Autonoma End User License Agreement
Effective Date: August 2026
Last Updated: August 2026
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY
This End User License Agreement (“EULA” or “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“Licensee,” “User,” “you,” or “your”) and Autonoma (“Licensor,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the use of Autonoma software, including all associated files, libraries, documentation, updates, and online services (collectively, the “Software”).
BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS.
1. GRANT OF LICENSE
1.1 License Grant
Subject to the terms of this Agreement and payment of applicable fees, the Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:
a) Install and use the Software on devices you own or control;
b) Use the Software for your personal or internal business purposes;
c) Use the online services that exist to support the Software — licence
validation and your account — for the term of your subscription.
1.2 Plans
There is no free tier. The Software requires a licence key to run.
Plans differ by what the Software is permitted to do, not by how much of it you may do. There is no cap on the number of products, listings, marketplace connections or generations, because that work happens on your machine at your expense rather than on our servers at ours.
| Plan | What it licenses |
|---|---|
| Personal | Everything you drive yourself |
| Studio | Everything in Personal, plus the Software acting unattended |
| Unlimited | Everything, no expiry — not for sale |
Unlimited is the plan carried by complimentary licences issued at our discretion. It is named here so that this Agreement covers it, not so that it can be bought.
The Subscription Terms set out what each plan includes and what it costs.
1.3 License Key
Your license is activated by a unique, cryptographically signed license key that:
- Is for your use only
- Must not be shared, published, or transferred
- Is validated periodically via internet connection
2. LICENSE RESTRICTIONS
You may NOT:
2.1 Copying and Distribution
a) Copy the Software except for reasonable backup purposes;
b) Distribute, publish, or share the Software with any third party;
c) Make the Software available on any network so that people other than you can use it under your licence;
d) Share, sell, rent, lease, lend, or sublicense the Software or license keys.
2.2 Modification and Reverse Engineering
a) Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
b) Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code;
c) Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks;
d) Bypass, disable, or circumvent any license protection mechanisms.
2.3 Commercial Exploitation
a) Use the Software to provide services to third parties (service bureau use) without our prior written agreement;
b) Resell, redistribute, or commercialize the Software;
c) Present the Software as your own, or remove or replace its branding, without our prior written agreement;
d) Create competing products using knowledge gained from the Software.
2.4 Prohibited Uses
a) Use the Software for any unlawful purpose;
b) Use the Software to violate third-party rights;
c) Use the Software to generate illegal, harmful, or abusive content;
d) Use the Software to commit fraud or engage in deceptive practices.
3. ACTIVATION AND VALIDATION
3.1 How Activation Works
Your licence key is a signed token. The Software verifies that signature and checks the key against our licence server. It does not read, derive or transmit a hardware fingerprint of your computer, and your licence is not bound to one.
3.2 Installations
There is no per-plan activation count, and none is enforced. Section 1.1 governs instead: install the Software on devices you own or control, for your own use. The restriction that matters is section 2.1(d) — do not share, publish or transfer the key itself.
3.3 Validation
The Software may periodically connect to our servers to:
- Validate your license key
- Download updates (if enabled)
The licence check sends your licence key and nothing else. It asks one question — has this key been revoked — and receives one answer.
This clause used to say the Software also reports “anonymized usage statistics”. It does not, and no code has ever been written to. It was removed rather than softened, because a privacy term that overstates what is collected is not a safe default: it is the sentence a reader relies on, and it described a product that watches you when the real one does not.
3.4 Offline Use
Limited offline use is permitted. The Software must connect to our servers at least once every 30 days to maintain license validity.
4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
4.1 Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. The Licensor retains all right, title, and interest in:
- The Software and all copies
- All intellectual property rights
- Trademarks, logos, and branding
- Documentation and materials
4.2 No Transfer
This Agreement does not transfer any intellectual property rights to you.
4.3 Feedback
If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use such feedback without obligation.
5. USER CONTENT AND DATA
5.1 Your Content
You retain ownership of content you create using the Software, including:
- Product listings
- AI prompts and inputs
- Generated content (subject to Section 5.3)
- Configuration settings
5.2 We Do Not Hold Your Data
You grant us no licence over your content, because we never receive it. The Software runs on your computer; your listings, prompts, generated content, credentials and configuration stay there.
What our servers hold is your account:
- your email address, and the name you chose to give, if any;
- a hash of your password — never the password itself;
- your rank, and whether your address has been confirmed;
- your two-factor secret, if you turned two-factor on;
- your licence records, and the orders behind them;
- your sign-in sessions, each with the IP address and browser it was created from, and a record of failed sign-in attempts, both of which exist to make an account takeover visible and to rate-limit guessing;
- an audit log of administrative actions on your account.
This list said “your email address, your rank, your licence records, and the orders behind them. That is the whole list”, which understated it: the schema also holds the password hash, the two-factor secret, session IP addresses and the sign-in attempt log. Every one of those exists for a reason given above, and none of them is a surprise — but “that is the whole list” was a sentence a reader would rely on, so it now is one.
This clause used to grant us a licence to “Store your data on our systems” and to “Use anonymized, aggregated data for improvement”. Neither happens, and the Privacy Policy and the marketing site both say so — an agreement that claims broader rights than the product exercises is one a customer has to assume will be used. Granting rights nobody needs is not caution either.
5.3 AI-Generated Content
Content generated by AI features:
- May be subject to third-party AI provider terms
- Is provided without warranty of accuracy or originality
- Is your responsibility to review and verify
- May have usage restrictions per AI provider terms
6. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS
6.1 Third-Party Software
The Software may include third-party components subject to separate license terms. These terms are available in the Software documentation.
6.2 Third-Party Services
Use of integrated services (OpenAI, Google, marketplaces, etc.) is subject to their respective terms and policies.
6.3 API Keys
You are responsible for:
- Obtaining and maintaining required API keys
- Costs associated with third-party API usage
- Compliance with third-party terms
7. UPDATES AND SUPPORT
7.1 Updates
We may provide updates, patches, or new versions at our discretion. Updates:

can be prevented by setting
AUTONOMA_DISABLE_UPDATES=1in the environment. Section 10.1 of the Support Policy sets out exactly when this happens, what is verified first, and when the software refuses to restart. This line said “may be automatic or optional”, which described neither the default nor the way to change it - May modify, add, or remove features
- Are subject to this Agreement
- Require an internet connection to be found and downloaded
7.2 Support
Support is by email, at support@autonoma-studio.com, and is the same on every plan. There is no priority queue, no telephone support, no account manager and no guaranteed response time. Autonoma is run by one person, and the Support Policy says so plainly rather than describing a support organisation that does not exist. See the Support Policy for what is covered.
