By installing, copying, accessing, or using the Software, you agree to this EULA. If you do not agree, do not use the Software. For current contact details and postal address, please refer to the Licensor's websites listed above. 0. DEFINITIONS "Consumer" means a User acting outside their trade, business, craft, or profession. "Business User" means a User acting within their trade, business, craft, or profession, including use by or for an organization. "Commercial Use" means use of the Software (a) in business or professional activity, (b) to provide services to others, or (c) for compensation or other business advantage. "Data Recovery Services" means performing data recovery, diagnostics, or similar services for third parties in the course of business, including as part of IT/repair/maintenance services. Recovering data only for your own internal needs is not "Data Recovery Services". "OS Family" means an operating system platform (for example: Windows, macOS, Linux, DOS). "License Copy" (or "License") means one licensing seat (not a file copy). If the number of License Copies is not specified, you are granted one (1) License Copy. 1. GRANT OF LICENSE 1.0. EDITION AND LICENSE COPIES Your rights depend on the Edition (license type), supported OS families, and the number of License Copies. The "About" box (Software "Help" menu) shows the Edition, number of License Copies, and expiration date. If no expiration date is specified, there is no time limit. 1.1. FREE EDITION For the Free Edition, only paragraphs 0, 1.1, 5, 6, and 7 apply. You may use the Free Edition only for non-commercial purposes (not for Commercial Use), including by charitable organizations, for education, and for evaluation. The Free Edition allows recovery of up to 4000 files per request from the active file panel (from the selected directory, without nested directories). You may distribute unmodified Free Edition copies only if obtained from the Licensor or the Licensor's websites; keys/components of other Editions are not included; and the origin, authorship, and this EULA are provided clearly to the end user. Free Edition may be included in free or paid packages. 1.2. PAID EDITIONS 1.2.1. "EXPRESS" AND "PERSONAL" Personal, non-commercial use only. Business Users may not use these Editions, and any Commercial Use is prohibited. 1.2.2. "STANDARD" Personal use and internal business use only. Business Users that offer Data Recovery Services to third parties may not use the Software under the "Standard" Edition. 1.2.3. "PROFESSIONAL" Commercial use is permitted, including providing Data Recovery Services. 1.3. RUNNING AND STORAGE You may run as many concurrent instances of the Software as the number of License Copies you are granted; running on additional computers requires additional License Copies and is subject to activation rules in paragraph 2. You may create and store up to two (2) additional file copies of the Software beyond the number of License Copies, including backups. One stored copy may include multiple versions in one data store. 2. ACTIVATION Activation unlocks the full functionality of the Software. During activation, a code identifying the hardware or portable device is sent to the Licensor's activation services to obtain an activation code. This is used for license validation and anti-abuse protection. For privacy information, please refer to the Licensor's websites. Unless stated otherwise, the limits in this paragraph 2 apply per License Copy. If activation is blocked under this paragraph 2, you may contact the Licensor to request manual review for legitimate cases, subject to anti-fraud checks. With a "1-OS" license, you may activate only Software versions for the OS Family selected during the first activation. A "Multi-OS" license allows activation for different OS families. After license expiry, you may continue to run the Software only in the same environment in which it was activated, but support, reactivation, and functionality guarantees will no longer be provided. 2.1. STATIONARY ACTIVATION Stationary activation binds a License Copy to a computer hardware configuration. Activation may be automatically blocked if you change more than three (3) hardware configurations per 12-month period per License Copy. CPU or motherboard changes, or additional virtualization, count as hardware changes; other environment changes may also require reactivation. Manual review is available as described in paragraph 2. 2.2. PORTABLE ACTIVATION ("PROFESSIONAL" EDITION ONLY) Portable activation binds a License Copy to a connected portable device, allowing use on different computers while the device is connected. Activation may be automatically blocked if you bind a License Copy to more than three (3) devices per 12-month period. Manual review is available as described in paragraph 2. 2.3. ONE-TIME ACTIVATION ("PROFESSIONAL" EDITION ONLY) Using one-time passwords, you may additionally run the Software up to five (5) times per month on different computers per License Copy. 3. SOFTWARE UPDATES Updates may require acceptance of a new license agreement for that version. If you do not accept the new agreement, you may continue to use the version you already have under the terms that applied to it, subject to license expiration and support status. You may also use earlier versions under this EULA. Newer versions are subject to their own terms if presented. Hardware identification may differ between versions and may affect activation limits under paragraph 2. 4. SOFTWARE UPGRADES An upgrade changes the licensed set, the number of License Copies, or the Edition. After an upgrade, the new agreement supersedes the previous one, and you may no longer use keys or components from the previous license. 5. OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS; TERMINATION You may not use the Software except as permitted by law, this EULA, and any additional agreements with the Licensor. You may not create derivative works, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise study the Software code, or sell, rent, lease, or sublicense the Software, except where applicable law permits. This EULA remains effective until terminated. The Licensor may terminate it if you materially breach and do not cure within a reasonable time after notice (where cure is possible). Upon termination, you must stop using the Software and destroy all copies in your possession or control. 6. LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY The Software and documentation are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non- infringement.

Nothing in this EULA affects those rights. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Licensor is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of use of, or inability to use, the Software (including data loss, loss of profits, business interruption, or loss of privacy), even if advised of the possibility. Business users: to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Licensor's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Software or this EULA shall not exceed the fees paid by you for the license giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability. 7. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, AND SEVERABILITY Consumers: this paragraph 7 does not override mandatory consumer rules on jurisdiction. Business users: this EULA is governed by the laws of Spain, excluding conflict of laws rules. The courts of the Licensor's place of establishment in Spain shall have exclusive jurisdiction for disputes arising under this EULA. If any provision of this EULA is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
