End User Licence Agreement
The agreement,
before you install.
This is the licence you accept inside the program, published here in full so it can be read first — by you, or by whoever reviews software where you work. It is the same text, from the same source.
Version 0.3 · Effective 2026-08-12 · Shown and accepted inside the program · support@ontiqo.com
1. Agreement
This End User Licence Agreement is between you (either an individual or a single legal entity) and Ontiqo Pty Ltd (ACN 701 340 418), a company incorporated in Australia ("the Licensor"), which publishes Ontiqo ("the Software"). By installing, copying, or using the Software you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.
2. Licence grant, and what it costs
Personal use is free. You may install and use the Software at no charge on any computer you own or control, for your own personal, family or household purposes, for as long as you like, with no time limit and no feature restriction.
Commercial and government use is licensed by the computer. If the Software is used for or on behalf of a business, an employer, a not-for-profit organisation, an educational institution operating other than as a private individual's own study, or any government or public body, a paid licence is required, and each computer on which it is installed or run must be covered by one. A licence covers a stated number of computers, which is shown at the point of purchase. Using the Software to organise files belonging to, or held on behalf of, such an organisation is commercial or government use, whoever owns the computer.
Personal use does not become commercial merely because a file relating to your work happens to be present on a personal machine. Use is commercial when the Software is being used for the purposes of the organisation.
A paid licence is not concurrent: the computers it covers are the computers it has been activated on. A covered computer may be replaced where it is permanently retired.
Activation, and what it does not do. A paid licence is issued as a licence key, which is activated on each computer it covers. Activation requires an internet connection once, and the Software rechecks the licence from time to time afterwards; it keeps working throughout any period in which it cannot reach the licensing service. No file content is sent at activation or at any recheck. Personal use requires no key and no activation, and the Software is not restricted in any way without one.
3. What you may and may not do
You may make copies of the Software for backup purposes, and you may move your installation between machines you control, subject to clause 2.
You may not sell, rent, lease, sublicense or distribute the Software to a third party; remove or alter any copyright, trade mark or licence notice within it; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except so far as applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation; or use it to process material you do not have the right to access.
4. Your files, and where they go
The Software reads the files and locations you point it at. It runs locally: file contents are processed on your own computer and are not transmitted to the Licensor. Where you connect an online account, the Software communicates directly with that provider using credentials you supply through the provider's own sign-in and under that provider's terms; the Licensor neither receives nor stores your password.
Your files remain yours. The Licensor claims no ownership of, and no licence to, any material you process with the Software.
Optional features may make outbound requests to third-party services. These are described during setup, are off unless you turn them on, and can be declined without affecting the rest of the Software.
5. Reorganisation, and undoing it
The Software can propose changes to how your files are arranged, and can carry them out only on your explicit instruction. Every such change is recorded so that it can be reversed, including after the Software has been removed.
You remain responsible for your own backups. The undo record is a convenience, not a backup, and it cannot protect against hardware failure, loss at a service provider, or changes made by other software.
6. 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 NONINFRINGEMENT. THE LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ITS ANALYSIS, GROUPING OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
7. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
8. Your consumer rights are not affected
Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law, or under any other law, that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where such a guarantee applies and the Licensor is entitled to limit its liability for a breach of it, that liability is limited, at the Licensor's option, to replacing the Software or supplying it again, or to paying the cost of doing so.
9. Third-party components
The Software includes third-party components, each under its own licence. Those licences are listed on the About page within the Software and continue to govern those components; nothing in this Agreement limits any right you have under them.
10. Term and termination
This licence continues until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using the Software and remove it. Your files, and any record needed to reverse changes already made, remain yours and are unaffected.
11. General
This Agreement is governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. If any provision is held unenforceable the remainder continues in force. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties concerning the Software.
