You acknowledge that the Software, like any technology, may have bugs or experience unexpected behavior, and you assume all risks associated with its use.
7. User Data and Privacy
Anonymous Data Collection
The Software may collect anonymous data to optimize performance and understand which functionalities are most used by users. This data is collected in a way that ensures it cannot be used to identify you or any other individual. Licensor does not sell this data or use it for any purpose other than improving the Software.
8. Plugin System and Custom Code
Plugin System
The Software includes a plugin system that allows you to add custom functionality. Please be aware that this system may run custom code that has not been verified or tested by Licensor. Licensor is not responsible for any issues, damages, or reliability concerns that arise from the use of such custom code. It is your responsibility to manage and understand the risks associated with using third-party or custom plugins.
9. Updates, Downgrades, and Versioning
Manual Updates
Updates to the Software are not automatic. You will be notified when updates are available, and you may download and install them at your discretion.
Downgrades
You may choose to downgrade to an older version of the Software at any time. However, be aware that downgrading may cause the Software to function differently, especially when working with projects created in a newer version. It is your responsibility to understand and manage any potential issues that may arise from downgrading, including compatibility and performance impacts.
10. Software Launcher
The Software is designed to be used in conjunction with the ASCE Launcher (the "Launcher"), a separate application that optimizes and enhances the performance of the Software. The Launcher must be used every time you run the Software. This Agreement, including the terms and conditions outlined here, is being presented to you within the Launcher. By using the Launcher and the Software, you agree to comply with this Agreement. The Launcher, as part of the experience provided by ASCE Studio, is concerned by this Agreement and its use is submitted to it.
