End User Licence Agreement

Version 2.0 · Last updated 26 August 2026

This agreement is between you (the "Licensee") and Flayr FX Limited, a company registered in Scotland (company number SC682689, registered office 15 Glenorchy Terrace, Edinburgh, EH9 2DQ), and governs your use of the Fortan Software application ("the Software") — the PHP application files, installer, database schema, demo data, documentation and any updates supplied to you under it. The commercial terms of your purchase are in the Terms of Service.

By purchasing a licence, downloading, installing or using the Software you accept this agreement. If you are accepting on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it, and "you" means that organisation.

1. What you are granted

Subject to payment in full and your compliance with this agreement, a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable licence to:

• install and use one copy of the Software on one production domain (including its subdomain) on hosting under your control, for your business or that of the organisation that bought it;
• run, at no extra cost, a local copy on your own computer for development, and a staging or test copy that is not publicly promoted and not used to conduct real business — neither counts against your production domain;
• view and modify the source code for your own use on your own licensed installation; and
• make backup copies of the Software and your data, as good practice requires.

The Software is licensed, not sold. Flayr FX Limited retains all intellectual property rights in it, and this agreement gives you no rights in our trade marks or branding.

2. What you may not do

• Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend or otherwise distribute the Software, in whole or in part, modified or not, for payment or free of charge.
• Run it as a hosted or multi-tenant service for third parties — that is, arrangements where the substance is that someone else gets the use of the Software without buying their own licence.
• Use the source code, in whole or substantial part, to create a product that is distributed or sold to others, or publish the source code publicly.
• Share your licence key with anyone outside your organisation, or transfer it except as this agreement allows.
• Remove, alter or obscure copyright or licensing notices, or circumvent or interfere with the licensing, activation or update mechanisms.
• Use the Software unlawfully, or in breach of the laws that apply to you and your business.

If you are a freelancer or agency installing it for a client: that is fine, and it is a normal thing to do — but the client needs their own licence for their own domain. One purchase, one production domain.

Nothing in this section limits rights you cannot lawfully be denied — for example, rights under applicable law to observe, study or test the functioning of software, or to decompile for interoperability to the extent such rights cannot be excluded by contract.

3. Licence keys and activation

On purchase you are issued one licence key, delivered by email and download page. The Software activates against our licence server, recording your key and production domain. Keep your key confidential — you are responsible for use of the Software under it.

4. Moving it to another domain

A licence may be active on one production domain at a time. You may release it and reactivate it elsewhere yourself, up to 5 transfers in any rolling twelve months. Beyond that, contact us — we will not unreasonably refuse a genuine request.

5. Passing the licence on

You may permanently transfer your licence to another person or organisation — for example, on the sale of your business — provided you transfer the whole licence including the key, stop using the Software and destroy your copies, the new owner accepts this agreement, and you tell us who they are so support and update entitlements can follow the licence.

6. Updates

A year of updates is included: for twelve months from the date of purchase you are entitled to every update we release, at no further charge. Your licence email states the exact date your update period ends.

After that, your licence continues perpetually for the versions you have — the Software does not stop working, and nothing needs renewing for it to keep running. Further updates, if we offer them, may require a renewal or upgrade purchase. We are not obliged to produce any particular update, or to keep producing them indefinitely.

Applying an update is your decision and your responsibility. Back up your database and your files first.

7. Modifying it

The Software ships as readable PHP and you may modify it for your own use on your own licensed domain. Two practical warnings rather than legal ones:

• Modified files are overwritten when you unzip an update over the top. Keep a record of what you changed.
• We cannot support a modified installation. If something breaks we will ask you to reproduce it on an unmodified copy.

You may not distribute your modifications, since that would be distributing the Software.

8. Support

Support is provided by email and through the licence-holders' support forum, on a reasonable-endeavours basis. It covers the unmodified Software; it does not cover your hosting environment, your modifications, or third-party software.

