1. About this EULA
This End User License Agreement ("EULA") is between Nova System Inc. ("Licensor", "we") and the Authorized User who installs or uses the Polaris desktop application or the Aurora mobile companion application (the "Apps"). The Apps form part of the Meridian platform; access requires a subscription held by your Firm under the Master Subscription Agreement. Aurora is provided only as a bundled companion to Polaris and is not licensed on a standalone basis.
2. Grant of license
Subject to compliance with this EULA, the MSA, and the Acceptable Use Policy, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license, during the Firm's Subscription Term, to install and use the Apps on devices that you own or control, solely for the Firm's internal business purposes.
3. Restrictions
You will not (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Apps, (b) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code, (c) rent, lease, lend, sell, distribute, sublicense, or transfer the Apps, (d) remove or obscure copyright, trademark, or attribution notices, (e) use the Apps for benchmarking or competitive analysis without our written consent, or (f) use the Apps in violation of law or the AUP. The Apps include security mechanisms; you must not interfere with them.
4. Updates
The Apps may automatically check for, download, and install updates. Updates may modify, add, or remove features and may include security fixes. Older versions may stop working when updates are released for security reasons. Where you disable automatic updates, you remain responsible for keeping the Apps current.
5. Network access and device requirements
The Apps require an internet connection to function. You are responsible for your own internet, mobile data, device, and operating system, and for any charges associated with their use. We may require minimum operating system versions; we will provide reasonable notice before raising the minimum.
6. Permissions on mobile devices
Aurora may request permission to access certain device capabilities, including:
- Notifications — to deliver case updates, mentions, and alerts.
- Camera — to capture documents and profile photos.
- Photo library — to attach images to cases and choose a profile photo.
- Microphone — to record voice notes where you initiate a recording.
- Speech recognition — to support dictation features where you enable them.
- Location — only where you initiate a feature that uses location (for example, geotagging notes).
- Face ID / Touch ID / biometric — to unlock the app where you enable biometric login.
- Calendar / Reminders / Contacts — where you connect those integrations.
- Motion / Bluetooth — where future features depend on those capabilities.
You may grant or revoke each permission in your device settings. Some features will not work without the relevant permission.
7. Data handled by the Apps
How we handle personal information processed through the Apps is described in the Privacy Policy and, where the Firm is the controller, the Data Processing Addendum. The Apps may cache certain data on the device for offline access; data cached on a device is removed when you sign out, when the App is uninstalled, or when an administrator triggers a remote wipe.
8. No third-party model training on your data
We do not use data submitted through the Apps to train any model that we or our third-party intelligence service providers operate, except where you give explicit opt-in consent or where data has been irreversibly de-identified and aggregated. See the Third-Party Intelligence Services Terms.
9. Open-source components
The Apps include open-source software. The applicable licenses are made available through the Apps' "About" or "Acknowledgements" screens, and where required we make source available for components governed by copyleft licenses. The open-source license terms apply to the relevant components notwithstanding any conflicting terms of this EULA.
10. Ownership
The Apps are licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Apps, including all underlying software, models we own, designs, trademarks, and documentation. You receive no rights other than those expressly granted in this EULA.
11. Suspension and termination
This EULA continues until terminated. We may suspend or terminate this EULA at any time for breach of the AUP, the MSA, or this EULA, or where the Firm's subscription ends. You may terminate this EULA by uninstalling the Apps. On termination, all rights granted under this EULA end and you must stop using the Apps. Sections that by their nature should survive will survive termination.
12. Apple-specific terms
If you obtained Aurora through the Apple App Store, the additional terms in the Apple Distributor Requirements apply, including provisions about (a) the limited Apple-style license, (b) the fact that Apple is not responsible for the App or support, (c) Apple's status as a third-party beneficiary, and (d) export and use restrictions.
13. Google Play and other distributors
If you obtained Aurora through Google Play or another distributor, the distributor's terms also apply to the extent required. To the extent the distributor's terms are more restrictive than this EULA, the more restrictive terms apply.
14. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The disclaimers and limitation-of-liability provisions in the MSA and the Terms of Service apply to this EULA. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Apps are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind.
15. Governing law and venue
This EULA is governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. The courts of British Columbia have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to the right of either party to seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent Apple's distribution rules require otherwise, those rules govern as to matters arising in connection with the App Store.
16. Changes
We may update this EULA from time to time. Material changes will be communicated in advance through the Apps or by email. Continued use of the Apps after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
