Overseer Studio End User License Agreement

Version 1.0

Last revised on: August 25, 2026


Overseer Studio (the "Software") is a copyrighted work belonging to Infinite Turtles, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("Company", "us", "our", and "we").

This End User License Agreement (this "Agreement") is a legally binding contract between you and Company that governs your installation and use of the Software. It is separate from, and in addition to, the Website Terms of Use that govern your use of overseer.studio (the "Site").

BY CLICKING "I AGREE", INSTALLING, ACTIVATING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO IT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE, REMOVE ALL COPIES FROM YOUR DEVICES, AND REQUEST A REFUND IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER SECTION 10.

THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED TO YOU, NOT SOLD. YOU ARE PURCHASING A LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE UNDER THE TERMS BELOW. YOU DO NOT ACQUIRE OWNERSHIP OF THE SOFTWARE OR OF ANY COPY OF IT.

PLEASE READ SECTION 19 CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 19.6, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO BRING YOUR CLAIMS IN A COURT OF LAW AND YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY DECIDE YOUR DISPUTE, EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT.

"Device" means a single physical or virtual computer.

"Free Version" means the version of the Software that may be installed and used without a License Key, with the limited feature set Company makes available from time to time.

"Household" means you and the individuals who share your primary residence with you.

"License Key" means the unique alphanumeric credential issued to you by Company upon purchase, which unlocks the Licensed Version.

"Licensed Version" means the full-featured version of the Software unlocked by a valid License Key.

"Plugin" means any extension, template, dataset, translation, theme, or other add-on designed to run within or extend the Software, whether created by Company, by you, or by a third party.

"Your Content" means the documents, notes, images, audio, video, PDFs, configurations, screen layouts, and other materials you create, import, embed, or store using the Software.


2. License Grant

2.1 Free Version

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Company grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Free Version on any number of Devices you own or control, for as long as Company makes the Free Version available.

2.2 Licensed Version

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and your payment in full, Company grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Licensed Version on any number of Devices you own or control, subject to the Activation limit in Section 3.

This license is perpetual, meaning it does not expire and does not require a recurring payment, and it continues until terminated under Section 14. A perpetual license is not the same as ownership. Company retains all title to and ownership of the Software, as described in Section 8.

2.3 Scope of Permitted Use

The license granted in Section 2.2 permits both personal and commercial use of the Software. By way of example and not limitation, you may use the Software while running paid game sessions, while producing streamed or recorded content, and in the course of your employment or business.


3. Activation and the One-Device Rule

3.1 Unlimited Installations, One Active Activation

You may install the Licensed Version on as many Devices as you own or control. However, your License Key may be Activated on only one Device at any given time. The Software is designed for use by a single person on a single Device at a time; it is not a multi-seat or concurrent-user product.

3.2 Moving Between Devices

You may move your Activation between your Devices as often as you like and at no cost. You may deactivate a Device from within the Software or from your account dashboard at overseer.studio. Activating your License Key on a new Device may automatically deactivate the previously Activated Device.

Company may impose commercially reasonable rate limits on how frequently a License Key may be reactivated in order to detect and prevent abuse. Company will not set those limits so low as to interfere with ordinary personal use, including regular movement between a desktop and a laptop.

3.3 Offline Use and the Grace Period

The Software is designed to operate offline. An internet connection is required only to Activate or deactivate a Device, to check the status of your License Key, and to download updates or Plugins.

Once a Device is Activated, the Licensed Version will continue to function without an internet connection for a grace period of fourteen (14) consecutive days. If the Software has not been able to reach Company's licensing service by the end of that grace period, the Licensed Version will revert to the Free Version feature set until connectivity is restored and the License Key is revalidated. Revalidation is automatic once the Software can reach the licensing service.

Reverting to the Free Version does not delete, encrypt, lock, or otherwise render inaccessible any of Your Content.

