Software License for Picture Org Tools
These terms cover Squarewell™ Auto Crop & Straighten, Pivotwell™ Photo Rotation Check, the Spoolwell™ Video Finishing Toolbox, Sweepwell™ Empty Folder Cleaner, Datewell™ Date Taken Fixer, Labelwell™ Caption Reader, Matchwell™ Photo Deduplicator, Sortwell™ Batch Sorter, Menuwell™ Lightroom Menu Keys and any other software from The Picture Org LLC ("we"). By installing or using the software you agree to these terms.
Free tools. Sweepwell and Menuwell are free donationware: they need no trial, license key or payment, so the trial and license terms below (2 to 6) don't apply to them, and each comes with its own Donationware License. If one saves you time, you can buy me lunch. A donation is a voluntary gift: it doesn't buy the software, support, updates or any other rights.
Free trial. You may use the full software free for 21 days on each computer, then for 7 more days with reminders. After that, a license key is needed to keep processing files.
What a license gives you. One license lets one person use the product named on the key on up to 2 computers they use. A business with several people needs one license per person. A license does not expire.
Updates. Updates within the same major version (for example 1.0 to 1.9) are complimentary. A new major version may require an upgrade license purchase.
Moving to a new computer. Use "Remove license from this computer" on the old one and enter your key on the new one. If a computer is lost or broken, email us.
You may not share your key outside these limits, sell or give away the software, remove the license check, or modify the software, except as allowed for the open-source parts below.
Third-party software. The software includes components under their own licenses (FFmpeg under GPL v3, PowerShell under MIT, OpenCV and other libraries under their own terms), listed in the NOTICE file that comes with each tool. Those licenses apply to those components, and nothing here limits your rights under them.
Your files. The software runs on your computer and does not send your photos, videos or files to us, except in an error report that you choose to send. When something goes wrong, Create an error log offers to send a report to us, and nothing is sent unless you click Send to The Picture Org after seeing what it contains. In Squarewell and Pivotwell, a report can also include small pictures of the photos that went wrong, but only if you tick the boxes for them (see Terms and Privacy). Datewell, Labelwell and Sortwell have an optional online reading feature: only if you turn it on and enter your own API key, the photo being read is sent to the AI service you chose (Claude, Google Gemini or OpenAI) under that service's terms, and nothing is sent to us (see Online AI Reading). Keep backups before processing irreplaceable originals.
No warranty. The software is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost data or other damages from using it; our total liability is limited to what you paid for the license.
Purchases are processed by our reseller Paddle.com, which is the merchant of record for your order and handles payment, sales tax and receipts.
