WAVETROVE USER AGREEMENT
========================

Effective date: 2026-08-22

This WaveTrove User Agreement ("Agreement") is between you and Digital Zone
Expert LLC ("Digital Zone Expert," "we," or "us") for the WaveTrove software
("WaveTrove" or the "Software"). By accepting this Agreement during
installation, installing, accessing, or using WaveTrove, you agree to it. If
you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

WaveTrove use is permitted worldwide where lawful. This permission is not a
promise that Digital Zone Expert LLC actively markets, supports, maintains,
renews, refunds, or provides a service in every jurisdiction. You are
responsible for using the Software lawfully in your location. Mandatory law
controls whenever it applies and cannot be waived by this Agreement.

1. LIMITED LICENSE

Subject to this Agreement and any applicable order, subscription, or license
record, Digital Zone Expert LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive,
non-transferable license to install and use WaveTrove on supported systems
for your personal or authorized organizational use. The applicable license
record controls the edition, term, machine binding, device limit, and enabled
features. No ownership of WaveTrove or Digital Zone Expert intellectual
property is transferred to you.

Commercial use, paid editions, subscriptions, and organization-wide use
require the commercial license, order, or subscription terms applicable to
your purchase or account. No commercial, resale, hosted-service, or
redistribution right is implied by installing a free or evaluation edition.
If a commercial license conflicts with this general Agreement, the written
commercial license controls for that conflict.

2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You may use WaveTrove only with data, media, accounts, services, and devices
you are authorized to access. You are responsible for your files, backups,
credentials, provider accounts, network connections, imports, conversions,
exports, and the results of actions you authorize.

You must not use WaveTrove to violate copyright, privacy, contract, export,
sanctions, or other applicable law; bypass license checks or access controls;
remove notices; interfere with a service, account, device, or network; or
provide hosted, sublicensed, rented, or redistributed access unless a separate
written agreement or applicable law permits it.

3. USER CONTENT AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

You retain your rights in content and data that you provide to or manage with
WaveTrove. You grant Digital Zone Expert LLC only the rights reasonably needed
to provide a feature that you explicitly request, subject to the applicable
privacy notice and service terms.

Third-party services are controlled by their operators and their own terms.
Digital Zone Expert LLC does not promise that a third-party service will be
available, accurate, secure, compatible, or unchanged.

4. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE

WaveTrove may include or accompany third-party software. Third-party software
is not relicensed by this Agreement. Its separate license terms control where
they grant additional rights or impose additional obligations. Retain the
installed copyright, license, source, and attribution materials.

In particular, the FFmpeg and GCC/MinGW materials distributed with a release
are governed by their corresponding license and notice files. Nothing in this
Agreement limits rights granted by an applicable third-party open-source
license.

5. NO PROMISES; USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

WAVETROVE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." YOU USE WAVETROVE ENTIRELY
AT YOUR OWN RISK. DIGITAL ZONE EXPERT LLC MAKES NO PROMISES, REPRESENTATIONS,
OR GUARANTEES ABOUT AVAILABILITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY, SECURITY,
COMPATIBILITY, RESULTS, DATA PRESERVATION, FILE CONVERSION, SERVICE ACCESS,
OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DIGITAL ZONE EXPERT LLC DISCLAIMS ALL
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE
OPERATION. You must maintain independent backups and verify results before
relying on them.

6. LIABILITY LIMITATION

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DIGITAL ZONE EXPERT LLC AND ITS
LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, CONTENT, REVENUE,
PROFITS, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO WAVETROVE OR THIS AGREEMENT.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded
or limited.

7. REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION

The Free AI edition is a no-charge, one-year, machine-bound license. It does
not automatically renew and does not require a recurring payment. Because no
license fee is charged for this edition, there is no license purchase price to
refund. You may stop using it and remove the Software at any time. This
no-charge provision does not remove any mandatory consumer right or remedy.

Commercial licenses are one-time unless a written order, subscription, or
license record expressly states that the transaction is recurring. A recurring
transaction requires affirmative consent and must state its price, billing
interval, renewal behavior, cancellation method, and applicable taxes or fees.
The applicable commercial order controls refund, cancellation, prepaid-term,
partial-period, and chargeback treatment subject to mandatory law. Donations
are voluntary contributions and are not a purchase of a license, feature,
service level, or support promise.