3.4 What Activation Transmits

To Activate, deactivate, or revalidate, the Software transmits your License Key, a non-reversible hardware identifier derived from the Device, the Software version, and the operating system family. Company uses this information solely to enforce the Activation limit in Section 3.1, to provide support, and to detect abuse. Company does not use it to track your activity within the Software or to build an advertising profile. Company's handling of this and all other information is described in the Privacy Policy.

3.5 Licensing Service Availability

Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep its licensing service available. If Company's licensing service is unavailable for reasons within Company's control at the time your grace period would otherwise expire, Company will extend the grace period for the duration of that unavailability.

If Company permanently discontinues the Software or ceases to operate its licensing service, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to release a version of the Software, or a tool for use with it, that permits continued use of the Licensed Version without Activation.


4. Household Use

You may share your License Key with members of your Household, provided that all other terms of this Agreement are upheld and that the one-Activation-at-a-time limit in Section 3.1 is respected at all times.

You remain responsible for any use of your License Key by members of your Household, and for any breach of this Agreement arising from that use.

Except as expressly permitted in this Section 4 and in Section 9, you may not share, publish, distribute, lend, or otherwise make your License Key available to any other person.


5. Restrictions

You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

(a) rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, or otherwise transfer the Software, any copy of the Software, or your License Key, except as expressly permitted by Section 9;

(b) publish, post, upload, or otherwise make your License Key publicly available, or offer it for sale or exchange;

(c) use your License Key on more than one Device at a time, or attempt to obtain more concurrent Activations than you have purchased licenses for;

(d) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law or expressly permitted by Section 12;

(e) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or otherwise attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law, including Article 6 of Directive 2009/24/EC for users in the European Union;

(f) remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice contained in the Software;

(g) use the Software to facilitate or engage in the unlawful distribution of copyright-protected material, or to store, display, or distribute material you do not have the right to use;

(h) use the Software to build a competing product or service, or for the purpose of benchmarking against a competing product or service for publication without Company's prior written consent; or

(i) use the Software in violation of any applicable law.

Your license under Section 2.2 will terminate automatically, without notice, if you materially breach this Section 5, subject to the enforcement process described in Section 14.


6. Technical Protection Measures

The Activation mechanism described in Section 3 is a technological measure that effectively controls access to a copyrighted work within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 1201 and analogous laws in other jurisdictions.

You shall not circumvent, disable, bypass, defeat, or interfere with that mechanism, or with any other security or license-enforcement feature of the Software. You shall not manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, traffic in, or distribute any device, product, component, service, tool, patch, keygen, or instruction set primarily designed or produced for that purpose.

Nothing in this Section 6 restricts conduct that is expressly permitted by applicable law, including permitted security research and interoperability activities.


7. Backup Copies

You may make copies of the Software for personal archival and backup purposes. You may not distribute those copies to any other person. All copies remain subject to this Agreement.


8. Ownership

The Software is licensed to you, not sold. Company retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property rights, and including all copies of the Software however made.

This Agreement grants you only the limited rights expressly set out in it. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Company. There are no implied licenses under this Agreement.

The Software is protected by the copyright laws of the United States and other countries. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit or limit any use that is a fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 or that is otherwise expressly permitted by applicable copyright law.


9. License Transfer

9.1 Transfer Within 30 Days

You may permanently transfer your license, including your License Key, to another person within thirty (30) days of your original purchase, using the license transfer request process available in your account dashboard at overseer.studio or by writing to support@overseer.studio.

A transfer is effective only when Company has processed it. Upon transfer:

  • the recipient becomes bound by this Agreement;
  • your rights under this Agreement terminate; and
  • you must permanently remove all copies of the Licensed Version from your Devices and destroy any backup copies made under Section 7, unless you hold another valid license.

You may not divide, split, or partially transfer a license.

9.2 No Other Transfer

Except as expressly permitted by Section 9.1 or Section 9.3, your license and License Key are non-transferable. You may not sell, resell, rent, lease, lend, or otherwise transfer them, and any purported transfer in violation of this Section is void and confers no rights on the recipient.

