Ripple Effect Licence v1.0

The short notice that governed Ripple Effect 1.4 and earlier, replaced by the Agreement from 1.5.

Version 1.0 — in force for the builds it shipped with — Ripple Effect 1.4 and earlier — and replaced by the End-User Licence Agreement for every release after it. This page is a fixed copy and will not change.
It is also the current version — the one https://legal.ripplefx.app/ripple-effect-licence/ renders.

Ripple Effect Licence, version 1.0 (English) Superseded. This is the short notice that shipped with Ripple Effect 1.4 and every build before it, and it governs those builds for as long as they are used. From Ripple Effect 1.5 the application asks you to accept the End-User Licence Agreement instead, and that Agreement governs every build that asks.

It is published here for one reason: the Agreement that replaced it says a build earlier than 1.5 remains under this notice, and a notice nobody can read is not a notice. The text below is the text that shipped, unchanged, save that the enquiry address at the end has been replaced with the one that is answered today — the original named a personal mailbox.

This page is frozen. A superseded notice has nothing left to correct, and anybody still running an older build is entitled to find exactly what they found when they installed it.

Ripple Effect Licence

Ripple Effect is proprietary software. It is not open source, and no licence is granted here beyond the permissions stated below.

Permitted use

You may install and run the official builds of Ripple Effect on machines you own or control, for any purpose, personal or commercial. Stories, projects, boards, components, scripts and exports you author with it are yours, and nothing in this licence claims any interest in them.
Not permitted

Without prior written permission you may not copy, redistribute, sell, sublicense, rent or host the software; modify, translate, or create derivative works from it; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except to the extent that law expressly permits despite this term; or remove or alter any notice of copyright, authorship or licence it carries.
Source code

The source is not published. Access to it, where granted, is granted separately and in writing, and carries no rights beyond those stated in that grant.
Third-party components

Ripple Effect is built on software written by other people, each under its own licence. Those licences govern those components and are unaffected by this one. The complete list is in the application, under About → Third-party licences.
No 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 non-infringement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the author is not liable for any claim, damages or other liability arising from the software or its use — including loss of or damage to any data, project or document.
Termination

This licence ends automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using the software and remove your copies of it.

Nothing in this notice is affected by the End-User Licence Agreement for anybody still running a build that shipped with it. A statutory right a consumer has under mandatory law applies regardless of clause 5 or clause 2’s reverse-engineering term, as those clauses themselves say.
