your files. Resetting or circumventing the trial clock is a breach of this license.

5. Updates and upgrades

Every v1.x update is free, and we commit to keeping v1 working through at least the current and the next major macOS release. A future major version (v2.0) may be an optional paid upgrade at an owner discount. Your v1 license has no expiry and no kill switch: declining an upgrade never disables what you bought.

6. Your recordings, your responsibility

Everything Saykeep produces on your machine — audio, transcripts, speaker labels, summaries — is yours. This license gives us no rights over your content, and the app sends it nowhere except the LLM endpoint you configure. The flip side: you are responsible for using Saykeep lawfully. Recording laws differ by jurisdiction, and some require every participant’s consent; the app keeps recording unmistakably visible so consent is possible, but obtaining it is your job, as the consent FAQ explains in detail.

7. Privacy

No telemetry, no analytics, no accounts, no cloud sync — not switched off, but absent from the code, and verifiable. The privacy page and its NETWORK.md annex enumerate every connection the app can make.

8. Third-party components

Saykeep ships with open-source components, each under its own license. Those licenses govern those components, and where they grant you rights, this EULA cannot take them away. The acknowledgements list ships with the app. [ENG: confirm the in-app open-source acknowledgements list is present at release]

9. Warranties and liability

We build Saykeep with care, and the Refund Policy is the practical warranty: if it doesn’t work for you, you get your money back. Beyond that, to the extent the law that applies to you permits: the app is provided “as is”, implied warranties are disclaimed, and our total liability under this EULA is limited to what you paid for your license. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, and nothing here limits your mandatory consumer rights, including digital-content conformity rights under EU and Polish law. [ATTORNEY: verify against Polish/EU consumer and digital-content-conformity rules]

10. Term and termination

This license runs until terminated. It ends automatically if you materially breach it — in particular section 2 — and it ends when you are refunded, at which point you delete the app and stop using the key. Sections that by their nature should survive (your ownership of your content, liability limits, governing law) survive termination.

11. Governing law

This EULA is governed by the law of Poland [ATTORNEY: confirm the choice of law and consumer carve-outs]. If you are a consumer, the mandatory protections of the country where you live remain yours.

12. Changes

We may update this EULA for new versions or new purchases. The version you accepted with your app version is the one that applies to you; the date at the top marks the current revision.

13. Language

This EULA is written in English and translated into Polish for convenience. If the versions diverge, the English version controls. [ATTORNEY: verify a controlling-language clause holds toward Polish consumers]
