Software licence terms

These are the terms on which Dynamo LED Displays Ltd (company number 08640007, “Dynamo”, “we”) licenses the Dynamo Ticker software (“the software”) to you. By installing or paying for the software you accept them. They are written to be read.

Last updated: [date of publication].

1. What you are buying

A licence to run the software on one display PC at one site for the period you have paid for, normally one year from the day the licence is issued. The software itself stays ours; the licence is your right to use it.

“One site” means one display PC driving one ticker, however long the ticker is and however many rows it folds across. A second PC or a second site needs a second licence.

2. Free download

You may download and install the software without paying. Until a licence file is imported, the control window works and the ticker output shows a black band with a short notice. That is not a fault; it is how the trial works.

3. How the licence runs

  • We issue a licence file for the device code shown in your status window. You import it; the band lights.
  • The software then checks in with our licensing service over outbound HTTPS and renews its licence for the next seven days. It needs internet access for that check-in; if the connection is lost it keeps running until the current seven days end.
  • A notice scrolls on the band 48 hours before a licence would lapse.
  • If the subscription ends or a renewal fails for seven days, the ticker output goes dark with a notice. The software does not close and your settings are kept. Renewing lights it again.
  • A licence is tied to the PC it was issued for. If you replace the PC, ask us for a licence file for the new device code; the subscription carries over.

4. Add-ons

Weather scenes, AI backgrounds and remote control are optional add-ons bought for a licence. Weather and remote control run for a year from purchase. AI backgrounds are sold as a block of generations that do not expire and are used only when you generate. Add-on prices are on the pricing page and exclude VAT.

5. Updates

We release updates signed by Dynamo. The software downloads them in the background and installs them in the window set on the PC, or when you press Install now, or not at all if you choose manual. If an update fails to start, the previous version is restored automatically. Updates may add, change or remove features; we publish release notes.

6. Third-party data

Market prices, charts, logos and news come from third-party feeds the software reads on your behalf: a public market-data feed and the RSS feeds you configure. We do not control those sources. Prices may be delayed by the exchange or the feed, may be wrong, and may stop. The software is a display, not a trading tool; do not make investment decisions on what it shows. Weather data by Open-Meteo.com. You are responsible for your right to display the feeds and content you choose, and for what you publish on your display.

7. AI backgrounds

Descriptions you type are sent to our image provider to make pictures. Do not type personal data or content that is unlawful or offensive; we may refuse descriptions and we may revoke the add-on for misuse. Generated pictures may be used on your display and in your own materials. We make no promise that a generated picture is free of third-party rights; you check before using one outside the display.

8. Remote control

The remote control add-on lets phones and browsers you pair control the display. You are responsible for who you pair and invite, and for removing phones that should no longer have access. Pairing and network settings can only be changed at the PC.

9. What we promise

That the software will do what the features page and the operator guide say it does, in all material respects, for the licence period, and that we will fix faults that stop it doing so within a reasonable time. If we cannot, you may end the licence and we will refund the unused part of the period.

10. What we do not promise

Everything else. The software is provided for use on a display. We do not promise it is error-free or uninterrupted, that third-party feeds will be available or accurate, or that it is fit for any purpose other than driving a ticker display. We are not liable for loss of profit, business, data or goodwill, or for any indirect loss. Our total liability under a licence is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or anything else the law does not allow us to limit.

11. Your obligations

Use the software on one site per licence. Do not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or resell it, or remove its licensing. Keep your licence file and device code private. Comply with the law in what you display.

12. Ending the licence

You can stop at any time; the licence runs to the end of the period paid for. We may end a licence for serious breach of these terms with notice, refunding the unused part unless the breach is deliberate misuse. Refunds otherwise follow the refund policy.

13. Privacy

What the software and the licensing service hold about you and why is in the privacy notice. → Privacy

14. General

These terms are governed by English law and the courts of England and Wales. They are the whole agreement for the software; a hardware quotation you accept has its own terms. We may update these terms for new versions of the software; the version in force when you pay is the one that applies to that period.
