End User Licence Agreement
By downloading, installing, activating, or using the Software, you (“you”, “Licensee”) agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software. “Software” means the Plaza desktop application.
1. Licence grant
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Software for your personal or internal business purposes.
2. Licence keys, seats, and trial
- The Software is activated with a licence key. One licence may be activated on up to two (2) devices at any one time.
- You may move a licence to another device by deactivating it on a device you no longer use (Settings → License → Deactivate this device) and activating it on the new one. You can do this yourself, as often as you need, without contacting us.
- A free trial of 14 days is provided, with no account and no payment details. After the trial expires, a valid licence key is required to continue using the Software.
- Once activated, the Software works offline for up to 14 days between successful online licence checks, so travel and air-gapped work are not interrupted. It needs to reach our licensing provider at least once in any 14-day period to keep running.
- Licence keys are issued and validated through our payments and licensing provider, Lemon Squeezy (Lemon Squeezy LLC), which acts as merchant of record. Your use of the activation flow is also subject to their terms.
3. Restrictions
You may not, and may not permit others to:
- copy (except for a reasonable backup), distribute, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or make the Software available to third parties as a service;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or circumvent or disable the licence activation, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits and such right cannot be waived by contract;
- remove or alter any proprietary notices; or
- use the Software in violation of applicable law.
4. Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. Open-source components are licensed under their own terms.
5. Your content and data
Plaza is local-first. Your project files remain on your own storage; Plaza
stores its metadata in a hidden .plaza/ folder alongside your files. You are
responsible for your files, for any cloud sync you configure (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive),
and for your own backups. We do not host, access, or store your project content.
Handling of the limited personal data required for licensing and updates is described in the Privacy Policy.
6. Updates
We may provide updates, which are governed by this Agreement unless accompanied by a separate licence. The Software checks for updates and downloads them when you choose to install one. Your licence does not expire, and the version you have keeps working; we do not guarantee any particular frequency or duration of future updates.
7. Fees and refunds
Fees are as stated at purchase. We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase, for any reason — write to hello@secondmarch.xyz and we will process it through Lemon Squeezy. A 14-day trial is available before purchase precisely so you can decide first. When a purchase is refunded, the licence key is revoked and the Software will stop unlocking at its next licence check.
Nothing in this section affects your statutory cancellation rights, if any, as a consumer.
8. Disclaimer of warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT IT WILL PREVENT DATA LOSS.
If you are a consumer, this section does not affect your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other mandatory consumer-protection law, which cannot be excluded.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.
Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
10. Term and termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using and delete the Software. Sections 3–4 and 8–11 survive termination.
11. Governing law and disputes
This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
If you are a consumer resident in the UK, the EEA, or elsewhere, you keep the benefit of any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where that law gives you the right to do so.
12. Third-party components
The Software includes open-source components, listed with their licences and copyright
notices in the THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md file shipped with it. Those components
are provided under their own licences and not under this Agreement.
13. Entire agreement
This Agreement, with the Privacy Policy and any order terms, is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Software and supersedes prior understandings.
