EULA

Last Modified: Mar 13, 2021

This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") hereby binds an individual, company, or other legal entity (“Customer” or “You”) and PlotDigitizer (plotdigitizer.com) ("Licensor" or “We” or “”) into a legal agreement for the software.

The software is licensed, not sold. PlotDigitizer's offline software is commercial, and you have to purchase a license to use it, while the online software is free for online use. However, both, offline and online, are proprietary. You are not allowed to modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer either of the software programs.

The software (PlotDigitizer Pro) is also distributed via third-party channels as freely downloadable trial software. These copies are licensed as shareware. However, we take no responsibility for maintaining the genuineness and authenticity of these copies and are not liable for any damages or loss that occurred to end-users from these copies. We grant no rights and permissions to any third parties to resell or sublicense our software programs. The only way to purchase the license is via our website.

PlotDigitizer and all of its works, including, but not limited to, scripts, source codes, text, logos, images, graphics, vectors, artwork, design, audios, videos, offline software, website, and online software, are protected by copyright and intellectual property laws and treaties as well as by international copyright laws and treaties.

By downloading, installing, using, or accessing the software, you represent that you purchased the software from an approved source (plotdigitizer.com), and you agree to be bound by all the terms of the EULA.

If you, an individual, company, or other legal entity, are accepting these terms on behalf of another individual, company, or other legal entity, you agree and warrant that you have complete authority to bind that individual, company, or legal entity to this agreement.

If you do not agree to these terms:

1. do not download, copy, install, access, or use the software;
2. subsequently abort the installation or uninstall the software;
3. and promptly delete the software and its files.

Intellectual property and copyrights

Ownership: Title to the software, documentation (official explanatory materials), updates (all subsequent releases and versions of the software), copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, and other worldwide proprietary and intellectual property rights in or related thereto are and will remain the exclusive property of PlotDigitizer.

You may not remove any titles, copyrighted works, trademarks or trade names, copyright notices, legends, or other proprietary symbols and markings in or on the software and documentation. You will not acquire any rights in the software, except the limited license specified in this agreement.

Any form of derivative works (modification, revision, enhancement, translation, abridgment, expansion, adaption, or condensation of the software or any other form) without the consent of PlotDigitizer would constitute a copyright infringement.
