AuthorLearn Studio License Agreement (EULA)

Effective date: November 13, 2026

Copyright (c) 2026 PVI Technologies, LLC. All rights reserved.

Please read this End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") carefully before installing or using AuthorLearn Studio. By clicking "I Agree", or by installing, copying, activating or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

This Agreement is between you (the individual or the single organization named as licensee, "you") and PVI Technologies, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("PVI Technologies", "we", "us"). The Terms of Service and Terms of Sale also apply to your purchase, trial and online account. If they conflict with this Agreement about the Software, this Agreement controls.

1. Definitions

• "Software" means AuthorLearn Studio, including its installer, portable and archive editions, the importer and import engine, the learner player, templates, sample content, the Course Catalogue, documentation, and any updates or new versions we provide for it.
• "License" means the license you obtain by buying it, as described in your Order Terms, or the free trial.
• "Order Terms" means the license type, price and other terms shown at checkout and in your order confirmation.
• "Licensee" means the one individual or organization named on the License. For an organization, "you" includes its employees and contractors who use the Software for it.
• "Your Content" means the courses, text, media, files and other material that you create with the Software or bring into it, including material you import.
• "Course Catalogue" means the white-label library of ready-made courses, and their source files, that we make available to licensed users of the Software.
• "Published Course" means a course you export from the Software in one of its publish formats (for example Web, Standalone HTML, SCORM, xAPI or cmi5), including the copy of the learner player the Software places inside it.
• "Learners" means the people who take your courses, such as your employees, contractors, members, students and customers, and the personnel of clients you deliver training to.

2. License Grant

Subject to this Agreement and payment of any fee due, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Software on computers you own or control, to create, edit, preview and publish e-learning courses, for the term of your License.

• Lifetime license. A lifetime license is perpetual. It lets the Licensee use the version of the Software it bought and all updates and new versions we release for the AuthorLearn Studio product line while we offer that product line, with no recurring fee. It is not a promise that we will develop, update or support the Software for any particular length of time. We may end it only as Section 12 allows.
• Other license types. We may offer other license types, such as annual licenses. Their term, price and any differences from this Agreement will be stated in their Order Terms. A new license type does not change any lifetime license already bought.
• Free trial. The trial lets you evaluate the Software for 30 days. During the trial you cannot publish and cannot save or export to other formats. Courses you make in the trial carry over when you buy a License. You may not reset, extend or get around the trial.

3. Activation, Computers and Check-ins

• A License may be active on up to 2 computers at a time. You may move it by deactivating a computer in the Software or in your online account and activating another. You may make up to 3 deactivations through your online account in any 30-day period; more are available through our support process on reasonable request.
• Activation needs an internet connection. After that the Software works offline, but it must reach our license server at least once every 90 days to renew its activation; if it does not, licensed features pause until it connects again. When the computer is online, the Software checks in with our license server from time to time to confirm the License status. If a License has been revoked or suspended, a check-in will deactivate or suspend the Software on that computer.
• When it activates, deactivates, starts a trial or checks in, the Software sends our server only the information described in our Privacy Policy: the license key, a one-way hash of a machine identifier, a computer label (by default the Windows computer name, which you can change), the Software version and the Windows version. The Software does not send telemetry, usage data or your projects to us.
• You must keep your license key confidential and must not share or publish it. You are responsible for its use.

4. Transfers

An organization Licensee may move the License between its own employees and contractors by deactivating and activating computers. Otherwise, you may not sell, give, assign or transfer the License or the Software to another person or organization without our prior written consent. An individual's License is personal to that individual.

5. Your Content and Published Courses

1. You keep all rights you have in Your Content. We claim no ownership of it.
2. While your License is in effect, you may copy, distribute, sell and host your Published Courses, including the learner player and template elements embedded in them, without further permission from us and without paying us any royalty. You may not extract the learner player or templates from a Published Course to use them separately from that course.
3. Published Courses you distributed while your License was in effect may stay in use after your License ends, except as Section 12 says for Licenses ended by refund, chargeback or breach.
4. You confirm that you own, or have all rights, licenses and permissions needed for, everything you import or add to the Software, including material from existing courses, presentations, documents, pictures, audio and video. The importer is provided to help you work with material you are entitled to use. It does not give you any right in material owned by others.

6. Templates, Importer and Course Catalogue: Your Responsibility

Templates, the importer and the Course Catalogue are provided for your convenience, to help you build courses faster. They are starting points, not finished training.

You are solely responsible for all training you create, import, adapt, publish or deploy with the Software, including courses based on templates or the Course Catalogue. That includes its accuracy, completeness, legality, regulatory and safety compliance, accessibility, and suitability for your Learners and purpose. You must develop, review and check your own work, and have it reviewed by qualified people where the subject requires it, before you deploy it.

To the fullest extent the law allows, PVI Technologies is not liable for the content of templates or Course Catalogue courses, for material you import, or for any output of the importer, including any error, omission or change introduced in conversion.

7. Course Catalogue License

While you hold a paid License in good standing, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:

• use, copy and modify Course Catalogue courses;
• rebrand them, including removing our branding and adding your own; and
• publish and deploy them, in modified or unmodified form, to your Learners, including as part of training you sell or deliver to your clients.

