End User License Agreement

Section 1 — Definitions

Section 2 — Grant of License

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and timely payment of applicable License fees, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use one (1) copy of the Software on a single Licensed Device for personal, non-commercial, home education purposes.

This License is personal to you. You may not assign, transfer, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise convey your rights under this Agreement to any other person or entity.

Section 3 — License Tiers and Permitted Uses

The Software is licensed in four Tiers. Your permitted uses depend on the Tier you have purchased:

Upgrading your Tier requires purchase of a new License at the higher Tier's fee. Your existing data transfers automatically upon Tier upgrade on the same device.

3.1 — Demo Tier Specific Terms

The Demo Tier is provided for evaluation purposes only and may not be used as the primary educational record system for any student. Demo sessions do not persist student data between sessions. Misrepresenting Demo use as a paid License to any educational or government authority constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

Section 4 — Hardware Binding and License Activation

4.1 Single-Device Restriction

Each License Key activates on one Licensed Device only. The Software generates a hardware fingerprint upon activation. The License Key is cryptographically bound to that fingerprint and will not activate on a different device.

4.2 Device Transfer

If your Licensed Device is lost, stolen, destroyed, or permanently replaced, contact the Company at contact@soverepath.com to request a License transfer to a new device. The Company will grant one (1) device transfer per License Term without charge. Additional transfers may require a re-activation fee.

4.3 No Emulation

Running the Software in a virtual machine or emulator that spoofs hardware identifiers to circumvent License Key binding is a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate License revocation without refund.

4.4 License Verification

Upon activation and during update checks (which are user-initiated only, never automatic), the Software transmits the hardware fingerprint and License Key to the Company's servers solely to verify License validity. No student data, lesson content, or personal information is transmitted during this process.

Section 5 — Restrictions

Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, you shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Software, except to the limited extent permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this restriction;
• Circumvent, disable, or tamper with the License Key verification system, hardware binding, content encryption, or digital signature verification;
• Distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or transfer the Software, License Key, or any copies thereof to any third party;
• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary rights notices within the Software;
• Use the Software for commercial purposes, including as part of a paid tutoring service, institutional school, learning center, or any educational service offered to families other than your own;
• Attempt to generate, forge, or create .scode curriculum packages without proper authorization from the Company;
• Use the Software in any jurisdiction subject to U.S. export restrictions or in violation of Section 13 of this Agreement;
• Use AI Tutor outputs as medical, legal, psychological, or professional advice, or as a substitute for evaluation by a licensed professional.

Section 6 — Fees, Renewal, and Continued Use

6.1 License Fee

Each paid Tier requires a License fee at purchase. The License Term begins on the date of activation. Annual renewal entitles you to software updates, new features, bug fixes, and continued access to support during the renewal term. Renewal pricing: Untethered $55 · Liberated $90 · Sovereign $139.

6.2 Renewal

Licenses do not auto-renew. Renewal is manual and initiated by you. You will receive a renewal reminder by email before your License Term expires. To renew, visit soverepath.com/pricing or contact contact@soverepath.com.

6.3 Non-Renewal and Continued Use

Upon non-renewal, you will no longer receive software updates, new features, bug fixes, or technical support. The Software will display an "Expired" status and prompt you to renew to resume receiving updates. Your data remains encrypted on your device and is never deleted or made inaccessible as a result of non-renewal.

6.4 Price Changes

The Company may change License fees for future renewal periods upon at least 60 days' notice sent to the email address on your account. Your continued use after the new price takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.

6.5 Refund Policy

We offer a full refund of your initial License purchase price within fourteen (14) days of activation, no questions asked. Renewal payments are non-refundable. To request a refund, contact contact@soverepath.com within the 14-day window.

6.6 Taxes

License fees are exclusive of applicable sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes. You are responsible for all taxes imposed on your purchase of the License, except for taxes on the Company's income.

Section 7 — Student Data and Privacy

7.1 Local Storage Only

All student data — including names, dates of birth, grades, lesson progress, quiz results, notes, and generated transcripts — is stored exclusively on the Licensed Device. The Company does not receive, store, process, transmit, or have access to any student data at any time.

7.2 Licensee as Data Controller

You are the sole controller of all student data stored within the Software. You are responsible for complying with any applicable data privacy laws regarding student records in your jurisdiction. The Company has no role as a data processor, custodian, or co-controller of student data.

7.3 Children's Privacy

The Software is designed for use by adult parents and homeschool educators. Unplugged Technologies does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 through the Software, the Company website, or any related service. The Software's architecture ensures no student data — including data about children under 13 — ever leaves the Licensed Device or reaches the Company's systems. This design is intentional and has been documented as a core privacy protection.

