We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the App subject to these Terms. The use rights for paid licenses are described in Section 11. Redistribution, resale, sublicensing, modification, decompiling, disassembling, reverse engineering, or any unauthorized use of the App is prohibited.

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from or relating to your use of the App. Our total liability for direct damages is limited to the amount you paid for the App, if any.
7. Termination
This license terminates automatically if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, you must immediately stop using the App and destroy all copies in your possession or control.

We may change the pricing of the SmoothCSV License or introduce new pricing models for future releases. Such changes will apply prospectively and will not retroactively revoke rights granted under previously accepted Terms.
11. SmoothCSV License
11.1 Purchase and Payment
SmoothCSV offers an optional one-time purchase of a “SmoothCSV License”. The license is perpetual and does not expire, subject to the termination provisions in Section 7. Orders are sold by Paddle.com Market Limited (“Paddle”), which acts as the Merchant of Record and seller for purchases. SmoothCSV provides the software and license support. By completing a purchase, you also agree to Paddle’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
11.2 License Models
11.2.1 Single User
The Single User license is for one natural person. It may be used on unlimited devices that person owns or is authorized to use. The license may not be shared, transferred, or reassigned to another person.
11.2.2 Team
The Team license is for an organization that administers seats internally. One seat equals one natural person at a time. The number of seats is specified at the time of purchase, and the total number of individuals using the App under a Team license must not exceed the purchased seat count. The organization may assign and reassign seats within the organization without notifying us. Additional seat purchases are processed as separate orders and may result in separate license keys; they are not automatically merged into an existing order.
11.3 License Key
Upon purchase, you will receive a license key via email and on the purchase confirmation page. The key may be used on unlimited devices within the applicable license model. You are responsible for keeping your license key secure.
11.4 Current Benefits
The SmoothCSV License suppresses periodic reminders and displays a badge in the application. It does not unlock additional features today — all current features are available to all users regardless of license status.
11.5 Refunds
Refund requests are handled in accordance with our Refund Policy. Refunds are processed through Paddle.
11.6 No Warranty on Purchase
The purchase of a SmoothCSV License is subject to the same warranty disclaimers set forth in Section 5 above.
12. Trademarks
SmoothCSV and related logos are our trademarks. Except for displaying the App as provided, you may not use our trademarks without our prior written permission.
