Version: 22 October 2026 — EULA v1.2, applies from howto-pad 3.5.0

This is an English translation for information. The German version at /howto-pad/eula/ is legally binding.

1. Subject matter

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") governs the use of howto-pad ("the Software"), a single HTML file that turns an AI chat answer into an interactive step-by-step guide. By opening or using the Software you accept this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.

The Software, including its program code, its design and the built-in prompts, is protected by copyright. © 2026 Andreas Schnorr. All rights reserved. No open-source license is granted; rights exist only as far as this Agreement expressly grants them.

2. License tiers and license grant

2.1 Free

For every version of howto-pad that the Licensor makes available free of charge ("Free edition"), the Licensor grants you a free, simple (non-exclusive), non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use it for any purpose, privately or commercially, with no limit on the number of users or devices. This includes downloading, storing and opening the Software and making copies for your own use or for use within your organisation.

2.2 Paid editions

If the Licensor offers paid editions or features in the future, the terms stated when you acquire them apply to those and supplement this Agreement.

3. Guides made with howto-pad

Guides you make with the Software belong to you; the Licensor claims no rights in your content. A saved guide is technically a copy of the Software with your content. You may pass such guide files on to any reader and publish them, also commercially. Readers may use the guide under this Agreement.

4. Built-in prompts

The built-in prompts follow the AIM-TO-PACE framework by Andreas Schnorr (aim-to-pace.ai). You may use them in your own AI chats and adapt them for your own guides, also inside the file. You may not publish, distribute or sell the prompts separately from the Software. The title line ("… · AIM-TO-PACE · aim-to-pace.ai") stays. The CC BY license of the AIM-TO-PACE framework does not extend to the prompt texts of this Software; for prompts from versions up to 3.4.0, Section 9 applies.

5. Restrictions

You may not:

• sell, rent, sublicense or make the Software available for a fee;
• modify the program part of the Software or distribute modified versions, except as §§ 69d, 69e of the German Copyright Act (UrhG) mandatorily permit;
• offer the Software or substantial parts of it as your own product or as a service for others;
• remove or alter copyright or license notices in the Software, in particular the notice at the top of the file.

Passing on guides under section 3 and adapting the prompts under section 4 remain permitted.

6. Data

The Software makes no network connection of its own and sends no content to the Licensor. If you embed images, videos or audio by web address, the reader's browser loads them from there when the guide is opened; the respective provider receives, among other things, the reader's IP address. Responsibility lies with whoever creates and passes on the guide. Content lives in the saved file; readers' progress, notes and entries stay in each reader's browser. Links in the Software (e.g. to aim-to-pace.ai) open only when you click them. You are responsible for backing up your files.

7. Warranty and liability

The Free edition is provided free of charge. For it, the Licensor is therefore liable only for intent and gross negligence; for defects only if he fraudulently concealed them (by analogy with §§ 521, 524 of the German Civil Code, BGB).

Liability for injury to life, body or health, liability under the German Product Liability Act and other mandatory statutory liability remain unaffected.

The Licensor has no influence on what an AI system answers to the built-in prompts and takes no responsibility for the content of guides that users make or pass on.

8. Updates and future versions

There is no claim to updates, fixes or further development. For each future version the Licensor decides whether it is released as a Free edition or for a fee. A Free edition you have obtained may be used under this Agreement without time limit; guides made with it may still be passed on.

9. Earlier versions

howto-pad up to and including version 3.4.0 was released under the MIT License (code) and CC BY 4.0 (prompts). Copies of those versions keep those licenses. This Agreement applies from version 3.5.0.

10. Term and termination

This Agreement applies for as long as you use the Software. If you breach section 5 and do not remedy the breach within 14 days of notice, the Licensor may terminate the license; in the case of intentional unauthorised distribution, without notice. Readers' rights in lawfully passed-on guides remain unaffected.

11. Governing law and final provisions

This Agreement is governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Consumers habitually resident in the EU keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of their country of residence. Place of jurisdiction is Stuttgart, Germany, where legally permitted.

Language: This Agreement is available in German and English. The German version prevails; the English translation is for information only.

Severability: If a provision is wholly or partly invalid, the remaining provisions stay valid; statutory law takes the place of the invalid provision.

12. Changes to this Agreement

The Licensor may change this Agreement for future versions. Changes are published on aim-to-pace.ai and do not retroactively restrict rights already granted for versions obtained.
