WORKPLACEFINDINGS PROFESSIONAL
END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

Version 1.1
Effective date: August 7, 2026

IMPORTANT: READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY SELECTING "I ACCEPT THE END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT" AND INSTALLING OR USING WORKPLACEFINDINGS PROFESSIONAL, YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION ACQUIRING THE SOFTWARE AND THAT THE LICENSEE AGREES TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.

1. PARTIES

This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") is between Ronald Telford, P.O. Box 116, Mount Union, Iowa 52644 ("Licensor"), and the person or organization that acquires or uses WorkplaceFindings Professional ("Licensee").

2. LICENSE GRANT

Subject to payment of all applicable fees and compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license to install and use one copy of WorkplaceFindings Professional on the computer identified by the applicable license certificate. Licensee may permit its authorized personnel to use the installed copy solely for Licensee's internal workplace-investigation and related record-management activities.

The software is licensed, not sold. A perpetual license does not include a timed evaluation period, subscription expiration, indefinite support, compatibility with future operating systems, or free future major versions unless an order or written support agreement expressly states otherwise.

3. AUTHORIZED USERS AND ACCOUNTS

Licensee may create separate secured application accounts for authorized personnel on the licensed computer. Licensee is responsible for deciding who is authorized, maintaining Windows and physical security, administering accounts, protecting passwords, and promptly removing access that is no longer appropriate. Separate application accounts do not protect data from a person who has administrative control of the computer or operating system.

4. RESTRICTIONS

Except to the extent applicable law expressly permits otherwise, Licensee may not:

(a) copy the software except for reasonable backup and recovery purposes;
(b) sell, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, distribute, publish, or commercially host the software or any serial number or license certificate;
(c) permit the software or a serial number or license certificate to be used for the benefit of an unauthorized third party;
(d) bypass, disable, alter, or defeat licensing or security controls;
(e) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software; or
(f) remove or alter proprietary notices.

5. OWNERSHIP

Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the software, documentation, branding, and related intellectual property. This Agreement grants only the limited rights stated above. Licensee retains ownership of its investigation data and reports.

6. CUSTOMER DATA, PRIVACY, AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE

WorkplaceFindings Professional stores investigation information locally in storage selected or administered by Licensee. Licensor does not acquire ownership of Licensee's data merely because the software processes it. Licensee is solely responsible for the lawful collection, use, access, retention, legal hold, disclosure, export, printing, backup, and secure disposal of its data, including personal, employment, confidential, privileged, and sensitive information.

When Licensee initiates online activation, the software sends licensing information to Licensor's hosted licensing service over an encrypted connection. This information may include the product and application version, serial number, purchaser email, a derived computer request code, computer name, and request time. Licensor and its payment, hosting, and email providers may also process purchase, transaction, delivery, connection, security, and support records reasonably needed to fulfill the order, administer the license, prevent misuse, process refunds or chargebacks, and comply with law. Online activation is designed not to transmit investigation cases, evidence, reports, application usernames, account passwords, or encryption keys. An offline activation process may be available through Licensor or support.

The software is a record-management aid. It does not provide legal advice, make legal or credibility determinations, establish that an investigation is adequate, or replace professional judgment, organizational policy, collective-bargaining obligations, or advice from qualified legal counsel.

7. SECURITY, PASSWORDS, EXPORTS, AND BACKUPS

Licensee acknowledges that:

(a) forgotten application-account passwords may not be recoverable by Licensor;
(b) loss of passwords, encryption material, local files, or backups may make data permanently inaccessible;
(c) local computer administrators and compromised operating systems are outside the application's security boundary;
(d) exported reports, opened temporary copies, printed pages, scanner software, printer queues, and external files are not protected by the application's encrypted storage; and
(e) Licensee must maintain appropriate device safeguards and tested backups.

8. THIRTY-DAY LIMITED WARRANTY

For thirty (30) calendar days after the date the software is first delivered to Licensee, Licensor warrants that, when used on a supported Windows system in accordance with the documentation, the software will substantially perform as described in its documentation. Licensee must notify Licensor of a claimed breach within that thirty-day period and provide information reasonably sufficient to reproduce the problem.

Licensee's exclusive remedy, and Licensor's entire obligation, for breach of this limited warranty is, at Licensor's option: (a) correction of the material nonconformity; (b) replacement of the software; or (c) refund of the license fee paid for the affected copy upon termination of the license and cessation of use.

This limited warranty does not cover problems caused by misuse, unauthorized modification, unsupported hardware or software, third-party drivers or scanner software, malware, loss or corruption of customer-controlled data, failure to follow documentation, or systems outside Licensor's reasonable control.

9. DISCLAIMERS

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS THIRTY-DAY LIMITED WARRANTY AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RESULTS, AND ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or limitations, so some of the foregoing may not apply. Nothing in this Agreement excludes a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE LICENSE FEE ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE AFFECTED COPY OF THE SOFTWARE.

These limitations apply regardless of the form of action and do not limit liability that applicable law does not permit to be limited.

11. SUPPORT, UPDATES, AND THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

Support, maintenance, and update rights exist only to the extent stated in the applicable order, documentation, or separate written support agreement. Security or compatibility corrections may require installation of an update. The software may rely on Windows features, scanner drivers, document viewers, or other third-party components governed by their own terms. Licensor is not responsible for third-party products or services.

12. TERMINATION

This Agreement remains in effect until terminated. Licensee may terminate it by permanently ceasing use and removing all copies of the software and license certificates. Licensor may terminate it for a material breach that Licensee does not cure within thirty (30) days after written notice, except that deliberate circumvention, unauthorized distribution, or infringement may result in immediate termination where permitted by law.

Upon termination, Licensee must stop using and remove the software and license certificates. Termination does not transfer ownership of Licensee's data to Licensor. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, restrictions, disclaimers, liability limitations, and general terms.

13. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in Iowa, except that either party may seek urgent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect confidential information or intellectual property. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

14. GENERAL TERMS

Licensee may not assign or transfer this Agreement or the license without Licensor's prior written consent, except as part of a merger or sale of substantially all of Licensee's assets where the successor agrees in writing to these terms and the license is not retained or duplicated. Licensor may assign this Agreement as part of a transfer of the software business or intellectual property.

Neither party is responsible for delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the greatest lawful extent and the remaining provisions will continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience only.

This Agreement, together with the applicable order and any signed written amendment, is the entire agreement concerning the software and replaces prior or contemporaneous communications on that subject. If an order conflicts with this Agreement, the order controls only if it expressly identifies the provision being changed and is accepted by Licensor.
