OPTIVALVE END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Version 1.0 - 21 August 2026

Copyright (c) 2026 Ocvex. All rights reserved.

This End-User License Agreement (the "Agreement") governs use of the
Optivalve audio plug-in and the accompanying binary files and documentation
(collectively, the "Software"). By installing, copying, or using the Software,
you agree to this Agreement.

1. Licence grant

Ocvex grants you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
royalty-free licence to install and use the unmodified Software on devices that
you own or control, for personal, educational, professional, and commercial
audio production.

2. Your audio and other output

You retain all rights in music, recordings, presets, parameter settings, and
other content that you create with the Software. Ocvex claims no ownership of,
and imposes no royalty or attribution requirement on, that output.

3. Redistribution

You may redistribute the complete, unmodified official Optivalve release
archive free of charge. You may not redistribute an extracted, altered,
repackaged, or incomplete copy of the Software, and you may not charge for,
sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or commercially distribute the Software itself.

4. Restrictions

Except where applicable law expressly permits otherwise, you may not:

  a. modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
  b. reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to recover source
     code or implementation details from the Software;
  c. remove or alter copyright, trademark, authorship, licence, or other
     proprietary notices;
  d. bypass or interfere with technical restrictions or security mechanisms;
  e. use the Ocvex or Optivalve names to identify or endorse another product;
     or
  f. use the Software in violation of applicable law or third-party rights.

No rights to the source code are granted under this Agreement. All rights not
expressly granted are reserved by Ocvex.

5. Updates and support

This Agreement does not require Ocvex to provide support, maintenance, updates,
or future versions. An update supplied by Ocvex is governed by this Agreement
unless it includes a different licence.

6. Third-party software

The Software incorporates third-party components governed by their respective
licences. Required notices and licence texts are provided in
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt and the Licenses directory. Those terms apply only to
the corresponding third-party components and do not place Optivalve's
proprietary code under an open-source licence.

7. Disclaimer of warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED
"AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND,
WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR COMPATIBILITY.

You are responsible for testing the Software in your environment and for
maintaining backups of projects, presets, and recordings.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OCVEX SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROJECTS, REVENUE, PROFITS, BUSINESS, OR
GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be
excluded or limited.

9. Termination

This Agreement terminates automatically if you materially breach it. Upon
termination, you must stop using and delete your copies of the Software. The
provisions concerning ownership, restrictions, third-party software,
disclaimers, liability, and general terms survive termination.

10. General terms

If a provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to
the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will continue in
effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. This Agreement is the
entire agreement between you and Ocvex concerning the Software, except for
mandatory rights that applicable law gives you.
