MEOW TERMS OF USE
Effective date: 2026-09-10
Terms version: 7.0
These Terms govern your installation and use of Meow. You accept these Terms when you select “I accept the Terms of Use” through an acceptance flow presented by Decision Cue. Your acceptance applies to the version presented to you and does not constitute advance acceptance of materially different future terms.
1. ABOUT MEOW, DECISION CUE AND THESE TERMS
Meow is browser software distributed under the Decision Cue brand.
“Operator” means the natural person who owns and operates the Decision Cue brand and distributes this version of Meow. “Decision Cue,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to that Operator. Decision Cue is a brand name and is not a separate incorporated legal entity.
“Protected Parties” means the Operator and, where applicable, its current and former owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, developers, licensors, suppliers, distributors, service providers, commercial partners, successors and permitted assigns, solely in connection with Meow.
“Meow” or “Software” means the official executable Meow browser software, its built-in functions and updates supplied by or for Decision Cue.
“Consumer” means a natural person using Meow predominantly for purposes outside that person's trade, business, craft or profession.
“Third-Party Services” include websites, operating systems, meeting platforms, AI services, search providers, content providers, extensions, plug-ins, downloads, applications, networks and other products or services not operated by Decision Cue.
These Terms govern Meow, its built-in functions and official Decision Cue materials provided specifically for Meow. Merely visiting an informational website does not, by itself, constitute acceptance of the software licence.
These Terms do not replace the terms applicable to Third-Party Services or the licences applicable to third-party or open-source software components.
You must have legal capacity to enter these Terms. Meow is not directed to children under 16. A person below the age at which they can independently enter this agreement under applicable law may use Meow only where applicable law permits and any necessary parent or legal guardian has lawfully agreed on their behalf. Decision Cue does not represent that it independently verifies every user's age or identity.
2. LICENCE, GENERAL USE AND BUSINESS-RESTRICTED FUNCTIONS
Subject to these Terms, Decision Cue grants you a limited, revocable only as provided in these Terms, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable licence to download, install and use the official executable version of Meow for lawful purposes.
Meow is licensed, not sold. No ownership of Meow or its intellectual property is transferred to you.
No licence, authorization or other right is granted by implication, estoppel, silence, technical availability, absence of a technical restriction, course of dealing or otherwise. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
The current Meow Beta is provided without a software licence fee. No charge becomes payable merely because you download, install or use Meow. Any payment obligation requires a separate written agreement or authorization and any disclosures and acceptance required by applicable law.
“Business or Organizational Use” means use on behalf of, primarily for the benefit of, or in the course of duties performed for an employer, client, business, school, government body or other organization, or use in connection with your own trade, business, craft or profession.
“Restricted Functions” means System Audio Input, Screen Privacy and Floating Mirror, including substantially equivalent successor or replacement functions provided under another name.
Meow's ordinary browser functionality may be used for lawful personal or Business or Organizational Use without separate written authorization from Decision Cue.
For lawful personal, non-commercial use, you may use the Restricted Functions subject to these Terms without separate authorization.
You must not use a Restricted Function in connection with Business or Organizational Use unless Decision Cue has first granted express written authorization for that use.
For Business or Organizational Use without authorization, disable the Restricted Functions in Meow settings before ordinary browsing. Opening Meow solely to review settings and disable those functions is permitted. A default-enabled setting does not constitute authorization.
Technical availability of a Restricted Function does not constitute authorization. Decision Cue's decision not to implement an account check, paywall, licence key, organization verification mechanism or other technical restriction does not grant, imply or waive the requirement for authorization.
An enquiry, request for authorization, silence, continued technical access or previous use does not constitute authorization.
Decision Cue may issue Business or Organizational Use authorization in writing, including by email from info@decisioncue.com. Unless the authorization expressly states otherwise, it only permits use of the Restricted Functions for the person, organization, purpose, duration and scope identified in that authorization.
Authorization to use a Restricted Function does not constitute certification or approval of the user's workflow, legal compliance, information-security arrangements or underlying activity, and does not create any warranty, service level, support commitment, partnership, endorsement or other obligation not expressly stated in the authorization or a separate written agreement.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, these Terms continue to govern authorized use of the Restricted Functions. A separate signed business agreement controls the matters it expressly governs and prevails over inconsistent provisions of these Terms for that authorized use.
