End User License Agreement
Last updated February 23, 2026
This End User License Agreement ("License") contains provisions that apply to your access to and use of our software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, browser-based or web-hosted applications, any mobile application we make available for iOS or other mobile operating systems, and all downloadable and/or installable software (collectively, the "Software") published by Cast & Crew Production Software, LLC dba Final Draft ("Final Draft", "we", "us" or "our"), except for any software or applications you download through an interface that includes a different end user license agreement.
Final Draft’s Terms of Service ("Terms"), which can be found at https://www.finaldraft.com/company/legal/terms-of-service, form an integral part of this License. For purposes of this License, references in the Terms to "Services" shall be deemed references to the Software (including any web-hosted, mobile application, or SaaS offering), and this License applies whether the Software is (a) installed on a device, (b) accessed or used over the internet through a browser or similar interface, or (c) used in any hybrid manner.
By accessing, visiting, registering for, downloading, installing, copying or using the Software (including through a website, mobile application, or web application), you agree to accept and to be bound by (1) this License and (2) the Terms at all times. If you do not agree with either of these, please do not access, visit, register for, download, install, copy or use the Software.
Final Draft reserves the right to change, modify, add, or delete provisions in this License at any time, as more particularly described in the Terms.
YOUR LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE
You may use the Software strictly in accordance with this License, including the Terms incorporated herein. We reserve the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, to update, modify, replace, suspend, discontinue, or otherwise change the Software (including any features, functions, user interface, integrations, or availability) from our systems, including for Software accessed over the web and mobile application.
To the extent you download or install any portion of the Software (including desktop clients, installers, plug-ins, companion applications, or other components) ("Installed Software"), you may copy the installer files of the Installed Software solely for backup purposes where backup is limited to archiving for restoration purposes. You must not delete the copyright notices on the backup copy.
Final Draft grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, personal, limited license, revocable at any time at our sole discretion, to: access and use the Software over the internet (including through a web browser, mobile application, or other online interface) ("Web & Mobile Software"), and/or download, install, and use Installed Software on your computer and other permitted devices, in each case in accordance with the type of license you have purchased or otherwise legally obtained and subject to any limitations described in the applicable order form, invoice, or similar document. Different licenses have different restrictions on the number of permitted simultaneous users, the number of devices or installations allowed, and/or the scope of permitted access to Web & Mobile Software.
Updates, upgrades, patches, and modifications may be necessary in order to be able to continue to use the Software on certain hardware, operating systems, browsers, or environments, and we may require you to adopt updated versions of the Installed Software or supported browsers/devices to continue using the Software. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED TO YOU, NOT SOLD.
Except for the rights explicitly granted in this License, Final Draft retains all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in the Software and user documentation, including (as applicable) the copies of the Software on your devices and the Software made available to you over the web and mobile applications.

INFRINGEMENT

ACCESS TO SOFTWARE
The Software may be protected by license management, authentication, access control, or digital rights management technologies, including license keys, activation codes, account login requirements, session tokens, or similar mechanisms (collectively, "License Management").
