Proprietary software license
This license governs the Bootroom application for macOS, including the Licensor's original code, interface, documentation and updates supplied under this license (the "Software"). "You" means the person obtaining the Software. Third-party components are governed separately as explained in section 4.
1. Acceptance
This license must be made available to You before installation or use. By downloading, installing or using the Software, You agree to its terms. If You do not agree, do not download, install or use the Software. Any refund or other remedy remains subject to applicable law and the purchase terms provided to You before purchase. This license does not itself establish a refund policy.
2. Limited license
Subject to these terms and payment of any applicable purchase price, the Licensor grants You a non-exclusive, worldwide license to install and use the Software on Macs You own or control for Your personal Football Manager scouting and gameplay. You may make reasonable backup copies, retaining all notices.
This license permits use of the supplied version for as long as You comply with it, unless a different license duration was clearly disclosed and agreed before purchase. It does not grant a right to future paid versions, services or updates. The Software is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
You may publish reviews, screenshots, gameplay videos and streams showing Your ordinary use of the Software, including monetised content, subject to any separate rights in game content, personal information and other third-party material. This permission does not allow redistribution of the Software itself.
Commercial deployment, resale, hosted access, white-labelling, or use to provide a paid scouting service requires a separate written license from the Licensor.
3. Restrictions
Except with the Licensor's prior written permission, You must not:
- (a) distribute, publish, sublicense, rent, lease, sell, or make the Software available to others, including through mirrors or repackaged downloads;
- (b) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Licensor's proprietary code or documentation;
- (c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Licensor's proprietary components;
- (d) remove or alter copyright, trademark, attribution or license notices; or
- (e) bypass an applicable license or activation restriction, or misrepresent the Software or a modified version as an official or authorised release.
These restrictions apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law. They do not restrict activities that applicable law permits notwithstanding a contractual restriction, or rights granted under a third-party component's license. This includes any applicable mandatory rights concerning interoperability, observation, study, testing, backup or transfer.
You may share links to the Licensor's official download location.
4. Ownership and third-party components
The Licensor retains ownership of its rights in the Software. No ownership of Football Manager, its save files, database, trademarks, game assets or other third-party material is claimed or transferred under this license.
Open-source software, runtimes, libraries and other third-party components included with the Software remain subject to their own licenses. Their copyright notices and license texts are provided in the file THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt included with the Software (inside the application, at Bootroom.app/Contents/Resources/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt). Those terms prevail for their respective components where they conflict with this license. This license does not withdraw or restrict permissions granted by those terms or impose its proprietary restrictions on those components.
5. Game compatibility and analytical output
Bootroom is an independent companion tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sports Interactive, SEGA, or the owners of Genie Scout or FM Scout. Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
A lawful copy of a supported Football Manager version is required to use features that read its data. You are responsible for having permission to access any save, graphics pack or other material You supply. This license grants no permission to access third-party material or services unlawfully.
Game updates and changes in save formats may affect compatibility. Decoded fields, ratings, projections and transfer or loan interest estimates may be incomplete or inaccurate. Estimates are not guarantees of game behaviour or negotiation outcomes. Check important results in the game and keep backups of Your saves. This section does not override an express commitment made to You before purchase or any rights that applicable law preserves.
6. Your data and privacy
As between You and the Licensor, You retain any rights You have in Your own notes, shortlists, settings and other content. Rights in game data and other third-party content remain with their respective owners. This license does not grant the Licensor ownership of Your files or permission to publish them.
Any collection or processing of personal information is described in the Software's separate privacy notice, published at https://bootroomscout.com/privacy/ and included with the Software as PRIVACY.txt (inside the application, at Bootroom.app/Contents/Resources/PRIVACY.txt). This license does not itself authorise telemetry or uploading Your saves. It does not restrict Your lawful use of Your own notes, shortlists or exported results.
7. Updates and support
Unless separately agreed or required by applicable law, this license does not promise support, maintenance, compatibility with every game update or future features. Updates supplied under this license are covered by it. A replacement license for a future version must be presented for acceptance; publishing changed terms does not retrospectively remove rights already granted for Your version.
8. Warranties and mandatory rights
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. NO UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION IS PROMISED.
Nothing in this license excludes an express warranty the Licensor has given, a consumer guarantee, statutory remedy, refund right, or other right or obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Licensor is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, business interruption or loss of anticipated savings arising from use of the Software. Subject to the exceptions below, the Licensor's total aggregate liability arising from the Software or this license is limited to the greater of (i) the amount You paid the Licensor for the Software in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (ii) US$25.
These exclusions and limits apply only where lawful and fair. They do not apply to fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, deliberate misconduct, or any liability or remedy that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited. They do not reduce any mandatory consumer protection, including rights relating to defective digital content.
10. Termination
You may terminate this license by uninstalling the Software and deleting Your copies of its proprietary components. The Licensor may terminate it if You materially breach these terms and fail to remedy a remediable breach within 30 days after written notice describing the breach.
On termination, stop using and delete the Licensor's proprietary Software and copies, except records You must retain by law. This does not require deletion of Your own notes, shortlists, exported results or content, and does not terminate independent rights under third-party licenses. Sections concerning ownership, accrued obligations, liability and dispute resolution survive as appropriate.
11. Governing law and disputes
This license is governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to mandatory rights, disputes are subject to the state and federal courts located in California.
If You are a consumer, this choice does not deprive You of mandatory protections or rights to bring proceedings in a court available to You under applicable law. Please contact the Licensor at the address above to try to resolve a dispute. This request does not restrict Your access to courts, regulators or remedies.
12. General
This license and any separate purchase terms expressly agreed with You govern Your use of the Software, subject to mandatory law and the third-party terms identified above. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision does not waive it. A separate written agreement may grant additional rights.
