Terms of Use

1. Definitions

• Customer means the natural or legal person entering into this Agreement.
• Software means the machine-readable DBNox desktop application we make available for Windows, macOS, and/or Linux, including updates we provide.
• Documentation means published manuals and help materials we make generally available.
• Device means one compatible hardware device on which the Software is installed.
• License means the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Software under the model you purchased or activated.
• Price list means the pricing shown on our Pricing page at the time of purchase.

2. License grant

Subject to this Agreement and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, territorially unrestricted, non-transferable License to install and use the Software on the number of Devices permitted by your License model. Nothing in this Agreement entitles you to source code of the Software.

License models

• Trial License — time-limited evaluation, typically activated on first install, on a limited number of Devices, solely to evaluate the Software.
• Personal / Individual License — paid one-time (or otherwise as listed) license for personal or individual professional use on the Devices allowed by the product you purchased.
• Business / Team License — paid license for organizational use on the agreed number of seats or Devices, including any seat-management features we provide.

Only one License type may be active on a Device at a time unless we expressly allow otherwise. Device or seat limits are enforced by activation; exceeding limits may deactivate the oldest activation after notice in the Software.

3. Restrictions

Except as permitted by mandatory law, you may not:

• copy, modify, rent, lease, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Software except as this Agreement allows;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software beyond what applicable law expressly permits;
• remove proprietary notices from the Software or Documentation;
• use the Software to violate law, third-party rights, or another party’s acceptable-use or security policies for systems you connect to;
• circumvent license activation, seat limits, or security controls;
• claim that we certify or guarantee performance of your systems or third-party databases.

4. Your databases and content

You retain all rights to databases, credentials, schemas, queries, and other content you process with the Software. You are solely responsible for lawful access to those systems and for backups. We do not claim ownership of your database content.

The Software is local-first: connections generally run from your Device. Optional cloud AI or integrations only receive context you explicitly allow. See our Privacy Policy.

5. Fees, updates, and support

Fees are as stated at checkout or on the Price list. Unless stated otherwise, DBNox desktop licenses are sold as a one-time purchase for the Major version line described at purchase, not as an annual seat subscription. Taxes are your responsibility where applicable.

We may provide updates, patches, and new Major versions under terms we publish with each release. We do not guarantee that every optional feature, plugin, or third-party integration will remain available indefinitely.

Support channels and response expectations (community, email, or paid support) are described on the Site or in your purchase confirmation.

6. Third-party software and services

The Software may include or interoperate with third-party components and services (editors, drivers, AI providers, OS APIs, and similar). Those components remain subject to their own licenses and terms. Open source notices ship with the Application.

7. Site terms

The Site is provided for information, downloads, documentation, and account management. Marketing descriptions are not a license grant. Do not misuse the Site (including scraping that impairs service, unauthorized access, or distributing malware).

8. Intellectual property

We and our licensors own all right, title, and interest in the Software, Site, brands, and Documentation. This Agreement grants a limited License only. Feedback you provide may be used by us without obligation to you.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SOFTWARE, SITE, AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT IT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR INTEROPERATE WITH EVERY DATABASE OR ENVIRONMENT.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE LICENSE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE CASES OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED.

11. Termination

This Agreement continues until terminated. Your License ends if you breach this Agreement and fail to cure within a reasonable period after notice, or immediately for material breach (including license circumvention). On termination you must stop using the Software and destroy copies in your possession, except archival copies required by law. Sections that by nature should survive (including 3, 8–12) will survive.

12. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws applicable to Thetawave Technologies, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Courts with jurisdiction over Thetawave Technologies will hear disputes, unless mandatory consumer protections in your country require otherwise. Before filing a claim, contact us at support@dbnox.com to attempt an informal resolution.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms for new releases or Site changes. The “Last updated” date shows the current version. Continued use after posting constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms for that use. If a change materially reduces your rights under a paid License already purchased, the prior Terms continue to apply to that License unless you agree otherwise.
