SHRED AND SEE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Version 1.0, effective 2026-09-18
Licensor: Rainlatch (rainlatch.com). Contact: support@rainlatch.com

Please read this agreement before using Shred and See. By copying or using
the Software you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the
Software and request a refund through the store where you bought it, subject
to that store's refund policy.

1. DEFINITIONS
"Software" means Shred and See, version 1.0.0 and any later version Rainlatch
supplies under this agreement, including the executable programs (ShredAndSee,
ShredAndSee-cli), documentation and icons. "Demo" means the free program
ShredAndSee-Demo, which scans and shows drive information only. "You" means
the single natural person to whom the license is granted.

2. LICENSE GRANT
Subject to payment of the purchase price and to this agreement, Rainlatch
grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to
use the Software on computers that you personally own or control, for any
lawful purpose, including paid or commercial work. This is a single-user
license. An organisation must obtain one license for each person who uses the
Software.

The Demo is licensed free of charge under the same terms, except that you may
also pass on unmodified copies of the Demo download, complete with this file,
as long as you do not charge for it.

3. RESTRICTIONS
You may not:
  a. copy the Software except for a reasonable number of backup copies for
     your own use;
  b. distribute, sell, resell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, share, upload
     or otherwise make the Software or your download available to anyone
     else, in whole or in part, in any form (the Demo excepted, as stated in
     section 2);
  c. modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works of the Software;
  d. reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or extract the contents of the
     Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits
     despite this restriction, or to the extent that the license of a
     third-party component listed in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt permits it for
     that component;
  e. remove, hide or alter any copyright, trademark or other notice;
  f. use the Software on a drive, a computer or files that you do not own and
     are not authorised to examine, recover from or erase, or in violation of
     any law or of another person's rights.

4. OWNERSHIP
The Software is licensed, not sold. Rainlatch and its licensors retain all
right, title and interest in the Software, including all intellectual property
rights. The files you recover and everything else on your drives are yours;
Rainlatch claims no rights in them and never receives them.

5. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS
The Software includes open-source components listed in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt.
Each such component is governed by its own license, which may grant you rights
that this agreement does not, including the right to obtain that component's
source code. Nothing in this agreement limits the rights those licenses grant
you for those components.

6. NO WARRANTY
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
ACCURACY OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED. IN
PARTICULAR, RAINLATCH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY DELETED FILE CAN BE FOUND OR
RECOVERED, THAT A RECOVERED FILE HAS ITS ORIGINAL CONTENT, OR THAT DATA ERASED
WITH THE SOFTWARE CAN NEVER BE READ AGAIN BY ANY MEANS. THE MANUAL (README.md)
DESCRIBES THE LIMITS THAT APPLY TO SOLID STATE DRIVES, TRIM AND FAT32. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO PARTS OF
THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RAINLATCH SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY
LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS,
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED AND
UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. RAINLATCH'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE
AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.

8. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Shredding and wiping free space destroy data on purpose and cannot be undone.
You alone choose what is shredded, and you confirm it by typing a word before
it starts. Check the list before you confirm, and keep backups of anything you
may still need. Scanning never writes to the scanned drive, and recovery
writes only to the folder you choose on a different drive; you remain
responsible for checking recovered files before relying on them, in particular
for legal, regulatory, medical or financial work. Before you sell, give away
or dispose of a drive, follow the guidance the Software shows for that drive:
for a solid state drive that means the drive maker's secure erase or the
Windows reset option that cleans the drive, not overwriting single files.

9. TERM AND TERMINATION
This agreement lasts until terminated. It terminates automatically if you
breach any of its terms. On termination you must stop using the Software and
delete all copies. Sections 4 through 8 and 11 survive termination.

10. UPDATES
Rainlatch may, but is not obliged to, provide updates. Updates are covered by
this agreement unless they come with a different license.

11. GENERAL
This agreement is the entire agreement between you and Rainlatch about the
Software and replaces any earlier communication. If any provision is held
unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is
not a waiver. This agreement is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in
which Rainlatch is established, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
