End User Licence Agreement
Effective date: 2026-05-28 · Last updated: 2026-05-28
This End User Licence Agreement (the "Agreement") is a binding contract between you ("you" or "Licensee") and Sei Dake, a trade name of Bernardo Ortega, sole trader, NIF 50462476Q, with postal address at Calle Bergantín 9, 3D, 28220 Majadahonda, Madrid, Spain ("we", "us", "Licensor"), governing your use of the Shelf Republic desktop application ("the Software").
By installing, activating, or using the Software, you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the Software; you may request a refund under the Shelf Republic Refund Policy.
1. Licence grant
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, perpetual licence to install and use the Software, subject to the terms of this Agreement and provided the Software has been activated with a valid licence key purchased through Paddle.
1.1 Devices
A single licence key entitles you to activate the Software on up to two (2) devices under your sole control at the same time. You may move the licence between devices you own at any time by deactivating it on a device before activating it on a new one.
1.2 Personal and commercial use
The licence allows both personal and commercial use of the Software (for example, organizing the comic library of a bookshop, café, library, or studio), as long as the use stays within the device cap of section 1.1 and complies with the restrictions in section 2.
1.3 Updates
This licence includes free updates for the entire v1 release line of the Software. Major future versions (v2, v3) may be offered as a separate paid upgrade. You are not required to install updates, but unsupported versions may stop receiving security or compatibility fixes.
2. Restrictions
You may not, and may not permit any third party to:
- Sell, rent, sublicense, lend, share, or otherwise redistribute the Software or your licence key.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except to the extent that such acts cannot be excluded by mandatory law.
- Circumvent, disable, or tamper with the licence verification, the cryptographic signature of the licence key, the software signature, or any security mechanism of the Software.
- Use the Software in any way that infringes our intellectual property rights or those of any third party.
- Use the Software to host, distribute, or facilitate access to content you do not have the right to use.
The licence key is personal to you and is bound to the email address used at purchase. Sharing your licence key with third parties, posting it publicly, or distributing modified or "cracked" copies of the Software is a material breach of this Agreement and terminates the licence automatically.
3. Your content
The Software reads, displays, and lets you organize comic files (CBR, CBZ, PDF and similar) and folder structures that already exist on your local file system. You retain all rights to your content. We do not claim any ownership, licence, or right to your files. The Software does not upload, copy, or transmit your content to us or to any third party.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that the content you use with the Software is content you are entitled to possess and use under applicable copyright and other laws.
4. Ownership
The Software, its design, its source code, its branding, and all related intellectual property are and remain the exclusive property of the Licensor. No rights in the Software are transferred to you other than the limited licence expressly granted in section 1.
The Software includes third-party open source components. The licences of those components are reproduced inside the Software ("About → Open source licences"). Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under those licences with respect to the relevant components.
5. Distribution and purchase
The Software is sold through Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle"), which acts as the Merchant of Record for the transaction. Paddle's own terms apply to the purchase itself. Refunds are processed by Paddle under the Shelf Republic Refund Policy.
The Software is distributed as signed installers downloaded from shelfrepublic.com or from update channels under our control. Any installer obtained from any other source may have been tampered with and is not covered by this licence.
6. Termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated.
You may terminate it at any time by uninstalling and ceasing to use the Software.
We may terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice if you materially breach any of its terms, including in particular section 2 (Restrictions). On termination:
- Your licence key is revoked.
- You must stop using the Software and uninstall it from all your devices.
- Sections that by their nature should survive termination (Restrictions, Ownership, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Governing Law) survive.
Termination for breach does not entitle you to a refund unless the Refund Policy provides otherwise.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, free of harmful components, or that it will meet your specific requirements.
Nothing in this section excludes or limits any statutory rights you may have as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the Licensor be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Software.
In any event, the Licensor's aggregate liability arising under or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the amount you paid for the Software in the twelve (12) months preceding the event that gave rise to the claim.
Nothing in this section limits liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
9. Privacy
The processing of your personal data is governed by the Shelf Republic Privacy Policy, available at shelfrepublic.com/privacy.
10. Refunds
Refunds are governed by the Shelf Republic Refund Policy, available at shelfrepublic.com/refund. The Refund Policy does not affect any statutory right of withdrawal that may apply to you as a consumer under EU law.
11. Changes to this Agreement
We may update this Agreement to reflect changes in the Software, in our practices, or in applicable law. Material changes will be notified on shelfrepublic.com, by email, or both, before taking effect. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
If you do not accept a material change, you may stop using the Software and request a refund pro rata where applicable; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
This Agreement is governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Madrid, Spain, except where mandatory consumer protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your country of residence within the European Union or the United Kingdom.
13. Miscellaneous
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and the Refund Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Software and supersedes any prior agreements.
