Terms of Service

Effective date: February 15, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing the Seaquel website ("Website") or downloading, installing, or using the Seaquel software ("Software"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Website or Software.

These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you and Webstone Technologies Inc. ("Webstone", "we", "us", or "our"), a corporation incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.

2. Definitions

  • "Software" means the Seaquel database client application, including all updates and documentation.
  • "Website" means the Seaquel marketing website and any associated web services.
  • "License" means the right to use the Software under the applicable license terms.
  • "Commercial Use" means any use of the Software in connection with a business, commercial enterprise, or revenue-generating activity, including use by employees, contractors, or freelancers in the course of their work.

3. License Grant

The Software source code is released under the MIT License and is free to use for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may view, modify, and distribute the source code in accordance with the MIT License terms.

Commercial Use of the Software requires a valid commercial license purchased through the Website. Using the Software for Commercial Use without a valid license is a violation of these Terms.

4. Commercial License Terms

Commercial licenses are offered as annual subscriptions in two tiers:

  • Individual License — for a single person using the Software commercially. Permits activation on one device. Not transferable to another person.
  • Business License — for teams and organizations. Sold on a per-seat basis. Each seat permits activation on one device. Seats are transferable: you may deactivate a seat and reassign it to a different team member at no additional cost.

When a commercial license expires, you retain the right to use the version of the Software that was current at the time of expiration. You will no longer receive updates or new versions until you renew.

5. Payment and Billing

All payments are processed by our third-party payment provider, Dodo Payments. By making a purchase, you agree to Dodo Payments' terms of service. Webstone does not store your payment card details.

Commercial licenses are billed annually. Prices are listed on the Website and may change. Any price changes will take effect at your next renewal, not during a current subscription period.

All sales are final. Refunds are provided at our sole discretion and only in exceptional circumstances. Contact us if you believe a refund is warranted.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Circumvent, disable, or tamper with the license activation or validation mechanisms of the Software.
  • Share, distribute, or publish your license key for others to use.
  • Redistribute the Software as your own product or under a different name without clear attribution.
  • Use the Website or Software in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.

7. Intellectual Property

The Software source code is licensed under the MIT License. The Seaquel name, logo, branding, website content, and documentation are the property of Webstone Technologies Inc. and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

The MIT License applies to the Software source code only. It does not grant any rights to the Seaquel trademarks or branding.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Software and Website are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether expressed, implied, or statutory. We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Software will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components. You use the Software at your own risk.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Webstone Technologies Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or business opportunities arising out of or related to your use of the Software or Website.

Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the total amount you paid to us for the Software in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia, Canada.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Software or Website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
