Aquarelle licence

Copyright 2026 Phorel. All rights reserved.
Contact: info@phorel.net, https://phorel.net

This licence covers the Aquarelle application: the executable, the game data embedded in it and the accompanying documentation (together "the software"). By installing, copying or running the software you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the software.

1. Licence to use
Phorel grants you a free, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and run the software on any number of devices you own or control, for private or internal use. This includes running it in public or at work, for example as a screen backdrop or in a waiting room, as long as the software itself is not sold or charged for.

2. Restrictions
Unless Phorel has given written permission, you may not:
- sell, rent, lease, sublicense or otherwise charge for the software, or include it in a product or service that is sold;
- redistribute the software or make it available for download, for example on a website, file-sharing service, app store or software bundle (link to phorel.net instead);
- modify, translate or adapt the software, or create derivative works from it;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or unpack the software or its embedded data, except where applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction;
- remove or alter copyright notices, credits or this licence.

3. Ownership
The software is licensed, not sold. Phorel keeps all rights, title and interest in it, including the code, shaders, designs, artwork and the name Aquarelle. Rights that are not expressly granted here are reserved.

4. Third-party components
The software is built on the Godot Engine and includes fonts and other components made by third parties. These remain under their own licences, which are listed in THIRD-PARTY.txt. Nothing in this licence limits the rights those licences give you over those components.

5. Privacy
The software does not collect personal data and does not connect to the internet. It saves its settings (graphics quality, population and time of day) in a file on your own device only.

6. No warranty
The software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Phorel does not warrant that the software will run without errors or interruption, or on any particular hardware.

7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Phorel is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including loss of data, hardware damage, loss of profits or business interruption, arising from the use of or inability to use the software, even if Phorel has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in this licence excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

8. Termination
This licence ends automatically if you break any of its terms. When it ends you must stop using the software and delete all copies. Sections 3, 6 and 7 continue to apply.

9. Changes
Phorel may publish new versions of the software under different terms. A version you received keeps the licence it was distributed with.
