IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY TERM, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE AND IMMEDIATELY DELETE ALL RELATED FILES FROM YOUR DEVICE.
This Agreement is a legally binding contract between you and the author of Safrove software (hereinafter "Licensor" or "Author").

2. LICENSE GRANT
2.1 Licensor grants User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited license to install and use the Software on one (1) device, provided User continuously complies with all terms of this Agreement.
2.2 This license is a grant of usage rights, not a sale of the Software. User acquires no other rights, express or implied, beyond those explicitly granted in this Agreement.
3. LICENSE SCOPE AND RESTRICTIONS
3.1 User shall not: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of all or any part of the Software; (b) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software; (c) sell, rent, lease, lend, transfer, distribute, sublicense, or provide commercial hosting services of the Software to any third party; (d) remove, obscure, modify, or tamper with any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the Software; (e) circumvent or attempt to circumvent any technical protection measures or license verification mechanisms in the Software; (f) use the Software for any activity that violates applicable laws or regulations.
3.2 User may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes, provided all copies retain the original proprietary notices.
4. TRIAL EDITION TERMS

4.2 The Trial edition is provided to evaluate the Software during the license term. You may use the Software for lawful personal or commercial activities, but Licensor does not warrant that it is suitable for any particular business purpose, regulatory requirement, continuity requirement, or mission-critical system.
4.3 Licensor reserves the right to terminate Trial edition licenses or limit Trial edition functionality at any time without prior notice.
5. OWNERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
5.1 All rights, title, and intellectual property rights in and to the Software and all its components (including but not limited to source code, object code, design, structure, algorithms, user interface, documentation, trademarks, and trade names) are and shall remain the exclusive property of Licensor. This Agreement does not transfer any intellectual property rights to User.
5.2 Any feedback, suggestions, or improvement ideas provided by User regarding the Software may be freely used by Licensor without compensation or obligation to User.
5.3 Licensor reserves all rights not expressly granted to User in this Agreement.
6. ACTIVATION AND VERIFICATION
6.1 Use of the Software requires a valid License File. The License File is bound to the Machine ID provided by User at the time of purchase or activation and may only be used on the corresponding device.
6.2 If User replaces their device or undergoes significant hardware changes that result in a different Machine ID, a new license must be requested. Licensor may, at its sole discretion, provide free or paid license migration for Machine ID changes.
6.3 Licensor reserves the right to verify the validity of License Files through technical means. User shall not obstruct or interfere with such verification.
7. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS
7.1 The Software may include or depend on third-party open-source components including restic, OpenSSL, zstd, nlohmann/json, SQLite, Fluent UI System Icons, and may use WinFsp. Such components are provided under their respective license terms. See THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt distributed with the Software. This Agreement does not restrict User's rights under applicable open-source licenses with respect to those components.
7.2 Licensor makes no warranties regarding the functionality, performance, or security of third-party components and disclaims liability to the maximum extent permitted by law.
8. DATA AND PRIVACY
8.1 The Software runs on User's local device. Backup data is stored at local paths selected by User. Licensor does not access, collect, store, or transmit User's backup data.
8.2 The Software validates usage rights through an offline License File and does not require routine connections to Licensor's servers. When User visits the licensing website, requests a trial, purchases a license, or contacts support, the licensing service may process Machine ID, license file identifier, software version, email address, device name, IP address, and User-Agent. Licensor uses this information only for licensing, trials, abuse prevention, customer support, security auditing, refunds, and legal compliance. See the Privacy Policy for data categories, retention, and user rights.
8.3 Licensor does not sell or rent User's personal information. The license website and API run on Cloudflare Workers, D1, and Workers Secrets. Cloudflare acts as an infrastructure provider and may process request logs, IP addresses, and related network metadata.
9. UPDATES AND SUPPORT SERVICES
9.1 Perpetual edition users are entitled to one (1) year of Version Updates and two (2) years of Security Updates from the date of purchase. After the version update period expires, User may continue to use the current major version but will not receive new version updates.
9.2 Trial edition users are entitled to Version Updates during the 14-day trial period but are not guaranteed Security Updates.
9.3 Technical support is provided according to edition level: Trial edition receives community support; Perpetual edition receives email technical support. Licensor will use reasonable efforts to respond to technical support requests within five (5) business days.
9.4 Licensor has no obligation to provide updates or support for: (a) Software used in breach of this Agreement; (b) Software that has been modified without authorization; (c) failures caused by User's hardware, operating system, or other third-party software issues.
10. REFUND POLICY
10.1 Unless applicable law provides more favorable consumer rights, perpetual-license users may request a commercial refund under the Refund Policy published on the website. User may be required to provide proof of purchase, a detailed description of the problem, and necessary device information so Licensor can verify the issue.
10.2 Refunds are generally limited to the amount actually paid for the affected license and are returned through the original payment method. After a refund, the related License File may be revoked and User must stop using the refunded license. Applicable law or payment-provider rules control where they require otherwise.
10.3 The Trial edition is provided free of charge and therefore has no paid purchase price to refund. This section does not limit any mandatory withdrawal, repair, replacement, price-reduction, refund, or other consumer remedy available under the law of User's habitual residence.
11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
11.1 THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
11.2 LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS OF THE SOFTWARE WILL FULLY MEET USER'S REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ALL DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED.
11.3 USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT USING THE SOFTWARE FOR DATA BACKUP DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE RISK OF DATA LOSS. USER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING ADDITIONAL BACKUP COPIES OF DATA TO PROTECT AGAINST SOFTWARE FAILURE, HARDWARE FAILURE, HUMAN ERROR, OR OTHER UNFORESEEABLE EVENTS.
11.4 A "SUCCESS" TASK STATUS, THE EXISTENCE OF A SNAPSHOT, OR A SUCCESSFUL QUICK CHECK ONLY INDICATES THAT THE RELEVANT OPERATION COMPLETED AS DESIGNED. IT IS NOT A WARRANTY THAT EVERY FILE WAS FULLY READ, STORED, OR CAN BE RECOVERED. USER MUST REVIEW TASK LOGS, STORAGE CAPACITY, SOURCE FOLDERS, ACCESS PERMISSIONS, AND REPOSITORY STATUS, AND MUST REGULARLY RESTORE REPRESENTATIVE DATA TO AN INDEPENDENT LOCATION FOR VERIFICATION.
11.5 LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST BACKUP OMISSIONS, DATA CORRUPTION, OR RECOVERY FAILURE CAUSED BY STORAGE-MEDIA FAILURE, LOCKED FILES, ACCESS PERMISSIONS, MALWARE, OPERATING SYSTEMS OR THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS, USER CONFIGURATION, LOST PASSWORDS, OR A DELETED OR DAMAGED REPOSITORY. THE SOFTWARE MUST NOT BE USED AS THE SOLE SAFEGUARD FOR LIFE SUPPORT, MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS, NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AVIATION CONTROL, EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS, OR OTHER HIGH-RISK SYSTEMS WHERE FAILURE COULD CAUSE DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
12.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING DATA LOSS OR CORRUPTION, FAILED RECOVERY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE, LOST OPPORTUNITY OR GOODWILL, THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, DEVICE FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE BACKUP, DATA-RECOVERY, OR OTHER REMEDIAL SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM SOUNDS IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANOTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF LICENSOR WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
12.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY USER FOR THE LICENSE DIRECTLY GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. FOR A FREE TRIAL, LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE LOWEST AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
12.3 THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FORM THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN LICENSOR AND USER. THE PRICE OF THE SOFTWARE REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK.
12.4 NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY OR CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW TO BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED, INCLUDING NON-EXCLUDABLE LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM FRAUD, WILFUL MISCONDUCT, OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE WHERE APPLICABLE. IF A LIMITATION IS NOT FULLY ENFORCEABLE IN USER'S JURISDICTION, LIABILITY IS LIMITED ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED THERE, AND THE REMAINDER OF THIS AGREEMENT CONTINUES IN EFFECT.
13. INDEMNIFICATION
13.1 To the extent permitted by applicable law, User agrees to indemnify Licensor and provide reasonable assistance regarding third-party claims arising from User's intentional unlawful use of the Software, infringement of third-party rights, or material breach of this Agreement. This section does not limit User's non-waivable consumer rights.
13.2 Licensor reserves the right, at User's expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which User is required to indemnify Licensor, and User agrees to cooperate with Licensor in such defense.
14. TERM AND TERMINATION
14.1 This Agreement takes effect on the date User installs or uses the Software and continues until terminated in accordance with its terms.
14.2 User may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing all use of the Software, uninstalling it, and deleting all copies from all devices.

