Terms and Conditions

1. Grant of License

Subject to payment of the applicable license fees (or valid trial entitlement), ClickSQL grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and execute the software strictly in accordance with your license tier:

• Evaluation / Free Trial: Granted solely to test and evaluate the suitability of ClickSQL for your personal or business requirements during the designated trial period.
• Standard Version Assigned to a single individual. If the software is installed on a terminal server or a shared network drive, a license must be obtained for each user who is allowed to use the software. If a terminal server strictly limits the number of concurrent users who can work with the software at a time, a license can be purchased for each concurrent user.
• Portable Version Assigned to a single individual.  You can use or maintain a portable build on a USB storage device. The portable drive is equivalent to one computer as described above.

2. Distribution Formats (Installer vs. Portable USB)

ClickSQL is distributed in both 64-bit and 32-bit editions as separate EXE Windows installers or as a zip file containing the standalone zero-install portable application. The terms of this license apply equally regardless of deployment format. Running the portable build from an external drive (such as a USB stick) does not grant multi-user sharing rights; only the licensed user is permitted to execute the application.

3. License Restrictions

You agree that you will not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source code of ClickSQL, except to the extent permitted by applicable mandatory law.
• Modify, adapt, translate, rent, lease, sublicense, resell, or distribute the software to any third party.
• Share, publish, or publicly distribute license activation keys, serial numbers, or authentication bypasses.
• Circumvent or alter any digital rights management or licensing mechanisms implemented in the software.

4. User Responsibility for Database Operations & Data Safety

ClickSQL provides visual and code-based authoring tools to construct, parse, and execute SQL statements against databases via Microsoft ODBC drivers.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• You are solely responsible for ensuring you have appropriate permissions, credentials, and backups before executing any SQL query against any live or production database.
• You bear sole responsibility for any data modifications, index alterations, table drops, transaction deadlocks, performance degradations, or server disruptions resulting from queries executed through ClickSQL or linked Office Data Connection (*.odc) spreadsheets.
• While ClickSQL visual builder queries are syntactically validated using Microsoft ScriptDOM, query performance, execution plans, and data integrity remain entirely under your control.

5. Purchases, Delivery, and Refunds

5.1 Order Fulfillment

Upon successful payment processing, your commercial license key and download instructions will be delivered electronically to the email address provided during checkout.

5.2 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Because we provide a full-featured free evaluation version, we strongly encourage testing ClickSQL against your database environments prior to purchase. However, if you encounter technical incompatibilities or are unsatisfied with your commercial purchase, you may request a full refund within 30 days of initial purchase. Upon refund issuance, your license key will be permanently deactivated.

6. Updates and Technical Support

A commercial license includes all updates and bug fixes for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase.  Thereafter, you may continue to use the version of the software pertaining at the end of the 12 months or purchase another 12 months of updates and bug fixes (including major versions) at the quoted cost on our 'buy' pages.  

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CLICKSQL IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY THIRD-PARTY ODBC DRIVER OR DATABASE ENGINE.

8. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL CLICKSQL, ITS DEVELOPERS, OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA CORRUPTION, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF REVENUE, OR SYSTEM DOWNTIME) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE CLICKSQL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ALL CASES, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE LICENSE.

9. Intellectual Property

ClickSQL, its visual designers, AST integration, algorithms, branding, logos, and documentation are the exclusive intellectual property of ClickSQL and its licensors. Microsoft, Windows, Excel, and Microsoft ScriptDOM are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.

10. Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or related to ClickSQL shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles.
