Flayr Software Licence Agreement

Version 3.0 · Last updated 4 October 2026 · Replaces the Fortan Software EULA v2.0

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) (“we”, “us”). It governs your use of any software product we supply (“the Software”), including its files, installers, code, presets, documentation and any updates we supply under it. That covers:

• Creative tools: scripts, plugins, extensions, panels and tool presets for Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro and other host applications, sold in the Flayr shop. Schedule A applies to these.
• Fortan Software: the self-hosted business application sold at fortanapp.flayrfx.com. Schedule B applies to it.

How this agreement fits together. Part 1 applies to all Software. The Schedule for your product adds the terms specific to it, and where a Schedule differs from Part 1, the Schedule wins for that product. A product page may also state product-specific terms (for example a team licence, the number of activations, or the versions supported); those form part of this agreement for that product.

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

Part 1 — Terms for all Software

1. What you are granted

Subject to payment in full (where the Software is not free) and your compliance with this agreement, we grant you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable licence to install and use the Software in the way set out in its Schedule and on its product page, and to make backup copies of it as good practice requires.

The Software is licensed, not sold. We keep 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

1. Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend or otherwise distribute the Software, in whole or in part, modified or not, whether for payment or free of charge.
2. Make the Software available on any marketplace, template or asset site, file-sharing service or public repository, or bundle it with anything else you distribute.
3. Share the Software files or your licence key with anyone not covered by your licence.
4. Use the Software’s code, in whole or substantial part, to create a product that is distributed or sold to others, or publish the code.
5. Remove, alter or obscure copyright or licence notices, or circumvent or interfere with any licensing, activation or update mechanism.
6. Use the Software or its code to train machine learning or artificial intelligence models.
7. Use the Software unlawfully, or in breach of the laws that apply to you and your business.

Nothing in this agreement limits rights you cannot lawfully be denied, for example rights under applicable law to observe, study or test how software works, or to decompile it for interoperability, to the extent such rights cannot be excluded by contract.

3. Licence keys and activation

Where a product uses a licence key, we issue it with your purchase. Activation may record your key together with your machine or domain and the version you use, and nothing else. Keep your key confidential: you are responsible for use of the Software under it. The Schedule and product page say how many activations or domains your licence covers.

4. Passing the licence on

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

5. Updates

The updates you are entitled to are set out in the Schedule and on the product page. Applying an update is your decision and your responsibility: back up your work first. We are not obliged to produce any particular update, or to keep producing updates indefinitely.

6. Modifying the Software

Where the Software is supplied as readable code (scripts and Fortan are), you may modify it for your own use within your licence. Two practical points: updates overwrite modified files, so keep a record of what you changed; and we cannot support a modified copy, so if something breaks we will ask you to reproduce it on an unmodified one. You may not distribute your modifications, since that would be distributing the Software.

7. Support

We provide support by email at support@flayrfx.com on a reasonable-endeavours basis, and for Fortan also through the licence-holders’ support forum. Support covers installing and using the unmodified Software. It does not cover your computer, hosting environment or host applications, your modifications, third-party software, or general training in After Effects, Premiere Pro or other applications.

8. Your responsibilities

• Meeting the published requirements, including any host application (such as Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro, which you must license separately from Adobe) and any hosting environment.
• Keeping backups of your projects, installations and data.
• The lawfulness of what you make or do with the Software, and the rights in any material you use with it.

9. Your data

Anything you create or store with the Software is yours. We claim no rights in it and, except as the Schedule describes for licence checks, the Software does not send it to us. Purchase data (such as your name, email address and billing country) is used to issue your licence, deliver your files and provide support, as described in our privacy policy.

10. Third-party components and services

Some Software includes open-source components, each under its own licence; those licences are included with the Software, and nothing in this agreement restricts your rights under them. Where the Software works with third-party services or applications, you must obtain your own access to them and accept their terms.

11. Buying, refunds and your statutory rights

• Creative tools are sold through the Flayr shop at flayrfx.com. Our terms and conditions govern the sale, and our returns and refunds policy explains cancellation and refunds.
• Fortan Software is sold through Paddle.com Market Limited as merchant of record. Paddle’s terms govern the payment, and the Fortan Terms of Service cover refunds and cancellation.

Nothing in this agreement removes statutory rights that cannot be excluded, including your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and, for Australian consumers, the guarantees of the Australian Consumer Law.

12. 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 computer, host application or hosting environment. Please check the published requirements, try any demo, and ask us before buying.

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.

