App EULA

This end user licence agreement (EULA) has been designed for software developers that publish applications for smartphones and similar devices. It can be used for both B2B and B2C software, and for both free and paid software, subject to the comments below on cancellation rights.

The vast majority of smartphone apps are delivered to users through a distribution platform, such as the Google Play store. The distribution platform terms and conditions will typically have an impact upon the legal relationship between the developer on the one hand and end users on the other. For instance, the developer may be required to license the smartphone app to end users on defined terms.

Optional clauses are included covering cloud services, maintenance services and support services.

The services that may be provided in connection with the software (cloud services, support and so on) are specified to be provided during the term of the contract. Accordingly, if the contract is terminated, the services will terminate, although the licence of the software may (eg if specified as perpetual) continue after termination.

This document has been drafted with one eye upon the Google Play Terms and Conditions and the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement. Notwithstanding this drafting approach, it is perfectly possible to edit this EULA in such a way that it no longer complies the the requirements of the Google legal documents. You should therefore familiarise yourself with those documents before editing. For relevant Google documentation, see:

https://play.google.com/intl/en_uk/about/play-terms/index.html

https://play.google.com/intl/ALL_uk/about/developer-distribution-agreement.html

The EULA assumes that all terms and conditions relating to charges and payments (including in relation to initial purchases, subscriptions, in-app purchases, in-app-subscriptions and independent subscriptions) will be set out elsewhere. Provisions relating to charges and payments in respect of initial purchases and in-app transactions are typically covered in the relevant app store terms and conditions.

In addition, this EULA assumes that consumer rights to cancel distance contracts will be covered elsewhere, for instance as in the Google Play Terms and Conditions.

In respect of personal data of users processed by the licensor, the EULA assumes that the licensor will be a data controller rather than a data processor. If the licensor will act as a data processor, the EULA should be supplemented by a data processing agreement or addendum.

IT law Software licensing Agreement Terms and conditions

We do not limit the number of copies of a template you can make on your own computer. Nor do they limit the number of times you can print and sign a document. We do however limit the number of copies of a template you can create in the Docular editor, and also the number of websites / digital products with respect to which a template may be used.

There are four different licences under which you can access a Docular template.

	Free licence	Standard licence	Extended licence	Professional licence
Number of document instances	1	1	5	25
Number of websites or digital products	1	1	5	25
Sub-licences permitted	None	1	5	25
Document licence period	No expiry	No expiry	No expiry	No expiry
Credit for Docular	Yes	No	No	No

Number of document instances

Document templates are the products available for sale on this website; whereas document instances are "clones" of the templates, which you can edit using Docular's online editor and export from the website.

We will update our document templates from time to time, but this will not affect your document instances. When you create a document instance, it will be based upon the latest version of the underlying document template at the time of creation of the instance, irrespective of your date of purchase.

You can save your document instance to our servers at any time, and return to editing later. Once you are happy with your editing, you can export the document and save it to your computer.

Number of websites or digital products

The licences include numerical limits upon: (a) the number of websites (including cloud services) on which documents may be published; and (b) the number of digital products (such as software programs) with which documents may be distributed.

Sub-licences permitted

All of our paid licences allow you to sub-license to a client of yours the right to use a document created using Docular.

When you sub-license that right, it becomes attached to the particular client. The number of sub-licences you may grant is numerically limited and, again, the limitation corresponds to the document instance limitation.

Document licence period

This is the period of the licence to use documents created using and exported from the Docular online editor. In short, the licences do not expire. There are no ongoing licence fees.

Credit for Docular

Each free template includes a textual credit for Docular (eg "this document was created using Docular") and you must retain that credit in all versions of the document.

Legal T&Cs

For full details of the licensing rules governing the use of Docular templates, instances and exports, see our terms and conditions.
