End-User License Agreement
This End-User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a legal agreement between you and The Cognition Factory (“Licensor”) for the TCF application software, including updates and accompanying documentation (the “Software”).
1. License grant
Licensor grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for your own learning or for your household / internal organizational training, subject to this EULA and any paid plan or pilot terms you enter separately.
2. License restrictions
You may not:
- Sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the Software as a standalone product
- Remove proprietary notices or rebrand the Software as your own platform
- Circumvent technical limitations, launch gates, or access controls except as provided in-product
- Use the Software to provide a competing hosted multi-tenant service built primarily on TCF binaries without a written partner agreement
- Use the Software for unlawful purposes
Reverse engineering is prohibited except to the limited extent required by applicable law that cannot be waived.
3. Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Software, including trademarks and documentation structure. Your study content, notes, and domain materials you create remain yours.
4. Third-party components and AI services
- The Software may include open-source or third-party libraries under their own licenses.
- Optional cloud AI features require a third-party API key you supply. Usage is billed by that provider to you. Licensor does not control model outputs and does not warrant their accuracy.
- You are responsible for complying with third-party terms (including xAI or any successor provider you configure).
5. Data and privacy
Local App data is described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for securing the device, launch credentials, and API keys.
6. Updates
Licensor may provide updates that modify or remove features. This EULA applies to updates unless accompanied by different terms.
7. Support
Support is provided on a commercially reasonable basis for active users and pilots, unless a separate agreement states otherwise. No guaranteed response time is implied by this EULA alone.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR RESULTS OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING EXAM OR WORKPLACE OUTCOMES.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS OR DATA. LICENSOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) FEES YOU PAID LICENSOR FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
10. Termination
This license terminates automatically if you breach it. You may terminate by uninstalling the Software and destroying copies. Sections that by nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits) will survive termination.
11. Export and sanctions
You will not use or export the Software in violation of U.S. export control or sanctions laws.
12. Governing law
This EULA is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, excluding conflict-of-law rules, subject to mandatory consumer protections where they apply.
13. Entire agreement
This EULA, together with the Privacy Policy, Terms of Service (for site use), and any written order or pilot agreement, is the entire agreement regarding the Software and supersedes prior oral or written statements on the same subject.
