End User Licence Agreement (EULA)
Version: eula-2026-07-18 · Effective: 18 July 2026 · English translation
Language and law: This English version is a translation of the German-language Austrian contract document. Selecting English does not change the applicable law. The German version is authoritative in the event of a discrepancy, to the extent permitted by mandatory law.
1. Provider and scope
This EULA governs use of the Skald software between NEWAYS Management und Beratungs GmbH, Reiherweg 14, Priel, 9431 Wolfsberg, Austria (“NEWAYS”), and the person who installs or uses Skald (“user”). It supplements the contract terms agreed for the relevant purchase or business licence.
2. Licence
For the duration and within the scope of the validly purchased or assigned Skald package, NEWAYS grants the user a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use Skald for its intended purpose. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.
- Skald Desktop: use by one person on up to two Windows devices.
- Skald Plus: use by one person on one Windows and one Android device during the contract term.
- Business BYO: one Windows device per validly assigned user.
- Business EU: one Windows and one Android device per validly assigned user.
If this general description conflicts with the specific licence and device entitlement shown in the Skald account, the specific entitlement prevails.
3. Permitted use
Skald may be used for the user’s own lawful purposes and under a valid business assignment. Circumventing licence, device, quota or security controls, sharing personal credentials, unlawfully processing recordings of others, or using Skald to infringe third-party rights is prohibited.
Reverse engineering, decompilation and modification are permitted only where mandatory law expressly allows them. Mandatory backup and interoperability rights remain unaffected.
4. Recordings and third-party rights
The user is responsible for ensuring that recording, transcription, translation, disclosure and other processing of audio and text are lawful. Required consents, notices and internal approvals must be obtained. Skald must not be used for covert or otherwise unlawful recordings.
5. Processing routes
- Local: processing on the end device.
- BYO Azure: processing through Azure configuration supplied by the user or their organisation. The customer is responsible for the contract, region, costs, permissions and configuration of that Azure account.
- Skald EU: server-side processing within the purchased package and stated quotas.
Access keys and other secrets must not be disclosed to unauthorised persons.
6. Updates and technical requirements
Skald Desktop includes twelve months of feature updates from purchase; the last version provided during that period remains usable under the purchased perpetual licence. Subscriptions receive updates during their active term. Security, compatibility or legally required changes may require an update. Supported systems, hardware and third-party endpoints are stated in the current product documentation.
7. Availability and changes
Local functions may work without internet access. Sign-in, licence checks, updates, Skald EU, email and third-party services depend on network and provider availability. NEWAYS may change functions for security, legal or compatibility reasons provided the contractual purpose and mandatory consumer rights are preserved.
8. Warranty and liability
Statutory warranty rights and the supplementary provisions of the applicable Terms and Conditions apply. Liability is not limited where mandatory law prohibits a limitation, particularly for intent, gross negligence or personal injury.
9. End of entitlement
Entitlement ends upon expiry, termination, withdrawal, refund or valid suspension of the underlying contract, or when a business assignment is revoked. Perpetual licences continue subject to valid termination and this EULA. Installations and credentials no longer permitted must be removed.
10. Governing law and contact
Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of mandatory protection under the law of their habitual residence.