9.3 European Union and European Economic Area

If you acquired your license while resident in the European Union or the European Economic Area, and applicable law confers on you a right to resell your license that cannot be excluded by contract, this Agreement does not purport to exclude it. In that case you may transfer your license at any time, provided that:

  • you transfer the license in its entirety and do not retain any part of it;
  • you permanently render your own copies of the Software unusable at the time of transfer and delete Your Content from those copies; and
  • you notify Company at support@overseer.studio so that Company may reissue or reassign the License Key to the recipient.

The recipient becomes bound by this Agreement upon the transfer.


10. Purchase, Pricing, and Refunds

10.1 One-Time Purchase

The Licensed Version is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription fee and no recurring charge. Company will not condition your continued use of a version of the Software you have already licensed on any future payment.

10.2 Refunds

You may request a full refund of your purchase price within thirty (30) days of your original purchase, for any reason, by writing to support@overseer.studio. Upon a refund, your license terminates and you must remove all copies of the Licensed Version from your Devices.

10.3 Consumer Withdrawal Rights

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from your purchase within fourteen (14) days. Company's thirty-day refund policy in Section 10.2 is at least as favorable to you as that statutory right, and Company will honor whichever is more favorable to you. Nothing in this Agreement limits or waives any statutory withdrawal or cancellation right you have.


11. Your Content

You retain all ownership of Your Content. Company claims no right, title, or interest in Your Content.

Your Content is stored locally on your Devices. Company does not access, collect, transmit, or store Your Content.

You retain ownership of Your Content even if your license is terminated, suspended, transferred, or refunded. You are solely responsible for backing up Your Content and for complying with any license, terms of service, or other agreement applicable to material you import into or embed within the Software, including PDFs, images, audio, video, and third-party websites.


12. Plugins

12.1 Using Plugins

The Software supports Plugins. Plugins run inside the Software and may, through the Overseer SDK, hook into application events and communicate with other Plugins. You are responsible for deciding which Plugins to install.

Your right to install and use Plugins is tied to your license. A Plugin installation or entitlement is associated with a specific License Key and is not separately transferable, except as part of a license transfer under Section 9.

12.2 Third-Party Plugins

Plugins developed by anyone other than Company are third-party software. Company does not create, control, review, audit, endorse, verify, or warrant third-party Plugins, and Company is not responsible for them.

A third-party Plugin is licensed to you by its developer, not by Company, on whatever terms that developer provides. Your dealings with a Plugin developer are solely between you and that developer.

Because Plugins execute code within the Software and may access application events and material you have loaded into the Software, installing a Plugin carries risk. You install and use third-party Plugins at your own risk. Company disclaims all liability arising from third-party Plugins to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, subject to Section 17.

Company may, at its discretion, remove a Plugin from the marketplace at overseer.studio, or disable a Plugin within the Software, where Company reasonably believes the Plugin is malicious, unlawful, or a security risk to users.

12.3 Paid Plugins

Plugins are currently offered free of charge. Company may in the future make paid Plugins available. If and when it does, the following apply:

(a) a paid Plugin entitlement is associated with the License Key used to purchase it;

(b) the terms of sale, the identity of the seller, the applicable refund policy, and the applicable tax treatment will be disclosed to you at the point of purchase, and those terms will govern that purchase;

(c) if Company suspends or terminates your license under Section 14, that suspension or termination does not, by itself, extinguish a paid Plugin entitlement you have already purchased. If your license is later reinstated, or if you acquire a new license, Company will restore your paid Plugin entitlements to that license on request; and

(d) Company will not retroactively convert a Plugin you have already obtained free of charge into one requiring payment for continued use of the version you already have.

12.4 Developing Plugins

Company grants you a license to develop, publish, and distribute Plugins, subject to the following:

(a) You may create Plugins that use, reference, or interoperate with the Overseer SDK and with published Software interfaces. You may include portions of Software code only to the extent strictly necessary for the Plugin to function.

(b) You may not publish a Plugin that functions in the absence of the Software, or that reproduces the Software in whole or in substantial part.
