End User Licence Agreement
This is the agreement that governs your use of Flint. It is the same text the Windows installer presents, the same text included in every download, and the same text the application shows under Settings › Legal — this page is generated from that file, so the two cannot drift apart.
Personal data is dealt with in Article 10 below, and, in more detail and as it actually works today, in the Privacy Notice. Where the two differ, the Privacy Notice governs.
Copyright (c) 2026 Vatt Labs LLC. All rights reserved.
Version 1.0. Effective 13 September 2026.
IMPORTANT — READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE. This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a binding legal agreement between you, either an individual or a single legal entity ("you"), and Vatt Labs LLC ("Licensor", "we", "us"). By installing, copying, activating, accessing or otherwise using the Software, you accept this Agreement and agree to be bound by it. If you do not agree, do not install, copy or use the Software, and remove any copy in your possession.
If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.
1. Definitions
1.1 "Software" means the Flint software application supplied by Licensor in object-code form, together with any documentation, updates, upgrades, patches, components, sample assets and online services that Licensor makes available in connection with it.
1.2 "Third-Party Components" means software, libraries, models, assets or other materials supplied by parties other than Licensor that are distributed with, linked into, downloaded by or otherwise used by the Software, and that are licensed under their own terms. Article 8 governs them.
1.3 "Your Content" means any media, projects, files, text or other material that you import into, create with, or process using the Software.
1.4 "License Key" means a credential issued by or on behalf of Licensor that enables licensed functionality of the Software.
2. License Grant
2.1 Subject to your continuing compliance with this Agreement and, where the Software is offered for a fee, to payment of the applicable fees, Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software in object-code form for your internal personal or business purposes.
2.2 The scope of that license — including the number of installations, devices, users or activations permitted, its duration, and whether it covers future versions — is determined by the license type, plan, tier or entitlement you purchased or were granted, as described at the point of sale or in the Software. Where no scope is stated, the license is for one user on the devices that user controls.
2.3 Licensor may make the Software available in different editions, channels or distribution forms, including trial, evaluation, beta, preview, educational, not-for-resale and store-distributed builds. Terms stated for such a form apply in addition to this Agreement and, to the extent of any conflict with this Agreement regarding that form, prevail for it.
2.4 All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved to Licensor. No license is granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
3. Trial, Evaluation And Pre-Release Use
3.1 Where the Software is provided for trial or evaluation, it is licensed for the stated period and purpose only, and some functionality may be limited, disabled or time-bound. Licensor may change, suspend or end trial availability at any time.
3.2 Beta, preview, nightly and other pre-release builds are provided for evaluation only, are not supported, may be incomplete or unstable, may change or be withdrawn without notice, and are excluded from every warranty and service commitment, if any, that would otherwise apply.
4. License Keys, Activation And Verification
4.1 Licensed functionality may require a License Key, and activation or periodic verification over a network connection. You agree that the Software may transmit and receive data for those purposes as described in Article 10.
4.2 A License Key is personal to you. You must not publish, share, resell, sublicense, or make it available to any other person, and you are responsible for all use made of it. Licensor may limit the number of devices or activations associated with a License Key.
4.3 Licensor may suspend, revoke or refuse to renew a License Key, and licensed functionality may cease, where a purchase is refunded, reversed, charged back, disputed or unpaid; where the key is issued in error, duplicated, or obtained by fraud or misrepresentation; where this Agreement is breached; or where required by law.
4.4 Licensor does not warrant that activation or verification services will be available uninterrupted or indefinitely, and may change or replace the mechanism used.
5. Restrictions
Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement, by the license terms of a Third-Party Component, or by applicable law that cannot be excluded or limited by agreement, you must not:
5.1 copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, transmit, lend, rent, lease, sell, resell, sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer the Software, or make it available to any third party, including as a service or hosted offering;
5.2 modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works of the Software;
5.3 reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, structure or internal design of the Software;
5.4 remove, obscure, alter or falsify any proprietary notice, label, watermark, attribution or license text, including the notices required by Article 8;
5.5 circumvent, disable, tamper with or attempt to defeat any licensing, activation, verification, entitlement, usage-limit or security mechanism, or use any License Key, patch, generator or tool intended to do so;
5.6 use the Software in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or to create, process or distribute material that infringes the rights of others; or
5.7 use the Software in any application where its failure could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical, environmental or financial harm, including life-support, medical, aviation, nuclear, weapons or emergency- response systems. The Software is not designed, tested or certified for such use, and it is used for such purposes entirely at your own risk.
Nothing in this Article 5 limits any right you have under applicable law, or under Article 8, to decompile or reverse engineer for purposes that cannot lawfully be prohibited — including, without limitation, the debugging of modifications to Third-Party Components licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, and interoperability purposes where applicable law grants them.
6. Ownership
6.1 The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Software, including all copyrights, trade secrets, patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights in it. The Software is proprietary software and is not open-source software.
