Terms of Use

1 · Scope and operator

These terms govern your use of the Filox macOS application and updates supplied for it (the “Software”). The provider is Bent Eisheuer, at the address stated in the Imprint.

2 · Current early-access status

Paid sales are not open. The download is a no-payment early-access preview that runs for 7 days from first launch and then locks. There is currently no way to purchase or extend access. The displayed €19 amount is the planned Germany-only one-time price, not a current offer to conclude a purchase contract.

3 · Permission to use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to install and use the Software on Macs you own or control during the applicable preview or licensed period. You retain all rights in your files and in output created from them.

4 · Restrictions

You must not:

• redistribute, sublicense, sell, rent, or lease the Software;
• circumvent or tamper with trial or licensing controls;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except where and to the extent applicable law expressly permits it; or
• use the Software to violate applicable law or third-party rights.

5 · Product behavior and privacy

File operations run on your Mac. Limited network requests support app updates and the pseudonymous trial anchor. Their data, purposes, recipients, and retention are described in our Privacy Policy.

6 · Intellectual property and components

The Software and Filox brand assets remain protected by the applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party and open-source components, including Sparkle, remain governed by their own licence notices. Those licences take priority for the relevant component where required.

7 · Updates and availability

The preview may change and may contain incomplete functionality. We may issue fixes or updates, and an update can be required for secure or correct operation. Any mandatory statutory update obligations and other consumer rights remain unaffected. For a paid core licence, updates we release for that licence are included without an additional core fee; this does not promise a particular future feature or an unlimited support period beyond mandatory law.

8 · Defects, liability, and mandatory rights

Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, product liability, and mandatory consumer rights. In all other respects, the statutory rules apply.

9 · End of permission

Preview permission ends automatically when the 7-day period expires. We may end permission for a material breach of these terms after any legally required notice or cure opportunity. Mandatory rights and claims that arose before termination remain unaffected.

10 · Governing law

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections of the country in which you habitually reside.
