Busscope End User License Agreement

Copyright (c) 2026 Busscope. All rights reserved.
Last updated: 1 November 2026.

This agreement is between you (an individual or a single legal entity) and Busscope (the "licensor"). It applies
to each Busscope program you install or use, including Busscope Master and Busscope Slave (each the "Software"),
and to each program separately. By installing or using the Software you accept it. If you do not accept it, do
not install or use the Software.

1. License. The licensor grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the
   Software for your internal business or personal use. Each license is for one person, who may use the Software
   on all computers that person uses; your license key or purchase receipt states the number of licenses (users).
   A license key is for the program named in it: a Busscope Master key does not license Busscope Slave, and a
   Busscope Slave key does not license Busscope Master. The license is perpetual unless the key states an expiry
   date. Without a license key the software runs in evaluation mode, where the licensor may limit its features or
   evaluation period. Evaluation use for production or commercial purposes is not permitted.
2. Restrictions. You may not copy (except for backup), sell, resell, rent, lease, sublicense or distribute the
   Software or your license key, offer it as a hosted service, remove its notices, circumvent or tamper with its
   licensing mechanism, or reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it except to the extent applicable law permits
   this despite this restriction.
3. Third-party components. The Software includes third-party components (listed under Third-party components) that
   are licensed under their own terms. Nothing in this agreement restricts your rights under those licenses; in
   particular, you may replace the Qt libraries shipped with the Software as the GNU LGPL v3 allows.
4. Ownership. The Software is licensed, not sold. The licensor retains all rights, title and interest not expressly
   granted, including all intellectual property rights. If you send feedback, the licensor may use it without
   obligation to you.
5. Updates and support. Updates may be offered at the licensor's discretion and are covered by this agreement unless
   they come with their own terms. The licensor has no duty to provide support, maintenance or updates unless stated
   in your purchase receipt.
6. Fees and taxes. Fees are stated at purchase and are payable in advance. You are responsible for all taxes, duties
   and levies that apply to your purchase, except taxes on the licensor's income. Refunds are given only where
   required by law or stated at purchase.
7. License key and data. The licensor may process your name, email address, order and license key information to
   deliver, verify and support your license and to meet legal duties. The Software does not send your device data,
   polled values or project files to the licensor. The licensor handles personal data in line with applicable data
   protection law, including the GDPR and the Turkish KVKK where they apply. The application does not collect email
   addresses. Optional update emails are subscribed to on the website only, with your consent, and are not required
   to use the Software. The Software can check for a newer version by requesting a public file from the licensor's
   download host, without sending your license key or other identifiers; you can turn this off in the Help menu.
8. Safety. Busscope Master can write to industrial devices. You are responsible for checking that every write is
   safe for the connected equipment and for the people and processes that depend on it. Busscope Slave simulates
   devices and can send wrong values and faults on purpose; do not connect it to a live system where such answers
   could cause harm. Do not use the Software as the only safeguard in safety-critical systems, nuclear, aviation
   or life-support applications.
9. No warranty. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
   WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
   LAW.
10. Limitation of liability. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
    SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF DATA, PROFIT OR PRODUCTION, OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, AND ITS TOTAL
    LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE LICENSE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Nothing in this
    agreement limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for intent, gross negligence, fraud,
    or death or personal injury caused by negligence.
11. Export and sanctions. You must follow all export control and sanctions laws that apply to the Software. You confirm
    that you are not located in, or controlled by or acting for a person in, a country or on a list that is subject
    to comprehensive sanctions or an export prohibition that applies to the licensor or to you.
12. Termination. This license ends automatically if you breach it, and the licensor may end it if a payment is
    reversed or charged back. Then you must stop using and delete all copies. Sections 2, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 13 to 15
    survive termination.
13. Governing law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, excluding its conflict of law
    rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
14. Disputes. The courts and enforcement offices of Türkiye at the licensor's place of residence have exclusive
    jurisdiction over disputes arising from this agreement. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the
    mandatory consumer protection rights of your country of residence, nor your right to bring a claim before the
    courts there.
15. General. If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the rest stays in force and the provision is replaced by a
    valid one that comes closest to its purpose. This agreement is the entire agreement about the Software and replaces
    earlier terms. You may not assign it without the licensor's written consent; the licensor may assign it. This
    agreement is written in English; any translation is for convenience and the English text prevails. Contact:
