End User License Agreement

1. Agreement

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a binding agreement between you, either an individual or a single entity ("you"), and Cutvey LLC ("Cutvey", "we", "us") governing your use of the Cutvey Offload software application, including its executable code, bundled resources, and accompanying documentation (the "Software").

By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the Software.

2. License grant

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Cutvey grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use one copy of the Software on macOS computers that you own or control, for your own professional or personal purposes.

The Software is licensed, not sold. Cutvey reserves all rights not expressly granted.

3. Restrictions

Except to the extent that a restriction below is prohibited by applicable law, or is expressly permitted for a Third-Party Component under Section 7, you may not:

redistribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, or otherwise make the Software available to any third party, or extract, separate, or redistribute any component of the Software — including the bundled third-party runtime components (the RED R3D runtime library and the Blackmagic RAW API library) — apart from the Software as a whole;
modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or attempt to derive its source code or the file formats it reads or writes;
remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, license, or attribution notice in or accompanying the Software, including the notices described in Section 7;
circumvent or disable any licensing, security, or integrity mechanism of the Software; or
use the Software in violation of any applicable law.

The restrictions in items 1 through 5 apply to the bundled third-party runtime components named in item 1 to the same extent as they apply to the rest of the Software. Cutvey grants you no right in any such component that Cutvey does not itself hold, and no right to use any such component except as an integral part of the Software. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph does not apply to the components governed by Section 7.1, whose own license controls.

4. Ownership and intellectual property

The Software is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Cutvey and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all copies, modifications, and derivative works, and all intellectual property rights therein.

The Cutvey and Cutvey Offload names, logos, artwork, and interface design are the property of Cutvey LLC.

5. Your data and your footage

You retain all rights to any media, metadata, manifests, reports, logs, and other content you process with, or that is generated by, the Software ("Your Content"). Cutvey claims no ownership of Your Content.

The Software runs locally on your computer. Cutvey does not receive, collect, or transmit Your Content, except where you explicitly configure the Software to send data to a destination or service you have chosen (for example an object-storage bucket or a notification endpoint you configure). Any such transmission is to a destination you select and control, and is governed by your agreement with that provider, not by this Agreement.

6. Backup, data loss, and Safe Erase — READ THIS SECTION

The Software copies, moves, verifies, and can permanently delete or render inaccessible irreplaceable data, including original camera media. You acknowledge and agree that:

You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of all media and data before, during, and after using the Software. The Software's verification features are not a substitute for redundant copies on separate physical devices.
You are solely responsible for verifying that a transfer completed successfully, and that delivered media is complete and readable, before erasing, reformatting, reusing, or discarding any source card, drive, or other original media.
The "Safe Erase" feature writes directly to a raw storage device with elevated (administrator) privileges, and deliberately renders the device's filesystem unreadable. Although this feature is designed to be reversible, reversal is not guaranteed, and the feature may render a device, and all data on it, permanently inaccessible. You use it entirely at your own risk, and only on devices whose contents you have independently confirmed are backed up elsewhere.
Hardware fails. Memory cards, drives, cables, readers, enclosures, and filesystems can fail, silently corrupt data, or misreport their state in ways no software can detect or prevent.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cutvey is not liable for any loss, corruption, deletion, or inaccessibility of any data or media, however caused, including where it arises from a defect in the Software.

7. Third-party components

The Software includes or interoperates with materials owned by third parties. This Section governs those materials, and prevails over any conflicting term of this Agreement.

7.1 FFmpeg (LGPL)

The Software distributes the ffmpeg and ffprobe executables, which are licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 or later ("LGPL") — not under this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement limits, restricts, or conditions any right the LGPL grants you in respect of those components, including your right to obtain their corresponding source code, to modify them, and to substitute your own build of them. In particular, the restrictions in Section 3 do not apply to those components. Where this Agreement and the LGPL conflict as to those components, the LGPL controls.

The applicable notices, the full LGPL text, and instructions for obtaining the source and substituting your own build are provided with the Software in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md and COPYING.LGPLv2.1, and may also be requested at contact@cutvey.com.

7.2 Third-party names, marks, and formats

The Software reads and reports on media formats created by third parties. All third-party product names, company names, trademarks, service marks, logos, file formats, and intellectual property referenced in the Software or its documentation are the property of their respective owners. This includes, without limitation:

RED, R3D, and associated names, logos, and intellectual property, which belong to their respective owner;
Blackmagic Design, Blackmagic RAW, BRAW, and associated names, logos, and intellectual property, which belong to their respective owner.

Such references are made solely for identification, interoperability, and descriptive purposes. They do not indicate any affiliation with, sponsorship by, endorsement by, or partnership with those owners, and no such affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or partnership is claimed.

Your use of any third-party software development kit, codec, runtime, or other third-party component in connection with the Software is governed by that third party's own terms, and is a matter between you and that third party.

If you require any other software or firmware from RED Digital Cinema, or from Blackmagic Design, in order to use the Software or to work with the media it processes, you must obtain a license for that software or firmware directly from its owner and comply with that owner's own license terms. Cutvey grants no license or other right in any such software or firmware, and nothing in this Agreement entitles you to it.

8. Updates and support

Cutvey may, but is not obligated to, provide updates, upgrades, bug fixes, or new versions of the Software. Any such release is governed by this Agreement unless it is accompanied by its own licence terms, in which case those terms govern that release.

The Software may check a Cutvey-operated endpoint for the availability of a newer version. This check transmits no personal data and no user content.

Support is provided at Cutvey's discretion and on a commercially reasonable-efforts basis, with no committed response time unless separately agreed in writing. Support enquiries: contact@cutvey.com.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CUTVEY AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CUTVEY AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT IT WILL DETECT EVERY INSTANCE OF DATA CORRUPTION OR HARDWARE FAILURE, THAT ANY TRANSFER, VERIFICATION, OR CHECKSUM WILL BE COMPLETE OR ACCURATE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, OR THAT ANY ERASED OR MODIFIED DEVICE CAN BE RESTORED.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CUTVEY AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF MEDIA OR FOOTAGE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF BUSINESS, COST OF RESHOOTING, COST OF DATA RECOVERY, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and whether or not Cutvey has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CUTVEY'S AND ITS SUPPLIERS' TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID CUTVEY FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US $50.00).

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

11. Term and termination

This Agreement takes effect when you first install or use the Software and continues until terminated.

It terminates automatically and immediately if you breach any of its terms. Cutvey may also terminate it on notice. On termination you must cease all use of the Software and delete all copies in your possession or control.

Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 13 survive termination. Termination does not affect any rights the LGPL grants you in the components described in Section 7.1, which continue independently of this Agreement.

12. Governing law and venue

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software is the state or federal courts located in Orange County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. General

Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the third-party notices it incorporates, is the entire agreement between you and Cutvey regarding the Software, and supersedes all prior understandings on that subject.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions stay in full force.
No waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement. Cutvey may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Export. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Software in, any jurisdiction subject to a US embargo prohibiting such use.
US Government end users. The Software is "commercial computer software" under FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202, licensed with only the rights granted to all other end users.
Changes. Cutvey may update this Agreement for future versions of the Software. The version accompanying a release governs that release.
