Casazium LICENSE SERVER — END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Effective: September 13, 2026
Copyright (c) 2025-2026 Casazium. All rights reserved.
This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity, "Licensee") and Casazium, a sole proprietorship located in Merrimack, New Hampshire, USA ("Licensor"), for the software product identified as Casazium License Server, including its associated source code, object code, documentation, and any updates or modifications provided by Licensor (the "Software").
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, ACCESS, OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
1. GRANT OF LICENSE
Subject to Licensee's payment of all applicable fees and continuing compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and run the Software, solely on infrastructure owned or controlled by Licensee, for the sole purpose of issuing and validating licenses for Licensee's own software products. No license is granted for any other purpose, including operating the Software as a licensing service for third parties or as a hosted/managed offering on behalf of anyone other than Licensee itself, unless separately agreed to in writing by Licensor.
2. OWNERSHIP
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights therein. This Agreement does not grant Licensee any rights to trademarks, service marks, or trade names of Licensor. All rights not expressly granted to Licensee are reserved by Licensor.
3. RESTRICTIONS
Licensee shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:
(a) copy, distribute, sublicense, rent, lease, sell, resell, assign, or otherwise transfer the Software, in whole or in part, to any third party;
(b) publish, post, or otherwise make the Software's source code, object code, or any derivative work publicly or privately available to any party not authorized under this Agreement, including via a public or private code repository;
(c) use the Software, or any portion of it, to develop, operate, or offer a product or service that competes with the Software or with Licensor's own license-server offering, including using the Software to license copies of the Software itself for resale to others;
(d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of any compiled, minified, or obfuscated portion of the Software, except and only to the extent such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation;
(e) remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, license-key, watermark, or other proprietary notice or identifier embedded in or accompanying the Software; or
(f) use the Software beyond the scope of any applicable usage limits (e.g. instance count, environment count, or seats) specified in Licensee's order or account.
4. LICENSE VALIDATION
The Software may periodically communicate with a license-validation service operated by Licensor ("Master Server") to confirm that Licensee's use of the Software is authorized. Licensee shall not interfere with, block, spoof, or attempt to bypass this validation mechanism. Licensor may suspend or degrade functionality of the Software if such validation fails or cannot be completed, subject to any grace period Licensor makes generally available; provided, however, that a validation failure caused by Licensor ceasing to operate the Master Server, or ceasing business, shall never be grounds to suspend or degrade Licensee's installation. See Section 8 (Discontinuation of the Software) for Licensor's further commitments in that circumstance.
5. CONFIDENTIALITY
Licensee acknowledges that the source code of the Software, and any non-public technical documentation provided by Licensor, constitute Licensor's confidential and proprietary information. Licensee shall protect such information using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of like importance, and in no event less than reasonable care, and shall not disclose it to any third party except as expressly permitted under this Agreement.
6. AUDIT
Licensor may, on no less than fifteen (15) days' written notice and no more than once per twelve (12)-month period, verify Licensee's compliance with this Agreement, including the scope of Licensee's deployment and usage. Licensee shall provide reasonable cooperation with any such verification.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
This Agreement is effective until terminated. Licensor may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if Licensee breaches any term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days of notice (where curable), or immediately for breaches of Section 3. Upon termination, Licensee shall cease all use of the Software and destroy or return all copies in its possession. Sections 2, 3(b)-(e), 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 survive termination.
8. DISCONTINUATION OF THE SOFTWARE
If Licensor ceases to offer or support the Software, or ceases business entirely, Licensor will provide Licensee at least ninety (90) days' written notice by email before doing so.
Before the effective date of such cessation, Licensor will make available to each Licensee whose license to the Software is valid and has not expired as of the date such notice is given (an "Existing Licensee") a final build of the Software with the activation-license check and all periodic communication with the Master Server removed. An Existing Licensee may continue to install and run that final build indefinitely thereafter, subject at all times to Section 1 (Grant of License) and Section 3 (Restrictions).
Discontinuation of the Software or of Licensor's business under this Section does not itself terminate this Agreement. This Section survives any termination of this Agreement under Section 7.
9. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. LICENSOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY LICENSEE TO LICENSOR FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).
11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, together with any order form, invoice, or purchase terms presented to Licensee at the time of purchase, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, or communications, whether written or oral, regarding its subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
12. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of New Hampshire, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, and Licensee consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