An individual's status as an employee, professional or business owner does not by itself make every use of Meow Business or Organizational Use. The purpose and context of the particular use determine whether this Section applies. Personal browsing does not become Business or Organizational Use solely because you visit an organization's website.
Do not purport to request or accept authorization on behalf of an organization unless you have authority to act for that organization. An employee's individual acceptance does not, by itself, establish that their employer has accepted a separate business agreement with Decision Cue.
3. MEOW FUNCTIONS AND IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
Business or Organizational Use of Restricted Functions is subject to Section 2.
Meow provides general browser functionality together with additional convenience and privacy-related functions. Those functions reduce particular risks or change the way information is presented or routed. They are not guarantees.
System Audio Input. System Audio Input allows a supported website or browser workflow to receive audio from a supported system-playback source instead of, or as configured in place of, an ordinary microphone source.
System playback can include sound from multiple applications, calls, media, notifications, other people's voices and content you did not intend to transmit.
You control whether and when to activate System Audio Input and remain responsible for confirming the source, content, recipient and purpose of the transmission.
Before activating System Audio Input, close or mute unrelated sources and verify what the receiving service may record, transcribe, store, analyze or transmit.
A microphone, operating-system or website permission does not itself establish that recording, transmitting, transcribing or processing another person's voice is lawful. Meow does not provide consent on behalf of a participant, employer, rights holder or other person.
Disabling Meow's System Audio Input does not represent that unrelated software, operating-system functions or Third-Party Services cannot independently access another audio source.
You must not use System Audio Input for unlawful interception, covert surveillance, unauthorized recording, infringement or transmission of communications or protected content that you are not legally permitted to capture or transmit.
Screen Privacy. Screen Privacy uses supported operating-system or software mechanisms intended to reduce accidental capture or disclosure of applicable Meow windows during supported screen-sharing or recording workflows.
Screen Privacy does not guarantee confidentiality, invisibility, anonymity, immunity from capture or protection against every screen-sharing, recording, screenshot, remote-access, camera, driver, graphics, operating-system or other capture technique.
Someone may still photograph your physical display. Information you intentionally send to a website or other recipient is not protected merely because Screen Privacy is enabled.
Functionality may differ or change depending on operating-system versions, drivers, graphics configuration, remote-desktop software, meeting applications, capture applications and sharing modes.
Always verify the actual receiving or shared view before displaying confidential, privileged, regulated, commercially sensitive or personal information.
A displayed status or icon inside Meow is not independent verification of what another participant, recording tool or remote system can see.
You must not use Screen Privacy to defeat examination or interview proctoring, authorized workplace monitoring, compliance or audit controls, access controls, security controls, disclosure requirements or other safeguards that you are legally or contractually required to observe.
Screen Privacy is not a data-loss-prevention system, access-control system, confidentiality warranty or security certification.
Floating Mirror. Floating Mirror displays a selected area of a webpage or browser content in a movable window intended to make it easier for you to position information where you can see it.
Floating Mirror does not alter ownership, copyright, confidentiality, contractual restrictions, access restrictions or other rights applicable to the source content.
It does not grant permission to record, reproduce, redistribute, publish, disclose, scrape, commercially exploit or use displayed content for AI training or other purposes.
Source content may change, and the Floating Mirror may be delayed, interrupted or temporarily inconsistent with the source.
Check both the selected source area and the actual sharing/capture state before presenting material.
General feature limitations. Compatibility, performance and availability depend on your device, operating system, drivers, network and Third-Party Services.
Meow is not a security certification, data-loss-prevention service, identity-verification system, access-control system, legal-compliance system, professional adviser or emergency service.
Do not use Meow as the sole safeguard for confidential or sensitive data.
Do not use Meow in nuclear, aviation, medical life-support, weapons, emergency-response, industrial-control or other safety-critical circumstances where software failure could reasonably be expected to result in death, serious bodily injury or serious physical or environmental harm.
