EULA

This Agreement is a binding contract between you and the Licensor covering the pre-alpha release of the Sycrad desktop application (the "Software").

You accept this Agreement by creating an account, installing, launching, or using the Software. If you do not accept it, do not create an account, install, or use the Software.

Two things worth knowing before you read further:

• The Software is provided free of charge and is early, unfinished software. It will contain defects. It may lose your work.
• Commercial use is not permitted in this release. See section 4.

This Agreement covers the pre-alpha release only: the Software, the account and licence service that authorises it, and the website you use to request access. It does not describe or promise any future release, edition, price, or feature.

3.1 Access to the pre-alpha is granted by us, by approving an account you request on our website. We may approve or decline any request at our discretion, and we do not have to give a reason.

3.2 Your account is personal to you. Do not share your credentials, and do not let anyone else use the Software through your account.

3.3 The Software checks with our servers that your account is active while it runs. If it cannot, or if your account is not active, it will stop working. This is by design and is not a defect.

3.4 We may suspend or end your access at any time, with or without notice. Because the Software is free, you are not entitled to a refund, credit, or compensation if we do.

4.1 Licence. Subject to this Agreement, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use the Software on computers you control, for evaluation and feedback purposes only, for as long as the pre-alpha runs.

4.2 No commercial use. You may not use the Software, or anything it produces, for commercial purposes. This includes production work, paid or client work, delivering annotations or datasets to a third party, and any internal use that forms part of a commercial product or service. Evaluating the Software inside a company in order to decide whether to adopt it later, and telling us what you think, is permitted and is exactly what this release is for.

4.3 You may not:

a. copy, publish, distribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, or host the Software, or make it available to anyone else as a service; b. reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction; c. bypass, disable, tamper with, or interfere with the account check, licence enforcement, or integrity-protection mechanisms — which are technological protection measures — or run the Software with those mechanisms defeated, or use a copy of the Software that has been patched or otherwise modified, or that you obtained from anyone other than us; d. develop, publish, distribute, sell, or otherwise make available any crack, patch, loader, key generator, emulator of our licence service, or any other tool or set of instructions whose purpose or effect is to do anything described in (b) or (c) — or help, encourage, or commission anyone else to do any of it; e. modify or adapt the Software, or create derivative works of it, other than the changes to the third-party open-source libraries that their own licences permit (see section 9); f. remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other notice; g. use the Software to build or improve a competing product; or h. use the Software unlawfully, or in breach of anyone else's rights.

4.4 Ownership. The Software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors keep all intellectual property rights in it. You get nothing beyond the licence in section 4.1.

This section describes what actually happens. It is a statement of fact about the Software, not a permission you are granting us.

5.1 Your point-cloud data never leaves your machine. Sycrad loads, processes, renders, annotates, and saves point clouds, projects, and annotations entirely on your own computer. We have no copy, no access, and no ability to retrieve them. This is a design property of the product, not a policy we could quietly change.

5.2 What the website collects when you request access: your email address, a password (stored only as a cryptographic hash), your first and last name, and the professional details you type into the request-access form.

5.3 What the Software sends us while it runs: the identifiers needed to confirm that your account is active and that the running copy has not been altered. This includes a device identifier, which is a SHA-256 hash derived from your computer's hardware identifiers. It is a one-way hash: it lets us tell two computers apart and tie your licence to one machine. It does not tell us your hardware serial numbers, and we cannot reverse it.

5.4 What the Software writes locally: a diagnostic record, encrypted, at ~/Library/Logs/Sycrad/diagnostics.bin on macOS and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sycrad\Logs\diagnostics.bin on Windows. It records events relevant to licence integrity, and contains the device identifier of 5.3 and a hash of the program code. It is never transmitted automatically. It leaves your computer only if you choose to send it to us for support, and only we can decrypt it.

5.5 We do not collect your point-cloud contents, file names, project contents, or annotations, and the Software contains no advertising or third-party analytics.

5.6 Our handling of the personal data in 5.2–5.4 is described in our Privacy Policy at sycrad.com/support/privacy. Where that policy and this Agreement conflict on privacy, the Privacy Policy governs.

5.7 Your data is your responsibility. You must have the right to process any dataset you load, and you are responsible for backing up your work.

