End User Licence Agreement (EULA) — HockeyCut desktop app

Not legal advice. Version EN-EULA-1.0-draft · 15 November 2026. Square brackets [...] are placeholders. Turkish users: the Turkish EULA applies (see Section 18).

Please read. By installing, activating or using the software you accept this EULA. This EULA works with the Terms of Use, the Privacy Notice and Subscription and Refunds. If you do not accept, do not install or use the software.

1. Parties and meanings

1.1. Licensor: [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("we"), [address].

1.2. You: the person who installs the software. If you accept for a club or company, you confirm that you may do so for it ("your organisation").

1.3. Software: the HockeyCut desktop app, its updates, documentation and built-in assets, except the open-source components in Section 5.

1.4. Licence key / licence token: the key given to you with a purchase and the signed token created when the app is activated.

2. Licence

2.1. We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use the Software for your own internal analysis of hockey video, for the licence period and according to your package. The Software is licensed, not sold.

2.2. One computer. One licence key may be active on one computer at a time. The Free package runs on one computer without a key. If you want to use the Software on another computer, you must end its use on the first one (we explain how in the app and the account page) and activate the new one.

2.3. Business licences. If you bought seats for an organisation, the number of seats is shown on your order. Each seat is for one person and one computer at a time.

2.4. Package limits. The Free package and Premium have match limits and answer requirements (see Terms of Use, Section 4). The counter is kept on your computer and protected against tampering.

2.5. All rights not given in this EULA remain with us.

3. Activation and licence checks

3.1. Activation. On first use of a Premium key, the Software connects to our server over the internet. It sends the licence key, a one-way summary (hash) of a device identifier, the operating system type and the app version. See the Privacy Notice.

3.2. Offline use. The licence token can be checked offline. The Software must go online at least every 30 days to renew it. If it cannot, Premium features stop and the Software works as the Free package; your local projects stay available and you can still export them.

3.3. Do not: share, sell, rent or publish your key; bypass, disable or change the activation, the one-computer limit, the match counter or other copy-protection measures; set the system clock to avoid checks; or give others a tool to do these things. This is a serious breach of this EULA and may also be unlawful.

3.4. Keys that are refunded, cancelled or abused may be put on a revocation list.

4. Restrictions

Except where mandatory law allows it (for example, decompilation needed for interoperability under the EU Software Directive, or backup copies), and except for the open-source components (Section 5), you may not: (a) copy the Software, except for one backup copy; (b) rent, lease, lend, sell or sublicense it, or use it to offer analysis as a service to third parties without our written permission; (c) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, or try to get its source code; (d) extract, copy, reconstruct or distil our AI models or their parameters, or use the Software or its outputs to train a competing model; (e) circumvent copy protection or licence checks (Section 3.3); (f) change the Software or build products from it; (g) remove copyright, trademark or licence notices; (h) use the Software for unlawful purposes, or in breach of the Terms of Use (including Section 8 and Section 16 there); (i) publish benchmark results of the Software against competing products without our written permission, to the extent the law allows this restriction.

5. Open-source components

5.1. The Software includes open-source components under their own licences. A list is in the app (About → Open-source licences).

5.2. Nothing in this EULA limits the rights these licences give you. The Software uses FFmpeg under the LGPL-2.1-or-later. FFmpeg is not owned by us; the copyright holders are the FFmpeg developers (https://ffmpeg.org). For LGPL libraries you may replace them with your own version and, to the extent needed for that, reverse engineer the way the library is used. We provide the matching source code at [source-code URL] or on written request for at least three years.

6. Updates and support

6.1. During the licence period we provide security and bug-fix updates. Major new versions may cost extra.

6.2. Updates are digitally signed. You can turn off automatic updates, but we are not responsible for problems caused by not installing security updates.

6.3. Support: [coming soon], first answer within [2] business days (a target, not a promise). Security reports: [coming soon].

7. Analysis results

7.1. The Software suggests events and statistics. It can make errors. Results are a helping tool. They are not official statistics, referee decisions, medical advice, or the sole basis for choosing or disciplining players. The decisions are yours.

7.2. The Software does not use facial recognition, does not create face templates or voiceprints, and does not identify people. It can follow a player from frame to frame inside one video.

8. Training Contribution and your declarations

8.1. The Software sends us the Training Contribution (your Yes/No answers, short clips of those moments, and numeric event data). It is part of the price of the Software and cannot be switched off. It is described in Terms of Use, Section 5, and Privacy Notice. The match videos themselves stay on your computer.

8.2. By accepting, you give the declarations in Terms of Use, Section 6 (you own the video or have permission; you have the permission of the people shown and, for minors, of a parent or legal guardian). If you cannot make them, do not load the video. Section 7 of the Terms (indemnification) applies.

9. Warranty and liability

9.1. We promise that the Software will in all important respects do what its documentation says. If it does not, we will first repair or update it, and if that fails, we will refund the price you paid for the period affected.

9.2. Except as stated in 9.1 and your mandatory rights, the Software is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without other warranties, to the extent the law allows.

9.3. To the extent the law allows, our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the licence in the 12 months before the claim and USD [50]; we are not liable for indirect loss, lost profit or lost data. Nothing limits liability for death or personal injury, fraud, intent or gross negligence, or anything the law does not allow us to limit.

9.4. Consumers: your mandatory rights remain, including rights for digital content or services that do not conform to the contract.

9.5. Your videos, projects and exports are stored on your computer. You must keep your own backups.

10. Term and ending

10.1. This EULA starts when you activate or first use the Software and ends when your licence ends or when it is terminated.

10.2. We may terminate it by notice if you seriously breach Sections 3.3 or 4, or the Terms of Use; where possible we give you time to fix the breach first.

10.3. When it ends, you stop using the Software. Your local data is yours. For [90] days the Software stays in a read-only mode so you can export your projects in open formats (JSON/XML/CSV).

11. Privacy

The Software works on your computer and does not send the full match to us. It sends the Training Contribution, licence and activation data, update checks, and — only if you turn them on — error reports. Error reports are off by default. See the Privacy Notice.

12. Export controls and sanctions

The Software contains standard encryption (for example TLS and digital signatures). You will not export, re-export or use the Software in breach of export-control or sanctions laws, and you confirm that you are not on a United Nations, EU, UK, US or Turkish sanctions list or in a territory under comprehensive sanctions.

13. Third-party products and trademarks

The Software can import export files from other analysis tools. This is for interoperability only. We are not connected with those products or their makers, and they do not endorse our Software. Names belong to their owners.

14. U.S. Government users

The Software is "commercial computer software" and its documentation is "commercial computer software documentation". If you are a U.S. Government user, you get only the rights in this EULA.

15. Governing law and disputes

Section 19 of the Terms of Use applies to this EULA (including consumer protections and the courts of your home country where the law gives you this right).

16. General

Severability, no waiver, assignment, force majeure and notices are as in Section 20 of the Terms of Use. We may transfer this EULA to a successor of our business and will tell you.

17. Regional notes

• EEA/UK consumers: your mandatory rights (for example for non-conforming digital content, and the right of withdrawal) are not changed by this EULA. See Terms of Use, Section 21(A), and Subscription and Refunds.
• United States: see Terms of Use, Section 21(B). You agree to receive notices electronically.

18. Türkiye users

If you are in Türkiye, the Turkish EULA (Son Kullanıcı Lisans Sözleşmesi) applies to you and controls for Turkish users.