4. YOUR CHOICES, CONTENT AND LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES
You are responsible for the websites you choose to visit; content you choose to access; files you choose to download; input sources and sharing modes you select; extensions or applications you install; recipients you select; and recording, transmission, storage, publication or use that you initiate.
You must obtain any permission, licence, notice, consent or other lawful basis required by applicable law, contract or rights holder before recording, capturing, processing, transmitting, storing or disclosing another person's voice, personal information, confidential information, privileged information or protected content.
Permission to hear, view or access material is not necessarily permission to record, reproduce, disclose, transmit, scrape, modify, distribute or send that material to another service, including an AI, transcription, analysis or cloud service.
You must comply with applicable privacy, interception, recording, surveillance, copyright, intellectual-property, confidentiality, employment, education, cybersecurity, computer-misuse, data-protection, export, sanctions and other laws applicable to your conduct.
You must also comply with lawful agreements and policies applicable to your device, workplace, school, network and Third-Party Services.
You must have permission to install and use Meow on a managed, employer-owned, school-owned, shared or otherwise restricted device.
A function made technically available by Meow is not a representation that your particular use of that function is lawful or permitted.
5. PROHIBITED USES
You must not use Meow, directly or indirectly:
(a) to violate applicable law or another person's rights;
(b) for unlawful surveillance, interception or recording;
(c) to access, obtain, disclose or transmit personal, confidential, privileged, proprietary or protected information without required authority;
(d) to infringe copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, privacy, publicity or other rights;
(e) for fraud, deception, impersonation, phishing, identity theft or credential theft;
(f) to create, distribute, deliver or facilitate malware, ransomware, malicious code or harmful payloads;
(g) to gain unauthorized access to a computer, network, account, device, service or data;
(h) to bypass or defeat technical access restrictions, authentication mechanisms, security controls, digital-rights controls or legally enforceable restrictions;
(i) to evade examination, interview or assessment rules, proctoring, authorized workplace controls, legally required monitoring, compliance controls or disclosure obligations;
(j) to use Screen Privacy to conceal conduct that you are legally or contractually required to disclose;
(k) to interfere with, overload, disrupt, damage or degrade Meow, Decision Cue infrastructure, another service or another person's device;
(l) to misrepresent that Decision Cue, Meow, a regulator, an employer, a school, a meeting provider or another third party sponsors, endorses, authorizes or approves you or your conduct;
(m) to remove or falsify proprietary notices, digital signatures, security indicators or source-identification information;
(n) to test, exploit or disclose a vulnerability in another person's systems without lawful authorization;
(o) for a sanctioned, embargoed or otherwise prohibited purpose where applicable law prohibits the acquisition or use of Meow;
(p) to facilitate conduct that would be unlawful if performed directly by you; or
(q) to use a Restricted Function for Business or Organizational Use without the authorization required by Section 2.
Availability of a feature does not constitute encouragement, approval or direction of any prohibited use.
6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, EXTENSIONS, DOWNLOADS AND INTERNET CONTENT
Meow is a general-purpose browser. Websites, advertisements, links, downloads and Internet content can be inaccurate, deceptive, malicious, infringing, offensive or unlawful.
Decision Cue does not endorse or adopt third-party content merely because Meow can access, display or interact with it.
Third-Party Services are governed by their own terms, permissions and privacy practices.
A website or service you select may receive information you choose to transmit, including audio, files, text or other content. It may independently record, transcribe, analyze, retain, transfer, sell, disclose or otherwise process information according to its own functionality and legal obligations.
Review the recipient's practices before transmitting sensitive information.
If and to the extent Meow permits downloads, extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, scripts, external applications or integrations, those items may be provided by third parties.
Unless Decision Cue expressly identifies an item as its own, Decision Cue does not control, endorse, certify or warrant that item. You are responsible for evaluating its source, requested permissions, legality and suitability.
Third-party code may access information according to permissions you grant and the capabilities of the operating system or browser.
Decision Cue may, but is not required to, warn about, block, disable or restrict an item or integration that it reasonably believes presents a security, integrity, compatibility or legal risk.
Failure to detect, warn about or block a website, extension, file, download or other item does not constitute a representation that it is safe, lawful or trustworthy.
