End User License Agreement

Effective date: March 26, 2026

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you ("User" or "you") and the developer of Screencore ("Developer", "we", or "us") governing your use of the Screencore application for macOS ("Software").

By installing, copying, or otherwise using the Software, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use the Software.

1. License Grant

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Developer grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license to install and use the Software on any macOS device that you own or control, solely for your personal or professional screenplay writing purposes.

2. Description of the Software

Screencore is a professional screenplay editor built exclusively for macOS. The Software provides industry-standard screenplay formatting, a custom text engine built on Core Text, production features including scene numbers and WGA-standard revisions, local peer-to-peer collaboration via the Writers Room feature, and support for multiple file formats including .screencore, PDF, Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, plain text, and RTF.

The Software operates entirely on your local machine. There are no user accounts, no cloud syncing, and no subscription fees. All data created with the Software remains stored locally on your device unless you choose to export or share it.

3. Restrictions

You agree that you will not:

Copy, modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works based on the Software, except as permitted by applicable law.
Distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, loan, or otherwise transfer the Software to any third party.
Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices contained in the Software.
Use the Software for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with any safety limits, content caps, or input restrictions built into the Software.

4. Intellectual Property

The Software and all copies thereof are proprietary to the Developer and title thereto is retained by the Developer. All applicable rights to patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets in the Software are and shall remain in the Developer. You do not acquire any ownership rights in the Software by virtue of this Agreement.

All content you create using the Software, including screenplays, notes, and associated materials, remains your sole property. The Developer claims no rights to your creative work.

5. Content Limits and Truncated Input

The Software enforces built-in safety limits to ensure stability and protect data integrity. These limits apply to pasting, typing, importing, and all other forms of content entry. When content exceeds a limit, the Software will automatically truncate the input to the maximum allowed amount. A notification will be displayed when truncation occurs.

The following limits are enforced:

Maximum document size: 20,000 blocks (elements) and 250 pages. Content that would cause the document to exceed these limits will be truncated.
Maximum element length: Individual screenplay elements (action, dialogue, parenthetical, etc.) are capped at a per-type character limit. Text exceeding the limit for its element type will be truncated upon entry.
Pasted content: When you paste text from the clipboard, the Software will parse and insert it up to the document's block and page limits. Any content beyond these limits will be silently discarded. A toast notification will inform you that truncation occurred. Pasting large amounts of content (20 or more blocks) may trigger a brief loading indicator.
Imported files: Files imported via Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, plain text, or RTF are subject to a 5 MB file size cap per import. Content within imported files that exceeds the document's block or page limits will be truncated. You will be notified if any content was removed during import.
Notes: A maximum of 500 script notes are allowed per document, with each note limited to 2,000 characters.
Find and Replace: Search queries are limited to 500 characters. Replacement text is limited to 5,000 characters. A maximum of 5,000 matches may be returned per search.

These limits exist to prevent performance degradation, memory exhaustion, and data corruption. The Developer reserves the right to adjust these limits in future updates.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CONTENT EXCEEDING THESE LIMITS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TRUNCATED, AND THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF CONTENT RESULTING FROM THE ENFORCEMENT OF THESE SAFETY LIMITS.

6. File Format Compatibility

The Software supports import and export of third-party file formats, including but not limited to Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, plain text, and RTF. These import and export features are provided on a best-effort basis. Third-party file formats are owned and controlled by their respective developers, and the Developer makes no guarantee of full, complete, or lossless compatibility with any third-party format.

You acknowledge that converting files between formats may result in the loss, alteration, or omission of formatting, metadata, comments, annotations, or other content. The Developer shall not be liable for any data loss, corruption, or formatting changes that occur as a result of importing from or exporting to any third-party file format. You are responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of any converted file.

7. Data Storage and Backups

All files, documents, and data created with the Software are stored locally on your device. The Software includes automatic and timed backup features that save copies to your local Application Support directory. You are solely responsible for maintaining adequate backups of your data beyond those provided by the Software.

The Writers Room collaboration feature operates over your local network using Apple's MultipeerConnectivity framework. No data is transmitted over the internet. Session data is shared only with participants connected to the same local network session. The Writers Room feature uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for peer discovery and connection. Bluetooth is used solely for discovering nearby peers on your local network and is not used to transmit document data over the internet.

8. System Services Disclaimer

The Software relies on certain system services provided by Apple Inc. as part of macOS, including but not limited to spellcheck (NSSpellChecker), printing, PDF rendering, and font management. These services are provided and maintained by Apple, not by the Developer. The Developer has no control over the behavior, accuracy, availability, or performance of these system services.

The Developer shall not be liable for any errors, inaccuracies, failures, or limitations arising from the use of Apple system services within the Software, including but not limited to incorrect spell-check suggestions, printing defects, PDF rendering anomalies, or font substitution issues.

9. Collaboration Disclaimer (Writers Room)

The Writers Room feature enables local peer-to-peer collaboration between users on the same network. You are solely responsible for choosing which individuals to invite to or accept into a Writers Room session. The Developer has no control over the identity, actions, or conduct of any collaborator in a session.

THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY ACTIONS TAKEN BY COLLABORATORS IN A WRITERS ROOM SESSION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO UNAUTHORIZED COPYING, THEFT, DISTRIBUTION, OR MISUSE OF YOUR SCREENPLAY OR OTHER CONTENT, CORRUPTION OF DOCUMENT DATA, DISRUPTIVE OR OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR, OR ANY OTHER CONDUCT BY A COLLABORATOR.

