These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your download, installation and use of the Dext Desktop application for Windows ("the App") and the website at dext-desktop.com ("the Site"), operated by Dext Desktop ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

1. Acceptance

You confirm that you are at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding agreement. If you use the App on behalf of a business, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms for that business.

2. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices that you own or control, for your own business or personal bookkeeping. A licence covers one person across their own devices. You may not sublicense, rent, resell, or make the App available to third parties.

You may not copy, modify, decompile, reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

3. Free trial

The App is offered with a 14-day free trial of its full functionality, with no payment details required to begin. At the end of the trial you may activate a licence to continue using paid features. If you do not activate a licence, paid features are paused, but your local document library and settings remain on your device and are not deleted.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the App to:

break any applicable law or regulation, or infringe the rights of others;
upload or process content you do not have the right to process;
interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the App or any connected service;
introduce malware or attempt to circumvent licensing or security measures.

5. Your data and documents

The App reads and stores your documents locally on your own device. You retain all rights to your documents and data. You are responsible for keeping backups and for the accuracy of the information you publish to your accounting software. Where you choose to connect the App to third-party accounting software, you authorise the App to exchange the relevant data on your instruction. How we handle any personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-party software

The App can connect to third-party services such as accounting platforms. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for third-party services, their availability or their content.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The App and the Site are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data capture will be free of inaccuracies. You remain responsible for reviewing and approving data before it is used in your accounts.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the App or the Site. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

9. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