7.4 AI Tutor Data

Conversations with the AI Tutor (Sovereign Tier) are processed entirely on the Licensed Device using a locally installed AI model. No AI Tutor conversation, question, or response is transmitted to the Company, to the AI model's developer, or to any third party. AI Tutor history remains solely on the Licensed Device under the Licensee's control.

7.5 Backup Responsibility

The Company is not responsible for loss of student data. You are responsible for maintaining backups of the Licensed Device or the application's data directory. The Company recommends regular backups to an external drive or encrypted cloud storage.

Section 8 — Disclaimer of Warranties

IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

8.1 Educational Outcomes

The Company makes no warranty or representation regarding educational outcomes, student achievement, academic progress, or the suitability of any Content for any particular student's educational needs.

8.2 AI Tutor Accuracy

The AI Tutor is powered by a general-purpose AI language model and may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate responses. AI Tutor outputs are not reviewed or endorsed by the Company and should not be relied upon as authoritative academic instruction. Parents and educators retain responsibility for reviewing AI Tutor responses before presenting them to students.

8.3 Transcript Compliance

The Software generates state-formatted transcript templates based on publicly available homeschool reporting information. This information is provided for convenience only. The Company does not warrant that any transcript generated by the Software will satisfy the requirements of any specific institution, state agency, scholarship program, military branch, or other organization. You are responsible for verifying that your transcripts meet applicable requirements.

8.4 Curriculum Content

Third-party curriculum Content available through the marketplace is provided by independent publishers. The Company does not review, endorse, or warrant the accuracy, appropriateness, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any third-party Content.

Section 9 — Limitation of Liability

IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

(A) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY, DENIAL OF ADMISSION, OR FAILURE TO RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIP OR FINANCIAL AID, EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

(B) THE COMPANY'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (I) THE TOTAL LICENSE FEES PAID BY YOU TO THE COMPANY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (II) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Section 10 — Intellectual Property

10.1 Company Ownership

The Software, including all source code, object code, interfaces, documentation, graphics, and AI model integration layer, is owned by Unplugged Technologies, LLC and protected by United States copyright law, trade secret law, and international treaties. This Agreement grants you a license, not ownership. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any intellectual property rights to you.

10.2 Trademarks

"SoVere," "Unplugged Technologies," the SoVere owl logo, and all related marks are trademarks or registered trademarks of Unplugged Technologies, LLC. You may not use these marks without the Company's prior written permission.

10.3 User Content

Any notes, custom lesson annotations, or other content you create within the Software remain your property. The Company makes no claim to ownership of content you create. You retain all rights to student records, transcripts, and course materials you author within the Software.

10.4 Open Source Components

The Software includes certain open source software components. A list of open source components and their applicable licenses is available within the Software at Settings → About → Open Source Notices. These open source licenses apply to their respective components only and do not modify the terms of this Agreement with respect to the proprietary portions of the Software.

Section 11 — Term and Termination

11.1 Term

This Agreement is effective from the date you first install or use the Software and continues indefinitely, as SoVere is a perpetual-use license. Annual renewal is required only to receive ongoing software updates and support.

11.2 Termination by You

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by uninstalling the Software and destroying all copies. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as provided in Section 6.5.

11.3 Termination by the Company for Cause

The Company may terminate this Agreement and revoke your License Key immediately and without notice if you:

• Materially breach any provision of this Agreement and fail to cure the breach within 10 days of written notice;
• Attempt to circumvent the License Key system or hardware binding;
• Use the Software in violation of applicable law;
• Engage in chargebacks, fraud, or payment disputes in bad faith.

11.4 Effect of Termination for Cause

Upon termination for cause under Section 11.3, your License Key will be revoked and the Software will revert to Demo Mode. Note that non-renewal of a License (Section 6.3) is not termination — an expired License retains full functionality indefinitely; only updates and support are discontinued. Sections 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.4, 12, 13, and 14 survive termination.

11.5 Data Upon Termination

Termination of your License does not delete your data. Your student records remain encrypted on your device. If the Software reverts to Demo Mode following termination for cause, your data directory remains intact and will be fully accessible upon License reactivation.

Section 12 — Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

12.1 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating any formal dispute process, you agree to first contact the Company at contact@soverepath.com with a written description of the dispute and the relief you seek. The parties will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days of the Company's receipt of your notice.

12.2 Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Agreement. The arbitration will take place in Travis County, Texas, or, at your option, may be conducted by telephone or video if your claim is $10,000 or less. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

12.4 Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of this Section 12 by sending written notice to contact@soverepath.com within 30 days of the date you first agreed to this Agreement.

If you opt out, any dispute must be resolved in court under Section 12.5.

12.5 Exceptions

Notwithstanding Section 12.2, either party may bring claims in small claims court for disputes within the court's jurisdictional limits. Either party may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.
