Lexopad

Lexopad End User License Agreement (EULA)

Version 1.0 — July 2026

Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the terms below): Lexopad is free to use. You may share the unmodified installer with anyone, also for free. You may not sell it, modify it, extract or redistribute its source code, or reverse-engineer it. The software is provided as-is, without warranty. All rights remain with the author.

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you (an individual or a single legal entity, "You") and Ravindran Rathish Kumar ("Author") for the software product Lexopad, including the computer software, installers, and any associated media, documentation, and future updates the Author may provide ("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. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. The Software is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties. The Author retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by the Author.

2. Grant of License

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Author grants You a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license, free of charge, to:

  1. Install and use the Software on any number of devices You own or control, for personal or internal business purposes; and
  2. Redistribute the unmodified official installer of the Software, provided that:
    • it is redistributed complete and unmodified, including all copyright notices and this Agreement;
    • no fee or other consideration is charged for the Software itself (a reasonable charge for physical media or bandwidth is permitted);
    • it is not bundled with, or offered as an inducement to acquire, any other product or service without the Author's prior written permission; and
    • it is not misrepresented as Your own product or as endorsed by the Author.

3. Restrictions

Except as expressly permitted above or to the extent such a restriction is unenforceable under applicable law, You may not:

  1. modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
  2. reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software;
  3. distribute, publish, or disclose the source code of the Software, in whole or in part;
  4. rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or provide the Software as a hosted or commercial service;
  5. remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the Software; or
  6. use the Software's name ("Lexopad"), logo, or other brand assets except as needed to truthfully refer to the Software.

4. Third-Party Components

The Software incorporates third-party open-source components, which are listed — together with their license texts — in `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md` (also available in the application under *Settings → About*). Those components are licensed to You under their own terms, which apply to those components in place of Sections 1–3 of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement restricts Your rights under those third-party licenses.

5. Privacy; Optional Online Features

The Software runs locally and does not require an account or transmit Your notes or audio to the Author. Network access occurs only when You request it (for example, downloading speech or embedding models) or when You configure optional cloud AI features using Your own third-party API key; Your use of any third-party service is governed by that provider's terms.

6. Updates and Future Editions

The Author may provide updates to the Software at his discretion; this Agreement applies to any update unless a separate agreement accompanies it. The Author may offer separate paid editions or services (for example, "Pro" or cloud features) under their own terms; nothing in this Agreement grants You any rights to such editions or services.

7. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically, without notice, if You breach any of its terms. Upon termination You must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies in Your possession. Sections 1, 3, 4, and 8–10 survive termination.

8. Disclaimer of Warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU BEAR THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING THE ACCURACY OF ANY TRANSCRIPTION IT PRODUCES AND THE INTEGRITY OF ANY DATA IT STORES.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE AUTHOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE (WHICH, FOR THE FREE EDITION, IS ZERO). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

10. General

If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between You and the Author concerning the Software and supersedes any prior communications regarding it. The governing law and venue for disputes under this Agreement are those of the Author's place of residence, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

*Note to the Author (not part of the license terms): this EULA is reasonable standard freeware language but has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Have it professionally reviewed — including the governing-law clause in Section 10 — before relying on it commercially (e.g. before launching paid Pro or Cloud tiers).*