Do not ignore browser, certificate, operating-system or security warnings merely to continue using Meow.
7. PRIVACY AND DATA
Decision Cue does not obtain ownership of content merely because you access or transmit it using Meow.
Our Privacy Notice explains personal data, if any, processed by Decision Cue in connection with Meow, including applicable purposes, categories, recipients, retention, transfers and user choices.
These Terms are not blanket consent to personal-data processing and do not replace any separate notice, consent or lawful basis required by applicable law.
Content you intentionally transmit to a Third-Party Service is subject to that recipient's processing practices and terms.
Meow may maintain a local technical record that a particular Terms version was accepted on a device. Whether acceptance, update, diagnostic, security, crash, telemetry or other information is transmitted from a device must be described accurately in the applicable Privacy Notice.
Temporary or private browsing functionality does not mean that all traces are erased from a computer, network or third party.
Operating systems, websites, networks, DNS providers, employers, security software, meeting services and other applications may retain their own records.
Bookmarks, settings, downloaded files, printed documents, exported material, clipboard content and files opened outside Meow may remain after a browsing session ends.
Do not interpret a browser privacy setting as a representation concerning the independent retention or processing performed by a Third-Party Service.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND OPEN-SOURCE COMPONENTS
Meow is licensed, not sold.
Except for third-party and open-source components, all copyrights, trademarks and other proprietary rights in Meow's proprietary code, Decision Cue and Meow branding, and original Decision Cue materials remain with their respective owners.
Except where permitted by applicable law, an applicable open-source or third-party licence, or written authorization from Decision Cue, you must not:
(a) redistribute, sell, sublicense or commercially exploit Meow beyond the use expressly permitted by Section 2 or a separate written authorization;
(b) modify or create derivative works of proprietary portions of Meow;
(c) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble proprietary portions of Meow;
(d) circumvent integrity, signing or security mechanisms;
(e) remove copyright, trademark or ownership notices; or
(f) use Decision Cue or Meow branding to imply an official modified release, affiliation or endorsement.
Nothing in these Terms restricts rights that applicable law makes non-excludable, including permitted interoperability rights where applicable.
Third-party and open-source components are governed by their applicable licences. If an applicable third-party or open-source licence conflicts with these Terms concerning that component, the applicable component licence controls to the extent of the conflict.
No proprietary Meow licence grants rights in third-party code, codecs, patents, content or trademarks beyond rights Decision Cue is legally entitled to grant.
You receive no licence to Decision Cue or Meow trademarks except the limited right necessary to identify the unmodified official software in ordinary use.
9. FEEDBACK
You may voluntarily send feedback, ideas or suggestions to Decision Cue.
Unless we separately agree in writing that information is confidential, feedback is treated as non-confidential.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, by submitting feedback you grant the Operator a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify, develop, commercialize and otherwise use that feedback for any lawful purpose without payment or attribution.
You retain ownership of any original material you own.
Do not send feedback containing another person's confidential information, trade secrets, personal information or other material you are not authorized to disclose.
This feedback licence does not apply to unrelated browser history, system audio, screenshots, private files or other material you have not voluntarily submitted as feedback.
10. BETA FEATURES, SECURITY, UPDATES AND SUPPORT
A release, function or feature identified as “Beta,” “Preview,” “Experimental,” “Early Access” or similar is pre-release or experimental technology and may contain defects, incomplete functionality, compatibility problems or security issues.
Use experimental functionality only if you accept those additional risks.
Only install Meow from distribution channels identified by Decision Cue as official.
Modified, repackaged, unofficial or compromised copies may not behave as described in these Terms.
Meow may check for, download and install verified security, compatibility, reliability or feature updates through its disclosed update mechanism. The availability, timing and installation behaviour of updates may vary by release, configuration and distribution format, as described in the applicable release information. Acceptance of materially different Terms is still required where applicable; a software update cannot substitute for that acceptance.
Updates may modify, add, replace or discontinue functionality where reasonably necessary for security, compatibility, legal compliance, product development or continued operation.