8. TERM AND TERMINATION

Your license ends when its applicable term expires, is revoked under the
applicable license terms, or you materially breach this Agreement. On
termination, stop using the affected Software and remove copies you are not
otherwise entitled to retain. Ownership, user-content, third-party-license,
disclaimer, and liability provisions survive as allowed by law.

9. CONSUMER RIGHTS

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to remove, waive, or limit any consumer
right, remedy, warranty, cooling-off period, refund right, privacy right, or
other protection that applicable law makes non-waivable. If a mandatory
consumer-protection law gives you rights that conflict with this Agreement,
that law controls to the extent of the conflict. You may contact the relevant
consumer-protection authority or exercise any legally protected right without
breaching this Agreement.

10. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

This Agreement is governed by the law of the State of Texas and applicable
United States federal law, including federal arbitration law where applicable,
without applying a conflict-of-law rule that would require another law. This
choice does not displace mandatory consumer, privacy, employment, export,
intellectual-property, or other law that applies to a particular person,
transaction, claim, or location.

"Jurisdiction" means a legally authorized court or arbitration forum with
proper subject-matter and personal jurisdiction. The intended Texas court
venue is the state courts located in Dallas County or Collin County, Texas,
and the applicable United States District Court serving those counties. A
court proceeding permitted by this Agreement should use that DFW-area venue
to the maximum extent legally permitted.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

Before starting a formal proceeding, the party raising a dispute must send
written notice describing the issue and requested resolution through the
contact channel below. The parties will make a good-faith effort to resolve
the dispute informally for 30 days.

Except for the exceptions below, any dispute arising out of or relating to
WaveTrove or this Agreement will be resolved by individual, binding arbitration
seated in the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area of Texas, USA, under the
American Arbitration Association's Consumer Arbitration Rules and the current
AAA consumer fee schedule in effect when the case is filed, unless the parties
mutually agree to another administrator. The consumer cost allocation and
process protections in those rules apply. Digital Zone Expert LLC will not require a consumer to
pay a fee or cost that the applicable AAA consumer rules, fee schedule, or
mandatory law does not permit.
The arbitrator, not a court, will decide the arbitrability of a dispute where
the law permits that delegation. The arbitration will be conducted remotely or
at a reasonably accessible location, as the parties agree or the administrator
directs.

If you are an individual consumer using WaveTrove primarily for personal,
family, or household purposes, you may opt out of the arbitration provision
and the related class, collective, coordinated, and representative-action
waiver in this Section. To opt out, you must send a written notice through the
contact channel in Section 13 that is received within 30 calendar days after
the earlier of (a) your first acceptance of this Agreement or (b) your first
purchase of a WaveTrove license or subscription. Your notice must state that
you are opting out of Section 11 and include your name, the email address used
for your WaveTrove account or license, and your license or order number if one
exists. No fee, penalty, loss of license right, or other adverse consequence
will result from a timely opt-out. An opt-out affects only this arbitration
provision and related waiver; all other provisions remain in effect. Digital Zone Expert LLC may
retain a record of the notice and its receipt date for contract administration.
If applicable law requires a different opt-out period, method, or consequence,
that law controls.

You and Digital Zone Expert LLC waive the right to participate in a class,
collective, coordinated, or representative action to the maximum extent the
law permits. This waiver does not prevent an individual claim, a small-claims
case where eligible, a report to a government agency, or any remedy that
applicable consumer law makes non-waivable. Either party may seek temporary or
permanent injunctive relief in a court with proper Texas jurisdiction to
protect intellectual property, confidential information, access controls, or
security while arbitration proceeds.

Arbitration fees and costs will be allocated under the applicable consumer
arbitration rules and mandatory law. If this arbitration provision is found
unenforceable for a particular claim or person, that claim may proceed in the
court and venue required by applicable law; the remaining provisions continue.

12. GENERAL TERMS

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent
necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. An applicable written
commercial order, license record, or mandatory third-party license controls
over this Agreement to the extent of a direct conflict. Future releases may
include a revised agreement.

This Agreement may be updated for a future WaveTrove release.

The operational controls for acceptance, arbitration, refunds, commercial
licensing, privacy, product claims, open-source compliance, entity
disclosures, and version changes are maintained in the corresponding
documents under docs/legal/. Those documents guide Digital Zone Expert LLC operations and do not
remove any right or obligation that mandatory law preserves.
