Eclipse Software License Agreement

Document version: 2026-01

This Eclipse Software License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you and Federico Ventura SRLS. It governs your installation and use of Eclipse Render Manager, Eclipse Coordinator, Eclipse Render Node, their installers, updates, and related documentation (collectively, the “Software”).

Support: [email protected]

1. Acceptance

By installing, activating, accessing, or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you use the Software for a company or another organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

Your use of the Eclipse account, website, licensing service, and other online services is also subject to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into this Agreement. Business users must ensure that their personnel and contractors comply with it.

3. Licence grant

Subject to this Agreement, the applicable order, and your current licence entitlements, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable licence to install and use the Software in object-code form for your own personal or internal business rendering activities.

The Software is licensed, not sold. No ownership rights are transferred to you.

4. Products and licence scope

Eclipse Render Manager is the licensed dashboard and control application. Eclipse Coordinator and Eclipse Render Node may be used only as part of an authorised Eclipse environment and within the limits of the associated Eclipse Render Manager entitlement.

During the current beta, one beta entitlement permits one active Eclipse Render Manager device and up to five Render Nodes. Render Nodes do not perform an independent licence-server check, but this does not make them independently licensed or permit their use outside an authorised Eclipse environment.

Future Starter and Studio subscriptions may have different device, Render Node, feature, or usage limits. The limits displayed at checkout, in the account area, or in a signed licence entitlement form part of this Agreement. Prices are not part of this Agreement and are shown before purchase.

5. Activation, devices, and offline use

Eclipse Render Manager requires activation using the email address and licence credential associated with an Eclipse account. Activation records the device identifier, hostname, operating system, application version, and licence information needed to issue and validate the entitlement.

A licence may be moved to another device, but it may not be used concurrently on more devices than the applicable entitlement allows. The previous device must first be deactivated or revoked through the available device-management process.

The Software may continue to operate offline only until the end of the offline period contained in the signed licence entitlement. That period may vary by release, beta programme, or subscription. When it expires, an internet connection and successful licence validation are required before licensed rendering functions can continue.

You may not manipulate the system clock, device identity, licence files, signed tokens, or network requests to avoid activation or entitlement limits.

6. Permitted use

You may:

• Install and use the Software within your current entitlement.
• Use the Software to manage rendering on computers and networks you own or are authorised to control.
• Create reasonable backup copies of installers and configuration data for internal recovery.
• Allow employees and contractors to use the Software on your behalf while you remain responsible for compliance.

7. Restrictions

Except where applicable law expressly prevents a restriction, you may not:

• Copy, distribute, rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or commercially host the Software for third parties.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to discover source code, private keys, or licensing mechanisms.
• Bypass or interfere with activation, device limits, feature limits, updates, security controls, or compatibility checks.
• Remove or alter copyright, trademark, attribution, or proprietary notices.
• Modify the Software or create derivative works from it.
• Use the Software to provide an unauthorised shared service, bureau service, or competing product.
• Use the Software unlawfully, maliciously, or in a way that damages systems, networks, or third-party rights.

8. Digital content, DCC applications, and render engines

You retain ownership of your scenes, projects, render outputs, and other content. The Software does not grant licences for any third-party digital content creation application, render engine, plug-in, font, asset, or cloud service. You are responsible for obtaining and complying with all required third-party licences on every machine involved in rendering.

Unless you separately choose to send information to an online service, project files, render content, job data, and shared-folder data are processed on your devices and network. The Eclipse licensing service does not receive your scenes or render outputs.

9. Third-party software and services

The Software may contain or interact with third-party components and services, including GitHub for update delivery and Discord for optional notifications. Third-party components may be governed by their own licences and notices. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

10. Updates and compatibility

We may provide security, maintenance, compatibility, beta, and feature updates. Updates may be required to continue using online services, maintain compatibility, close a beta programme, or address security issues.

We may stop supporting older versions after reasonable notice where practicable. Eclipse Render Manager and Render Node versions may be subject to compatibility rules. You are responsible for maintaining compatible versions and for backing up important project and configuration data before an update.

11. Beta software

Beta software is provided for evaluation and testing. It may contain defects, change without notice, lose compatibility, or be withdrawn. Features and entitlements available during beta are not a promise that the same features or limits will be included in a paid plan.

You should not rely on beta software as the sole means of preserving project data or meeting critical production deadlines. You are responsible for backups and for validating the Software in your environment.

Feedback you voluntarily provide may be used by us without restriction or payment to improve Eclipse products, provided we do not publicly identify you without permission.

12. Ownership

The Software, its design, code, branding, documentation, and all related intellectual-property rights belong to Federico Ventura SRLS or its licensors. Eclipse names, logos, and product appearance may not be used without prior written permission except for accurate references to the Software.

Copyright © 2026 Federico Ventura SRLS. All rights reserved.

13. Suspension and termination

This Agreement remains effective until terminated. You may terminate it by deactivating the licence and uninstalling all copies of the Software.

We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary because of material breach, fraud, licence circumvention, security risk, unlawful use, non-payment of a paid subscription, or discontinuation of a beta programme. Where appropriate, we will provide notice and an opportunity to remedy the issue.

On termination, your licence ends and you must stop using and delete the Software, except for copies retained only where required by law. Terms that by their nature should survive termination remain effective, including ownership, limitations of liability, and governing law.

14. Warranty

To the maximum extent permitted by law, beta Software is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, compatibility with every hardware or third-party product, or that every defect will be corrected.

For paid Software, we will provide the conformity, remedies, and warranties required by applicable mandatory law. Nothing in this Agreement excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory rights of consumers in the European Union.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Federico Ventura SRLS is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings, data, render time, or production opportunity arising from the Software.

For business users, our total aggregate liability arising from the Software or this Agreement will not exceed the amount paid by that user for the affected Software during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or mandatory consumer remedies.

16. Responsibility of business users

Business users are responsible for their network, shared storage, backups, security, personnel, third-party licences, and use of the Software in production. A business user will indemnify Federico Ventura SRLS against third-party claims resulting from that user's unlawful content, infringement of third-party rights, or deliberate breach of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law.

17. Export and sanctions compliance

You may not use, export, or re-export the Software in violation of applicable export-control, trade-sanctions, or embargo laws.

18. Consumer rights

If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer-protection law applies in addition to this Agreement. Nothing here limits statutory remedies for non-conforming digital content or services. Information about subscriptions, renewals, cancellation, withdrawal, and refunds is provided in the Terms of Service and at checkout.

19. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by Italian law, without prejudice to mandatory protections provided by the law of a consumer's country of residence.

For consumers, the competent court is determined by mandatory consumer law and will generally be the court of the consumer's residence or domicile where required. For business users, the Court of Como, Italy, has exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

Before starting formal proceedings, you may contact [email protected] so that we can attempt to resolve the dispute.

20. Changes

We may update this Agreement for legal, security, technical, or product reasons. Material changes will be communicated through the Software, website, account, or email where appropriate and may require renewed acceptance. The document version and update date identify the applicable text.

21. General terms

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent, except where mandatory law permits it. We may assign it as part of a merger, reorganisation, or transfer of the relevant business, subject to applicable law.

This Agreement, the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, the applicable order, and any mandatory product notices form the entire agreement concerning the Software.
