Terms of Service and Terms of Sale

Effective date: November 13, 2026

These Terms of Service and Terms of Sale (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and PVI Technologies, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("PVI Technologies", "we", "us"). They cover your use of www.pvitech.com (the "Site"), your online license account (the "Account"), the free trial, and any purchase of a license for AuthorLearn Studio (the "Software"). Your use of the Software itself is also governed by the AuthorLearn Studio End User License Agreement (the "EULA"). If these Terms and the EULA conflict about the Software, the EULA controls. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle data.

By using the Site, creating or signing in to an Account, starting a trial or buying a license, you agree to these Terms. If you accept them for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and "you" means that organization.

Plain-Language Summary

This summary is for convenience only. The full Terms below control.

• A lifetime license is a one-time payment. It lets the named licensee use AuthorLearn Studio and its updates with no recurring fee. It is not a promise that we will keep developing the product forever.
• A license may be active on 2 computers at a time. You can move it by deactivating a computer in the app or in your Account.
• You can ask for a refund within 14 days of purchase through our contact form. A refund ends the license.
• Templates, the importer and the white-label course catalogue are there to save you time. You are solely responsible for the training you create, import, adapt or deploy, and you must review and check it yourself.
• Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the license.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to buy a license or create an Account. The Site and Software are not directed to children under 16. You may not buy or use the Software if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or any other applicable country, including the export control rules described below.

License Types and Order Terms

When you buy, the checkout page and your order confirmation state the license type, the price and any other terms that apply to that order (the "Order Terms"). Order Terms form part of these Terms. We may offer new license types in the future, such as annual licenses, under their own Order Terms. A new license type does not change any license you have already bought. Lifetime license holders keep their license.

What "Lifetime License" Means

A lifetime license is a perpetual license, for the named licensee, to use the version of AuthorLearn Studio you bought and all updates and new versions that we release for the AuthorLearn Studio product line while we offer that product line, with no recurring fee. It does not mean the life of the buyer or of any computer.

A lifetime license is not a promise that we will develop, update or support the Software for any particular length of time. We decide what updates to release and when. If we stop offering AuthorLearn Studio:

• copies already installed and activated keep working: before the license server is shut down we will release a final update or method that removes the periodic check-in;
• before our activation service is shut down, we will provide a final offline activation method so that you can continue to activate the last released version on your own computers within your activation limit; and
• courses you have already published keep working, subject to the EULA.

Separately priced add-ons, services or other products, if we ever offer any, are not included in a lifetime license unless the Order Terms say so.

Named Licensee and Activations

Each license is issued to one named licensee, which may be an individual or an organization. A license may be active on up to 2 computers at a time. To move a license, deactivate one computer in the Software or in your Account, then activate the new one. You may make up to 3 deactivations through your Account in any 30-day period. If you need more, ask through our contact form and we will help where the request is reasonable.

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. When the computer is online, the Software checks in with our license server from time to time to confirm the license status. The details are in the EULA and the Privacy Policy.

Transfers

If the licensee is an organization, it may move the license between its own employees and contractors at any time by deactivating and activating computers. A license may not be sold, given or otherwise transferred to a different person or organization without our prior written consent, which we may give through our contact form process. An individual's license belongs to that individual and may not be transferred to an employer or anyone else without our consent.

Free Trial

The free trial lasts 30 days from activation on a computer. During the trial you have the full editor, but you cannot publish courses and you cannot save or export to other formats. Courses you make in the trial carry over when you buy a license. We may limit trials to one per person, organization or computer. You may not reset, extend or get around the trial limits. When the trial ends you will need a license to keep using the Software.

Prices, Payment and Taxes

• Prices. Prices are shown in U.S. dollars. The regular price of a lifetime license is $2,199. During the launch period we offer a launch price of $799. We may change prices or end a sale at any time. A price change does not affect an order you have already paid for.
• Payment. Payments are processed by Stripe through Stripe Checkout. We never receive or store your card number. Stripe's handling of your payment information is governed by Stripe's own terms and privacy policy.
• Taxes. Prices do not include sales tax, value added tax, goods and services tax or similar taxes unless the checkout page says they do. Any tax that applies will be shown at checkout and added to your total.
• Delivery. After payment we send your license key to the email address you gave at checkout. The Software is delivered by download. Your order is complete when the license key is issued.
• Errors. If a price is listed in error, we may cancel the order and refund any amount paid.

