1.3. If the User does not agree with the Agreement, they must stop using the Service.

2. Nature of the goods and services
2.1. The Service provides intangible digital goods: the Conchshell software and licences for it.
2.2. The application itself is distributed free of charge. What is paid for is a licence key, which enables synchronisation of saved connections between the User's devices.

2.4. The licence key is delivered electronically once payment is confirmed, to the e-mail address given at purchase.
2.5. The User understands and agrees that the value of the digital goods lies in the software itself, its maintenance and its updates, not in the exclusivity of individual features.

3.1. The Service is provided “AS IS”.
3.2. The Administration does not guarantee: that the Service will meet the User's expectations; that any financial, commercial, professional or other outcome will be achieved; or that the Service will run without interruption or error.
3.3. The Administration is not liable for: any direct or indirect losses, including lost profit; the consequences of the User's use of the materials obtained; the acts or omissions of third parties; or temporary technical failures and access restrictions.

5.3. The application includes third-party components, each under its own licence. The list, with the licence texts, is available inside the application under “About”.
5.4. Infringement of intellectual property rights may lead to revocation of the issued licence and to restriction of access to the Service without compensation.
6. Restriction of access

6.2. Restriction of access does not release the User from obligations already incurred.
6.3. The Administration reserves the right to refuse service to Users whose actions may create heightened risk for the Service, for payment providers or for third parties.
