1. Introduction

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) governs your use of the PyLocket PyCharm Plugin (“Plugin”) developed and maintained by PyLocket. The Plugin is distributed through the JetBrains Marketplace.

By installing or using the Plugin, you agree to be bound by this EULA. Please read this agreement carefully before installing or using the Plugin.

This EULA supplements the PyLocket Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between this EULA and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service shall prevail for matters related to the PyLocket platform.

2. Definitions

The following terms, when capitalized in this EULA, shall have the meanings set forth below:

• “Plugin” means the PyLocket PyCharm Plugin, including all code, resources, documentation, and updates distributed through the JetBrains Marketplace or any other authorized channel.
• “IDE” means a JetBrains IntelliJ-based integrated development environment, primarily PyCharm, in which the Plugin is installed and operated.
• “PyLocket Service” means the PyLocket platform in its entirety, including the API, command-line interface (CLI), and Developer Portal.
• “Developer Portal” means the web-based interface accessible at pylocket.com for managing applications, builds, license keys, billing, and account settings.

• “We,” “Us,” or “PyLocket” means PyLocket, the company that develops and maintains the Plugin and the PyLocket Service.

3. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using the Plugin through the JetBrains Marketplace or any other means, you accept and agree to be bound by this EULA.

If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, you must not install or use the Plugin. You should uninstall the Plugin immediately if you have already installed it and do not agree to these terms.

If you are accepting this EULA on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to this EULA. In such case, “You” and “Your” shall refer to that entity.

4. License Grant

Subject to the terms of this EULA, PyLocket grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Plugin on any compatible JetBrains IDE.

The Plugin is licensed, not sold. No ownership rights are transferred to you under this EULA.

You may install the Plugin on multiple machines provided they are used by the same licensed PyLocket developer account.

Use of the Plugin requires an active PyLocket developer account and acceptance of the PyLocket Terms of Service.

5. Restrictions

Under this EULA, you may NOT:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from the Plugin.
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Plugin.
• Redistribute, sublicense, lease, rent, or loan the Plugin to third parties.
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on the Plugin.
• Use the Plugin to protect malicious software or for any unlawful purpose.
• Use the Plugin in a manner that violates the PyLocket Terms of Service or the JetBrains Marketplace Developer Agreement.

6. Account Requirements

The Plugin requires authentication with a valid PyLocket developer account. You must have an active account to use any Plugin functionality that communicates with the PyLocket Service.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including any authentication tokens stored by the Plugin on your local machine.

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account when using the Plugin, whether or not you have authorized such activities.

PyLocket reserves the right to suspend or terminate Plugin access if your account is suspended or terminated under the Terms of Service.

7. Plugin Functionality

The Plugin provides IDE integration for PyLocket’s protection pipeline. Core Plugin capabilities include:

• Build Initiation: Initiating protection builds directly from the IDE without switching to the CLI or Developer Portal.
• Configuration Management: Configuring application protection settings, including obfuscation level, target platforms, and licensing parameters.
• License Management: Managing license keys and viewing activation data for your protected applications.
• Build Monitoring: Viewing build status, logs, and downloading protected artifacts upon completion.
• Documentation Access: Accessing documentation, help resources, and links to the Developer Portal.

The Plugin communicates with PyLocket’s API servers to perform these functions. All communication is conducted over encrypted connections (TLS 1.2+).

Plugin functionality depends on the availability of the PyLocket Service. If the PyLocket Service is unavailable, Plugin features that require API communication will not function.

8. Data Handling

The Plugin handles several categories of data as described below:

Authentication Tokens

The Plugin stores authentication tokens locally on your machine in your IDE’s configuration directory. These tokens are used to authenticate API requests to PyLocket’s servers. Tokens are not transmitted to any third party.

Source Code

When you initiate a build, your source code is transmitted to PyLocket’s API servers via encrypted connection (TLS 1.2+). The source code is processed for protection and is never stored in plaintext on PyLocket’s servers. See the PyLocket Terms of Service, Section 12 (Source Code Handling) for full details.

Build Metadata

The Plugin transmits project configuration, build settings, and application metadata to PyLocket’s servers as part of the build process. This includes information such as the application name, target platforms, obfuscation level, and licensing configuration.

Telemetry

The Plugin may collect anonymized usage statistics (e.g., feature usage frequency, build times) to improve the Plugin experience. No source code, file paths, or personal content is included in telemetry data.

Local Storage

The Plugin may store configuration files, cached data, and preferences in the IDE’s standard plugin data directory.

9. JetBrains Marketplace Terms

The Plugin is distributed through the JetBrains Marketplace and is also subject to the JetBrains Marketplace Developer Agreement and any applicable JetBrains terms and conditions.

In the event of a conflict between this EULA and the JetBrains Marketplace terms, the JetBrains Marketplace terms shall prevail with respect to the distribution and licensing of plugins through the Marketplace.

PyLocket is not responsible for JetBrains Marketplace availability, policies, or infrastructure. Any issues related to the Marketplace itself should be directed to JetBrains.

10. Updates

The Plugin may receive updates through the JetBrains Marketplace update mechanism. Updates may include bug fixes, new features, security patches, or compatibility improvements.

By using the Plugin, you agree to receive updates unless you manually disable auto-updates in your IDE settings.

PyLocket reserves the right to require minimum Plugin versions for compatibility with the PyLocket Service. Older Plugin versions may cease to function if they become incompatible with the current PyLocket API.

11. Intellectual Property

The Plugin, including all code, design, documentation, and trademarks, is the exclusive property of PyLocket. This EULA does not transfer any ownership rights to you.

You acknowledge that the Plugin contains trade secrets and proprietary information of PyLocket. You agree not to disclose, disseminate, or make available any such proprietary information to third parties.

All rights not expressly granted under this EULA are reserved by PyLocket.

Feedback, suggestions, or improvement ideas you provide regarding the Plugin may be used by PyLocket without obligation to you. You hereby assign to PyLocket all right, title, and interest in any such feedback.

12. Third-Party Components

The Plugin may incorporate open-source software components and third-party libraries. Each such component is subject to its own license terms.

A list of third-party components and their licenses is available within the Plugin (typically in the “About” or “Licenses” section) or upon request to legal@pylocket.com.

Nothing in this EULA limits your rights under any applicable open-source license.

13. No Warranty

14. Limitation of Liability

15. Termination

You may terminate this EULA at any time by uninstalling the Plugin from your IDE.

PyLocket may terminate this EULA immediately if you breach any of its terms.

PyLocket may discontinue the Plugin at any time with thirty (30) days’ notice via email or the Developer Portal.

Upon termination of this EULA:

• Your right to use the Plugin ceases immediately, and you must uninstall all copies of the Plugin.
• Your rights to any previously downloaded Protected Artifacts are governed by the PyLocket Terms of Service.

The following sections survive termination of this EULA: Section 5 (Restrictions), Section 8 (Data Handling), Section 11 (Intellectual Property), Section 13 (No Warranty), Section 14 (Limitation of Liability), and Section 16 (General Provisions).
