End User License Agreement

Effective 13 October 2026 · Last updated 14 October 2026

The short version. Seqora is made by one person. The Free plan costs nothing and has no time limit. Pro is an optional paid subscription that adds features, with a free trial. Polar sells it as the merchant of record, and you can cancel it at any time. You may use Seqora for personal and work purposes. It can change and delete data in the databases you connect it to, so you are responsible for reviewing what it runs and for keeping backups. It comes “as is”, and my liability is limited as far as the law allows. This summary is for convenience; the full text below is what applies.

1. This agreement

This End User License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between you and Ayushman Gupta, an individual based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, who develops Seqora (“I”, “me”). Seqora is a personal project, not a company. The Agreement covers the Seqora desktop application, its installers, updates and documentation (together, “Seqora”).

By installing, copying or using Seqora, you accept this Agreement. If you use Seqora on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept it for that organisation, and “you” includes the organisation. If you do not accept it, do not install or use Seqora.

The Terms of Service cover the website and online services, and the Privacy Policy explains how personal data is handled. If the Terms of Service and this Agreement conflict about the desktop app, this Agreement applies.

2. Your licence

While you comply with this Agreement, I grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use Seqora on computers you own or control, for your own personal purposes or the internal business purposes of your organisation.

3. Restrictions

Unless the law gives you a right this Agreement cannot take away, you must not:

copy, distribute, sell, rent, lease, lend or sublicense Seqora, or share its installers or builds, other than by pointing people to seqora.dev;
offer Seqora to others as a hosted, managed or bundled service;
modify, translate, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer Seqora, or create works based on it;
remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other notice in Seqora;
work around its technical protections, including Pro licence checks and update signature checks;
use Seqora to access any database or system you are not authorised to access, or for anything unlawful;
use Seqora, or anything learned from it, to build a competing product by copying its design, features or code.

4. Ownership and your data

Seqora is licensed to you, not sold. I keep all rights, title and interest in Seqora, including its code, design, the name “Seqora” and its logo, except for the rights this Agreement grants you.

Your databases, queries, schema designs and other content you create or open with Seqora remain yours. I claim no rights in them, and Seqora does not send them to me (see the Privacy Policy).

5. Open-source components

Seqora includes open-source software, which is licensed to you under its own licence terms. Nothing in this Agreement limits the rights those licences give you, and where they conflict with this Agreement for that component, those licences apply.

6. Changes and support

Like any software, Seqora may contain bugs, behave unexpectedly, lose or corrupt data, or stop working. I may change, suspend or discontinue Seqora or any feature at any time, with or without notice. I have no obligation to provide support, maintenance, updates or fixes, or to keep Seqora available, although I will try to help when I can.

7. Your databases, your responsibility

Seqora connects to databases and systems you choose, and can read, change and delete their data and structure: running SQL, editing rows, applying schema changes, and running terminal and custom commands with your permissions.

You alone are responsible for:

what you connect Seqora to, and having permission to access and change it;
reviewing every statement, change and command before you run or apply it. Seqora's previews, generated SQL, schema diffs, warnings and safety checks are aids. They may be incomplete or wrong, and they are not a guarantee that an operation is safe;
keeping current, tested backups, and trying changes outside production first;
securing your computer, your accounts and your database credentials.

To the fullest extent the law allows, I am not responsible for any loss, corruption, exposure or unavailability of data, downtime, or other consequences of operations run through Seqora.

Seqora is not designed for uses where its failure could lead to death, personal injury, or serious physical or environmental harm, and you must not rely on it for such uses.

8. AI features

Seqora's AI features use a model running on your computer through Ollama, or on another Ollama server you configure. AI output can be incorrect, incomplete, insecure or destructive. Treat it as a suggestion, review it before running it, and use it at your own risk. The AI models and Ollama are third-party software governed by their own licences, which you are responsible for complying with.

9. Updates

Depending on the Updates setting, Seqora checks for updates, and can download and install them. Updates are signed so Seqora can confirm they come from me. This Agreement applies to every update unless an update comes with a different agreement. You can turn automatic updates off, but older versions may stop working with Seqora's online services or stop being supported.

10. Privacy

Crash reports are only sent if you opt in, and feedback only when you send it. On Pro, the app checks your licence key with Polar and with seqora.dev; these checks never include your databases, queries or connection details. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what Seqora collects and why.

11. Plans and fees

Seqora has two plans. Free costs nothing, needs no account and no licence key, has no time limit, and may be used for any purpose, including paid work at a company of any size. Pro is a paid subscription that adds features to the app. Those features work only while your Pro trial or subscription is active. The pricing page shows what each plan includes.

Who sells Pro. Pro is sold by Polar Software Inc. (“Polar”), which acts as the merchant of record: Polar is the seller of your subscription. It runs the checkout, takes your payment, collects any sales tax or VAT, sends your receipts, processes refunds, and runs the customer portal where you manage or cancel your subscription. Polar's own terms also apply to your purchase. This Agreement still governs your use of Seqora. You will see the price and these terms before you pay, and you will not be charged for anything you did not choose to buy.

Prices. Pro costs $99 a year or $9.99 a month. Prices are in US dollars and do not include tax. Any sales tax or VAT where you live is added at checkout, before you pay.

Founder price. A Pro subscription started on or before 31 December 2026 costs $49 a year or $5.99 a month instead. It keeps that price for as long as it renews without a break. A trial started by that date keeps the founder price when it becomes a paid subscription.

