OpenContext Private Beta Software License
Version 2026-09-11

Copyright (c) 2026 Alec Merle. All rights reserved.
Copyright (c) 2026 Dovah LLC. All rights reserved.

This license governs the OpenContext software and accompanying documentation
provided by Alec Merle (the "Publisher"). OpenContext is proprietary software;
this license does not make its source code open source or publicly reusable.

1. Permission to evaluate

If the Publisher invites you to the private beta, you may use OpenContext for
your own personal or internal business evaluation and provide feedback. This
permission is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and limited to your invitation.
You may run browser code delivered by the Publisher's authorized service.
If the Publisher also supplies a local copy, you may install, run, back up,
and modify that copy on machines you control for the same evaluation purpose.
Access to a repository or possession of a copy does not grant broader rights.

The software license is free during the private beta. A hosted account is
also subject to the service terms presented when you accept its invitation.
This license alone does not create an account or promise hosted availability.
You are responsible for charges from model providers and other third-party
services you choose to use. No future paid plan is accepted by this license.

2. Restrictions

Without the Publisher's written permission, you may not redistribute, sell,
sublicense, or publicly publish the software or its source code; make it
available as your own hosted or managed service; share beta credentials; or
remove copyright, license, or third-party notices. Do not bypass access
controls or use the software to access another person's data without
authorization. These restrictions do not limit rights that applicable law
does not allow an agreement to exclude.

3. Your content

This license covers the software, not your documents or knowledge vault.
As between you and the Publisher, you retain your rights in content you
provide and in the resulting vault, graph, and exports, subject to any
underlying third-party rights. The Publisher claims no ownership of them.
You are responsible for having permission to process the content you supply.

A local installation does not send its vault to the Publisher merely because
you use it. Enabled models, integrations, and linked tools have their own
data flows. A hosted service necessarily processes and stores content on
service infrastructure, as described in its separate privacy policy and
service terms. This license does not authorize unrelated use of your data.

4. Feedback

You may choose to send suggestions or other feedback. You permit the
Publisher to use that feedback to improve OpenContext without compensation
or attribution obligations. This permission does not transfer ownership of
your documents, vault, or other private content supplied with a support
request. Do not include credentials or unnecessary private content in feedback.

5. Duration and ending access

This permission lasts for your private-beta invitation. You may end it at
any time. The Publisher may end the beta or your invitation, with reasonable
advance notice where practicable, or immediately for a material breach,
security issue, or legal requirement. Hosted export and deletion follow the
service terms and privacy policy accepted for that account.

When permission ends, stop using and remove local copies of the software,
except copies you must retain by law. You may keep your documents, vault,
and exports. Sections 2 through 8 continue to apply where relevant after
termination. A later release may offer different terms without changing
your ownership of your content.

6. No warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND
"AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT. Beta features may change or fail. AI-generated content
can be inaccurate; verify outputs before relying on them and keep backups
appropriate to your needs.

7. Liability and mandatory rights

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PUBLISHER IS NOT LIABLE FOR
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR
LOST DATA ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE. THE PUBLISHER'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER
THIS LICENSE IS LIMITED TO US $100. Nothing excludes liability or consumer
rights that applicable law does not permit an agreement to exclude.
For an authorized hosted account, its service terms govern service liability.

8. Third-party components and contact

Third-party components remain under their own licenses, including applicable
notices in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md. This license does not replace those terms,
grant rights in third-party trademarks, or imply endorsement. Your model
provider and integration agreements remain separate.
