1. LICENSE GRANT
PERSONAL LICENSE. Unless otherwise provided for in your purchase order, this type of license permits software operation on one individual user account or one computer, workstation, or another digital electronic device that conforms to the system requirements of the Software as specified in the documentation. Therefore, the Software is licensed on a per computer basis, not per user, per site, or per company. For example, if a person uses 2 computers, to install and use the Software on each computer, the person must purchase 2 licenses. In accordance with the terms of this EULA, Movavi grants you a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Software. “Use” means storing, loading, installing, executing, or displaying the Software exclusively for personal purposes, without rights of commercial replication and/or distribution either in full or as part of the derived software to any third parties. You may not modify the Software or disable any licensing or control features of the Software except as an intended part of the Software programming features. The given EULA remains effective in perpetuity and in consideration of appropriate restrictions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
BUSINESS LICENSE. This type of license is intended for use by a company or another commercial entity and conveys the rights to install and use the Software for corporate, commercial, or business purposes (including internal business purposes such as the preparation of presentations or reports). For the purposes of this agreement, commercial use constitutes also any use of the Software for the direct or indirect purpose of financial benefit (e.g., by means of sales, licensing, advertising, etc.). Except for the Free License, for the rights granted to the Licensee, the Licensee is bound to pay to Movavi the applicable license fee. This license is limited, non-exclusive, and is not transferable to any other organization or affiliate and, unless otherwise provided, permits software operation on a single computer. The given EULA remains effective perpetually in consideration of appropriate restrictions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
SUBSCRIPTION TERMS. When you purchase a Software license on a subscription basis, you acknowledge and agree that you are authorizing recurring payments to be made to Movavi, and those payments shall be made by the method you have chosen at the recurring intervals chosen by you until the subscription is terminated by you or by Movavi in accordance with this EULA. Your subscription will automatically renew annually without notice until you cancel. Movavi will automatically charge you the then-current rate for your subscription plan, plus applicable taxes, for every billing period of your purchase order. Subscription fees are generally billed or charged in advance of the applicable subscription period. Movavi may change your plan’s rate each renewal term, and we will notify you of any rate change in advance and provide an option to cancel.

To use the Free Copy, you may also be required to create an account.
