This Agreement is the license that lets you install and run CRY Free Optimizer. The app is free, so the terms are short and plain — and you accept them by installing or using it.
The short version. CRY is free. You get a personal, non-transferable license to install and run it. You may not sell it, hide its identity, or misuse it. It comes AS IS with no warranty, you use it at your own risk, and it has no telemetry — it never phones home. Open-source components keep their own licenses (see Licenses & Credits).
In this Agreement:
This Agreement is a binding contract between you and CRY. By installing, copying, running, or otherwise using the Software, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software — and delete any copy you hold.
You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, and you must have authority to apply system changes to the Device you use the Software on. This Agreement works alongside our Terms of Service and Disclaimer; if a conflict touches your license to the Software itself, this Agreement controls.
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, CRY grants you a free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and run the Software on any number of Devices that you own or control, for your personal or internal business use.
That is the whole grant. The Software is licensed to you, not sold. No rights are granted except those expressly stated here, and CRY reserves all rights not expressly granted.
Within the license above, you may:
cryset: code with others (the code carries a selection of Tweaks, not the Software itself).Because the Software is free, this license does not require a key, account, or activation. Sharing the Software means sharing the unmodified executable as published; it does not let you re-license it under different terms.
Except where applicable law expressly forbids the restriction (and only to that extent), you may not:
The Software and all intellectual property in it — including its source code, design, the CRY name and logo, and the “CRY Free Optimizer” wordmark — are and remain the property of CRY and its licensors, protected by copyright and other laws. This Agreement transfers no ownership to you; it grants only the limited license in Section 03.
Tweaks reference names, keys, and settings that belong to Microsoft or other third parties. Those names are used only to describe what a change does and imply no endorsement, affiliation, or partnership.
The Software includes Open-Source Components that are licensed to you under their own terms, not this Agreement. For example, the user interface uses Dear ImGui (MIT License), and the typeface is Montserrat under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. Where an Open-Source Component’s license grants you broader rights, or imposes additional conditions, that license governs for that component.
The full list of components, copyright notices, and license texts lives on our Licenses & Credits page. The Software’s optional App Installer can fetch separate third-party apps that you choose; those apps are governed by their own licenses, and CRY does not license them to you.
You acknowledge and accept how the Software is designed to work:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\CryOptimizer, capturing the previous value so you can undo per tweak, per session, or restore everything.Applying changes to Windows still carries inherent risk. Some changes need a sign-out or restart to take effect, and System Restore is a coarse fallback, not a guarantee. Your responsibilities are described in Section 09 and in our Disclaimer.
The Software changes system-level settings. You decide which Tweaks to apply and you accept responsibility for the result on your Device. You agree to keep your own backups, to read each change before approving it, and to apply changes only on systems you are authorized to modify.
The reversibility features — verbatim capture, the local change log, and the System Restore point — are provided to help you recover, but they do not eliminate risk and may not always succeed (for example, if Windows components, third-party software, or hardware behave unexpectedly). Full detail on risk, suitability, and your responsibilities is set out in our Disclaimer, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
CRY may release updates, new versions, or beta builds of the Software from time to time. The Software does not auto-update or phone home; any update is something you choose to download and install yourself. When you install a new version, the version of this Agreement published with it applies to that version.
This Agreement covers v1.1 BETA, a pre-release build. Beta software may contain defects, may change, and may be withdrawn. CRY is not obligated to provide updates, support, or continued availability of any version.
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CRY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
CRY does not warrant that the Software will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or compatible with your specific configuration, or that any change can be perfectly reversed. Because the Software is free and especially because v1.1 is a BETA, you accept that you run it at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CRY AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR SYSTEM DOWNTIME, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Because the Software is provided free of charge, CRY’s total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Software is limited to the amount you paid for it, which is zero. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
This Agreement takes effect when you first install or use the Software and continues until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by stopping all use of the Software and deleting every copy you hold.
This license terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms, and CRY may revoke it at any time. On termination, you must stop using the Software and delete it. Your local change log and presets stay on your Device under your control — you can keep or delete them. Sections that by their nature should survive — including 05, 06, 09, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 — survive termination.
You agree to use the Software in compliance with all applicable laws, including export control and sanctions laws. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use or export the Software to, any country or party subject to an embargo or restriction that would make doing so unlawful, and that you will not use the Software for any prohibited purpose.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which CRY is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The competent courts of that jurisdiction will have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software, except where mandatory local law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere. Nothing here removes consumer-protection rights that apply to you and cannot be waived.
This Agreement, together with the documents it references — our Terms of Service, Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, and Licenses & Credits — is the entire agreement between you and CRY about the Software, and it replaces any prior understanding on that subject. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect, and the unenforceable part is limited or removed to the least extent necessary. CRY’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
