SPRINGS EXPERT — END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT Minos Expert family license, edition 2026.1 — 10 November 2026 IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY. This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is between you and the Publisher named in section 1. By installing or using Springs Expert (the "Software") you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the Software. 1. PUBLISHER The Software is published by MİNOS MAKİNA OTOMASYON SANAYİ VE TİCARET ANONİM ŞİRKETİ (Minos Makina Otomasyon San. Tic. A.Ş.), a joint-stock company incorporated in Türkiye (the "Publisher"). Its registered address and registration details are published at https://www.springsexpert.com/legal. Purchases made on the website of the Software are processed by an authorized reseller acting as merchant of record, which is named on the checkout page and on your invoice; that reseller's terms of sale apply to the payment. Direct purchases by bank transfer are made from the Publisher and are available to companies only. 2. DEFINITIONS "License key": the key that activates the Software. Each license key is for one seat. "Seat": one machine on which SOLIDWORKS runs. A persistent virtual machine counts as one machine. Virtual desktop pools in which the machine changes between sessions are not supported, and one seat cannot be used by several sessions on the same machine at the same time. "Order": one purchase transaction (an online checkout, an invoice paid by bank transfer, or an accepted quotation). "Update period": the period during which your license receives updates, as described in section 6. 3. LICENSE The Software is licensed, not sold. Subject to payment of the applicable fee, the Publisher grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive license to install and use the Software on one seat per license key, for your own or your organization's commercial and non-commercial work. It calculates springs and creates spring models and drawings in SOLIDWORKS. You may move a seat to another machine by deactivating it in the Software first. The Software is an add-in for SOLIDWORKS. You need your own valid SOLIDWORKS license; this Agreement does not grant one. 4. EVALUATION WITHOUT A LICENSE KEY If no license key is activated on your computer, you may use the Software in evaluation mode. Evaluation mode has the features of the Software's highest edition (Pro, where Basic and Pro editions exist) and has no time limit, but it produces at most five (5) outputs. What counts as one output is stated in the product documentation. After the fifth output you may continue to use the Software, but it produces no further outputs until a license key is activated. The Software does not change or disable outputs already produced. You may not reset the evaluation count or extend the evaluation limit. The evaluation count is kept on your computer, and the Software does not send it anywhere. 5. EDITIONS Where the Software is offered in Basic and Pro editions, Pro adds the features described for it on the website of the Software, including automated processing. You may upgrade a Basic license to Pro; the price is shown in your account on the website of the Software. Where the Software is offered in a single edition and Basic and Pro editions are introduced later, every license whose update period is running on that day becomes a Pro license at no charge. 6. UPDATES Your license includes updates to the Software for one (1) year from the date of purchase (the "update period"). After the update period you may buy an optional yearly update plan, which extends the update period by one year at a time. During the update period you receive every update that is released, including updates for compatibility with new SOLIDWORKS versions and a new major version of the Software. Your license is perpetual: when the update period ends, you may continue to use every version released before it ended, without time limit. Versions released after your update period has ended are not covered by your license and do not run as licensed under it. A yearly update plan is renewed only when you buy it; it is never charged automatically. It can be bought from thirty (30) days before your update period ends, one year at a time. If your update period has ended and a new major version has been released since, the new major version is offered at its upgrade price, which includes one year of updates; a yearly update plan is not offered in that case. If the Publisher stops providing updates for the Software (for example because the product is discontinued, compatibility with a new SOLIDWORKS version cannot be achieved, or a legal obstacle arises), the Publisher will, where possible, announce it at least ninety (90) days in advance and stop selling new licenses and update plans on the day of the announcement. Your license stays valid, and the Publisher will provide a final version or license file that keeps working without contacting the license server. Update plan years that have been paid but have not started are refunded at the price paid, and the unused months of a running plan year are refunded pro rata. The license fee itself is not refunded. The Software may check for updates over the internet and notify you when a newer version is available. 7. ACTIVATION AND LICENSE VALIDATION Activating a license key connects the Software to the Publisher's license server. The Software contacts the license server from time to time to validate the license. A temporary loss of connection does not by itself deactivate a valid license. Where the Software offers offline activation, you may activate it by exchanging a request file instead. A license key whose purchase has been refunded, or that is the subject of a payment dispute, may be suspended as described in section 9. 