End User License Agreement

1. Agreement

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a contract between you (an individual or the organisation you act for) and the seller named below for the VectorCAD software, the VectorMEP module, their updates, sample files and documentation (together, the “Software”). By installing, activating or using the Software you accept this EULA. If you do not accept it, do not use the Software.

VectorCAD is developed and sold by an independent software developer based in Romania (“VectorCAD”, “we”, “us”). Contact: support@vectorcadmep.com.

2. The Software is licensed, not sold

The Software is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and international treaties. All rights, title and interest in the Software, including its code, user interface, icons, documentation and file-format implementations, remain with us and our licensors. You receive only the rights expressly granted in this EULA.

3. License grant

Subject to payment and to this EULA, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Software for your own personal or internal business purposes, including commercial design work:

• Subscription (monthly or annual): for as long as the subscription is active and paid.

• Perpetual license: without time limit for the versions released up to 12 months after the purchase date. Later versions need a renewal or a new license.

Each license may be active on up to 2 computers at the same time, used by the same person. You can move a license by deactivating it on one computer and activating it on another.

4. Restrictions

Except as expressly allowed by this EULA or by mandatory law, you may not:

• copy, distribute, publish, rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense or otherwise make the Software or a license key available to third parties, including through file sharing, download sites or shared accounts;

• share, publish, resell or use one license key on more computers or by more people than licensed;

• remove, bypass, disable, patch or tamper with license activation, license checks, signatures or other technical protection, or use or distribute key generators, cracks or modified copies;

• modify, translate, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Software, except to the extent that applicable law (in particular Articles 5 and 6 of Directive 2009/24/EC) permits it despite this restriction;

• remove or alter copyright notices, trademarks or this EULA;

• use the Software to build a competing product, or to train machine-learning models on its code.

Any use beyond this license is copyright infringement and may lead to civil and criminal liability.

5. Activation and license checks

The Software must be activated with a valid license key. Activation and periodic re-checks (about every 3 days when the computer is online) send the license key and a machine identifier to our license server. A signed activation token is stored on your computer so the Software also works offline. If a license is canceled, refunded, charged back, expired or used in breach of this EULA, we may deactivate it; the Software then stops working until a valid license is activated.

6. Your drawings and data

Drawings, models and other files you create or open with the Software belong to you. The Software does not upload them anywhere and contains no usage tracking.

7. Third-party components and trademarks

The Software includes third-party open-source components, each under its own license; see THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES and the licenses folder of the installation. Those licenses apply to those components only. AutoCAD and DWG are trademarks of Autodesk, Inc. VectorCAD is independent software and is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Autodesk.

8. Updates

We may provide updates that fix errors, add or change features, or are needed to keep the Software working. An update is covered by this EULA unless it comes with different terms.

9. Warranty

If you are a consumer, you have the legal rights for the conformity of digital content (Directive (EU) 2019/770, in Romania Government Emergency Ordinance 141/2021); nothing in this EULA limits them. Otherwise, and to the extent the law allows, the Software is provided “as is”. CAD output must be checked by a qualified person before it is used for construction, manufacturing or any safety-related purpose; you remain responsible for your designs and calculations.

10. Limitation of liability

We are fully liable for intent, gross negligence, and for death or personal injury caused by us, and as required by mandatory law. Otherwise, to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data or business interruption, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the license in the 12 months before the claim.

11. Termination

This EULA ends automatically if you breach it, and for subscriptions when the subscription ends. On termination you must stop using the Software and delete all copies. Sections 2, 4, 9, 10 and 12 survive termination.

12. Governing law

This EULA is governed by Romanian law. Courts in Romania have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence and may bring claims there.
