This End-User Licence Agreement (“Agreement”) is a binding contract between Adamantware OÜ, a company registered in Estonia, European Union (“Adamantware”, “we”, the “Licensor”), and you (the “Licensee”, “you”), governing your use of M.I.K.E. — the Mathematically Improved Kompression Engine and its command-line and graphical applications, together with any updates, documentation and associated materials (the “Software”).
By downloading, installing, copying or using the Software, you accept this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Adamantware grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Software as follows:
The Software is licensed, not sold. You acquire no ownership of the Software by paying the fee.
The Software, its source code, its underlying algorithms and methods (including the puzzleCompressor generator, delta and linear-prediction models and branch-splitting techniques), the .mike archive format, and all related intellectual property are and remain the exclusive property of Adamantware OÜ, protected by copyright and trade-secret law and international treaties.
M.I.K.E.™, puzzleCompressor™, Adamantware™ and No Hat Hacker™ are trademarks of Adamantware OÜ. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Adamantware.
You may not, and may not permit any third party to:
On each run the Software contacts Adamantware’s licence server to register the installation, record that it was opened, and report its licence status. Only an opaque installation identifier, the operating-system family, and the Software version are transmitted. The contents of your files are never read, transmitted, or seen by Adamantware — compression and decompression happen entirely on your machine. If the server is unreachable, the Software continues to run. See our Privacy Policy.
A licence is offered at €20 (or the then-current price shown at purchase), payable through our authorised payment provider. Prices are stated exclusive of any applicable taxes, which may be added at checkout. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable.
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. On termination you must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies. Sections 3, 4, 8, 9 and 10 survive termination.
The Software is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. While the Software is designed and tested for lossless, byte-exact round-trips, you are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of any important data. Adamantware does not warrant that the Software will be error-free or uninterrupted.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Adamantware shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or business, arising out of or related to the Software. Adamantware’s total aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the amount you paid for the licence in the twelve months preceding the claim. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including under mandatory EU consumer-protection rules.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia and applicable European Union law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Estonia shall have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from this Agreement, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have in your country of residence.
