End User License Agreement
Version 1.0. Effective 27 July 2026.
This Agreement is between you and Merovex Press LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Merovex,” “we,” “us”). It governs your use of Verkilo, including the desktop application, any bundled components, and updates we provide (the “Software”).
By purchasing, installing, or using the Software, you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the Software.
1. License Grant
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software on up to three devices that you own or control, for as long as this Agreement remains in effect.
If you purchased a license on behalf of an organization, the license is held by that organization and may be assigned to one individual user at a time.
2. What You May Not Do
You may not:
- Distribute, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or lend the Software
- Share, publish, or resell your license key
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except where that restriction is unenforceable under applicable law
- Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or license notice
- Use the Software to develop a competing product
- Circumvent or disable license validation or activation
3. Your Content Is Yours
The Software is a writing tool. You own everything you write with it. We claim no rights in your manuscripts, notes, projects, or other content (“Your Content”).
Verkilo stores Your Content locally on your device. We do not upload, transmit, read, or retain Your Content, and we do not use it to train any model. Where the Software connects to a third-party service at your direction, that service’s terms govern the data you send to it.
You are responsible for backing up Your Content.
4. Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. Merovex retains all right, title, and interest in the Software, including all intellectual property rights. This Agreement grants you no rights to our trademarks or trade dress.
5. Third-Party Components
The Software includes open source components licensed under their own terms. A complete list of those components and their licenses is available in the application under Help, then Licenses. Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under those licenses.
6. Updates
We may provide updates, patches, and new versions at our discretion. Updates are governed by this Agreement unless we deliver replacement terms with the update. We are not obligated to provide updates, support, or maintenance for any particular period.
7. Term and Termination
This Agreement takes effect when you first install or use the Software and continues until terminated.
You may terminate at any time by uninstalling the Software and destroying all copies.
We may terminate this Agreement if you materially breach it and do not cure the breach within thirty days of written notice. On termination, your license ends and you must uninstall the Software. Your Content remains yours, and you may retain and use the files it produced.
Sections 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and 11 survive termination.
8. No Warranty
The Software is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Merovex disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error free, or free of harmful components, or that it will meet your requirements.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Merovex will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or related to the Software or this Agreement, on any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Software or this Agreement will not exceed the amount you actually paid for the license in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10. Export and Government Use
You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Software in, a country subject to a United States government embargo, and that you are not listed on any United States government restricted party list.
The Software is commercial computer software. Government end users acquire only the rights set out in this Agreement, consistent with FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202.
11. Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
The exclusive venue for any dispute is the state and federal courts located in Wake County, North Carolina, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.
If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in force.
12. Trial and Refunds
The Software is available as a full-featured free trial for thirty days before purchase, so you can evaluate it before you pay.
Purchases are processed by our merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy, LLC, and refunds are handled by Lemon Squeezy under its refund policy as presented at the point of purchase, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Under that policy, refunds may be requested within fourteen days of purchase; after fourteen days, all sales are final.
If your purchase is refunded, your license under this Agreement ends and you must uninstall the Software.
13. Changes to This Agreement
We may revise this Agreement. The current version is published on our website, and prior versions are available upon request.
For non-material changes, the revised version takes effect for new installs and updates on publication. For material changes, we will request your acceptance in the application before the revised version applies to you. If you decline, you may continue using your current version under the terms you accepted, but you will not receive further updates.
14. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with the refund policy referenced in Section 12, is the entire agreement between you and Merovex regarding the Software, and supersedes any prior understanding. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent.