Decision Cue may issue security warnings, cease distributing vulnerable or unsupported releases, or require an update for continued access to a Decision Cue-operated online service where reasonably necessary to address security, abuse, legal or compatibility risk.
Decision Cue does not promise uninterrupted operation, compatibility with every device or service, perpetual support, a particular maintenance period or a particular update release date except where a separate written agreement or mandatory law expressly provides otherwise.
Decision Cue may modify, suspend, discontinue or cease supporting Meow, any feature, service or version at any time to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups and supported operating-system and security updates.
11. SECURITY REPORTS
Security vulnerabilities reasonably believed to affect Meow may be reported to:
info@decisioncue.com
Provide only information reasonably necessary for investigation and do not include passwords, credentials, access tokens, unrelated personal information or data obtained without authorization.
Reporting a vulnerability does not authorize you to access another person's system or data, compromise availability, install malware, maintain persistence, exfiltrate information or test third-party systems.
Unless Decision Cue separately agrees in writing, submitting a security report does not create a bug-bounty, payment, employment, confidentiality or service-level obligation.
Nothing in these Terms prevents a disclosure protected by applicable whistleblower law or a lawful report to a regulator or law-enforcement authority.
12. WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MEOW, ITS FUNCTIONS, UPDATES AND RELATED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PROTECTED PARTIES DISCLAIM EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT A WARRANTY CANNOT LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE ABOVE, DECISION CUE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT MEOW WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, FREE FROM VULNERABILITIES OR MALWARE, COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY DEVICE OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, OR CAPABLE OF PREVENTING EVERY SCREEN CAPTURE, DISCLOSURE, RECORDING, DATA LOSS, PHISHING ATTACK, MALICIOUS DOWNLOAD OR OTHER SECURITY EVENT.
DESCRIPTIONS OF SYSTEM AUDIO INPUT, SCREEN PRIVACY, FLOATING MIRROR OR OTHER FUNCTIONS DESCRIBE THEIR INTENDED FUNCTION; THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF A PARTICULAR SECURITY, PRIVACY, CONFIDENTIALITY OR LEGAL RESULT.
MEOW DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL, MEDICAL, FINANCIAL, SECURITY, COMPLIANCE OR OTHER REGULATED PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.
Nothing in this Section excludes a guarantee, warranty, representation, duty or remedy that applicable law does not permit to be excluded.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROTECTED PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, COSTS OF RESTORING DATA, OR COSTS OF OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO MEOW OR THESE TERMS.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL PROTECTED PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO MEOW OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STATUTE, MISREPRESENTATION, RESTITUTION OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:
(a) US$200; and
(b) the amount you paid directly to the Operator specifically for Meow during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
This aggregate cap applies to your claims against all Protected Parties together. Multiple claims or legal theories based on the same event do not multiply that cap. It does not combine your cap with that of an unrelated user or limit a non-excludable remedy.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Protected Parties are not responsible for loss caused by your unlawful conduct, unauthorized modification, breach of these Terms, failure to install an available security update, use outside the licensed scope, or a Third-Party Service, except to the extent a Protected Party caused or legally bears responsibility for that loss.
Except to the extent expressly provided in a separate written business agreement, Decision Cue does not assume liability for loss of business profits, revenue, business opportunity, goodwill, anticipated savings or business interruption arising from Business or Organizational Use, including use of a Restricted Function with or without authorization, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by negligence where such liability cannot lawfully be limited;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c) wilful misconduct or gross negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits limitation;
(d) a statutory consumer guarantee, privacy right, product-liability obligation or other liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited; or
(e) any other non-excludable liability.
If applicable law does not permit a particular exclusion or limitation, that exclusion or limitation applies only to the maximum extent permitted by that law.
14. INDEMNITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS CAUSED BY YOUR CONDUCT
If you engage in Business or Organizational Use, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Protected Parties from third-party claims, demands, proceedings, judgments, damages, penalties and reasonable external legal costs arising out of or relating to:
(a) your unlawful use of Meow;
(b) content you record, transmit, publish or provide;
(c) infringement or misappropriation of a third party's intellectual-property, privacy, confidentiality or other rights by your conduct;
(d) unlawful recording, interception, surveillance or disclosure initiated by you;
(e) malware, unauthorized access, fraud or malicious activity initiated or knowingly facilitated by you;
(f) your material breach of these Terms; or
(g) your use of a Restricted Function for Business or Organizational Use without the authorization required by Section 2.