14.4 Provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Ownership, and Intellectual Property) shall survive termination.
15. EXPORT CONTROL
15.1 User shall not use the Software for any purpose that violates applicable export control laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Export Control Law of the People's Republic of China, the Foreign Trade Law, and applicable United Nations, United States, or other jurisdictional export control and sanctions regulations.

16. FORCE MAJEURE
16.1 Licensor shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform obligations resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, government actions, embargoes, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic, pandemic, cyber-attack, power or telecommunications infrastructure failure, supplier failure, or any other unforeseeable and unavoidable event.
17. ASSIGNMENT
17.1 User may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Licensor. Any unauthorized assignment shall be null and void.
17.2 Licensor may freely assign this Agreement or any of its rights without User's consent, provided the assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
18. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
18.1 This Agreement is generally governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. This choice does not deprive User of mandatory consumer protections provided by the law of User's habitual residence.
18.2 Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation between the parties. Negotiation shall take place within thirty (30) calendar days after one party issues a written notice.
18.3 If negotiation fails, a dispute may be submitted to the competent People's Court at Licensor's domicile. A consumer may nevertheless bring a claim before any court, regulator, or dispute-resolution body permitted or required by the mandatory law of the consumer's habitual residence.
18.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Licensor may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information.
19. SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER
19.1 If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect without impairment.
19.2 Licensor's failure or delay in enforcing any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Licensor to be effective. A waiver of any single breach shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENTS
20.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, negotiations, representations, proposals, and agreements concerning the same subject matter.
20.2 Licensor may update this Agreement from time to time. Updated terms will be posted on the website or communicated through a software update or email. Material changes generally apply only to licenses obtained or renewed after the change, unless necessary for legal compliance, security, or abuse prevention. No update retroactively reduces consumer rights that User has already acquired and that applicable law makes non-waivable.
20.3 User may not unilaterally modify any term of this Agreement. Any additional or inconsistent terms in purchase orders or other User documents shall have no force or effect unless expressly agreed to in writing by Licensor.
