Software Licence
1The Application Is Open Source
The Classark Exam Builder desktop application ("the application") is free software. Copyright (C) 2026 Classark. It is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 ("AGPL").
The AGPL lets you run, study, change and share the application's code, on the conditions it sets out. In particular, if you distribute the application or a modified version of it, you must do so under the AGPL and make its complete source code available.
2Getting the Source Code
Each version's complete source code is available:
- inside the application: open About and licences and choose Download source code
- in our public repository, github.com/Classark/exam-builder, with one release per version
The application also includes the licence text, and the licences of the third-party libraries it is built with, in the same place.
3Third-Party Components
The application includes open-source libraries made by others, each under its own licence. Those licences are listed in the application under About and licences. Where a library's licence and this page differ, the library's licence applies to that library.
4What the Licence Does Not Cover
The Classark service
Signing in, AI features and billing are provided by our servers, which are a separate service and not part of the application's code. Your use of that service, with the official application or any other version, is governed by the Exam Builder Terms of Service and needs an active subscription.
Names and logos
"Classark", "Classark Exam Builder" and the Classark and Exam Builder logos are our trademarks. The AGPL covers the code, not the right to use them. If you distribute a modified version, you must not use our names or logos for it, or suggest that it comes from or is approved by us.
Exam papers
The application includes no exam papers. The papers and mark schemes you use with it belong to their publishers, and the AGPL gives no rights over them.
5No Warranty
As the AGPL states, the application comes with no warranty, to the extent permitted by law. It is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, and the entire risk as to its quality and performance is with you. See sections 15 and 16 of the AGPL. Our commitments for the paid service are in the Exam Builder Terms of Service.
