End User License Agreement

PatchWalker is proprietary freeware. Copyright © 2026 Jermaine Walkes. All rights reserved.

IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY. This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (an individual or a single organisation, “you”) and Jermaine Walkes (“the Author”) for the PatchWalker software, including the compiled application, installer, and any accompanying documentation (collectively, the “Software”).

By installing, copying, or otherwise using the Software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. Licence grant

The Software is provided free of charge. Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, the Author grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to install and use the Software, in its unmodified form, for your own internal purposes (personal or business). No fee is required to use the Software.

2. Restrictions

Except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this Agreement, you must NOT:

  1. copy the Software except as necessary to install and run it, or to make a single back-up copy for archival purposes;
  2. sell, resell, rent, lease, lend, distribute, sublicense, publish, or otherwise make the Software available to any third party, whether for a fee or free of charge;
  3. modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
  4. reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or otherwise attempt to derive its source code, except to the limited extent that this restriction cannot be excluded under applicable law (for example, the right to decompile for interoperability under the laws of the United Kingdom or European Union);
  5. remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in or on the Software; or
  6. use the “PatchWalker” name, logo, or branding except to identify the unmodified Software.

3. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. The Author retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. This Agreement does not grant you any rights other than those expressly set out above; all rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Author.

4. Third-party components

The Software may include third-party components that are provided under their own licence terms. Those terms govern your use of the relevant components and, to the extent of any conflict, take precedence over this Agreement for those components only.

5. Donations

Use of the Software is free. You may choose to make a voluntary donation to support the Software’s development. Donations are entirely optional, are not a purchase or payment for the Software, are non-refundable, and confer no additional rights, warranties, support obligations, or guarantees of any kind.

6. No warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. YOU USE THE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AUTHOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits the Author’s liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

8. Term and termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. On termination, you must stop using the Software and remove all copies. Sections 3, 6, 7, and 9 survive termination.

9. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with it, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections available to you in your country of residence.

10. Entire agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Author regarding the Software and supersedes any prior understanding. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
