WIRESOCK FOUNDATION
This Per-Seat Commercial License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legally binding agreement between you ("Licensee"), either an individual or a legal entity, and WIRESOCK FOUNDATION ("Licensor"), governing your use of the WireSock Secure Connect PRO software, including any associated documentation and materials (the "Software").
By installing, copying, or otherwise using the Software, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software in accordance with the license type purchased.
This Agreement applies to version 3.x and later of the Software distributed with or referencing this Agreement. Earlier versions of the Software are governed by their own license agreements.
A Perpetual License grants Licensee an indefinite right to use the Software. The Software will continue to function without time limitation. The Perpetual License includes an initial one (1) year Support & Updates subscription (see Section 5).
A Subscription License grants Licensee the right to use the Software until the end of the subscription period ("Subscription End Date"). Upon expiration of the subscription period, the Software will cease to function unless the subscription is renewed.
The Software is licensed on a per-seat basis. Each seat permits installation and use of one (1) copy of the Software on a single device owned or controlled by Licensee, for personal or commercial purposes.
"Use" means any instance of the Software that is installed and capable of establishing a VPN tunnel on a device, regardless of whether the tunnel is actively connected.
Use of the Software on multiple devices or by multiple users requires the purchase of additional seats.
Additional seats may be purchased at any time. The S&U subscription fee for new seats is prorated to align with the existing subscription period.
Licensee may reinstall the Software on the same device at any time (e.g. after an operating system reinstall or hardware repair).
Licensee may transfer an existing seat to a replacement device (e.g. when replacing a laptop or workstation), provided the Software is removed from the original device. A single seat may not be used on more than one device at the same time.
Use of the Software in virtual machines is permitted, and each virtual machine instance counts as a separate device for the purposes of seat calculation.
Each Perpetual License purchase includes a one (1) year Support & Updates (S&U) subscription. While the S&U subscription is active, Licensee is entitled to:
Support is provided via email during standard business hours. Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to support requests within two (2) business days while the S&U subscription is active. Specific service level commitments, where applicable, are described in a separate Service Level Agreement (SLA) available upon request.
After the S&U subscription expires:
The S&U subscription may be renewed at any time to regain access to the latest updates and support. Renewal terms are governed by Licensor's standard policies.
The Software is activated using a digitally signed license file (JSON format). License verification is performed entirely offline using a cryptographic signature embedded in the application. No internet connection is required for license validation.
The professional version of the Software (PRO) does not include telemetry, crash reporting, or any form of diagnostic data collection. The Software does not transmit any data to Licensor or third-party services during normal operation.
The license file stored on Licensee's device contains the owner email address provided at the time of purchase. This information is verified locally and is never transmitted by the Software.
Licensor's general privacy practices are described in the Privacy Policy available at https://wiresock.net/about/privacy-policy.
For enterprise customers requiring a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) in connection with the purchase or use of the Software, Licensor will provide a DPA upon written request to support@wiresock.net.
