Acceptable Use
You must not use the Helix software in any way that causes, or may cause, damage to the Helix software or impairment of the availability or accessibility of the Helix software to you or others. Helix is not currently certified for use in national security or critical infrastructure applications.
You must not use Helix in any way that causes reputational damage to RedEye Technologies or Helix, including for the use of Helix in any illegal or unethical activities. We reserve the right to terminate your licence to use Helix if we believe you are using it in a way that is harmful to us or our reputation.
Intellectual Property
We own all intellectual property rights in the Helix software, including any updates or supplements to the software. All rights not expressly granted to you in this EULA are reserved.
Warranty
We warrant that the Helix software will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase. If the Helix software is found to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair or replace the software at our discretion.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage, whether direct or indirect, that you may suffer as a result of using the Helix software. In no event shall we be liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of data, or any other loss or damage arising from the use of the Helix software.
Termination
We may terminate this EULA (and thus your licence to use the Helix software) immediately if you breach any of the terms of this EULA. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Helix software and destroy all copies of the Helix software in your possession.
Governing Law
This EULA is governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from this EULA shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
Changes to this EULA
We reserve the right to change this EULA at any time. Any changes will be posted on the Helix website. Your continued use of the Helix software after any changes to this EULA will constitute your acceptance of those changes.
We will aim to publish a new version of this EULA at least 30 days before it comes into effect. If you do not agree to the new version of this EULA, you must cease all use of the Helix software and destroy all copies of the Helix software.
