InstaDocs — End-User Licence Agreement

Effective date: 20 May 2026 Licensor: Appz Dev Solutions (“we”, “us”, “our”) Contact: legal@appz.dev

This End-User Licence Agreement (“Agreement”) is a binding legal contract between you (the “Licensee”, “you”, or “your”) and Appz Dev Solutions governing your use of the InstaDocs software application, including all updates, components, and accompanying documentation (collectively, the “Software”). By installing, copying, or otherwise using the Software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use the Software.

1. Definitions

1.1 “Software” means the InstaDocs application, all object code and executable files distributed by us, all updates and patches we make available, all documentation, sample data, configuration templates, and any associated files.

1.2 “Licence Key” means the cryptographically signed token we issue to authorise your use of the Software on a specific Machine.

1.3 “Machine” means a single physical or virtual computer identified by the hardware fingerprint that the Software computes at install time. A Licence Key is bound to one Machine.

1.4 “Operator” means a natural person using the Software on a Machine licensed to you.

1.5 “Documentation” means the user-facing files we publish alongside the Software, including the README, in-app help, and release notes.

2. Grant of Licence

2.1 Subject to your continuing compliance with this Agreement and payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and use one (1) copy of the Software on each Machine for which you hold a valid Licence Key.

2.2 You may install the Software on additional Machines only by obtaining additional Licence Keys for each such Machine.

2.3 Implicit trial. A newly installed Machine receives a fifteen (15) calendar day implicit trial that does not require a Licence Key. The trial expires automatically. Continued use beyond the trial period requires a paid Licence Key.

2.4 The Software remains our property at all times. This is a licence agreement, not a sale. No title in the Software is transferred to you.

3. Restrictions

You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

3.1 Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, structure, ideas, algorithms, or associated trade secrets of the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits such activity notwithstanding this restriction.

3.2 Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software.

3.3 Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any licensing, verification, copy-protection, or anti-tamper mechanism within the Software, including but not limited to the Ed25519-signed Licence Key mechanism, the binary-integrity check, and the trial-state tamper detection.

3.4 Sell, lease, rent, distribute, sublicense, redistribute, or otherwise transfer the Software or any Licence Key to any third party.

3.5 Use the Software in any service-bureau, time-sharing, software-as-a-service, or similar arrangement under which third parties access the Software’s functionality without each holding their own Licence Key.

3.6 Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary-rights notice on or in the Software.

3.7 Use the Software for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that would cause us to violate any law, regulation, or third-party right.

4. Intellectual Property

4.1 We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights therein. All rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement are reserved.

4.2 The Software incorporates third-party components distributed under their own licences (including but not limited to PySide6, OpenCV, Tesseract, and PaddleOCR). Your use of those components is governed by their respective licences, copies of which are included with the Software distribution.

4.3 Any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or improvement proposals you provide to us regarding the Software may be used by us without restriction and without compensation to you.

5. Term and Termination

5.1 This Agreement commences on the date you first install or use the Software and continues until terminated as set out below.

5.2 This Agreement terminates automatically and immediately if you breach any of its terms. We may also terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days’ written notice for any reason.

5.3 Your Licence Key has an expiry date encoded in the token. Continued use beyond that date requires a renewed Licence Key.

5.4 On termination, you must cease all use of the Software, uninstall all copies from all Machines, and destroy or delete any remaining files. Sections 3 (Restrictions), 4 (Intellectual Property), 6 (Warranty Disclaimer), 7 (Limitation of Liability), 8 (Data Handling), and 10 (Governing Law) survive termination.

6. Warranty Disclaimer

6.1 The Software is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranty of any kind, express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of output, or uninterrupted operation.

6.2 Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

• the Software will detect every defect, mis-orientation, blank page, or mirroring in scanned documents;
• the Software will preserve all source bytes during in-place processing in every operating condition;
• the Software will operate uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components;
• the Software will be compatible with any specific hardware, operating-system version, or third-party software not expressly identified in the Documentation as supported.

6.3 You acknowledge that the Software is a quality-control tool intended to augment, not replace, human review of scanned documents. You assume sole responsibility for the integrity of the documents processed by the Software and for the accuracy of any decisions made on the basis of the Software’s output.

6.4 Critical practice. We strongly recommend that you maintain independent backups of all source documents before invoking the Software’s in-place processing mode (--in-place). The Software’s built-in backup mechanism is provided on an “as is” basis and may fail in conditions outside our control.

7. Limitation of Liability

7.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we, our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable to you or any third party for any:

• indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages;
• loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or loss of use;
• procurement of substitute goods or services;

arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or your use of or inability to use the Software, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if a remedy set forth in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

7.2 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you actually paid us for the Software during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one thousand Indian Rupees (INR 1,000).

7.3 Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraud.

8. Data Handling and Privacy

8.1 Local processing. All document content the Software processes — including scanned TIFFs, derived intermediate images, extracted text, and per-page metadata — is processed locally on the Machine. No document content is transmitted to us or to any third party as part of the Software’s normal operation.

8.2 Network activity. The Software performs network operations only for the following purposes:

• Update checking, when the Operator selects “Check for updates…” or when an opt-in scheduled check fires. This contacts our update CDN (currently get.appz.dev) to retrieve a version pointer and, if the Operator confirms, downloads the new installer or delta. No document content is sent.
• Licence verification is performed entirely offline. The Software validates the Ed25519 signature on your Licence Key against a public key bundled with the Software. No outbound network call is made for licence verification.

8.3 Telemetry. The Software does not collect, record, or transmit usage telemetry, crash reports, document content, file names, machine identifiers, or any other data to us without your explicit, action-driven consent.

8.4 Local logs and history. The Software maintains a local SQLite database, log files, and a backup directory on the Machine, all of which contain references to document paths, processing parameters, and per-file outcomes. These files reside under the Operator’s user-data directory and are not transmitted off the Machine. You are responsible for managing access to these local files in accordance with your organisation’s data-handling policies.

9. Compliance and Export

9.1 You shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your use of the Software, including data-protection, anti-bribery, and export-control laws.

9.2 The Software may not be exported, re-exported, transferred, or made available to any country, person, or entity subject to trade sanctions imposed by the Government of India.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

10.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

10.2 Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

11. General Provisions

11.1 Entire agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether oral or written.

11.2 Amendments. We may revise this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be notified through the Software’s release notes or in-app notice. Your continued use of the Software after such notice constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

11.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent.

11.4 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of our right to enforce that or any other provision later.

11.5 Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement in connection with a sale of our business or assets.

11.6 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, civil unrest, natural disaster, power or telecommunications failure, or governmental action.

By installing or using InstaDocs, you acknowledge that you have read this Agreement, understand it, and agree to be bound by its terms.