Refunds and Chargebacks

You may ask for a full refund within 14 days of purchase by sending a request through our contact form. Our Refund Policy explains the process. When a refund is issued, the license and all of its activations are revoked, and your rights to use the Software under that license end.

If you file a chargeback or payment dispute, we may suspend the license and its activations while the dispute is open. If the dispute is decided in your favor, the license is revoked as if refunded. If it is decided in our favor, we will restore the license. Please contact us first so we can try to fix the problem.

Your Account and Security

• You sign in to your Account with a one-time code sent to the email address you used at purchase. Two-factor authentication is available on the Account, and we recommend that you turn it on.
• You must keep your license key, sign-in codes and authenticator confidential. Do not share or publish your license key. You are responsible for activity under your Account and license key.
• If you believe your license key or Account has been misused, tell us promptly through our contact form. We may deactivate computers, issue a replacement key or take other reasonable steps to protect the license.

Templates, Importer and Course Catalogue: Your Responsibility

The Software includes premade templates, an importer that converts existing material (for example PowerPoint decks and Storyline content, plus pictures, audio and video) and a white-label course catalogue. We provide these 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 catalogue courses. 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 (for example health, safety, legal, financial or regulated topics), before you deploy it.

To the fullest extent the law allows, PVI Technologies is not liable for the content of templates or catalogue courses, for material you import, or for any result of the importer, including any error, omission or change introduced in conversion. Imported results may not match the source exactly.

You confirm that you own, or have all rights and permissions needed for, everything you import or add to the Software, and that your use of it does not infringe anyone's rights or break any law. The white-label catalogue is licensed to you under the terms in the EULA.

Acceptable Use

You may not:

• share, publish or sell license keys, or use one license on more computers than it allows;
• bypass, disable, tamper with or interfere with activation, license checks, trial limits or any other protection in the Software, the Site or the Account;
• create or use key generators, cracks or patched copies of the Software;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the extent the law expressly allows despite this limit;
• probe, scan, overload or attack the Site, the Account or our license server, or try to access accounts or data that are not yours; or
• use the Site or Software for anything unlawful, harmful, fraudulent or infringing.

We may suspend or revoke a license, its activations or an Account if we reasonably believe these Terms or the EULA have been broken. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you first through the Account and give you a chance to fix the problem. No refund is due for a license revoked for breach, except where the law requires it.

Intellectual Property

The Site, the Software, templates, the course catalogue and all related materials are owned by PVI Technologies or its licensors and are protected by law. "AuthorLearn" and "AuthorLearn Studio" are trademarks of PVI Technologies, LLC. You get only the rights these Terms and the EULA grant. You keep all rights you have in your own content.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

Export Controls and Sanctions

The Software is subject to U.S. 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 to anyone in breach of those laws.

Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, THE SITE, THE ACCOUNT, THE SOFTWARE, TEMPLATES, THE IMPORTER AND THE COURSE CATALOGUE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, 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 THEY WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT IMPORTED CONTENT WILL MATCH ITS SOURCE, THAT TEMPLATES OR CATALOGUE COURSES ARE ACCURATE, CURRENT, COMPLIANT OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSE, OR THAT PUBLISHED COURSES WILL WORK WITH ANY PARTICULAR LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, PVI TECHNOLOGIES AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS WILL NOT 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, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, THE ACCOUNT 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 places do not allow some of these exclusions or limits. In those places they apply to the greatest extent the law allows.

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 catalogue courses you deploy; (b) material you import or add to the Software; (c) your breach of these Terms or the EULA; or (d) your breach of any law or of anyone's rights. We will tell you about any such claim and may take part in the defense with our own counsel at our own cost.

Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract under the law where you live.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new version on this page with a new effective date, and for material changes we will give reasonable notice on the Site or in your Account. Changes apply going forward. They do not reduce the rights you already have under a license you bought before the change, and they do not change the Order Terms of a completed purchase.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are 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 these Terms, the Site, the Account 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. Before starting any claim, please contact us through our contact form so we can try to resolve it informally.
