Matchwell™ by The Picture Org (Lightroom Classic plug-in, standalone app and helper)
Software License (free 21-day trial, then a paid license key; modification not permitted)
Version 1.0, October 2026

Copyright (c) 2026 The Picture Org LLC (trade name "The Picture Org(anizer)"). All rights not expressly granted
below are reserved.

1. Definitions
   "Software" means the Lightroom Classic plug-in (the Lua files), the standalone app and the helper program (the
   Python files and page in the helper folder), the installers, logo, documentation and other files in this folder that are owned by The
   Picture Org LLC. It does not include the third-party software listed in NOTICE.txt (Python, ExifTool and, on
   Windows, the Perl that ExifTool runs with), which keeps its own license.
   "You" means the person or organization that installs or uses the Software.
   "License key" means the key The Picture Org LLC sends you when you buy a license (or gives you, for example as a
   beta tester), which you enter in the Software. "Major version" means the first number of the version (1 in 1.4.2).

2. Free trial
   You may install and use the Software free of charge for 21 days on each computer, with every feature, to decide
   whether it suits you. After the 21 days the Software reminds you for 7 more days and then stops merging new
   groups until a license key is entered (finding duplicates still works). Merges it has already made stay yours.

3. What a license gives you
   a. One license is for one person. That person may use the Software on up to 2 computers they use, for any lawful
      purpose, including in a commercial business that digitizes, restores or preserves media for its customers.
      An organization needs one license for each person who uses the Software.
   b. To move the Software to another computer, use "Remove license from this computer" (in Lightroom's Plug-in
      Manager, or the app's License window) on the old one, then enter the key on the new one.
   c. Updates within the same major version are complimentary (for example, a key bought for version 1 works for every 1.x
      release). A later major version may need a new or upgrade key.
   d. You may make backup copies, and use the options the Software is designed to offer. This is configuration, not
      modification.
   e. Keep and use, without restriction, every merge, sidecar, report, log and other result the Software produces for you,
      including in work you deliver to your customers.
   The license is paid for once and does not expire. Refunds follow the store's refund policy shown when you buy; a
   refunded order's key stops working in later versions.

4. What you may not do
   a. Modify, translate, adapt or create derivative works of the Software, including editing the scripts, except as
      allowed in 3(d).
   b. Sell, rent, lease, sublicense or charge for the Software itself, or include it in a product you sell.
   c. Share your license key with others, publish it, or use it on more computers or by more people than 3(a)
      allows.
   d. Get around, disable or tamper with the trial or the license key check, or make or use keys not issued by
      The Picture Org LLC.
   e. Distribute or publish copies of the Software, without written permission from The Picture Org LLC. (Others
      may download the free trial themselves from https://thepictureorg.com.)
   f. Remove or change the copyright notices, the logo or this license.
   Nothing in this license limits the rights the third-party licenses in NOTICE.txt give you for those components
   (for example, using ExifTool on its own under its license).

5. Updates and support
   The Picture Org LLC may release new versions, complimentary within the major version (3(c)), but has no obligation to
   provide updates, support or fixes.

6. 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. Photos that look alike
   are not always copies; check each group before merging. The Software changes only the metadata of the copy it
   keeps (or writes an .xmp sidecar file beside a camera raw file), never the pictures themselves; it moves the other
   copies to a holding folder (the app) or flags them in the catalog (Lightroom), deletes nothing, and keeps the old
   values so "Undo" can put everything back; keep your usual backups all the same.

7. Limitation of liability
   TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PICTURE ORG LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER
   LIABILITY, INCLUDING LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, MEDIA OR FILES, LOST PROFITS, OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
   CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR ITS USE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
   POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

8. Ending this license
   This license ends automatically if you break any of its terms. When it ends you must stop using the Software and
   delete your copies. Files the Software already produced for you remain yours.

9. Governing law
   This license is governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

10. Permissions and questions
    For permission to do anything this license does not allow, contact The Picture Org LLC through