6.2 Your rights in the Software are limited to those expressly granted in this Agreement.
7. Your Content
7.1 You retain all rights in Your Content. Licensor claims no ownership of it, and this Agreement grants Licensor no license to it except as strictly necessary to provide any feature you choose to use that requires processing it, and as described in Article 10.
7.2 You are solely responsible for Your Content and for having all rights, licenses, consents and permissions necessary to import, process, export and distribute it. This includes rights in any footage, music, images, fonts, voices, likenesses or trademarks it contains.
7.3 YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING BACKUPS OF YOUR CONTENT. Software can fail, and media processing in particular can result in corrupted, incomplete or lost files. Do not rely on the Software as the sole copy or the sole means of preserving anything you cannot afford to lose.
7.4 Certain audio and video formats, codecs and standards are subject to third-party intellectual property rights, and some carry licensing or royalty obligations depending on how encoded content is distributed or monetized. Licensor grants no rights under such third-party rights. You are responsible for determining whether your use requires any such license and for obtaining it.
8. Third-Party Components
8.1 The Software incorporates, links to, is distributed with, or may download Third-Party Components. Those components are licensed to you under their own terms, not under this Agreement, and those terms are set out or referenced in the THIRD-PARTY document supplied with the Software.
8.2 Nothing in this Agreement limits, restricts or modifies any right granted to you under the license of a Third-Party Component. To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and such a license, that license governs in respect of that component.
8.3 Certain Third-Party Components are licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License ("LGPL"). Those components are dynamically linked and are supplied as separate files so that you may modify them and relink or replace them with modified versions. Notwithstanding Article 5, you are expressly permitted to reverse engineer the Software to the extent necessary to debug modifications you make to those components, and to make such modifications for your own use.
8.4 Where a Third-Party Component is licensed under terms requiring that corresponding source code be made available, the THIRD-PARTY document supplied with the Software identifies where that source code can be obtained for the build you received.
8.5 Third-Party Components may be provided by their licensors on an "as is" basis and without warranty, and Licensor provides no warranty in respect of them beyond what this Agreement states for the Software as a whole.
9. Updates, Online Services And Downloaded Content
9.1 The Software may check for, download and install updates, and may retrieve additional components, models, assets or data from Licensor or from third parties, in order to provide, maintain or secure its functionality. Where the Software offers a setting to control this, you may use it.
9.2 Updates are provided at Licensor's discretion. Licensor has no obligation to provide updates, upgrades, new versions or support, and may change, suspend or discontinue any feature, online service or distribution channel at any time, with or without notice.
9.3 Materials retrieved from third parties are Third-Party Components and are governed by Article 8 and by the terms of the party supplying them. Licensor does not control third-party sites or services and is not responsible for their content, availability, terms or practices.
9.4 Online services, where offered, are provided on an "as available" basis. Licensor does not warrant that they will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free.
10. Data Collection, Processing And Privacy
10.1 The Software and related services may collect, generate, transmit and process data. This Article describes the categories of data that may be processed now or in future versions. Not every category is collected by every version, edition or configuration of the Software, and a given version may process less than this Article permits.
10.2 Categories of data that may be processed:
(a) Licensing and entitlement data — License Keys and derived identifiers, activation and deactivation records, entitlement, plan and trial status, verification timestamps and results.
(b) Device and environment data — operating system and version, system locale and time zone, hardware architecture, processor, memory, storage, graphics adapter and driver, display configuration, device name or hostname, and identifiers derived from device or installation characteristics.
(c) Software data — version, edition, build, release channel, installation and update state, configuration and preference values, and the identity of features, commands and settings used.
(d) Usage and analytics data — events, counts, durations, sequences, performance and resource-utilization measurements, session and interaction data, and aggregated or derived statistics.
(e) Diagnostic data — crash reports, exception and error records, stack traces, log files, memory and state snapshots taken at the time of a fault, and technical metadata about files, formats, codecs and devices involved, which may include file names and file paths.
(f) Network data — IP address, coarse location derived from it, connection and request metadata, user-agent and timestamps.
(g) Purchase, account and contact data — name, email address, billing and transaction records, and correspondence. Payments are handled by third-party payment providers or resellers, and payment-instrument details are processed by them and not by Licensor.
(h) Support data — the contents of support requests and anything you choose to attach to them.
(i) Content data — where, and only where, you use a feature that requires it, Your Content or parts of it, and metadata about it, may be transmitted to and processed by Licensor or by a service provider in order to provide that feature.
10.3 Purposes. Data may be processed to supply, operate, maintain, secure and improve the Software and related services; to issue, validate, enforce and support licenses and entitlements; to detect, investigate and prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized use and security incidents; to diagnose and fix faults; to understand how the Software is used and to develop it; to provide support and to communicate with you about the Software; to process transactions; and to comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
10.4 Disclosure. Data may be disclosed to service providers and processors acting on Licensor's behalf — including hosting, storage, content-delivery, payment, licensing, analytics, error-reporting, communications and machine-learning providers; to professional advisers; where required by law, regulation, subpoena or other legal process, or to protect rights, safety or property; and to a successor or acquirer in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing or sale of assets. Licensor does not sell personal data.
