RAFTERBOOKS END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA)
October 30, 2026
Software: RafterBooks
Licensor: Rafterbooks LLC
Support: support@rafterbooks.com (email only)
Price: One-time purchase at the price offered at the time of sale
Governing law: Commonwealth of Virginia, United States (without regard to conflict-of-law rules)

This license is between you and Rafterbooks LLC (“RafterBooks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

IMPORTANT: By downloading, installing, or using RafterBooks, you agree to this
license. If you do not agree, do not use the software and request a refund under
section 9A.

1. LICENSE GRANT
We grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive license to install and use
RafterBooks. The license is non-transferable except as allowed in section 5.
You may use it on computers you own or control for your own business or
personal bookkeeping. One purchase includes the browser edition
(RafterBooks.html) and the Windows desktop program. On Windows, use the
browser edition in current Chrome or Edge, or the Windows desktop program. On a
Mac, use the browser edition in current Chrome (Safari support being tested).
There is no Mac desktop app.
“Perpetual” means you may keep using the version you purchased without a
subscription to the core offline app. Updates are covered in section 9. This
license does not include separate tax-rule services, payroll services, bank
feeds, or other add-ons outside the core offline app.

2. SINGLE-USER / BUSINESS USE
One purchase covers use by one business (or one individual proprietor) and the
people who help that business on its own devices. You may not rent, lease,
sublicense, publish, or sell copies of the software, or use it to provide a
hosted multi-tenant service to unrelated customers.

3. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
RafterBooks is designed to store company records on your device: in the browser
edition, in that browser's storage; in the desktop edition, in a data file you
control (and in backup files you export or that the desktop edition creates
automatically). RafterBooks does not operate an account server for your books
and does not receive your invoices, customers, or financial entries through
normal use of the offline app. You are responsible for keeping backups safe.
Clearing browser storage, switching browsers or devices, deleting the data
file, or losing a backup can permanently lose data.
Do not store Social Security numbers, bank passwords, or payment-card numbers
in the Software.

4. NO COPY PROTECTION REQUIRED FOR DOWNLOAD DELIVERY
This license does not require an online activation key for the core offline app
(browser HTML and/or desktop program included with your purchase).
Possession of a legitimate purchase from the authorized storefront
(for example Lemon Squeezy) evidences your license. Do not redistribute the
download package to people who have not purchased it.

5. TRANSFER
You may permanently transfer this license to another person or business once if
you transfer the software and all backups, cease your own use, and the recipient
agrees to this EULA. You may not keep a working copy after transfer.

6. OWNERSHIP
The software (including its design, code, and branding) remains the property of
Rafterbooks LLC. This EULA does not sell the copyright; it only licenses use.
“RafterBooks” branding and related marks are used to identify this product.

7. AS-IS — NO WARRANTY
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. RafterBooks is a bookkeeping helper for
construction workflows. It is NOT certified tax software, NOT a payroll system,
NOT a bank, and NOT a substitute for a CPA, bookkeeper, or attorney. You are
solely responsible for verifying totals, taxes, filings, and legal compliance.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RAFTERBOOKS LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES,
OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE
SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM
ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE OR THIS EULA WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR
YOUR LICENSE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those
cases liability is limited to the fullest extent allowed.

9. SUPPORT AND UPDATES
Support contact (email only): support@rafterbooks.com
We aim to reply to support email within two (2) business days (Monday–Friday,
US Eastern Time).

All future updates are free, forever.

Updates. Your one-time purchase includes all future versions and updates of
RafterBooks that we publish, including new major versions, at no additional
charge. We will never charge you to upgrade. We are not obligated to release
updates, and we do not promise when updates will be released or what they
will include. If we stop developing RafterBooks, the copy you downloaded will
keep working under this license.

Separate products. We may also offer optional add-on products or services that are sold separately. Add-ons are not ‘updates’ under this section and are not required to use RafterBooks. We will not remove features included in RafterBooks or move them into a paid add-on.

9A. REFUNDS
Ask within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked — email
support@rafterbooks.com. Lemon Squeezy’s checkout terms may also apply.

10. TERMINATION
This license continues until terminated. It terminates automatically if you
materially breach it (for example by redistributing paid copies). On termination
you must stop using the software. Sections 3, 6, 7, 8, and 11 survive.

11. GENERAL
This is the entire agreement for the software license between you and
Rafterbooks LLC regarding the software. If a court finds a part unenforceable,
the rest remains in effect. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver.
Export and sanctions laws may apply to distribution. Governing law is the
Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
