Horve IFC Viewer – End-User License Agreement

This is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Svein Horve ("Licensor") for the software product Horve IFC Viewer, including associated media, printed materials and online or electronic documentation (the "Software"). By installing, copying or otherwise using the Software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE

Subject to your compliance with this agreement and an active, valid subscription or trial obtained through Licensor's licensing system, Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software on devices you control, for the number of seats included in your subscription.

2. SUBSCRIPTION, SEATS AND TRIAL

The Software requires an internet connection and sign-in to verify your license. A free 30-day trial may be offered at Licensor's discretion; no payment is required during the trial, and the trial may be limited or discontinued at any time. Continued use after the trial period requires an active paid subscription. Each seat may be used by one named user at a time; seats may not be shared concurrently across multiple users.

3. LICENSE VERIFICATION, DATA AND PRIVACY

The Software periodically re-verifies your license against Licensor's licensing service and may stop functioning if verification has not succeeded within the applicable offline grace period (currently 14 days). For this purpose the Software transmits only sign-in tokens, license information and the application version. Your models, project files and their contents are processed locally on your device and are never transmitted to Licensor. Account data is processed as described in the privacy statement at https://license.shorve.no/privacy. The licensing service is provided without any availability warranty; temporary unavailability of the service does not entitle you to any remedy where the offline grace period is honoured.

4. RESTRICTIONS

You may not: (a) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits; (b) rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Software; (c) circumvent, disable or interfere with license-related or security features of the Software; (d) use the Software beyond the seat count or scope of your subscription.

5. OWNERSHIP

The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor retains all right, title and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. This agreement does not grant you any rights to trademarks or service marks of Licensor.

6. UPDATES

Licensor may provide updates, upgrades or fixes to the Software at its discretion. Updates may add, change or remove functionality. Certain updates may be required for the Software to continue operating, including updates to license-verification components. This agreement governs all updates unless an update is accompanied by separate terms. Licensor has no obligation to provide support, maintenance or updates except as separately agreed.

7. TERM AND TERMINATION

This license is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you fail to comply with any term of this agreement, or if your subscription lapses, is cancelled or is not renewed. Upon termination, you must stop using the Software and, if requested, uninstall it.

8. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

The Software includes third-party components used under their own licenses:

Avalonia UI (MIT)
Silk.NET (MIT)

9. PROFESSIONAL USE AND OUTPUT ACCURACY

The Software is a viewing and analysis aid for construction professionals. Outputs such as measurements, quantities, lengths, areas, volumes, clash results and other derived data are computed from the model files you load and depend on the quality, correctness and conventions of those files. Such outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete and are provided for information purposes only. You retain full professional responsibility for verifying all outputs against authoritative sources before relying on them in design, bidding, construction, fabrication or other decisions. The Software does not constitute professional advice.

10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. LICENSOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12. MANDATORY LAW

Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits any liability or right that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law. In such cases, Licensor's liability and your rights are limited or preserved to the extent required by such law.

13. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

This agreement is governed by the laws of Norway, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement shall be brought before the ordinary courts of Norway, with Sør-Rogaland District Court (Sør-Rogaland tingrett) as the agreed legal venue.

14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