10.5 International transfer. Data may be stored and processed in the United States and in any other country in which Licensor or its service providers operate, which may have data-protection laws different from those of your country.
10.6 Retention. Data is retained for as long as needed for the purposes in Article 10.3, and thereafter as required for legal, accounting, tax, security or dispute-resolution purposes.
10.7 Security. Licensor takes measures intended to protect data, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and Licensor does not guarantee absolute security.
10.8 Your rights. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, restrict or object to the processing of personal data relating to you, and to withdraw consent or complain to a supervisory authority. Requests may be made through the contact route in Article 20. Some data is required to license and operate the Software, and a request to delete it may end your ability to use licensed functionality.
10.9 Children. The Software is not directed to children. You must be of the age of majority in your jurisdiction, or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian, to use the Software, and must be of the age required to enter a binding contract in order to purchase a license.
10.10 Where Licensor publishes a separate privacy notice, that notice describes current practice in more detail and supplements this Article. In the event of a conflict, the separate privacy notice governs the handling of personal data.
11. Fees, Taxes And Refunds
11.1 Where the Software or a license is offered for a fee, you agree to pay the stated amount together with any applicable taxes, duties and charges.
11.2 Purchases may be made through a reseller, distributor, app store or merchant of record, in which case that party's terms govern the transaction, including its refund, invoicing and tax treatment.
11.3 Except where required by applicable law or by the terms of the seller through whom you purchased, fees are non-refundable.
12. Term And Termination
12.1 This Agreement takes effect when you first install, copy or use the Software and continues until terminated.
12.2 You may terminate at any time by ceasing all use of the Software and removing all copies in your possession or control.
12.3 This Agreement terminates automatically, without notice, if you materially breach it. Licensor may also terminate or suspend the license where a License Key is revoked under Article 4.3, or where required by law.
12.4 On termination, all rights granted to you end and you must cease all use of the Software and remove all copies. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except where required by applicable law.
12.5 Articles 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, and any other provision that by its nature should survive, survive termination.
13. Disclaimer Of Warranties
13.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE AND ANY RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. LICENSOR AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE.
13.2 WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT ITS OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR THAT NO DATA WILL BE LOST OR CORRUPTED.
13.3 No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Licensor or elsewhere, creates any warranty not expressly stated in this Agreement.
14. Limitation Of Liability
14.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR OR ITS LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, TIME, DATA, CONTENT OR WORK PRODUCT, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
14.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF LICENSOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER TO LICENSOR OR TO A RESELLER, DISTRIBUTOR, APP STORE OR MERCHANT OF RECORD ACTING ON ITS BEHALF, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, AND (B) FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS (USD 50).
14.3 These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they allocate the risks between the parties, which is reflected in the price of the Software.
14.4 Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or under mandatory consumer-protection law.
15. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor and its licensors, suppliers, officers, members, employees and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost and expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to Your Content, your use of the Software, or your breach of this Agreement or of any applicable law or third-party right.
16. Export Control And Sanctions
You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of, any country or territory subject to comprehensive trade sanctions, and that you are not identified on any list of restricted or prohibited parties. You agree to comply with all applicable export-control, sanctions, and import laws and regulations, and not to export, re-export or transfer the Software in violation of them.
17. United States Government End Users
The Software is "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as those terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202. Any use, duplication or disclosure by or on behalf of the United States Government is subject solely to the terms of this Agreement.
18. Trademarks And Feedback
18.1 This Agreement grants you no right to use the names, logos, trade dress or trademarks of Licensor, except as necessary to make accurate, nominative reference to the Software.
18.2 If you provide Licensor with suggestions, ideas, feedback, bug reports or other input concerning the Software, you grant Licensor a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use and exploit it without restriction, obligation or compensation to you.
19. Governing Law And Disputes
19.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, and by the federal laws of the United States where applicable, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
19.2 The state and federal courts located in the State of Florida have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.
19.3 Articles 19.1 and 19.2 do not deprive a consumer of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which that consumer is habitually resident, and do not override any non-waivable right to bring proceedings in that country.
20. General
20.1 Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with any terms presented at the point of sale for the license you purchased and any separate privacy notice published by Licensor, is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Software and supersedes all prior understandings and communications about it. It does not supersede the license terms of any Third-Party Component.
20.2 Changes. Licensor may modify this Agreement for future versions and releases of the Software. The version of this Agreement supplied with a given release governs that release. Continuing to use a release after installing an update that carries revised terms constitutes acceptance of those terms for that release.
20.3 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be, and the remainder of the Agreement continues in force.
20.4 No waiver. A failure or delay in exercising a right is not a waiver of it, and no single or partial exercise precludes any further exercise.
20.5 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights under it, by operation of law or otherwise, without Licensor's prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void. Licensor may assign this Agreement freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets.
20.6 Independent parties. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise or employment relationship.
20.7 Force majeure. Licensor is not liable for any failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
20.8 Interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation".
20.9 Contact and notices. Notices to Licensor, and requests concerning data under Article 10.8, may be sent to flint@vattlabs.com.
