Licence agreement

End user licence agreement (EULA) · version 1.0, 26 July 2026 · Deutsche Fassung

1Parties

The licensor is TriLine, Martin Stemplinger & Tobias Aufschläger, Ilztalstraße 5, 94116 Hutthurm, Germany (“we”). The licensee is you, the natural or legal person installing or using the software (“you”).

By installing or using the software you accept this agreement. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the software.

2Subject matter

Software under this agreement means the programs we provide — BrowserDesk Client, BrowserDesk Host, BrowserDesk Web Client and BrowserDesk Relay — including associated files, scripts and documentation as well as later updates, unless those are expressly subject to their own terms.

The software is delivered as an executable, not as source code. There is no claim to release of the source code.

3Scope of the licence

We grant you a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable right, limited to the term of the agreement, to use the software for your own purposes within the agreed scope. In particular you may:

• install it on any number of devices you own or administer;
• operate the relay on your own hardware or at a provider of your choice;
• make backup copies to the extent required for proper operation;
• let your staff and service providers acting for you use it — their acts count as yours.

If you provide IT services to third parties, you may use the software to support your customers. You remain responsible to us for compliance with this agreement.

4Limits

Without our prior consent in text form you may not:

• rent out, lend, sub-license or provide the software to third parties as a service of your own (no reselling as software as a service);
• remove or alter manufacturer details, copyright notices or licence information;
• modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software — statutory powers under sections 69d and 69e of the German Copyright Act remain unaffected;
• circumvent or disable technical protection or licence-checking mechanisms;
• publish performance data gathered without our involvement in a way that invites comparison with other products.

On permitted use the following also applies: remote access only to your own devices or with the consent of those entitled; no covert surveillance; no use for fraud. Details are in section 4 of the terms of use, which form part of this agreement in that respect.

5Tiers and concurrent connections

The scope follows the tier you booked. What counts are concurrent connections, not the number of devices: a connection is one remote session active at a given moment. The number of installed devices is unlimited in every tier.

If you permanently need more connections than your tier provides, move to a higher tier. Forcing additional connections technically — for instance through several relays or several accounts for the same purpose — is a breach of this agreement.

6Verification

On request you tell us in text form to what extent you use the software. We do not carry out remote technical checks of your systems and do not require access to your installations. If you run the relay yourself, the data arising there stays with you.

7Updates

We provide updates through our feed. Security flaws are fixed in the current version only; you are expected to keep the software up to date. There is no claim to particular future features.

Updates may change or remove individual features where legal or security reasons require it. We point out material changes in the release notes.

8Third-party components

The software contains third-party components, some under free licences. For the component concerned its licence terms take precedence over this agreement; they may grant you broader rights. We provide an overview of components and their licences on request (info@browserdesk.de).

9Ownership

The software is protected by copyright. All rights in it, in its documentation and in marks such as “BrowserDesk” remain with us or our licensors. This agreement does not sell the software; it grants a right of use.

10Defects

Where the software is provided for a fee, we are liable for defects under statutory provisions. What matters is the agreed quality and otherwise its fitness for the contractually assumed use. We do not owe software free of all faults, but the remedy of material defects within a reasonable period — usually by providing a corrected version.

Where the software is provided free of charge (such as the Starter tier or an evaluation), section 523 of the German Civil Code applies: we are liable only for defects fraudulently concealed.

Claims for defects are excluded where a fault results from a change you made, from operation outside the documented requirements, or from third-party software.

11Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body and health, under the German Product Liability Act and to the extent of any guarantee given.

In the case of slight negligence we are liable only for breach of a duty whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may rely; liability is then limited to the foreseeable damage typical of this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded.

For loss of data we are liable only to the extent that the loss would also have occurred had you made proper, regular backups. Where the software is provided free of charge, section 521 of the German Civil Code applies in addition.

Special note on the field of use: the software is not intended for operation in environments where a failure may lead to personal injury, severe environmental damage or comparable consequences (such as controlling medical devices, traffic systems or power plants). We accept no liability for such use.

12Term and end

The licence lasts for the term of the underlying agreement. It ends automatically when that agreement ends, and upon a material breach of section 4 or 5 after we have asked you to remedy it without success. You then stop using the software and delete the program files; you may keep backup copies where retention duties require it.

13Export control

The software is subject to European Union export law and possibly that of other states. You undertake not to make the software available in territories or to persons where applicable sanctions or export rules prohibit it.

14Final provisions

Changes to this agreement require text form. German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the licensee is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Passau, Germany. Should any provision be invalid, the remainder stays in force and the statutory rule takes its place.

For consumers, mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.
