End-User License Agreement
This agreement (the "EULA") describes what you may do with Souffleuse, and the few things you may not.
Last updated: 23 June 2026 · beta.
1. Parties and acceptance
This agreement is entered into between you (the "User") and the Publisher of Souffleuse (the "Licensor"), publisher of the Souffleuse brand and software (the "Software"). Information about the Licensor is set out in the legal notice. By installing or using the Software, you accept this agreement.
2. Scope of the licence
The Licensor grants you a perpetual, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable licence to install and use the Software on the Macs you own or control, for your own personal or professional needs. The licence covers the version for which it was acquired and its updates within that version.
3. Restrictions
Except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law, you agree not to:
- copy, redistribute, resell, rent, lend or share the Software or your licence;
- decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Software, except to the strict extent mandatorily permitted by law (for example for interoperability purposes) and after notifying us;
- modify, translate or create derivative works of the Software, other than third-party components governed by their own licences (see §6);
- remove or alter proprietary notices, trademarks or rights notices;
- circumvent any technical licensing or activation measures;
- use the Software for unlawful purposes or in violation of third-party rights.
4. On-device nature and privacy
The Software is designed to run entirely on your Mac: it does not create an account, does not send your text to a server, and contains no telemetry or analytics at runtime. The only possible network connections are the initial download of the models and the check for updates, as described in the privacy policy, which supplements this agreement. The data the Software remembers to adapt to your style stays on your Mac, in encrypted storage.
5. Intellectual property
The Software is licensed, not sold. The Licensor and its licensors retain all rights, title and interest in the Software, its code, design, trademarks and content. No right not expressly granted by this agreement is transferred to you.
6. Third-party open-source components
The Software includes third-party components distributed under open-source licences, whose use is governed by their respective licences, which prevail over this agreement for those components only. In particular:
- llama.cpp — inference engine, under the MIT licence.
- Sparkle — update framework for macOS, under an MIT-style licence.
- Language models in GGUF format (for example Gemma, Qwen) — provided under the licences of their respective publishers, which you accept by downloading and using those models.
A complete list of components and their licences is available on request at contact@souffleuse.app. Nothing in this agreement restricts your rights under those open-source licences.
7. Limited warranty
You benefit from the applicable mandatory statutory warranties. Beyond those, and to the extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "as is", without express or implied warranty. Text suggestions are generated automatically: they may be inaccurate, and it is up to you to review them before accepting.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Licensor's liability under this agreement is limited to the minimum permitted by applicable law, and does not cover indirect or consequential damages. The limitations do not apply in case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, nor where the law prohibits them.
9. Term and termination
This agreement remains in force as long as you use the Software. It terminates automatically if you breach any of its substantial provisions. On termination, you must stop using the Software and uninstall it. The provisions on intellectual property, warranty, liability and governing law survive termination.
10. Governing law
This agreement is governed by French law, without prejudice to more protective mandatory provisions applicable to the consumer. Where the Software is offered for a fee, the purchase of the licence is concluded with the Merchant of Record Lemon Squeezy; information about the Licensor is set out in the legal notice.
