Terms

Software terms.

Launch note: These product-facing terms are intentionally simple and should be reviewed alongside the final merchant-of-record checkout terms before public sales are enabled.

Licence

The Free edition may be used without a paid Pro licence. A valid Excel Link Detective Pro purchase grants a perpetual software licence subject to the activation limit shown at purchase. The v1.0.0 licence permits up to two activated devices.

Permitted use

You may use the software for personal or legitimate business workflow purposes. You may keep reasonable backup copies of the installer for your own licensed use.

Restrictions

You may not sell, sublicense or distribute a Pro licence key to unrelated third parties, or use the software/licensing system to bypass activation requirements.

Workbook changes and backups

Spreadsheet repair can change files. Excel Link Detective is designed to create backups for supported mutation operations and to refuse certain unsafe operations, but you remain responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of important workbooks.

Compatibility

Support is focused on the Windows and workbook formats described on the product page. Not every possible spreadsheet feature, third-party extension, encrypted workbook or network/cloud environment can be guaranteed.

Refunds and mandatory rights

Purchases and refunds are handled through the merchant of record and applicable checkout terms. Nothing in these terms is intended to remove consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.

Warranty and liability

The software is provided as a productivity utility and is not a substitute for maintaining backups or independently verifying business-critical spreadsheet results. Any limitations of warranty or liability are subject to rights and protections that cannot be excluded by applicable law.

Support

Questions about these terms or a licence can be sent to Support contact will be published before launch.