13. Liability

Nothing in this agreement 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 or goodwill, or for loss or corruption of data or projects (backups are yours to keep);
• we are not liable for anything arising from your computer, host application or hosting environment, from a 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.

14. Termination

This licence lasts indefinitely. We may terminate it if you materially breach this agreement (in particular by redistributing the Software, sharing it or its key, or offering it to others as a service) and you do not put that right within 30 days of being asked. If we refund your purchase, your licence ends on the refund.

On termination you must stop using the Software and delete it, including from your computers and servers. Your own data and work remain yours (export what you need first), and work you have already lawfully published or delivered may remain published. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except where the law says otherwise.

15. Export

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

16. 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.

17. 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 versions of this agreement. A revised version applies to new purchases and to updates you choose to install after it is published, not retroactively to a version you already have. Previous versions remain available on request, and the Fortan EULA v2.0 is archived here.
• 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 your licence on only under section 4. 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.

Schedule A — Creative tools

This Schedule applies to scripts, plugins, extensions, panels and tool presets for Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro and other host applications.

A1. Who may use it

A licence is for one named individual, who may install the tool on the computers that he, she or they personally use (for example a desktop and a laptop). If more than one person needs to use a tool, each needs a licence, unless the product page offers a team or studio licence, which covers the number of people it states. A freelancer may use their own licence on client jobs and on client premises.

A2. What you make with it is yours

Everything you create with the tool (renders, project files, compositions, edits and client deliverables) is yours. You may use it in unlimited personal and commercial work, including for your clients and for broadcast, online, social and film release, with no royalties and no requirement to credit us. You may deliver project files that use the tool to a client, but the client needs their own licence to run the tool itself.

A3. Host applications

The tool needs its host application, which you must license separately. The product page states the versions we currently support. We will make reasonable efforts to update tools for new versions of their host applications, but cannot guarantee compatibility with versions released after your purchase. Adobe, After Effects and Premiere Pro are trade marks of Adobe Inc.; our tools are independent products and are not made or endorsed by Adobe.

A4. Updates

Updates we release for a tool you have bought are free and available from your account for as long as we offer them, unless the product page says a major new version is a paid upgrade. If it does, the version you bought keeps working.

A5. Activation

If a tool uses a licence key, the product page states how many computers it may be active on at once. You can deactivate it on one computer to move it to another.

A6. Free tools

Tools we give away free are licensed on the same terms, except that no payment is required.

Schedule B — Fortan Software

This Schedule applies to Fortan Software: the PHP application files, installer, database schema, demo data, documentation and updates. Its terms are carried over unchanged in substance from the Fortan Software EULA v2.0.

B1. What one licence covers

• Installing and using one copy of Fortan on one production domain (including its subdomain) on hosting under your control, for your business or that of the organisation that bought it.
• 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.
• Viewing and modifying the source code for your own use on your own licensed installation (see section 6).

B2. Not a service for others

You may not run Fortan as a hosted or multi-tenant service for third parties, that is, any arrangement whose substance is that someone else gets the use of Fortan without buying their own licence. If you are a freelancer or agency installing it for a client, that is fine and a normal thing to do, but the client needs their own licence for their own domain. One purchase, one production domain.

B3. Licence key and activation

Your licence key is delivered by email and on your download page. Fortan activates against our licence server, recording your key and production domain.

B4. Moving 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.

B5. 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 date your update period ends. After that your licence continues perpetually for the versions you have. Fortan 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.

B6. Licence checks, and what happens if we disappear

Fortan 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, and no business data.

Fortan continues to run if our licence server is unreachable. We do not build a kill switch into software people depend on to invoice their clients. If this company ceased to exist tomorrow, your installation would carry on working exactly as it does today. A revoked or refunded licence fails future activations and update checks; an installation that is already activated keeps working.

B7. Running it on your own hosting

Fortan is self-hosted. As well as section 8, you are responsible for meeting the published system requirements (PHP version and extensions, database, HTTPS); for the security and maintenance of your server and hosting account; for backups of your installation and database (Fortan’s export feature is an aid, not a backup service); for applying updates within a reasonable time, especially security releases; and for complying with the data protection law that applies to you.

B8. Your business data

Everything you put into Fortan (clients, jobs, invoices, budgets, files) lives in your own database on your own hosting. We have no access to it, and for the personal data of your own clients you are the controller.

B9. Optional integrations

Optional integrations (Anthropic for AI CV matching; Reed, Adzuna, Jooble and Careerjet for job search; your own SMTP provider for email) are off by default and need your own credentials and acceptance of those providers’ terms.

B10. Not professional advice

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