(c) Conceal, obscure, or remove any copyright notices, author attributions, trademark marks, or legal disclosures embedded in the Software;
(d) Claim, represent, or imply authorship, copyright ownership, or origin of the Software.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 3 — COMMERCIAL LICENSES, VERSION STREAMS & INSTANCE LIMITS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 Commercial Requirement. Any deployment, execution, or utilization of the Software for a Commercial Purpose requires a valid, active Commercial License procured directly from Licensor or an Authorized Reseller.
3.2 Major.Minor Version-Locked Scope. Commercial Licenses are issued strictly per specific Major.Minor Version Stream (e.g., Version Stream 1.3):
(a) A valid Commercial License entitles Licensee to install, execute, and receive all maintenance updates, conformity bug fixes, security patches, and minor builds issued within that specific purchased Major.Minor Version Stream (e.g., 1.3.1, 1.3.2);
(b) The license does not grant entitlement to subsequent Major.Minor version releases (e.g., Version 1.4 or Version 2.0). Upgrading to subsequent Major.Minor version streams requires acquiring a separate version upgrade license or maintaining an active commercial subscription.
3.3 Commercial Tiers. Commercial Licenses are offered across designated commercial tiers:
(a) Pro Tier — Commercial platform seat for a designated Major.Minor Version Stream, including baseline protocol connectivity;
(b) Enterprise Tier — Enterprise platform seat for high-volume deployments, expanded source limits, enterprise single sign-on (SSO), and designated support SLA terms;
(c) Trial Pro Tier — Time-limited, revocable evaluation license issued solely for internal commercial assessment and proof-of-concept testing.
3.4 Modular Plugin Instance Pricing & Enforcement.
(a) Commercial Licenses include one (1) default active connection instance per licensed official plugin module;
(b) Establishing multiple concurrent connections, field channels, network sessions, or device endpoints using the same plugin requires purchasing additional concurrent Plugin Instances;
(c) The Software dynamically restricts concurrent connections to the thresholds authorized in Licensee's license key, as displayed in the Allowed Capacity Limits Table of the Software. Exceeding authorized instance limits or attempting to bypass instance limit enforcement constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.
3.5 Hardware Binding & Machine Activation.
(a) Each Commercial License is cryptographically bound to Licensee's designated host hardware via the License Request Code generated by the Software;
(b) Commercial Licenses are non-transferable between physical host servers or virtual machine environments without prior written authorization and license re-keying by Licensor.
3.6 Compliance Verification & Audit Rights. Licensor reserves the right, upon thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice, to audit Licensee's deployment of the Software during normal business hours to verify compliance with authorized seat counts, version streams, and plugin instance limits. If an audit establishes unauthorized deployment or material underpayment, Licensee shall promptly remit the required license fees and reimburse reasonable audit expenses.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 Reservation of Title and Ownership. The Software, including all underlying source code, algorithms, visual graph execution engines, IPC runtime daemons, protocol adapters, schemas, documentation, and all intellectual property rights therein (including copyrights, trade secrets, patents, moral rights, and proprietary rights worldwide), is protected by national laws and international copyright treaties. All title, legal ownership, and underlying intellectual property rights in and to the Software remain strictly reserved to the Software's original creator and licensors. Licensor distributes, markets, and sublicenses the Software pursuant to an exclusive commercial distribution grant. This Agreement does not convey to Licensee any ownership, title, or intellectual property rights in or to the Software, but grants solely a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to use the compiled binary Software in accordance with this Agreement.
4.2 Commercial Branding & Distributor Notices. Licensor displays commercial distribution notices and copyright marks (e.g., "© 2024-2026 e-clectic sa") strictly in its capacity as Authorized Commercial Distributor. Licensee shall not remove, alter, obscure, or conceal any copyright notices, author credits, trademark symbols, digital signatures, or legal disclaimers displayed within the user interface, splash screens, about dialogs, or binary metadata of the Software.
4.3 Reverse Engineering Prohibition. Licensee shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:
(a) Decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, decrypt, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, object architecture, or underlying trade secrets of the Software, except solely to the non-waivable extent permitted by applicable mandatory law for interoperability purposes;
(b) Extract, scrape, or disassemble uncompiled assemblies, libraries, or pipeline artifacts outside the authorized execution of the Software.
4.4 Anti-Circumvention & Tampering Protection. Licensee shall not modify, patch, hook, inject, or tamper with any binary, library, dynamic-link library (.dll), licensing engine component, or runtime configuration file of the Software to:
(a) Bypass, alter, or disable license validation routines, cryptographic handshakes, or hardware binding algorithms;
(b) Defeat capacity limit counters, concurrent plugin instance limits, or feature gates;
(c) Obscure or alter commercial branding, author attributions, or copyright notices.
4.5 Code Signing Trust. Cryptographic code signing applied to release binaries verifies distribution integrity and operating system execution trust. Digital signing by Licensor as Authorized Commercial Distributor does not constitute an assignment or transfer of underlying software authorship or title.