6.1 THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6.2 In plain terms: this is unfinished software given to you for free. It may crash, corrupt or lose your work, produce wrong results, or stop working entirely. Do not rely on it, and do not use it as the only copy of anything you care about.

6.3 We do not promise that the Software will be available, error-free, uninterrupted, backward compatible, or supported. We may change it, break it, or discontinue it — including ending the pre-alpha altogether — at any time and without notice.

6.4 No warranty as to your hardware. The Software is computationally heavy by design: it renders large point clouds continuously on the GPU and runs the SLAM pipeline across every available CPU core, which sustains high processor, graphics, memory and storage load for as long as you use it. That is normal operation, not a fault.

You are responsible for the condition, cooling, power supply, configuration and limits of the hardware you run it on. We give no warranty of any kind that the Software is safe for, compatible with, or suitable for any particular hardware, and to the fullest extent permitted by law we are not liable for any damage to, degradation of, reduced lifespan of, instability of, or loss of use of any hardware — including processors, graphics cards, memory, storage devices, batteries, power supplies and cooling systems — arising out of or relating to the Software, nor for any data loss resulting from such an event.

This applies however the damage arises, including where the Software's load contributes to overheating, throttling, crashing, accelerated wear, or the failure of hardware that is faulty, overclocked, modified, inadequately cooled, or operated outside its manufacturer's specifications.

Run it on hardware you are willing to run at full load, and do not run it on a machine that is the only copy of anything you care about. Section 7 applies to any claim under this section.

6.5 We provide no support commitment. Any help we do give is voluntary.

7.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, nor for lost profits, lost revenue, lost or corrupted data, damage to or loss of use of hardware, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to the Software or this Agreement.

7.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, we have no liability whatsoever arising out of or relating to the Software or this Agreement, whether the claim is founded in contract, in tort (including negligence), in statute, or on any other basis. You pay nothing for the Software and you receive it as an unfinished, evaluation-only release.

7.3 If a court or other competent authority finds the exclusion in 7.2 to be unenforceable in whole or in part, that exclusion applies to the fullest extent the law does permit, and our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Software or this Agreement is in any event limited to the smallest amount that the applicable law allows to be agreed. The unenforceability of any part of 7.2 does not affect the rest of it.

7.4 Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

7.5 Sections 7.1 to 7.3 reflect a free, unfinished, evaluation-only release and are a basis on which we are willing to provide it at all.

If you send us feedback, bug reports, suggestions, or ideas, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to use them for any purpose, including in our products, with no obligation or payment to you. You keep the right to use your own feedback yourself. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.

The Software includes third-party open-source components under their own licences. They are listed, with the full text of every licence, in the THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt file distributed with the Software. Where a component's own licence conflicts with this Agreement in respect of that component, the component's licence governs that component. Two of those components (the Qt libraries and LASlib/LASzip) are licensed under the GNU LGPL, which gives you specific rights to modify and replace them; those rights are described in that file and are not restricted by section 4.3.

10.1 This Agreement starts when you first use the website to request access and runs until the end of the pre-alpha.

10.2 It terminates automatically if you breach it. We may also terminate it, or end the pre-alpha, at any time as set out in section 3.4.

10.3 On termination you must stop using the Software and remove it from your computers. Your locally stored projects and annotations remain yours and stay on your machine.

10.4 Sections 4.4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.3, 11, and 12 survive termination.

11.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

11.2 The Düzce Courts and Enforcement Offices have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

11.3 If you are a consumer, and the law of your country of residence gives you rights or a forum that cannot be excluded by contract, that law applies to that extent, and 11.1 and 11.2 do not take those rights away from you.

12.1 Whole agreement. This Agreement, with the Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement between us about the pre-alpha, and replaces anything said or written before it on that subject.

12.2 Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.

12.3 No waiver. If we do not enforce a right, we have not waived it.

12.4 Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement. We may assign it in connection with a reorganisation, or a transfer of the Sycrad business or its assets, including to a company we form.

12.5 Changes. We may change this Agreement for future use of the pre-alpha. If we do, we will make the new version available and update the version and effective date at the top. Continuing to use the Software after the new version's effective date means you accept it.

12.6 Export and sanctions. You must comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws, and you may not use the Software where doing so would breach them.

12.7 Language. This Agreement is made in English. A translation may be provided for convenience; if there is a conflict, the English text governs, except where mandatory local law requires otherwise.