You may not settle a claim in a manner that admits wrongdoing by, imposes an obligation on, or restricts a Protected Party without that Protected Party's written consent.
The Protected Party may control its defense with counsel of its choice at reasonable cost where the indemnity applies, subject to applicable law.
The business indemnity above does not apply to a Consumer. Nothing requires you to indemnify a Protected Party for that Protected Party's own negligence, unlawful conduct, defective performance or responsibility that applicable law places on it. The indemnity covers only loss reasonably attributable to your conduct and legally recoverable from you; reasonable notice and cooperation must be provided, and no settlement may impose liability on you without your consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Nothing in this Section makes every problem the user's responsibility or relieves Decision Cue of a legal duty that applicable law independently places on it.
15. COPYRIGHT AND OTHER RIGHTS COMPLAINTS
Meow is a browser and Decision Cue generally does not control third-party websites merely because Meow can access them.
A copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights complaint concerning material hosted or controlled by an unrelated website should ordinarily be directed to that website, platform or hosting provider.
For material that Decision Cue itself hosts or controls, a rights complaint may be sent to:
info@decisioncue.com
A complaint should include sufficient information to identify:
(a) the work or right claimed to be infringed;
(b) the allegedly infringing material;
(c) where that material appears on a Decision Cue-controlled service;
(d) the complainant and appropriate contact information;
(e) the complainant's authority or ownership basis; and
(f) why removal or other action is requested.
Decision Cue may request additional information reasonably necessary to assess a complaint and may remove, restrict or preserve material where reasonably appropriate or legally required.
Submitting a false or materially misleading notice may create liability under applicable law.
Where the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act or another statutory notice-and-takedown regime applies to a particular service operated by Decision Cue, any additional statutory requirements, designated-agent information or counter-notice procedure required for that service will be provided separately.
The email address above, by itself, is not a representation that Decision Cue has completed any statutory agent registration.
16. EXPORT CONTROLS, SANCTIONS AND LEGAL AVAILABILITY
You must comply with export-control, import-control, sanctions, embargo and trade-restriction laws that lawfully apply to your acquisition, installation, transfer or use of Meow.
You must not download, export, re-export, transfer or use Meow where doing so is prohibited by applicable law.
You must not use Meow for an end use prohibited by applicable export or sanctions laws.
Availability of a download does not constitute a legal opinion or representation that acquisition or use is lawful in every jurisdiction.
Decision Cue may restrict distribution or access where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable export, sanctions or other legal requirements.
17. SUSPENSION, TERMINATION AND DISCONTINUATION
You may terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing use of Meow and uninstalling it.
Decision Cue may suspend or terminate a licence, authorization, access to a Decision Cue-operated service or other permission where the user materially breaches these Terms or where Decision Cue reasonably considers action necessary to address illegality, fraud, infringement, abuse, security risk, malware, unauthorized access or material harm.
Decision Cue may, but is not required to, provide notice or an opportunity to cure before termination except where required by applicable law.
Decision Cue may discontinue distribution, functionality or support to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
When the proprietary licence terminates, you must stop using the proprietary portions of Meow unless another applicable licence gives you a continuing right.
Termination does not affect rights or liabilities that accrued before termination.
Provisions concerning intellectual property, feedback, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, disputes, third-party rights and any other provisions that by their nature should survive will survive termination.
Third-party and open-source licences continue according to their own terms.
18. CHANGES TO MEOW AND THESE TERMS
Decision Cue may change Meow, including to improve security, compatibility, reliability, functionality or legal compliance.
Decision Cue may revise these Terms prospectively. Each published version will be identifiable by its effective date and version number.
Notice of revised Terms may be provided through the official website, installer, update interface or another reasonable product channel where permitted by applicable law.
Where applicable law or the nature of a material change requires renewed agreement, Decision Cue will provide an opportunity to review and accept the revised Terms. Revised Terms apply only following the notice or acceptance required by applicable law.
