Terms of Service & End-User Licence Agreement
Watch Register v1.x · Last updated 24 July 2026
1. What you are licensed
Licensed, not sold. Watch Register is proprietary, closed-source commercial software. Subject to payment of the applicable licence fee and these Terms, Aveneg Technologies, LLC ("the Company") grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the compiled Application per paid seat, on machines you own or control, for your own use.
What is licensed. This licence covers the distributed build — the compiled, signed, packaged Application and the updates released for the generation of the product you purchased. It does not grant any right to the source code, which is not published and remains the Company's exclusive property. See §4 for what this does and does not permit.
Prior versions. Versions v1.0.0 through v1.29.0 were previously distributed under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0. That grant is not revoked for copies already lawfully obtained under it. Effective with v1.30.0, all new versions are proprietary and licensed only under these Terms; the PolyForm licence does not apply to v1.30.0 or any later version.
Duration. The licence is perpetual for the product generation you purchased, and includes updates released within that generation. It is not tied to version numbers: minor and patch releases are frequent and never affect your access. A future generation representing a substantially redesigned product may be offered separately.
Termination. The licence terminates if you materially breach these Terms and do not remedy the breach within 32 days of written notice. Termination does not affect data you have already created — your vault files and register remain yours and remain readable by any build you already hold.
2. Local-first architecture, and what that means for you
The Application cannot transmit your data. This is not a promise of
restraint; it is an architectural constraint. The Content Security Policy sets
connect-src 'none', which disables fetch, XMLHttpRequest, WebSocket,
EventSource and sendBeacon at the engine level. The application grants no
network capability and contains no HTTP client. There are no servers, no
accounts, no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting and no update checks.
No personal data is collected. The developer receives nothing about you, your collection, your usage or your device — not in aggregate, not anonymised, not at all. There is no data controller, no processor, and no data to subject to an access or deletion request, because none is ever transmitted or held.
Where your data lives. Your register is stored as a single encrypted blob
in two places on your own machine: the application's local database and a file
at register.vault inside the application's data directory. Photographs and
attached documents are inside that blob. Encryption is AES-256-GCM via the
platform's WebCrypto implementation; a random master key encrypts your data
and is itself wrapped by keys derived from your secrets using PBKDF2-SHA256 at
250,000 iterations.
Two ways in, both yours alone. Your register can be opened by your passphrase or by the recovery key shown once during setup. Neither can be derived from the other. The developer holds neither, can reconstruct neither, and has no mechanism to recover either.
Your responsibilities. You are solely responsible for choosing and
safeguarding your passphrase, for storing your recovery key somewhere safe and
separate, for the security of your device, and for maintaining your own
backups — including any encrypted .vault.json files you export.
Unrecoverable loss. If you lose both your passphrase and your recovery key, your register cannot be opened by anyone, including the Company. This is a deliberate property of the design, disclosed to you before setup completes and repeatedly in the Application. Likewise, hardware failure or deletion without a backup is unrecoverable. The developer accepts no liability of any kind for data that becomes unrecoverable for these or any other reasons.
3. Valuations, insurance and financial figures
Every figure originates with you. The Application does not appraise, does not fetch market prices, and does not connect to any pricing service — it cannot, per Section 2. Market values, purchase prices, insured values and any figure the Application displays are values you entered. Totals, gains, losses and coverage warnings are arithmetic performed on your own inputs.
Informational only. Those outputs exist for personal record-keeping and organisation. They are not an appraisal, a valuation, or financial, tax, legal or insurance advice. The developer is not a licensed appraiser, broker, adjuster, fiduciary or advisor, and no professional relationship is created by your use of the Application.
Insurance figures in particular. Coverage indicators — including whether a piece is flagged as underinsured, and any payout ceiling calculated from a policy type you selected — are estimates derived from what you entered. They do not reflect your actual policy, your insurer's terms, or how a claim would be settled. Printed schedules and registers are working documents you produce, not certified appraisals.
Verify before relying on any of it. Confirm valuations with a qualified appraiser and coverage with your insurer or broker. The developer assumes no liability for denied or disputed claims, underinsurance, valuation discrepancies, tax positions, or any financial outcome connected to figures displayed by the Application.
4. Verifying our claims, and permitted use
You do not have to take our word for it. The architectural claims in §2 — that the Application cannot transmit your data, that your register is encrypted at rest, that no recovery path exists — are all things you can verify yourself, at runtime, without reading any source code. The Security Overview describes exactly how: open your operating system's developer tools or a network monitor, use the Application through a full session including saving, exporting and attaching a document, and confirm nothing is ever sent anywhere. That the Application makes zero network connections, ever, is independently observable by anyone, on any machine, in a few minutes.
Reporting a vulnerability. Security issues may be reported by email at support@watchregister.app. Findings are welcome, including ones that contradict the Company's own claims.
What is restricted. The source code is not published. You may not decompile, disassemble, or reverse-engineer the Application, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent such a restriction is unenforceable under applicable law. You may not resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or redistribute the Application or a modified version of it, and you may not use it beyond the number of licensed seats you have purchased. Branding, name, logo and documentation remain the Company's property.
5. As-is delivery, liability and governing law
As-is. The Application is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. The developer does not warrant that the Application is free of defects or that it will meet your requirements.
Distribution and signing. Builds are produced by an automated public pipeline from tagged source. You are responsible for obtaining the Application from the official distribution channel; the Company is not responsible for modified, repackaged or third-party-hosted copies.
Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages, nor for lost revenue, lost or corrupted data, loss of physical assets, or legal expenses, arising from use of or inability to use the Application. Where liability cannot be excluded, total aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid for the licence in the twelve months preceding the claim.
Capacity. You must be of legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
Successors and heirs. The Application is intended in part for estate records. Anyone you grant access to — an executor, heir or advisor — is bound by these Terms when using the Application. The developer has no role in your succession arrangements, holds no keys, and cannot grant access to anyone.
Changes. These Terms may be updated for future releases. The version accompanying the build you have installed governs your use of that build.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in force.
