A couple of things to know

Terms of Service

1. About FEWD Studio

FEWD Studio is a downloadable desktop software tool designed to assist with front-end web development workflows, including editing and managing local HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and related files.

These terms also apply to GenCSS, the companion CSS framework generator sold alongside FEWD Studio. Where these terms say FEWD Studio or the software, that includes GenCSS. In these terms, "we", "us" and "the developer" mean the developer of FEWD Studio.

2. Independent developer

FEWD Studio is designed, built and supported by an independent developer, not a large software company. It is developed with vigilance for safety and security, and every reasonable effort is made to keep it free of defects and security issues. No software can be guaranteed to be free of faults, vulnerabilities or compromise, and FEWD Studio is no exception.

3. Licence and use

When you purchase FEWD Studio, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the software in accordance with the terms presented at the point of purchase.

Licences may allow use on a limited number of devices depending on the product tier. You may not resell, redistribute, or share access to the software without permission.

4. Use at your own risk

By buying, downloading, installing or using FEWD Studio, you confirm that you are choosing to use it at your own risk. You are responsible for deciding whether it is suitable for your purposes, and for how and where you run it.

5. Your responsibilities

FEWD Studio works with your local project files. You are responsible for:

• keeping regular backups of your work and taking one before installing each new version;
• reviewing and testing all files and code the software creates or changes before you publish or use them in production;
• the security of the machines, accounts and networks you run it on, including keeping your operating system, antivirus and firewall up to date; and
• guarding against any third-party package or dependency that your projects download or run (for example from npm), using safeguards such as lock files, audit tools and restricting install scripts.

6. Third-party software and services

FEWD Studio may work with, or your projects may depend on, software, packages, registries, hosting or services provided by other people. The developer does not control, audit or vouch for them and is not responsible for them.

7. Updates and versions

Licences may include updates within a specific version (e.g. V1). Future versions may require a separate purchase or optional update plan.

The software will not be remotely disabled for users who have purchased a valid version.

Buying a licence, including a Lifetime Deal, is not a promise of any particular future feature, of development continuing, or of support being available indefinitely. "Lifetime" means the lifetime of the product, not of the buyer. The developer may pause development, change prices for new purchases, or discontinue the product, and is not obliged to provide more than the versions already released. Updates may change how the software behaves, and compatibility with older versions, other software or future operating systems is not guaranteed.

8. Acceptable use

• No unlawful use
• No licence bypassing
• No redistribution or resale

9. No guaranteed results

FEWD Studio is a tool. The developer does not guarantee any particular outcome from using it, including that it will meet your requirements, or that the websites, content or code you make with it are accessible, secure, performant or legally compliant. You are responsible for checking anything before you publish or rely on it.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• the software is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, other than those that cannot be excluded by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, compatibility with all environments, or error-free performance;
• the developer is not liable for any loss of or damage to data, loss of profits, revenue, business, contracts or goodwill, business interruption, security incident, or any indirect or consequential loss, arising from buying, installing or using the software, from anything it produces, or from any package your projects download; and
• the developer's total liability to you, for all claims together arising from or in connection with the software or these terms, whether in contract, negligence, breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited to the amount you paid for your licence in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

11. If you buy or use FEWD Studio for work

If you buy or use FEWD Studio in the course of a business, including work for clients, these further terms apply, to the fullest extent permitted by law:

• all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law, including those about satisfactory quality and fitness for purpose, are excluded;
• you are responsible for the work you deliver, and you agree to indemnify the developer against claims by your clients or any other third party arising from your use of the software or anything you make with it;
• you must notify the developer in writing of any claim within 12 months of the event that gave rise to it, or the claim is waived; and
• these terms are the whole agreement, and you have not relied on any statement, promise or description not set out in them. This does not limit liability for fraud.

12. Events outside our control

The developer is not responsible for any delay or failure caused by events outside its reasonable control, including the failure of third-party services, hosting, payment or licensing providers, package registries, internet connections, operating system changes, or cyber attacks on systems the developer does not operate.

13. Your statutory rights

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

If you are a consumer, buying for personal use rather than for a business, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and the terms for business use above do not apply to you.

14. Disputes, governing law and courts

These terms, your purchase and your use of FEWD Studio, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, including non-contractual disputes or claims and claims about anything said or represented before you bought, are governed by the law of England and Wales.

By buying FEWD Studio, you agree that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim, wherever you live. If you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts, and if you are a consumer living anywhere else, this does not remove any protection the law where you live gives you that cannot be excluded by agreement.

15. How you agree to these terms

Before you continue to checkout you give your name and the email address you will buy with, and tick a box to confirm you have read and agree to these terms. Your agreement is recorded with the date, time, IP address and browser, and passed to the checkout with your order. If you do not agree to these terms, do not buy or use FEWD Studio.

16. Support

Support is provided via email and documentation. No custom development or consulting is included.

17. General

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, it is limited to the least extent necessary and the rest remains in effect. If the developer does not enforce a term straight away, it can still enforce it later.

These terms may be updated; the date at the top shows when they last changed, and the version you agreed to at checkout applies to your purchase.