9. Licence checks, and what happens if we disappear

The Software contacts our licence server when you activate it and when it checks for updates. That exchange carries your licence key, your domain and your version number — no business data.

A revoked or refunded licence fails future activations and update checks. An installation that is already activated keeps working.

10. Your responsibilities

The Software is self-hosted: it runs on hosting you choose and control. You are responsible for:

• meeting the published system requirements (PHP version and extensions, database, HTTPS);
• the security and maintenance of your server and hosting account;
• backups of your installation and database — the Software's export feature is an aid, not a backup service;
• applying updates within a reasonable time, especially security releases;
• the lawfulness and accuracy of what you produce with it — your invoices, tax and VAT affairs, and your contracts with your own clients, remain yours; and
• complying with the data protection law that applies to you.

11. Your data, and ours

Your data is entirely yours. Everything you put into the Software — clients, jobs, invoices, budgets, files — lives in your own database on your own hosting. We claim no rights over it, we have no access to it, and for the personal data of your own clients you are the controller.

Purchase data (name, email, billing country) is processed by Paddle as merchant of record and by us to issue your licence and provide support, as described in our Privacy Policy.

12. Third-party components

The Software includes open-source components, each under its own licence, and those licences are included in the download. Nothing in this agreement restricts your rights under them.

Optional integrations — Anthropic for AI CV matching, Reed, Adzuna, Jooble and Careerjet for job search, your own SMTP provider for email — require you to obtain your own credentials and to accept those providers' terms. They are off by default.

13. Payment, refunds and your statutory rights

Orders are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited as merchant of record; Paddle's terms govern the payment, and this agreement governs the licence — see the Terms of Service for refunds and cancellation. Nothing in this agreement removes statutory rights that cannot be excluded, including consumer rights under the (UK) Consumer Rights Act 2015 and, for Australian consumers, the guarantees of the Australian Consumer Law.

14. No warranty

We warrant that we have the right to license the Software and that it will substantially match its published description at the time of purchase. Otherwise, to the extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "as is": we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it is compatible with your hosting environment — check the published requirements, try the live demo, and ask before buying.

The Software helps you run your business; it is not accounting, tax or legal advice, and we are not responsible for business decisions, filings or invoices you produce with it.

If you are a consumer, your statutory rights — including that digital content must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described — are unaffected by anything in this section.

15. Liability

Nothing here limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, and to the extent permitted by law:

• our total liability arising out of or in connection with this agreement is limited to the amount you paid for the licence;
• we are not liable for loss of profit, business, goodwill, or for loss or corruption of data — backups are yours to keep;
• we are not liable for anything arising from your hosting environment, from your failure to keep backups, or from modifications made by you or a third party.

If a third party brings a claim against us arising from your breach of this agreement, your modifications, or your unlawful use of the Software, you will indemnify us against the reasonable costs and damages of that claim.

16. Termination

This licence lasts indefinitely. We may terminate it if you materially breach this agreement — in particular by redistributing the Software, key-sharing, or running it as a service for others — and do not put that right within 30 days of being asked. On termination you must stop using the Software and remove it from your servers. Your own data remains yours; export it first. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except where the law says otherwise.

17. Export

You may not use or export the Software in breach of applicable export control or sanctions laws.

18. Governing law

This agreement, and any dispute arising out of it (including non-contractual disputes), is governed by the law of Scotland, and the courts of Scotland have exclusive jurisdiction — except that consumers keep the benefit of any mandatory protections, and any right to their local courts, given by the law of the country where they live.

19. General

• Entire agreement. This agreement, your order, and the documents it refers to are the whole agreement about the Software.
• Changes. We may issue revised terms with a new version of the Software; they apply to updates you choose to install and to new purchases, not retroactively to your existing installation.
• Severability. If part of this agreement is found unenforceable, the rest stands.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a clause is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may pass the licence on only under section 5. We may assign this agreement as part of a sale or reorganisation of our business, on notice, without reducing your rights.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
