FIELDFINDINGS PROFESSIONAL END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Version 1.1 — Effective July 20, 2026

IMPORTANT: READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY SELECTING “I ACCEPT,” INSTALLING, COPYING, OR USING FIELDFINDINGS PROFESSIONAL, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.

1. PARTIES AND SOFTWARE
This Agreement is between you, or the organization on whose behalf you are acting (“Licensee”), and Ronald Telford (“Licensor”). “Software” means the FieldFindings Professional downloadable Windows application, its installer, included documentation, updates supplied under this Agreement, and associated files.

2. LICENSE GRANT
Subject to payment of all applicable fees and compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants Licensee a limited, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to install and use one licensed copy of the Software for one named user on one computer at a time owned or controlled by Licensee. Only the named user may routinely operate the Software. Additional users or concurrently activated computers require additional licenses unless Licensor agrees otherwise in writing. The licensed computer may be changed only through the Software's supported deactivation process or an owner-authorized reset.

3. OWNERSHIP
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor retains all right, title, and interest in the Software, including its source code, database structure, assessment library, report-generation logic, documentation, design, and other proprietary materials. The Software contains confidential and proprietary trade-secret material. No ownership rights are transferred to Licensee.

4. PERMITTED USE
Licensee may use the Software to conduct, document, manage, and report physical-security assessments and related professional work. Licensee may make one reasonable archival backup of the installer and license materials. Reports and other output created from Licensee's own data may be used for Licensee's lawful business purposes, subject to any third-party rights in the underlying data.

5. RESTRICTIONS
Licensee may not, except where applicable law expressly permits and cannot be waived: (a) copy or distribute the Software except as expressly allowed; (b) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, publish, host for third parties, or provide the Software as a service; (c) share a named-user license among multiple routine users; (d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code, algorithms, database structure, or trade secrets; (e) remove or alter copyright, trademark, proprietary, or attribution notices; (f) bypass or defeat license, activation, access-control, or technical-protection measures; (g) use the Software to violate law or the rights of another person; or (h) use the Software to develop or assist a competing software product through unauthorized access to proprietary elements.

6. CLIENT DATA, PRIVACY, AND SECURITY
The Software is designed to store assessment records locally in a client-data folder selected by Licensee. Licensor does not receive Licensee's assessment records, client photographs, documents, report content, or client database through the activation service. To issue, validate, administer, deactivate, prevent misuse of, and support the license, the Software and activation service may process the purchaser email address, licensed-user name, organization when supplied, activation-key proof or fingerprint, a one-way device identifier, computer name, Software version, license identifier, network address, and activation, deactivation, failure, and audit timestamps. Licensee is responsible for obtaining required permissions, protecting personal and confidential information, controlling access to the computer and data folder, maintaining encrypted backups, safeguarding recovery keys and passwords, and complying with applicable privacy, records, employment, security, and professional obligations.

7. PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT; NO SECURITY GUARANTEE
The Software is a documentation and decision-support tool. It does not replace qualified professional judgment, site-specific investigation, legal advice, engineering advice, code review, regulatory review, or emergency planning. Licensor does not guarantee that use of the Software will identify every hazard, vulnerability, threat, deficiency, or corrective action, or that any facility, person, system, or organization will be secure. Licensee remains solely responsible for assessment conclusions, recommendations, reports, implementation decisions, and services provided to clients or other persons.

8. UPDATES, UPGRADES, AND SUPPORT
The license includes updates that Licensor elects to provide for the same major product version. Licensor is not obligated to create or provide any update, feature, compatibility change, or support service. A new major version may require a separate fee. Support, maintenance, training, implementation, customization, and data-recovery services are provided only if separately offered or agreed in writing.

9. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS
The Software may include third-party components governed by their own license terms and notices. Those terms apply to the applicable components. Third-party notices supplied with the Software are incorporated by reference to the extent required by the applicable third-party licenses.

10. LIMITED WARRANTY AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
For thirty (30) days after the original purchase date, Licensor warrants that, when properly installed on a supported system, the Software will substantially conform to its accompanying documentation. This limited warranty does not cover misuse, unauthorized modification, unsupported systems, third-party software or hardware, malware, damaged data, loss of credentials or recovery keys, or failure to follow instructions. Licensee's exclusive remedy, and Licensor's entire obligation, is at Licensor's option to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the material nonconformity, replace the Software, or refund the amount Licensee paid for the affected license upon termination of that license.

11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY ABOVE AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS 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, COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, AND ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THESE TERMS MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, OR DATA; COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; SECURITY INCIDENTS; PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY LOSS ARISING FROM LICENSEE'S PROFESSIONAL DECISIONS; OR CLAIMS BY LICENSEE'S CLIENTS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. LICENSOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT LICENSEE PAID FOR THE LICENSE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND DO NOT LIMIT LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED.

13. INDEMNIFICATION
To the extent permitted by law, Licensee will defend, indemnify, and hold Licensor harmless from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from Licensee's unlawful use of the Software, violation of this Agreement, assessment services or reports supplied by Licensee, or failure to obtain required rights and permissions for data entered into the Software. This section does not require indemnification for Licensor's own willful misconduct.

14. TERM AND TERMINATION
This Agreement begins when Licensee accepts it and continues until terminated. Licensee may terminate it by permanently ceasing use and deleting all copies of the Software. Licensor may terminate the license if Licensee materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within ten (10) days after notice, or immediately if the breach is not curable. Upon termination, Licensee must stop using and delete the Software. Sections intended by their nature to survive termination will survive, including ownership, restrictions, disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnification, and governing law. Uninstalling the Software does not automatically delete Licensee's client data.

15. EXPORT AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Licensee will comply with applicable export-control, sanctions, privacy, intellectual-property, and other laws. Licensee represents that Licensee is not prohibited from receiving or using the Software under applicable law.

16. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any legal action arising from this Agreement must be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in or serving Henry County, Iowa, and each party consents to that venue and jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

17. TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT
Licensee may not assign or transfer this Agreement, the named-user license, the activation key, or the Software to another person or organization without Licensor's prior written consent. Licensee may move the existing named-user license to a replacement computer by first completing the supported deactivation process. If the prior computer is lost, stolen, damaged, or otherwise unavailable, Licensor may authorize a reset after reasonably verifying the purchase and circumstances. After a transfer or reset, Licensee must cease use on and remove the Software and license materials from the former computer when reasonably possible. Licensor may assign this Agreement as part of a sale, transfer, reorganization, or succession involving the Software or Licensor's related business or assets.

18. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT
Licensor may issue a revised agreement with a future update or major version. A revised agreement will apply only after Licensee affirmatively accepts it. Continued use of an earlier installed version remains governed by the agreement accepted for that version unless applicable law or a separate written agreement requires otherwise.

19. GENERAL TERMS
This Agreement and any written order or license document issued by Licensor constitute the entire agreement concerning the Software and supersede prior discussions concerning its licensing. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience only. Notices to Licensor must be sent using the current contact method published on the official FieldFindings product website or purchase record.

20. ACCEPTANCE RECORD
The installer may store a local record of acceptance containing the product version, EULA version, EULA file hash, acceptance date and time, Windows user name, and acceptance method. This record is retained locally for licensing and audit purposes and is not automatically transmitted to Licensor.

BY SELECTING “I ACCEPT,” LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LICENSEE HAS READ, UNDERSTANDS, AND AGREES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT IT FOR THE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION IDENTIFIED AS LICENSEE.
