Draft, pending legal review. This text is not a binding license agreement or offer yet. Items in square brackets are to be filled in by the owner or a lawyer.
Version of [date]. Rights holder: [legal name and registration]. Contact: [e-mail].
1. What this agreement covers
This is an agreement between you and the rights holder for the use of the Live Bridge beta: the “Live Bridge for Figma Design” plugin, the Windows companion app, the panels for Adobe After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop and the CorelDRAW docker (together, the “Software”). By installing or running the Software you accept this agreement. Its text ships with the Software (the LICENSE.txt file at the root of the .zxp package) and is published on the “Beta license” page of the Live Bridge site. [For the lawyer: the Adobe extension installer neither shows the agreement nor asks for consent — is this acceptance sufficient, or is a consent prompt in the panel on first open needed? The package currently carries the English text.] If you do not agree, do not install the Software and remove it.
2. Beta
- The Software is a beta. It is distributed free of charge for the duration of the beta.
- Some transfer directions are not verified in the real apps and are marked on the site as “built, live run pending” or “coming soon”. Cinema 4D support and receiving layouts in Figma are not guaranteed in the beta.
- A transfer between editors may be incomplete: some objects and effects are baked into an image or not transferred. The Software reports such cases in the transfer report, but does not promise that the report is complete.
- Keep copies of important files before working with them.
- The beta may end at any time. After the beta the Software will be distributed under a separate paid license (one-time purchase); terms will be published in advance. [Whether the beta keeps working after the beta ends — owner to decide.]
3. License
- The rights holder grants you a non-exclusive, free of charge, non-transferable license to use the Software on your computers for personal and commercial work for the duration of the beta.
- You may not sell, rent or redistribute the Software (other than linking to the official download page), remove rights notices, or decompile or modify the Software except where the law expressly allows it.
- All rights not granted by this agreement remain with the rights holder.
- The layouts and files you transfer remain yours. The rights holder does not receive them (see section 5).
4. Third-party products
- The Software requires your own licenses for Figma, Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop and CorelDRAW. The Software is not affiliated with or endorsed by their owners. The names are trademarks of their owners.
- The companion embeds the Node.js runtime; its license and the licenses of other third-party components are listed in the notices file shipped with the Software. [Before release: THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt currently holds the Node.js MIT text and a link to the full LICENSE; the full LICENSE of the bundled Node.js version (with the V8, OpenSSL, ICU and libuv licenses) must be included before release — A10.]
- Updates to third-party apps may break the Software.
5. Data
- The Software works locally: layouts travel between apps on your computer through the local address (
localhost) and are not sent to the rights holder or third parties. - The Software collects no telemetry. It contacts the rights holder’s license server to count free transfers and to verify license keys, and the app checks the same server for updates; layouts, files and their contents are never sent. See the Privacy policy.
- See the Privacy policy for details.
6. What the Software changes on your computer
The Software is installed as one Adobe extension package (.zxp) with an extension installer (Creative Cloud or a third-party ZXP installer). The package holds the Live Bridge panel for After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop, the companion, the official Node.js and the Figma plugin files.
During setup and operation the Software:
- puts the Live Bridge panel into the Adobe extensions folder, wherever the extension installer places it; that installer installs and removes the panel;
- the first time the panel is opened, copies Node.js from the package to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\LiveBridge\runtime\<version>\, checks its checksum, clears its “downloaded from the internet” mark and starts the companion without a window; - puts the Figma plugin files and the install record (
install.json) into%LOCALAPPDATA%\LiveBridge; - if the Software was installed earlier from the archive with
install.cmd, removes that installation’s start at Windows sign-in (the current userRunkey, HKCU) and the old companion copyfb_daemon.exe; - builds and registers the CorelDRAW docker in
%USERPROFILE%\LiveBridge\corelwhile CorelDRAW is running; - listens on local ports 3131–3136 (
localhostonly); - writes transfer results to the
%USERPROFILE%\LiveBridgefolder, one subfolder per app (After Effects,Illustrator,Photoshop,CorelDRAW,Figma,Cinema 4D); a subfolder is created when it is first needed — with the first transfer into that app or when its Live Bridge panel is opened; if the Desktop already has result folders from an earlier installation (ae_bridge,ai_bridge,ps_bridge,cdr_bridge,figma_bridge,c4d_bridge), results keep going there; if you chose your own folder, they go there; - keeps settings and a work log in
%APPDATA%\LiveBridge.
The Software does not ask for administrator rights, does not add a start at Windows sign-in (the companion starts when you open the Live Bridge panel, or with the Start companion button in the CorelDRAW docker) and does not write the PlayerDebugMode registry key.
Uninstalling takes two steps. First, in the Live Bridge panel: Diagnostics → Uninstall Live Bridge… → Remove — the panel stops the companion and removes the Node.js copy, the Figma plugin folder, the CorelDRAW docker builds, the install records and, if one is left from an earlier installation, the start at Windows sign-in. Then the user removes the extension itself with the installer they used. What stays: the results folder %USERPROFILE%\LiveBridge (your files; only the CorelDRAW docker builds — the corel subfolder — are removed from it), for earlier installations also the result folders on the Desktop, settings and the log in %APPDATA%\LiveBridge, a small file %LOCALAPPDATA%\LiveBridge\uninstalled.json (it keeps open panels from starting the companion again and goes away once the Software is installed again and the panel is opened), the plugin in Figma and the docker tab in the CorelDRAW workspace — you remove those yourself. [Check this list against the release check on a second, clean machine — not run as of Oct 9. The folder where the installer puts the panel is not measured, so it is not named.]
7. No warranty
The Software is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, error-free operation and completeness of transfers. [Check consumer-law applicability.]
8. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the rights holder is not liable for damages, loss of data or files, lost profits or other harm arising from the use of or inability to use the Software. [Lawyer: liability cap, applicability to a free license.]
9. Termination
This agreement applies while you use the Software. It terminates if you breach its terms; you must then remove the Software.
10. Governing law and disputes
[Governing law and dispute resolution — to be filled in by a lawyer.]
11. Changes
The rights holder may change this agreement; a new version is published on the site with its date. [Notification procedure — to be specified.]
