End User License Agreement
Last updated 29 August 2026
This agreement is between you and the owner of Pagequire, a sole proprietorship in California, United States ("we", "us"), and governs your use of the Pagequire software. By installing or using Pagequire you accept it. The proprietor's full legal name is available on request.
1. What you own, and what we own
Everything you make with Pagequire is yours. Your manuscripts, artwork, layouts, exported PDFs, EPUBs and metadata belong to you. We claim no ownership, no license and no royalty in your work, and you owe us nothing for anything you publish or sell.
Pagequire itself is licensed to you, not sold. We retain all rights in the software.
2. Your license
Subject to this agreement, you get a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Pagequire.
- One person, any number of their own machines. The license is for you. Install it on your desktop and your laptop. Do not share your key with other people; if a second person needs it, they need their own license.
- Commercial use is included. Sell what you make. That is the point.
- Perpetual. The version you are entitled to keeps working forever. There is no expiry and nothing is ever taken away.
3. The free version
Pagequire may be used without a license key, in which case exports are watermarked proof files. This is intended for evaluation and for internal review copies. Removing, obscuring or circumventing the watermark is a breach of this agreement.
4. What you may not do
- Share, resell, sublicense or publish your license key.
- Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except to the extent that law expressly permits despite this restriction.
- Remove or alter copyright or license notices.
- Circumvent the license check or the proof watermark.
5. Updates
Your purchase includes 12 months of updates from the date you buy. Every version released in that window is yours permanently, and you may keep using it for as long as you like.
After 12 months the software does not stop, expire, or lose features. You simply stop receiving new versions. You may buy a further year of updates at the renewal price published on our website at the time, and you may do so at any point — there is no penalty for letting it lapse and renewing later.
Pagequire checks for updates when it starts and will not download or install anything without asking you first. See the privacy policy for what that check discloses.
6. Third-party components
Pagequire includes open source components and a color profile provided by third parties, listed in notices. Those components are governed by their own licenses, which take precedence over this agreement for those components.
7. No warranty
Pagequire is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
Specifically: we do not warrant that a file produced by Pagequire will be accepted by any printer, that printed color will match your screen or a soft proof, or that the print specifications we check against are current at the moment you upload. Printers change their requirements without notice. Always order a physical proof before ordering a print run.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability under this agreement is limited to the amount you paid for the license. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits, printing or reprinting costs, wasted stock, or lost time.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, so they may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
9. Termination
This license ends if you materially breach it, or if your purchase is refunded or charged back. On termination you must stop using the licensed features. Files you have already exported remain yours.
10. Governing law
the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law rules, and without depriving consumers of the mandatory protections of their own country.
