License Agreement

• “Software” — the Tikship source code, object code, documentation, and related materials, including any updates or upgrades.
• “Source Code” — the human-readable form of the Software that allows the Licensee to make modifications.
• “Internal Commercial Use” — use of the Software within the Licensee’s own business operations, including developing, testing, and deploying commercial products or providing services to customers.
• “Derivative Work” — any work based on, modified from, or extended from the Software’s source code.
• “Team Member” — an individual in an employment or contractual relationship with the Licensee, working on the Licensee’s projects.

2.1 Individual License

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and payment of the applicable fee, the Licensor grants the Licensee a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual individual license to:

• (a) Install and use the Software on any number of devices for Internal Commercial Use.
• (b) Copy and modify the Software (copies for backup or development purposes only) and create Derivative Works.
• (c) Use Derivative Works for any internal commercial purpose, including running a business, providing services (SaaS), or incorporating the Derivative Work as part of a product — provided that product does not involve distributing the Derivative Work as standalone software to third parties.

Restriction: The Licensee may not share the Software source code (original or modified) with any third party, except contractors working directly on the Licensee’s behalf who require temporary access and are bound by the same restrictions.

2.2 Team License

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and payment of the applicable fee, the Licensor grants the Licensee and their Team Members a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual team license to:

• (a) Install and use the Software on any number of devices for internal team use.
• (b) Copy and modify the Software and create Derivative Works.
• (c) Share code internally — Team Members may share the Software source code (including modifications) within team projects.
• (d) Use Derivative Works for any internal team commercial purpose, including running business operations, providing services (SaaS), or incorporating Derivative Works into team products.

Restriction: The Licensee may not share the Software source code with any party outside the team. Access for departing Team Members must be revoked immediately upon their departure.

Regardless of license type, the Licensee must not:

• (a) Redistribute source code — provide the original or unmodified Software source code to any third party in any form, except as explicitly permitted above.
• (b) Redistribute Derivative Works — sublicense, resell, rent, lease, or transfer Derivative Works to any third party in any form.
• (c) Offer the original Software as a service — make the unmodified Software available as a hosted service to unauthorised third parties (providing services via Derivative Works is permitted, see Section 2).
• (d) Remove copyright notices — delete or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the Software.
• (e) Use trademarks — use the Licensor’s name, logo, or trademarks to promote Derivative Works without prior written consent.
• (f) Publish source code — publicly release the Software source code (including modifications) or contribute it to any open-source project.

• (a) Original Software: All rights, title, and interest in the Software (including copyrights, patents, and trade secrets) remain with the Licensor. This Agreement does not transfer any ownership of the Software.
• (b) Derivative Works: The Licensee owns the Derivative Works they create. The Licensee grants the Licensor a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use Derivative Works solely for the purpose of improving the Software (e.g., analysing generic bug fixes). The Licensor will not use Derivative Works for purposes that directly compete with the Licensee’s business without explicit consent.

License fees are due in full at the time of purchase. The Licensor reserves the right to change pricing at any time; existing licensees are not affected by subsequent price changes. All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise required by applicable law.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET THE LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ITS OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE LICENSE FEE PAID BY THE LICENSEE FOR THE SOFTWARE.

If the Licensee breaches any term of this Agreement, the Licensor may terminate this license immediately. Upon termination, the Licensee must immediately cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies, including any portions of the original code contained within Derivative Works.

Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that arose before the termination date.

This Agreement is governed by applicable law, excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration or the courts of the applicable jurisdiction.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Software license and supersedes all prior written or oral agreements, representations, and warranties. Any amendment to this Agreement must be confirmed in writing by both parties.
