+      PME-F does not require a PME account, device registration, or DRM. Repository access
+      is verified from the purchase record provided by the vendor used for your order.
+    </p>
+
+    <section>
+      <h2>One year of updates</h2>
+      <p>
+        Your update period starts at the purchase timestamp recorded by the vendor and lasts
+        one calendar year. A renewal adds one year from the later of your current update expiry
+        or the renewal purchase time.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        Purchases made before this policy took effect receive a transition period through
+        <strong>2027-08-11T20:35:05.557Z</strong>, one year after the public PME-F 2.1 artifact.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        After expiry, PME-F does not stop working. You may keep using versions already obtained
+        and re-download the last safe, compatible release published during your eligible period.
+        Releases published later are not included.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        A refunded or disputed purchase loses remote Repository and re-download access. Copies
+        already received are not remotely disabled.
+      </p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section>
+      <h2>Information we keep</h2>
+      <p>
+        We retain the minimum records needed to verify a purchase, provide Repository access and
+        recovery, administer update eligibility, prevent abuse, and provide support. These include
+        a vendor sale ID and purchase status, an opaque PME-F subject ID, entitlement history and
+        expiry, and non-reversible credential fingerprints. The setup page does not save the
+        purchase key you enter. Raw Repository tokens, recovery secrets, purchase keys, and email
+        addresses are not written to PME-F application logs.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        Repository requests may record the request time, result, requested artifact or version,
+        transfer size, Blender and platform compatibility information, and a daily privacy-preserving
+        network fingerprint derived from a coarse network prefix. PME-F does not store raw IP
+        addresses in its application database. Security-event records are retained for 80 days.
+      </p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section>
+      <h2>Availability and support</h2>
+      <p>
+        The update service is provided on a best-effort basis. Continuous availability, automatic
+        recovery, a fixed release schedule, and compatibility with every future Blender version are
+        not guaranteed. An update-service outage does not disable an installed copy of PME-F.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        For help, contact <a href="mailto:Support@pie-menu-editor.com">Support@pie-menu-editor.com</a>
+        and include your order ID, PME-F version, Blender version, and a short description of the problem.