Renewal and cancellation. A Pro subscription renews automatically each month or each year, and you are charged at each renewal until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in Polar's customer portal. When you cancel, Pro stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and it does not renew after that.

Trial. You can try Pro free for 14 days, once per person. Polar checks this at checkout against your email address and payment card. The trial needs a payment card, and nothing is charged during it. When it ends, it becomes a paid subscription and the first payment is taken then, unless you cancel before it ends. You will get an email reminder before the first charge.

Refunds. You can have a full refund within 14 days of your first payment, monthly or yearly, and within 14 days of any yearly renewal. You will get an email before each yearly renewal. Later monthly payments are not refunded, but you can cancel at any time so you are not charged again. To ask for a refund, write to me at the address in section 22; Polar pays it back to the payment method you used. When a payment is refunded, Pro ends. This does not limit any refund rights the law where you live gives you.

Your price. If I change Pro's price, the new price applies to new subscriptions only. Your subscription keeps the price you signed up at, including a founder price, for as long as it renews without a break. If it lapses and you subscribe again later, the price at that time applies.

One person, up to 3 computers. A Pro subscription is for one person, and covers up to 3 of your own computers at a time. You can free a place by deactivating Pro on a computer in the app, or by removing the computer in Polar's customer portal. An organisation may buy Pro for someone who works for it, one subscription for each person who uses it.

Licence key and checks. Each trial and subscription comes with a licence key, which Polar emails to you. Pro works only after the app has activated the key on your computer with Polar, and the app checks the key again from time to time when it is online. Pro keeps working offline, but after 30 days without a successful check it asks you to connect once before Pro continues. Free features never depend on these checks. The Privacy Policy says what the checks send.

Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, Pro keeps working for 7 days while the payment is retried. If it still fails, the subscription ends.

When Pro ends. If your trial or subscription ends for any reason, Seqora returns to the Free plan. Nothing you made is deleted. Schema designs you saved stay in the app and open read-only, and you can still view and copy their SQL. If Pro ends while a Pro action is running, that action finishes.

Updates for everyone. Every user gets every Seqora update, including security fixes, whether they are on Free, on Pro, or their Pro has ended. Which features you can use depends only on whether Pro is active, never on the version you run.

12. Feedback

If you send me ideas, suggestions or bug reports, you give me a free, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable right to use them for any purpose, without owing you anything. Please don't send anything confidential, or anyone else's personal data.

13. No warranty

SEQORA IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, I DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ACCURACY, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT SEQORA WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DATABASES OR SYSTEMS, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT IT WILL NOT DAMAGE OR LOSE DATA.

No advice or information from me, whether oral or written, creates any warranty not expressly stated in this Agreement. Where the law does not allow a warranty to be excluded, it applies only to the minimum extent and for the minimum period the law requires.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

I WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, CONTRACTS, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DATABASE CORRUPTION, SECURITY INCIDENTS IN YOUR SYSTEMS, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO SEQORA OR THIS AGREEMENT;
MY TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO SEQORA OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR SEQORA IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, AND (ii) USD 50 (OR ITS EQUIVALENT IN YOUR LOCAL CURRENCY);
THESE LIMITS APPLY WHATEVER THE LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF I WAS TOLD THE DAMAGE WAS POSSIBLE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

These limits are an essential part of the basis on which Seqora is offered, on the Free plan and on Pro, and its prices reflect them. I would not be able to offer it without them.

15. What isn't limited

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for wilful misconduct. Nothing in it takes away rights you have as a consumer under the mandatory laws of the place where you live. Where the law does not allow a limit in this Agreement to apply in full, it applies to the greatest extent the law allows.

16. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you agree to defend and compensate me for any claims, losses, liabilities, damages and costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought by a third party and arising from your use of Seqora, the data and systems you use it with, your breach of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or anyone else's rights. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by my own fraud or wilful misconduct.

17. Termination

This Agreement lasts until it ends. You can end it at any time by uninstalling Seqora. It ends automatically if you breach it. I can end it, or stop offering Seqora, by notice on seqora.dev or in the app. When it ends, you must stop using Seqora and delete it. Uninstalling Seqora does not cancel a Pro subscription; cancel it as described in section 11. Sections 4, 7 and 12 to 22 continue to apply after it ends.

18. Export and sanctions

You must comply with all export control and sanctions laws that apply to your use of Seqora. You confirm that you are not located in a country, or named on a list, that those laws prohibit me from providing software to.

19. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of India. If you have a problem, please contact me first; we will both try in good faith to resolve it informally within 30 days. If that fails, the courts at Hyderabad, Telangana, India have exclusive jurisdiction, except where the mandatory consumer laws of the place where you live give you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.

20. Changes to this agreement

I may update this Agreement. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new date, and applies to versions and updates of Seqora released after that date. If a change is significant, I will also make a reasonable effort to tell you in the app or by email. If you don't accept an updated Agreement, stop using Seqora.

21. General

Entire agreement. This Agreement, the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about Seqora.
Severability. If any part is found unenforceable, it is changed only as much as needed to make it enforceable, and the rest stays in effect.
No waiver. Not enforcing a term right away does not mean I give up the right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not transfer this Agreement. I may transfer it, for example to a company I form to run Seqora or to anyone who takes over the project; your rights under it stay the same.
Events beyond my control. I am not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside my reasonable control.
Language. This Agreement is written in English. Any translation is for convenience only.
