2. Licence Grant

2.1 Subject to payment of applicable fees and compliance with this EULA, Astute Graphics grants you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Software during your active subscription term, solely for your internal business purposes. Use of the Services may be subject to reasonable fair use limits on storage and bandwidth as described in the Acceptable Use Policy.

2.2 For Free Assets (including textures, brushes, graphics styles, workspaces, Reform profiles and Texturino textures), you are granted a perpetual, non‑exclusive, worldwide licence to use and modify them in personal and commercial projects, without attribution, but you may not resell, sublicense, redistribute, or make the assets available as standalone files.

3. Restrictions

3.1 You must not:

(a) copy the Software except for a single reasonable backup;

(b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law;

(c) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or distribute the Software;

(d) remove or obscure proprietary notices;

(e) use the Software to develop a competing product or service;

(f) circumvent technical protection measures or licence controls; or

(g) use the Software in Restricted Jurisdictions.

3.2 The Software is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Astute Graphics and its licensors. These restrictions also apply to third‑party scripts, extensions, and add‑ons distributed through the Astute Manager.

4. Open Source and Third‑Party Components

4.1 The Software may contain or be provided with open-source software (“OSS”), including the Google Chromium engine, Illustrator scripts, extensions, APIs, and other components. To the extent required by the applicable OSS licences, those terms apply in lieu of this EULA for that OSS.

4.2 Astute Graphics will provide copies of, or links to, the relevant OSS licence texts and copyright notices within the Software, in its documentation, or at an online location accessible to users. Where required (for example, under the LGPL), Astute Graphics will also make available the corresponding source code or information on how to obtain it.

4.3 Selected third‑party scripts or extensions distributed by Astute Graphics are provided “as is” and may be subject to third‑party licence terms.

5. Updates and Changes

5.1 Astute Graphics may provide updates or new versions of the Software. Updates may be required to continue using the Services.

5.2 Feature changes may be introduced from time to time. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated EULA where applicable. Service availability and uptime are not guaranteed and may be interrupted for maintenance, technical issues, or failures of third‑party infrastructure or hosting providers on which the Services rely.

6. Activation and Internet Access

6.1 The Software uses the Astute Manager for installation, activation, and licence verification. An internet connection is required at installation and periodically thereafter.

6.2 You consent to the Software transmitting minimal technical information necessary for activation, update checks, and licence enforcement.

7. Ownership and Intellectual Property

7.1 Astute Graphics and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software and all related intellectual property rights. Astute Graphics makes no claim over user-uploaded Assets. User Assets remain your property at all times. By using the Services, you grant Astute Graphics only the limited rights necessary to host, store, and transmit Assets for the purpose of providing the Services. Astute Graphics will not use User Assets for AI model training, data mining, or any purpose other than delivering and maintaining the Services.

7.2 Any feedback you provide may be used by Astute Graphics without restriction.

8. Warranty Disclaimer

8.1 The Software is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Astute Graphics disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement.

9. Limitation of Liability

9.1 Nothing in this EULA limits liability that cannot legally be limited. Subject to that, Astute Graphics shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or business. Astute Graphics’ aggregate liability under this EULA shall not exceed the fees paid for the Software in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. For clarity, Astute Graphics is not liable for any data loss after termination or beyond its control, as described in the Data Storage & Deletion Policy and Trust & Security Statement, and is not liable for outages or failures caused by third‑party hosting, infrastructure, or network providers.

10. Termination

10.1 This EULA remains in effect while you use the Software in any capacity (including free use of the Astute Manager) and comply with its terms.

10.2 If you have a paid subscription, the licence to the subscription-only components of the Software will terminate automatically if that subscription ends.

10.3 We may terminate your rights under this EULA (including free-use rights) immediately if you materially breach this EULA or the Acceptable Use Policy.

10.4 Upon termination of all rights under this EULA, you must cease all use of the Software and uninstall all copies. Sections intended to survive shall survive. Deletion of stored Assets following termination is governed by the Data Storage & Deletion Policy.

11. Severability

11.1 In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
