Terms of Use and Licence Agreement

Version 2026-11

These are the terms every ParametrIQ program asks you to accept when you first start it, and again whenever they change.

Please read these terms before you use the software. They are an agreement between you and ParametrIQ. By clicking I Accept, or by using the software, you agree to them. If you don't agree, click Decline and the program will close.

1. The software

"The software" means this program and everything that comes with it: its updates, help, libraries, samples and files. It is licensed to you, not sold. ParametrIQ and its licensors keep all rights not given to you in these terms.

2. Your licence

While your licence is valid you may install and use the software for your own work or your organisation's, on as many computers at once as your licence allows (two for each licence unless your plan says otherwise). A paid licence lasts for the period you have paid for; a free licence lasts until it is withdrawn. The software checks its licence with ParametrIQ's licence server, and works for up to seven days without reaching it.

You may not: copy the software except to install it and to back it up; sell, rent, lend or sublicense it; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except as far as the law allows despite this term; get round or interfere with its licence checks; or remove its copyright and other notices.

3. Your work

Your drawings, designs, artwork and other files are yours: these terms give ParametrIQ no rights in them. The software sends nothing about your work to ParametrIQ unless you choose to, for example by sharing a drawing for review or sending a problem report. ParametrIQ's privacy policy, on its website, says how it treats what you send.

4. Check before you make

The software is a design aid. Designs, dimensions, cutting and creasing rules, dies, nests, sheet yields, estimates, cut lists, pallet plans, 3D models, artwork distortions, machine programs (G-code, HP-GL) and anything else it produces must be checked by you before you rely on them: before making tooling, ordering material, quoting, printing, or running a machine. The machine emulator shows what a program would do; it is not proof that the program is safe or right for your machine, its tooling or its material. You are responsible for your products, for safe use of your machines, and for meeting the rules that apply to your work.

5. No warranty

The software is provided "as is". As far as the law allows, ParametrIQ gives no warranty that it is free of errors, that it will run without interruption, or that it is fit for any particular purpose, and excludes all warranties and conditions that would otherwise be implied.

6. Limits of liability

As far as the law allows, ParametrIQ is not liable for any loss of profit, revenue, business, data or goodwill, for wasted materials, tooling or machine time, for damage to machines, or for any indirect or consequential loss, arising from the software or its use. ParametrIQ's total liability to you is limited to what you paid for the software in the twelve months before the claim (for free software, nothing).

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, nor your rights as a consumer where the law gives them.

7. Other software

The software includes components made by others, used under their own licences (some of them open-source licences). Those licences, not these terms, cover those components, and nothing in these terms limits your rights under them.

8. Ending

Your licence ends when its period ends, or if you break these terms. When it ends you must stop using the software. Sections 3 to 6 and 9 carry on after it ends.

9. Changes, law and contact

ParametrIQ may change these terms for new versions of the software; a program asks you to accept changed terms before you go on using it. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have jurisdiction, except where the law of the country you live in as a consumer says otherwise.