You may not:

• sell, license, share or distribute the Course Catalogue, or any substantial part of it, as a standalone library, collection or template product;
• distribute Course Catalogue source files, except inside your own Published Courses or as part of a course project you deliver to a client for that client's own use; or
• suggest that we endorse your courses or are responsible for their content.

Some media in the Course Catalogue may come from third parties under their own license terms. Where a catalogue item lists such terms, they also apply to that item.

If your License ends, you may not start any new deployment of Course Catalogue courses. Catalogue courses you deployed while your License was in good standing may stay in use for your existing Learners, except where Section 12 requires you to remove them.

8. Restrictions

Except as this Agreement expressly allows, or as the law permits despite this limitation, you may not:

1. sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, distribute or otherwise make the Software itself available to anyone else;
2. modify, translate, adapt or create derivative works of the Software (this does not limit what you may do with Your Content or with Course Catalogue courses under Section 7);
3. reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, or try to derive its source code, except to the extent the law expressly allows despite this limit;
4. bypass, disable, tamper with or interfere with activation, license checks, trial limits, or any other technical protection in the Software, or use key generators, cracks or patched copies;
5. use one License on more computers at a time than it allows, or share or publish a license key;
6. remove, alter or hide any copyright, trademark or other notice in the Software;
7. use the Software to infringe or misappropriate the rights of others, or for any unlawful purpose; or
8. use the Software to build a product or service that competes with it.

9. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. PVI Technologies and its licensors own all rights, title and interest in the Software, including all intellectual property rights. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved. "AuthorLearn" and "AuthorLearn Studio" are trademarks of PVI Technologies, LLC.

10. Updates and Discontinuation

We may, but are not required to, provide updates, fixes or new versions. Any update you install is part of the Software and governed by this Agreement unless it comes with its own license terms. If we stop offering AuthorLearn Studio, before our license server is shut down we will release a final update or method that removes the periodic check-in, so that copies already installed and activated keep working and lifetime Licensees can continue to activate the last released version within their activation limit.

11. Third-Party Components

The Software includes third-party and open-source components (for example Electron, Chromium, Python and FFmpeg). Each is licensed to you under its own license. Their notices and license texts are included in the Software's installation folder (for example THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt, LICENSES.chromium.html and the license files inside the import engine folder). Where such a license grants you rights that this Agreement would otherwise restrict, that license governs your use of that component, and nothing in this Agreement limits those rights.

12. Term, Suspension and Termination

• This Agreement lasts for the term of your License. A lifetime License does not expire. A trial ends after 30 days. Other license types end as their Order Terms say.
• If you receive a refund, the License and all of its activations are revoked. If you file a chargeback or payment dispute, we may suspend the License and its activations while the dispute is open, and revoke them if the dispute is decided in your favor.
• We may suspend or revoke the License if you materially breach this Agreement. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will give you notice and a chance to fix the breach first.
• You may end this Agreement at any time by uninstalling and deleting all copies of the Software.
• When this Agreement or your License ends, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies, and you may not start new deployments of Published Courses or Course Catalogue courses. If it ends because of a refund, a chargeback decided in your favor, or our termination for your breach, you must also, within 30 days, stop distributing Published Courses made under that License and remove Course Catalogue courses from service. In any other case, courses already deployed may stay in use as Sections 5 and 7 allow.
• Sections 5(1), 5(4), 6, 8, 9 and 13 to 17 survive termination.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING TEMPLATES, THE IMPORTER AND THE COURSE CATALOGUE, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. PVI TECHNOLOGIES DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT IMPORTED OR CONVERTED CONTENT WILL MATCH ITS SOURCE, THAT TEMPLATES OR CATALOGUE COURSES ARE ACCURATE, CURRENT, COMPLIANT OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR THAT PUBLISHED COURSES WILL WORK WITH ANY PARTICULAR LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING YOUR COURSES BEFORE YOU DEPLOY THEM AND FOR KEEPING BACKUPS OF YOUR WORK.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PVI TECHNOLOGIES OR ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, CONTENT OR GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM TRAINING YOU CREATE, IMPORT, ADAPT OR DEPLOY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE LICENSE TO WHICH THE CLAIM RELATES, OR US $50 IF YOU PAID NOTHING.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case these limits apply to the greatest extent the law allows.

15. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless PVI Technologies and its members, managers, employees and contractors from and against any claims, losses, damages, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of: (a) training or other content you create, import, adapt, publish or deploy, including Course Catalogue courses you deploy; (b) material you import or add to the Software; (c) your breach of this Agreement; or (d) your breach of any law or of anyone's rights.

16. Export and Government Use

You will comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws. You confirm that you are not located in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You will not export, re-export or provide the Software in breach of those laws. The Software is "commercial computer software" and its documentation is "commercial computer software documentation". If you are a U.S. Government end user, you receive only the rights granted to all other end users under this Agreement.

17. General

1. Governing law and venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Software will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Oklahoma, and you and we consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
2. Entire agreement. This Agreement, your Order Terms and the Terms of Service and Terms of Sale are the entire agreement between you and us about the Software. This Agreement may be changed only in a writing from us, or by new license terms that come with a version of the Software you choose to install. A change does not reduce the rights you already have under a License you bought before the change.
3. Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the extent possible and the rest of this Agreement stays in effect.
4. No waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
5. Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement except as Section 4 allows. We may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of the business or assets to which it relates.
6. Consumer rights. Nothing in this Agreement limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract under the law where you live.
