1. THE APPLICATION

Canova ("Licensed Application") is a piece of software created to help photographers, designers and visual communication professionals predict how people look at an image the first time they see it, by estimating visual attention with neural network models trained on real eye-tracking data. It is designed for Mac computers with Apple silicon ("Devices") and is used to analyze photos and graphics on macOS and generate attention maps, readability and contrast analyses, color-blindness simulations and downloadable reports, including through plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom and live tethered shooting with Capture One.

2. SCOPE OF LICENSE

2.1 This license will also govern any updates of the Licensed Application provided by Licensor that replace, repair, and/or supplement the first Licensed Application, unless a separate license is provided for such update, in which case the terms of that new license will govern.

2.2 You may not share or make the Licensed Application available to third parties (except with Marco Ferrari's prior written consent), sell, rent, lend, lease or otherwise redistribute the Licensed Application.

2.3 You may not reverse engineer, translate, disassemble, integrate, decompile, remove, modify, combine, create derivative works or updates of, adapt, or attempt to derive the source code of the Licensed Application, or any part thereof (except with Marco Ferrari's prior written consent).

2.4 You may not extract, copy, reuse or redistribute the neural network models, model weights, data or any other component included in the Licensed Application, nor use the Licensed Application or its output to train, develop or improve any competing product, service or model.

2.6 Licensor may update the terms of this License Agreement. Updated terms are published on the CANOVA website and apply to updates and renewals made after their publication.

5. LIABILITY

5.1 Licensor's responsibility in the case of violation of obligations and tort shall be limited to intent and gross negligence.

5.3 The Licensed Application provides statistical predictions of visual attention generated by machine learning models. Attention maps, readability and contrast analyses, color-blindness simulations and reports are estimates intended as decision support only; they do not guarantee how any specific person or audience will view an image, nor any commercial, communication or creative result. The user remains solely responsible for decisions taken on the basis of the Licensed Application's output. Color-blindness simulations are illustrative and are not a medical or diagnostic tool.

5.4 Licensor is not liable for loss of profits, revenue, business or opportunities, for the performance or results of advertising campaigns, publications or other communication activities, or for any business decision taken on the basis of the Licensed Application's output.

5.5 To the extent permitted by applicable law, Licensor's total liability under this License Agreement is limited to the amount You paid for the license. Nothing in this License Agreement limits liability for intent or gross negligence, or the rights that consumers have under mandatory law.

6. WARRANTY

6.2 No warranty is provided for the Licensed Application that is not executable on the device, that has been unauthorizedly modified, handled inappropriately or culpably, combined or installed with inappropriate hardware or software, used with inappropriate accessories, regardless if by Yourself or by third parties, or if there are any other reasons outside of Marco Ferrari's sphere of influence that affect the executability of the Licensed Application.

10.3 License scope and activation. Each license key may be activated on the number of Mac computers indicated for the purchased edition on the Licensor's website at the time of purchase. Licenses are personal and may not be shared, resold or transferred. The Licensed Application periodically verifies the license online through the Licensor's payment and licensing provider, Lemon Squeezy, which acts as Merchant of Record for all purchases; an internet connection is therefore required from time to time. If the license cannot be verified, or a subscription has expired or been cancelled, the Licensed Application will notify the user and stop working after five (5) days. Subscription editions remain active only while the subscription is paid. Perpetual (Lifetime) licenses grant the right to use the version purchased without time limit. The features, the number of activations and the updates included in each edition, including the period during which updates are provided for perpetual licenses, are those described on the Licensor's website at the time of purchase. Any free trial is offered and managed through Lemon Squeezy under its own terms.