Use of the Writers Room feature does not create any confidentiality obligation, non-disclosure agreement, or fiduciary duty between participants. If you require legal protections for your creative work, you are responsible for obtaining separate written agreements with your collaborators before sharing any content.

10. Disclaimer of Liability for Data Loss

THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, CORRUPTION, OR DESTRUCTION OF DATA, FILES, SCREENPLAYS, DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER CONTENT ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE. This includes, without limitation, data loss resulting from:

Software crashes, system failures, hardware malfunctions, or power outages
File corruption, operating system updates, or incompatible third-party software
Improper use of the Software
Use of destructive features such as Nuclear Reset, scene number locking, or Advance Draft
Automatic truncation of pasted, typed, or imported content that exceeds the Software's built-in safety limits (as described in Section 5)
Import or export of third-party file formats (as described in Section 6)
Any other cause whatsoever

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of all your work and data.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from the Developer shall create any warranty not expressly stated in this Agreement.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

In any event, the Developer's total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising from or related to this Agreement or the Software shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Software, if any.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Developer and its affiliates, officers, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Software; (b) your violation of any term of this Agreement; (c) any content you create, share, export, or distribute using the Software; or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property or proprietary right.

This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. Your rights under this Agreement will terminate automatically without notice if you fail to comply with any of its terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies in your possession.

Sections 4 through 13 and 15 through 27 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

15. Privacy

Screencore does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. Screencore does not independently connect to the internet and does not transmit any user data to the Developer or third parties. The Software does not include analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind. All data remains on your local device. The Writers Room feature transmits data only over your local network to connected peers during an active session.

16. Updates and Modifications

The Developer may release updates, patches, or new versions of the Software from time to time. Such updates may modify or remove features, adjust safety limits, or change content caps. The Developer is not obligated to provide updates, maintenance, or support. This Agreement applies to any updates that replace or supplement the original Software, unless such update is accompanied by a separate license agreement.

The Developer may, at its sole discretion, cease development, updates, or support for the Software at any time. The Software is provided on an "as available" basis, and the Developer makes no commitment to maintain compatibility with future versions of macOS or any other platform.

Third-Party Platform Dependencies. The Software relies on frameworks, APIs, and system services provided by Apple Inc. as part of macOS, including but not limited to MultipeerConnectivity (used by the Writers Room collaboration feature). If Apple discontinues, restricts, or materially alters any framework or system service upon which a feature of the Software depends, that feature may become unavailable, degraded, or removed in a subsequent update without prior notice. The Developer is not responsible for the availability, performance, or continuity of any third-party framework or platform service, and shall not be liable for any loss of functionality resulting from changes made by Apple or any other third-party provider.

Removal of Harmful or Destructive Features. If any feature of the Software is determined by the Developer to be harmful, destructive, or detrimental to data integrity, system stability, or user experience, the Developer reserves the right to disable, modify, or permanently remove that feature in any update without prior notice. The Developer shall not be liable for any inconvenience or loss of functionality resulting from the removal of such a feature.

17. Future Add-Ons and Paid Extensions

The Developer may, at its sole discretion, develop and offer optional add-on features, content packs, templates, cloud-based services, or other extensions ("Add-Ons") for the Software in the future. Add-Ons may be offered as separate paid purchases, subscriptions, or free updates.

The purchase price of the Software covers only the features and functionality included at the time of your purchase. It does not entitle you to any future Add-Ons, whether paid or free. This includes, without limitation, any cloud storage, cloud syncing, online collaboration, or other internet-based services that may be offered in the future. Each Add-On will be offered under its own pricing and terms, which will be presented to you before purchase.

The Developer is not obligated to develop, release, or maintain any Add-Ons. The availability, pricing, and features of any Add-On may change at the Developer's discretion. The Developer reserves the right to discontinue any Add-On at any time.

YOUR PURCHASE OF THE SOFTWARE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A PROMISE, GUARANTEE, OR ENTITLEMENT TO ANY FUTURE ADD-ONS, FEATURES, CLOUD SERVICES, OR EXTENSIONS, WHETHER PAID OR FREE.

18. Feedback

Any feedback, suggestions, ideas, bug reports, enhancement requests, or other communications you provide to the Developer regarding the Software ("Feedback") are provided voluntarily and on a non-confidential basis. You hereby grant the Developer a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, distribute, and otherwise exploit any Feedback for any purpose, without compensation or attribution to you.

You acknowledge that the Developer may already be developing features, products, or services that are similar to or competitive with ideas contained in your Feedback, and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an obligation to develop, implement, or incorporate any Feedback.

19. Mac App Store Terms

If you obtained the Software through the Mac App Store, the following additional terms apply:

(a) This Agreement is between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not a party to this Agreement.

(g) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

20. Export Compliance

You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States Government embargo or that has been designated by the United States Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

21. Dispute Resolution

(a) Informal Resolution. Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact the Developer and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for a period of at least thirty (30) days. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may proceed as set forth below.

(b) Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, that cannot be resolved informally shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association or a comparable arbitration body in the jurisdiction in which the Developer resides. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon both parties. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND THE DEVELOPER AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

22. Changes to This Agreement
