End User License Agreement (EULA) for TypeCycle
Licensor: Thomas Kaltschmidt, bitmix cross media, Rolfskamp 15, 31832 Springe, contact@bitmix.de
Software: TypeCycle – document format conversion tool
Version: 09 September 2026
Please read this license agreement carefully before installing or using the software. By installing, copying, or otherwise using TypeCycle, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not install or use the software.
1. Subject Matter of the Agreement
The subject matter of this agreement is the software "TypeCycle," including its accompanying documentation (hereinafter the "Software"). The Software converts document content between supported formats (including RTF, HTML, InDesign Tags, and ICML) and is provided to the Licensee in executable form (object code).
2. Grant of License
Upon full payment of the agreed license fee, the Licensor grants the Licensee a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable right, limited to the term of the annual subscription, to install and use the Software on up to two (2) of the Licensee’s own devices.
Use on more than two devices, or by multiple persons simultaneously, is permitted only under a correspondingly extended license.
Activation of the Software takes place via a personal license key or activation against the Licensor's license server. The Licensee is obligated to keep the license key confidential and not to disclose it to third parties.
3. Restrictions on Use
The Licensee is not permitted to:
– reproduce the Software, except to the extent necessary for its intended use or for backup purposes;
– rent, lend, or otherwise make the Software available to third parties for use, whether for consideration or free of charge (sublicensing);
– reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except where expressly permitted by applicable mandatory law (in Germany, § 69e of the German Copyright Act (UrhG));
– remove or alter copyright notices, trademarks, serial numbers, or other identifying markings;
– circumvent or manipulate technical protection measures (e.g., license key verification).
4. Trial Version (Demo)
The Software may be used free of charge and without time limit in demo mode, without a license key. In demo mode, all features are available; the content of output documents is scrambled. Demo mode serves to evaluate the Software prior to a potential purchase.
Circumventing the functional limitation of demo mode (scrambling of output documents) is not permitted.
No warranty is provided for demo mode; Section 7 applies accordingly, limited to the extent legally permissible even with respect to intent and gross negligence.
5. Intellectual Property
All rights in the Software, in particular copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights, remain with the Licensor or its licensors. This agreement grants the Licensee only the rights of use set out in Section 2; no further rights are transferred.
6. Updates and Support
The Licensor may, but is not obligated to, provide updates, patches, or new versions of the Software.
The scope and duration of any support are governed by a separately agreed support arrangement or as described on the product website.
7. Warranty
The Licensor warrants that the Software substantially performs the functions described in the documentation.
Otherwise, the applicable statutory warranty provisions apply. In the event of remedy, the Licensor may, at its discretion, either correct the defect or provide a defect-free version.
No warranty is given that the Software will operate error-free or without interruption, or that all format conversions will be lossless.
8. Liability
The Licensor's liability is unlimited for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, and for damages caused by intent or gross negligence.
In the case of slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), the Licensor's liability is limited in amount to the damage typically foreseeable at the time the agreement was concluded.
Liability for slight negligence is otherwise excluded. Liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) remains unaffected.
The Licensee is solely responsible for backing up its data prior to conversion.
9. Term and Termination
The right of use exists for the term of the annual subscription and ends upon its expiry or termination, unless renewed. This is subject to the Licensee complying with the terms of this agreement.
The Licensor may revoke the right of use without notice in the event of a material breach of this agreement, in particular of Section 3.
Upon termination of the right of use, the Licensee must delete or uninstall the Software; continued use in unmodified demo mode remains permitted.
10. Data Processing
Personal data (e.g., license key, device ID) may be processed during activation and use of the Software. Details are set out in the Licensor's separate privacy policy.
11. Final Provisions
This agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
If the Licensee is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Springe/Hannover, Germany.
Should individual provisions of this agreement be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
Additional Terms for Purchases Through the Mac App Store
These provisions apply only if you obtained TypeCycle through the Mac App Store. They take precedence over the other provisions of this agreement to the extent that they conflict with them.
1. Contracting parties. This agreement is concluded solely between you and bitmix cross media, Thomas Kaltschmidt, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for TypeCycle or its content. This agreement does not conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; as between you and Apple, those terms continue to apply.
2. Scope of license. The license granted to you is non-transferable and covers the use of TypeCycle on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, to the extent permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions — including use via Family Sharing, where Apple provides for this in respect of the subscription.
3. Maintenance and support. bitmix cross media is solely responsible for maintenance and support for TypeCycle. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services.
4. Warranty. bitmix cross media alone owes the statutory warranty. Should TypeCycle fail to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple; Apple may then refund the purchase price paid. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Claims for failure to conform to a warranty are directed exclusively against bitmix cross media.
5. Product claims. bitmix cross media, and not Apple, is responsible for claims relating to TypeCycle. This applies in particular to product liability claims, claims arising from a failure to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection law or comparable provisions.
6. Third-party intellectual property. If a third party alleges that TypeCycle or your use of TypeCycle infringes its intellectual property rights, bitmix cross media alone, and not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such claim.
7. Compliance with export regulations. You represent that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. When using TypeCycle, you comply with all applicable export and import regulations.
