End User Licence Agreement
This agreement is the licence for the MacXTools app you install. It sets out what you can do with the software, what you cannot and the limits that come with it. By installing or using an app, you accept it.
01 Licence grant
When you download a free app or complete a purchase, MacXTools grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use that app. The app is licensed to you, not sold.
This agreement covers the software itself. Your purchase, refund and website use are covered by our terms of service, and these two documents work together.
02 Scope of your licence
Your licence lets you use the app in the ways below.
- Install and use the app on Macs that you own or control.
- Use the app for personal or internal business purposes.
- Where an app is licensed per seat, use it for the number of users your purchase covers.
- Make one copy for backup, kept only as a backup.
A free version may offer fewer features than the paid version. The licence still applies to it in full.
03 What you may not do
Your licence does not allow you to do any of the following.
- Copy, resell, rent, lease, sublicense or redistribute the app.
- Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except where the law expressly permits it.
- Modify, translate or create derivative works from the app.
- Remove or alter any copyright, trademark or licence notice.
- Use the app to break the law or to infringe someone else's rights.
If you break these rules, your licence ends automatically.
04 Licence keys and activation
A paid app may come with a licence key. The key identifies your purchase and unlocks the paid features. Keep it private. You are responsible for activity under your key.
Your licence is not tied to one machine. You can move an app to a new Mac and enter the same key. If you lose your key, contact us and we will resend it.
05 Updates and versions
We release updates to fix problems, improve the app and keep it working with new versions of macOS. Updates within the major version you have are covered by this licence at no extra cost.
An app may check for updates over the internet. You can turn that check off in the app settings. A future major version may be a separate paid upgrade, and we will make that clear before you buy it.
06 Ownership
MacXTools and our licensors own the app and everything in it, including the code, design and trademarks. This agreement grants you a licence to use the app. It does not transfer any ownership to you.
All rights that we do not grant you here stay with us.
07 Third-party and open-source components
Some apps include third-party or open-source components. Those components come with their own licences, which apply alongside this agreement. Where a component licence conflicts with this one, the component licence governs for that component only.
Our apps run on macOS. macOS is a product of Apple Inc. MacXTools is an independent developer and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Apple Inc.
08 Data and privacy
Our apps do their work on your Mac. Files you process stay on your machine, and the apps do not send telemetry about what you do. The only network request an app makes is an optional check for updates, which you can turn off.
Our privacy policy explains the limited information the website and purchase process handle. It forms part of the agreement between us.
09 Term and termination
Your licence starts when you first install the app and continues until it ends. It ends if you stop using the app and remove it, or automatically if you break the rules in this agreement.
Once the licence ends, you lose the right to use the app and should delete it from your devices. Anything you did within the licence while it was active stays valid.
10 General legal terms
The app is provided as is. The disclaimer of warranties, the limit on our liability and the governing law that apply to your use of the app are set out in our terms of service, and they apply to this licence in the same way.
In short, three things hold. We cannot promise the app is free of every error. Our liability is capped at what you paid for the app. Any dispute is handled under the law named in the terms. Keep a backup of your data before you use any tool that changes or deletes files.
Nothing here takes away consumer-protection rights that the law of your home country gives you and that cannot be waived by agreement.

Questions about this licence? Email support@macxtools.com or use our contact page. If a specific app ships with its own licence, that licence applies to that app alongside this agreement.
12 Frequently asked questions
Do I own the app after I buy it?
You own a licence to use it, not the software itself. The licence is yours to keep for the version you bought, within the rules in this agreement.
Can I install an app on more than one Mac?
Yes, on Macs you own or control. Where an app is licensed per seat, install it for the number of users your purchase covers.
Can I move my licence to a new Mac?
Yes. Your licence is not tied to one machine. Install the app on the new Mac and enter the same key. Lost the key? Email us and we will resend it.
Can I reverse engineer or modify an app?
No, except where the law expressly permits it. You also may not copy, resell or redistribute the app.
This agreement works together with our terms of service, privacy policy and refund policy.
