License Agreement

This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and Juha Berglund (“Developer”) for the Seula software application and any associated documentation (the “Software”).

Copies obtained through the Mac App Store are governed by Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, except where this Agreement grants you additional rights.

By installing, copying, or using the Software, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. License grant

The Developer grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for the purpose of viewing and managing images.

2. Pricing: honor-based professional license

The Software is free of charge for personal, non-commercial use. Professional or commercial use is permitted. Users who find Seula valuable in a professional context are encouraged to purchase a professional license (EUR 14.99). This is an honor-based request: all features are available to everyone regardless of payment.

3. Restrictions

You may not, except as permitted by applicable law:

reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software;
modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the Software;
rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Software;
remove or alter any proprietary notices on the Software.

4. Acceptable use

You may not use the Software for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable law — including to view, store, produce, or distribute material that is illegal to possess, that depicts the sexual abuse of children, or that depicts the abuse or cruel treatment of animals. The Software merely displays files you provide; you are solely responsible for the content you open with it and for ensuring your use complies with the law.

5. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. The Developer retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. “Seula” and its logos are trademarks of the Developer.

6. Privacy

The Software does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on the Developer’s servers. See the Privacy Policy for details.

7. File operations and data integrity

At your request, Seula can perform operations on your files — for example organizing them, renaming them, or writing star ratings and other metadata into them. Because these operations change your files, please keep the following in mind:

You are responsible for reviewing the results of any operation before relying on them for any important purpose.
You are responsible for keeping backups of files that matter to you.
The Developer does not guarantee that any files, metadata, ratings, tags, or other data processed by the Software will remain unchanged or available after use of the Software.
Seula is not intended to replace a backup system, an archival system, or a professional digital asset management system, and should not be your only place of storage for important files.

8. Disclaimer of warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. The Developer does not warrant that the Software will be error-free, operate without interruption, or that all operations performed by the Software will always produce the intended result. You use the Software at your own risk, and you are responsible for maintaining backups.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO FILES, IMAGES, METADATA, OR OTHER DATA — INCLUDING ANY CORRUPTION, ALTERATION, OR INABILITY TO RECOVER DATA — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE DEVELOPER’S TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE, IF ANY. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability, or affects any mandatory consumer protection rights, that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

10. Third-party components

The Software may include or rely on third-party components, libraries, or materials, which remain subject to their own license terms. Those terms apply to your use of the respective components. The Developer provides no warranty for, and assumes no responsibility for, the operation of any third-party components.

11. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach its terms. Upon termination you must stop using and delete all copies of the Software.

12. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Finland, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions, and subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights you have in your country of residence.