8. RESTRICTIONS You may not: - resell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense or redistribute the Software or a license key, except as allowed in section 10; - reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction; - circumvent, disable or interfere with the license check or the evaluation count; - remove or alter any copyright, trademark or license notice. 9. REFUNDS You may request a refund within fourteen (14) days of a purchase by writing to the support address of the Software. This applies to licenses, edition upgrades, new-version upgrades and update-plan renewals. A refund reverses only the purchase that is refunded: refunding an upgrade or a renewal returns your license to its state before that purchase. For an order with more than one license key, a refund applies to the whole order. A refunded license key, or the right added by a refunded purchase, can no longer be used. If a license is refunded, every upgrade and renewal bought for it within its refund period is refunded with it. If an update plan is refunded, anything the license received only because that plan was running (for example a new major version) is withdrawn as well. A payment dispute (chargeback) is treated as a refund request: the license key concerned is suspended while the dispute is open and is restored if the dispute is decided in your favor. A second refund request for the same product may be refused. Nothing in this section limits rights you have under the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence. 10. TRANSFER Each license key is for one seat. The license keys bought in one order belong to the purchaser named in that order. You may not resell, sublicense or otherwise transfer a license key to a third party without the prior written consent of Minos Makina Otomasyon San. Tic. A.Ş. Consent is given for a transfer that results from a merger, demerger or sale of the business, on written request with supporting documents, after the refund period of the key has ended, for whole license keys only and free of charge. A transferred key keeps its license, its update period and its purchase date. 11. SEPARATE PRODUCTS Each product of the Minos Expert family is licensed separately. Licenses, upgrades, refunds, credits and discounts of one product cannot be transferred to or combined with another product. 12. DATA The Software runs locally on your computer. Your CAD models, drawings and the files the Software produces are not transmitted anywhere by the Software. Activation and license validation send the license key, a machine identifier derived from your hardware, and the product name and version to the license server. The update check requests the current version information from the website of the Software. The evaluation count is not sent (section 4). Your account on the website of the Software, your orders and your e-mail address are processed as described in the Privacy Policy at https://www.springsexpert.com/legal. 13. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESULTS The Software assists engineering and manufacturing work. Its results (models, drawings, calculations, files and figures) are proposals and must be checked by you before they are used. You remain solely responsible for: - verifying spring rates, stresses, fatigue life and buckling against the applicable standards and your actual material and load cycle; - verifying the manufacturability of every spring with its maker; - every decision you take on the basis of the results. 14. NO WARRANTY THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. 15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Publisher shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, nor for loss of profit, loss of data or material, machine downtime, scrapped parts or delivery delays, arising out of the use of or inability to use the Software. In every case, the total liability of the Publisher is limited to the amount actually paid by you for the license concerned during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. 16. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS AND TRADEMARKS The Software may include third-party components under their own licenses. Their copyright notices and license texts are provided in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt in the installation folder. Each such component is licensed to you under its own license, and nothing in this Agreement limits the rights that those licenses grant for that component. SOLIDWORKS is a registered trademark of Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation. Springs Expert is an independent product and is not affiliated with Dassault Systèmes. Dassault Systèmes is not a party to this Agreement and has no obligation or liability to you under it. 17. TERM AND TERMINATION This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. On termination you must uninstall the Software and destroy all copies of it. 18. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT The Publisher may publish new editions of this Agreement. A new edition applies to versions of the Software released after it and does not reduce the rights of a license already purchased. 19. GOVERNING LAW AND LANGUAGE This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The courts of İzmir shall have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence. This Agreement is written in English. Translations are provided for convenience; the English text prevails. CONTACT Support: support@springsexpert.com Web: https://www.springsexpert.com Publisher: https://www.springsexpert.com/legal
