IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

This End-User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“you”, “User”) and Anaptixis 2000 – A. Haselbeck (“we”, “us”, “Licensor”), governing your use of the TextyCat® software (“Software”), which is distributed under the Essentiapps brand.

By installing, accessing, or using the Software, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. Definitions

Software: The TextyCat application and its components, including updates.

License: The right to use the Software under the terms of this Agreement.

Edition: A specific version of TextyCat (e.g. Core, Studio, Advanced).

Active License: A valid, non-expired license for the applicable Edition.

Commercial Use: Means use of the Software in connection with any business, organization, legal entity, or other activity that is intended to generate revenue, compensation, or economic benefit, whether direct or indirect.

2. License Grant

Subject to this Agreement, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software for its intended purposes.

The Software is licensed, not sold.

3. TextyCat Editions

TextyCat is available in different Editions, each offering a defined feature set.

Features, limits, and availability vary by Edition.
Some Editions may include optional connectivity to external or third-party services, including AI-related services.
You may only access features included in the Edition you are licensed for.
We reserve the right to modify Edition features in future versions.

4. Ownership of Content

You retain full ownership of all text, data, audio, and other materials that you create using TextyCat (“User Content”).

TextyCat is a creative tool and does not claim authorship or ownership over any User Content.

Important — Third-Party Services:

If you choose to use features that connect to third-party services (including AI, language model services or content generation services), the use of such services may be subject to additional terms, conditions, or attribution requirements imposed by those third parties.

In such cases, your rights and obligations regarding content generated, transformed, or assisted by third-party services are governed by the applicable third-party terms, and nothing in this Agreement grants you rights that conflict with those terms. You are solely responsible for complying with any attribution, usage, or disclosure requirements imposed by third-party service providers.

5. Intellectual Property, Trademarks & Methodology Names

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Software, including but not limited to its source code, structure, design, user interface, workflows, documentation, and underlying technology, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Anaptixis 2000 – A. Haselbeck or its licensors.

TextyCat®, Essentiapps™, MultiTrack Writing™, MultiTrack Text Writing™, and The MultiTrack Writing Method™, together with all related names, logos, icons, documentation, and branding elements, are trademarks, trade names, or proprietary designations of Anaptixis 2000 – A. Haselbeck.

Nothing in this Agreement grants you any right, license, or interest in such trademarks, trade names, or proprietary designations, except as necessary to use the Software in accordance with this Agreement.

You may not use our trademarks, methodology names, or branding in a manner that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship without prior written permission.

For the avoidance of doubt, this section does not restrict your use of general writing techniques or concepts, nor does it affect your ownership of User Content as described in Section 4.

6. Commercial Use and License Status

Commercial use of content created using TextyCat is permitted only while you hold an Active License for the applicable Edition.

Following License expiration:

You may continue to access and use your content for personal or non-commercial purposes.
You may retain all previously created content.
No new or ongoing commercial use may occur during any period in which you do not hold an Active License, unless and until the License is renewed.

This restriction does not apply retroactively to any commercial use that lawfully occurred while the License was active. Content lawfully published, distributed, or sold during an Active License does not become unlawful solely due to License expiration.

7. License Validation, Offline Use & Grace Periods

TextyCat performs license validation checks only.

No behavioral tracking
No content inspection
No analytics unrelated to license validation

The Software is designed to operate offline. Temporary offline grace periods may apply.

We reserve the right to adjust license validation mechanisms, provided the Software remains primarily local-first.

8. Exports, Outputs & Value Exit

During an Active License, you may freely export and commercially use outputs created with the Software.

Following License expiration, export functionality or other value-exit features may be limited or disabled in accordance with this Agreement.

Some Editions may offer optional connectivity to external services, including AI services.

AI-connected features are optional and not required for core functionality.
No User Content is transmitted to third-party services without explicit user action.

Bring Your Own API Key (BYOK)

TextyCat does not include AI service subscriptions or usage credits.

If you choose to use AI-connected features:

You must provide your own API keys
All costs, quotas, billing, and terms are solely between you and the respective provider

We are not responsible for third-party service behavior, including but not limited to API costs, quotas, outages, policy changes, API protocol changes or service discontinuation.

Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software
Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Software
Circumvent license or validation mechanisms
Share, sublicense, sell, transfer, or disclose license keys or access credentials to any third party

11. Updates & Changes

We may provide updates, patches, or new versions of the Software.

Updates may modify features, Editions, or requirements, and such changes may be made without prior notice, unless otherwise required by law. Continued use of the Software after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Software and applicable terms.

12. Termination

This Agreement terminates automatically if you violate its terms.

Upon termination:

Your License ends
Any new or ongoing commercial use must cease during any period in which you do not hold an Active License
Upon termination of this Agreement, you must immediately cease all use of the Software and delete or destroy all copies in your possession or control
Ownership of your content remains with you

13. Refunds & Goodwill

Purchases of the Software are processed by our Merchant of Record, Paddle.com Market Limited (“Paddle”).

Paddle is responsible for payment processing, invoicing, tax handling, and refund administration.

This Agreement governs your use of the Software and is entered into between you and Anaptixis 2000 – A. Haselbeck, independent of Paddle’s role as Merchant of Record.

In addition to applicable statutory consumer rights, we may, at our sole discretion, offer refunds outside those rights as an act of goodwill. Such decisions are made individually and are not guaranteed.

Refund requests must be submitted through Paddle’s customer support channels.

Any discretionary refund decisions are made by the Licensor and processed by the Merchant of Record (Paddle).

The Software may include or rely on third-party components subject to their own licenses.

Applicable third-party notices are provided separately and form part of this Agreement.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or defect-free operation.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of data, loss of profits, loss of business, or interruption of operations arising from the use of or inability to use the Software.

17. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hellenic Republic (Greece).

Exclusive jurisdiction lies with the courts of Athens, Greece, unless mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise.

19. Severability

If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part shall be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

20. No Waiver

Any failure or delay by the Licensor to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision, nor shall it affect the Licensor’s right to enforce it at any later time.
