Terms of Use: Pulsar Dynamics

Effective date: 21 September 2026 · Last updated: 21 September 2026

1. Who we are

Pulsar Dynamics (“Pulsar Dynamics”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a software engineering company based in the United Arab Emirates, previously trading as 71 Labs. The change of name does not affect any agreement entered into under the former name. You can reach us at info@71labs.com.

In these terms, “Site” means this website, “Software” means any Pulsar Dynamics desktop application including Pulsar Recovery, Pulsar PC Repair, Pulsar Encode and Pulsar AntiVirus, and “Services” means both together.

2. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing the Site or installing, activating or using the Software, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority where you live, to use the Services.

3. Pre-release status

The Software is currently in development and has not been commercially released. Any pre-release, beta or evaluation build is provided for testing purposes only. It may contain defects, may change substantially before release, and may be withdrawn at any time.

Descriptions of features on this Site describe intended functionality and do not constitute a commitment that any particular feature will appear in a released product, or that any product will be released at all. Availability, pricing and support terms will be published at release.

4. Licence

Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for your own personal or internal business purposes.

You may not:

copy, redistribute, sell, rent, sublicense or host the Software for third parties;
reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except where that restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice;
circumvent, disable or interfere with licensing, activation or security features;
use the Software to develop a competing product.

We retain all rights not expressly granted. The Software is licensed, not sold.

5. Activation and licence keys

Pulsar Recovery requires an internet connection for activation and licence verification at least once every 30 days. A licence expires sooner if the paid subscription ends. During activation the Software transmits licence and device information to our licensing service. What is transmitted, and why, is described in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for keeping your licence key confidential. A licence key is issued to you and may not be shared, resold or published. We may suspend or revoke a licence that we reasonably believe is being used in breach of these terms.

If an existing licence expires before online verification succeeds, Recovery blocks new file recoveries. You can still scan and review results, and work already running is not interrupted.

6. Your responsibilities

You are solely responsible for how you use the Services, and you agree that you will only use them on systems, drives, files and data that you own or are authorised to access.

This matters particularly for Pulsar Recovery and Pulsar AntiVirus. Recovering data from, or scanning, a device you do not own or have permission to examine may be unlawful in your jurisdiction. Determining whether you have that permission is your responsibility, not ours.

You further agree to:

maintain your own backups of any data you value, before and independently of using the Software;
comply with all applicable laws, including data protection, computer misuse and export control laws;
not use the Services to infringe anyone’s rights or to access data unlawfully.

7. Product-specific notices

Data recovery

Data recovery is inherently uncertain. Whether any particular file can be recovered depends on the physical condition of the storage device, how the data was lost, and what has happened to the device since. We do not guarantee that any data will be recovered. Continued use of a failing drive, including running our Software on it, carries a risk of further deterioration or total failure.

System diagnosis and repair

Pulsar PC Repair makes changes to your operating system when you approve a repair. Although it creates a restore point beforehand and is designed to be reversible, no repair operation is risk-free. You are responsible for reviewing each proposed change before approving it and for maintaining independent backups.

Security scanning

Pulsar AntiVirus is an on-demand scanner and monitor intended to run alongside Microsoft Defender or another real-time security product. It is not a complete security solution and must not be relied on as your only protection. No security product detects every threat, and a clean scan result is not a guarantee that a file or system is safe.

Media encoding

Output file size and visual quality depend on your source material and the options you choose. Estimates are estimates. You are responsible for holding the necessary rights to any media you process.

8. Third-party software and trademarks

The Software may include third-party and open-source components, which remain subject to their own licence terms. Those terms are made available within the Software.

Microsoft, Windows and Microsoft Defender are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies. Other product and company names are the trademarks of their respective owners. Reference to them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

9. Intellectual property

The Services, including all software, text, design, graphics and brand assets, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of any of it to you.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any defect will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is the case, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted, and you may have additional rights that these terms cannot limit.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, loss of profits, loss of business or loss of goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Software in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 50.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your misuse of the Services, your breach of these terms, or your use of the Services on any system or data you were not authorised to access.

13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time by uninstalling the Software. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms. On termination, the licence granted in section 4 ends and you must stop using and remove the Software. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive it.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated through the Site or within the Software. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. The courts of the United Arab Emirates will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to them, except that we may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect our intellectual property.

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in force.

16. Contact

Questions about these terms can be sent to info@71labs.com, or by post to 71 Labs, United Arab Emirates.