If you do not agree to revised Terms applicable to your continued use, discontinue use of the affected version.
19. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, subject to the Consumer protections below.
Consumers. If you are a Consumer, the choice of Hong Kong law does not deprive you of mandatory consumer, privacy or other statutory protections that applicable law gives you and does not permit you to waive.
Hong Kong courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction over a Consumer dispute. Nothing in these Terms prevents a Consumer from bringing proceedings before another court, tribunal, regulator, ombudsman or dispute-resolution body where applicable law gives the Consumer that right.
No mandatory pre-dispute arbitration, class-action waiver or contractual shortening of a statutory limitation period is imposed on Consumers by these Terms.
Non-Consumers. If you are not a Consumer, any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or Meow, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination of these Terms, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the arbitration is commenced.
The seat of arbitration will be Hong Kong.
The tribunal will consist of one arbitrator unless the applicable rules require otherwise or the parties agree otherwise.
The arbitration language will be English.
Nothing prevents either party from seeking urgent interim, protective or injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including to protect intellectual property, confidential information or systems, without waiving arbitration.
Before commencing ordinary proceedings, either party may send a concise written description of the dispute to the other and attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for 30 days. This informal process does not prevent urgent relief and does not extend or shorten a mandatory statutory limitation period unless the parties separately agree in writing.
20. ASSIGNMENT
You may not assign, sublicense or transfer these Terms or the proprietary Meow licence except where applicable law gives you a non-excludable right to do so.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator may assign these Terms or related rights and obligations to:
(a) an affiliate;
(b) a successor;
(c) a purchaser of all or substantially all of the Decision Cue or Meow business or relevant assets; or
(d) a legal entity formed to own, operate or continue the Decision Cue or Meow business.
An assignment does not eliminate mandatory Consumer rights.
Notice of an assignment will be provided where required by applicable law.
21. PROTECTED PARTIES AND THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS
The Protected Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of provisions that expressly protect them, including the warranty disclaimers, liability limitations and indemnity provisions, and may enforce those protections to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Except for Protected Parties to that limited extent, these Terms do not grant enforcement rights to any other third party unless applicable law requires otherwise.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and the Operator may vary, replace, terminate or rescind these Terms without obtaining the consent of a Protected Party.
No Protected Party may assign a third-party enforcement right separately from the business or relationship giving rise to that protection unless the Operator agrees or applicable law requires otherwise.
22. GENERAL TERMS
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or limits any right, remedy, duty or liability to the extent applicable law does not permit it to be excluded, restricted or limited.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any document expressly incorporated into them and any separate written authorization applicable to you, constitute the agreement concerning the proprietary Meow software on the subjects they address.
They do not eliminate legally binding representations or disclosures that applicable law treats as part of the agreement.
Order of precedence. Mandatory law prevails over a conflicting contractual term. Applicable third-party and open-source licences govern their respective components. A separate signed business agreement prevails concerning matters it expressly governs.
The Privacy Notice governs descriptions of Decision Cue's personal-data processing but does not expand your software licence or eliminate statutory privacy rights.
Severability. If a provision or part of a provision is invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, it will be limited or severed only to the extent necessary and permitted by applicable law. The remainder continues to the extent lawful.
No waiver. Failure or delay in enforcing a right does not waive that right. A waiver on one occasion does not constitute a continuing waiver.
No partnership or agency. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, employment, franchise or agency relationship between you and Decision Cue.
Force majeure. To the extent permitted by law, Decision Cue is not liable for delay or failure in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including widespread network failures, infrastructure outages, cyberattacks, acts of government, natural disasters, war, civil disturbance or failure of a Third-Party Service, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise.
No reliance on headings. Headings are for convenience and do not change the meaning of these Terms.
English language. If a translation or summary differs from the full English version, the English version controls only to the extent permitted by applicable law. Translations and summaries are provided for convenience. Mandatory local-language requirements, Consumer rights and non-waivable local interpretation rules remain applicable.
Electronic communications. Notices relating to Meow may be provided through the installer, browser interface, update interface, official website or another reasonable electronic channel where permitted by applicable law.
