Licensing
Wireless Toolbox — End User License Agreement
This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“you”) and
Nuts About Nets, LLC (“Nuts About Nets,” “we,” “us”) for the Wireless Toolbox measurement
appliance (the “Device”) and the diagnostic software preinstalled on it (the “Software”). The Software includes
all preinstalled tools, updates, and accompanying documentation.
By activating, accessing, or otherwise using the Software or the Device, you agree to be bound by this
Agreement. If you do not agree, do not activate or use the Device, and you may return it in accordance with
the return policy of the seller from whom you purchased it.
1. Grant of License
Nuts About Nets grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software solely on the single Wireless Toolbox Device on which it is preinstalled, for your internal diagnostic purposes. The Software is licensed to you free of charge, not sold; the Device is sold separately. One license is granted per Device and is tied to that Device.
2. Other Rights and Limitations
You may not: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation; (b) copy, redistribute, sublicense, rent, lease, or resell the Software separately from the Device; (c) remove or alter any proprietary notices; or (d) circumvent, disable, or tamper with the Software’s license-activation, device-identity, or validation mechanisms (see §4).
Authorized use only. You will use the tools only on wireless networks, devices, and radio-frequency environments that you own or are expressly authorized to test, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including those governing radio transmission/spectrum use and authorized access to computer networks. You are solely responsible for obtaining any required authorization before testing.
3. Intellectual Property
All title, ownership rights, and intellectual property in and to the Software (and any copies) are and remain the property of Nuts About Nets. This Agreement grants you no rights in the Software other than the limited license expressly stated. Certain measurement methods may be covered by one or more patents.
4. License Activation and Connectivity
The Software requires a valid license (provided at no charge) and one-time activation, and is bound to the Device’s hardware serial number, which serves as its license key. To activate, and periodically thereafter, the Software communicates over the internet with servers operated by or for Nuts About Nets to confirm that the license and Device are valid. An internet connection is required for activation and for periodic validation. If validation cannot be completed, some or all functionality may be unavailable.
5. Data, Privacy, and Logging
- Local by default. Your diagnostic measurements (such as scans, spectra, and channel logs) are processed and stored on the Device. They are not transmitted to Nuts About Nets except as described in this Section.
- Licensing information. To activate and validate the license, the Device transmits its hardware serial number (which serves as its license key) to our servers, and you provide an email address at registration. We use this to issue and validate licenses and to support you. We do not sell this information.
- Remote Monitoring (optional, off by default). If you enable Remote Monitoring, the Device periodically uploads a compact snapshot of its current measurements to our cloud so that you can view your site’s status remotely through an authenticated web page. This feature is under your control and is disabled unless you turn it on; disabling it stops the uploads.
- Retention. Local logs are bounded and are overwritten automatically as storage capacity is reached. Remote Monitoring snapshots are overwritten in place (we retain only the latest per Device).
- Your data. You retain ownership of the measurement data you capture.
6. Updates
Nuts About Nets may make updates to the Software available. Updates are governed by this Agreement unless accompanied by separate terms.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SOFTWARE AND DEVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NUTS ABOUT NETS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Measurement results are estimates provided for informational purposes; you are responsible for verifying them. The Software and Device are not designed or certified for life-critical, safety-critical, or mission-critical use, and you agree not to use them for such purposes.
8. Limited Support
Nuts About Nets has no obligation to provide maintenance or technical support under this Agreement. Any support that is provided is offered on an as-available basis.
9. Exclusion of Incidental, Consequential, and Certain Other Damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL NUTS ABOUT NETS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, NETWORK OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR HARDWARE FAILURE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR DEVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
10. Limitation of Liability and Remedies
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF NUTS ABOUT NETS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE DEVICE. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of §§7–10 may not apply to you.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nuts About Nets from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your misuse of the Software or Device, your testing of networks or radio environments without proper authorization, or your breach of this Agreement.
12. Export
You will comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations in your use of the Software and Device.
13. Term and Termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. Upon termination, you must stop using the Software, and the license may be deactivated. Sections 3 and 7–14 survive termination.
14. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
15. Entire Agreement; Changes
This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Nuts About Nets regarding the Software and supersedes any prior understandings. We may update this Agreement for future versions of the Software; the version you accept at activation governs your use of that version.
