Collabysis™

The Licensor is Albaraa Mesawi, a freelance software engineer and data
analyst holding a freelance registration in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
trading as Collabysis ("Licensor"). A legal entity that succeeds Albaraa
Mesawi as operator of Collabysis may replace him as Licensor without changing
any other term of this Agreement.

1. Definitions

"Software" means the Collabysis desktop application, its source code, binaries,
documentation, and updates provided under this Agreement. "Licensee" means the
person or organization to which a License Key is issued. "License Key" means a
signed activation code or license document that states the permitted use.
"Trial Key" means a License Key issued for evaluation, either directly by the
Licensor or with a subscription trial at the point of purchase. "Term" means the
period stated in the License Key. "Device" means one physical or virtual
computer on which the Software is installed or used. "Outputs" means results,
charts, tables, generated Python and R code, methodology documents,
reproducibility packages, receipts, and exports created with the Software.
"Third-Party Components" means software included with the Software that another
party licenses under separate terms. "Consumer" means a Licensee who acquires
the Software for purposes outside a trade, business, or profession.

2. Grant and Acceptance

Installing the Software or entering a License Key means the Licensee accepts
this Agreement. The Licensor grants the Licensee a personal, non-transferable,
non-exclusive right to install and use the Software on the number of Devices
allowed by the License Key, during the Term, for any lawful purpose. Permitted
purposes include commercial and academic research.

3. License Keys, Term, and Purchase

A valid License Key is required to run analyses and collections in the desktop
application. A Trial Key the Licensor issues directly lasts 30 days from issue
and needs no payment method. A Trial Key that starts with a subscription trial
at the point of purchase lasts 7 days from checkout, requires a payment method,
and continues as a paid License Key when the trial ends unless the Licensee
cancels before then; a cancelled trial's License Key runs to the end of the
trial. One Trial Key of each kind is available per person or organization unless
the Licensor agrees otherwise. A paid License Key lasts one year from purchase
unless the purchase states a different Term; the app shows the Term end in
Settings. Prices, taxes, and refund terms are stated at the point of purchase
and form part of this Agreement. The Term ends at expiry, non-renewal, refund,
failed payment, chargeback, or revocation. The Software may check a signed
revocation list when it is online. A revoked License Key no longer authorizes
analyses or collections.

4. What stays available without a License Key

The Licensee may open existing files, export existing results, view settings,
and check for updates without a valid License Key.

5. Outputs

All Outputs created from the Licensee's data belong to the Licensee. The
Licensee may use, publish, copy, modify, license, sell, or distribute those
Outputs without restriction or attribution. This Agreement grants no rights in
data or other material that the Licensee had no right to use.

6. Restrictions

The Licensee may not redistribute the Software in source, binary, packaged,
installer, modified, or other form. The Licensee may not host the Software as a
service, sublicense it, share License Keys, remove legal notices, or bypass
license, expiry, build-expiry, or revocation checks. The Licensee may not reverse
engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except to the extent applicable
law expressly permits that activity.

7. Updates and Build Expiry

Each build carries an expiry date. Updates released during the Term are
included. The Licensee must install a current build to continue running analyses
and collections after a build expires.

8. Third-Party Components

Third-Party Components remain subject to their own licenses. The file
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md identifies those components and their terms. That file
must travel with every copy of the Software.

9. Privacy and Data Protection

The Software runs on the Licensee's Device. The Licensee starts every request
the Software sends, except the four requests stated in this section.
Requests the Licensee starts are: collection requests to the sources the
Licensee names; an update check the Licensee requests in the Software; a
License Key activation, key status check, or subscription refresh the Licensee
requests in the Software; and an AI request made with the Licensee's own API
key or installed command-line interface. Before it runs a licensed feature (an
analysis or a collection, including the example the Home screen runs over a
recorded collection), the Software makes two requests to collabysis.com on its
own, each at most once every 24 hours: (a) it fetches the signed revocation
list and sends no License Key, key identifier, or email address; (b) when a paid
or trial subscription License Key has expired, it sends the installed License
Key document, which holds the Licensee's email address, and a random
installation identifier, to renew the key. The third request is a daily update
check: after the Software starts, at most once every 24 hours and with or
without a License Key, it fetches the signed release information (release.json
and its signature) from collabysis.com; that request sends no License Key, key
identifier, email address, or installation identifier, and the Software
downloads and installs nothing. The Licensee may turn the daily update check
off in Settings; the Software then checks for updates only when the Licensee
requests it. The Software sends no data files and no results to the Licensor
and, apart from that renewal request and the included requests and the count
request stated below, no personal data to the Licensor.

Included web search and AI requests are requests the Licensee starts: with a
subscription License Key, the Software sends each such request to
collabysis.com, which forwards its inputs to the web search or AI provider
named in the privacy notice and returns the answer. Each included request
carries the installed License Key document, which holds the Licensee's email
address, a random installation identifier and, within a collection run, a
random run identifier. Its inputs are the search text, or the fields of the AI
feature the Licensee uses, such as a question, column names and roles,
methodology text, or the titles, snippets, and hosts of search results that
agentic collection asks the Software's AI to choose from; those inputs may
contain personal data from the Licensee or from the pages the search found.
Before a collection run that may use included web search or AI, the Software
also sends collabysis.com, on its own, a request for the included counts
left; it carries the same License Key document and installation identifier
and no inputs. collabysis.com keeps no copy of the inputs, the results, or
the answers, keeps the counts the privacy notice lists, and sends the License
Key document to no provider.

When the Licensee turns on agentic collection and approves its plan, the
collection requests of that run include searches the Software's AI proposes
and pages it selects within the approved plan and within the budget of
searches, pages, and AI calls shown before the run; the Licensee starts and
may stop that run, and agentic collection stays off unless the Licensee turns
it on.

To issue, deliver, support, renew, and revoke License Keys, the Licensor
processes the Licensee's email address, key identifier, tier, Term, permitted
Device count, purchase status, and, for subscription keys, the random
installation identifier ("Licensing Data"). The Licensor uses Licensing Data for
no other purpose, does not sell it, and shares it only with a payment provider
named at purchase and as the law requires. Licensing Data is kept for the Term
plus the period that applicable commercial and tax record-keeping rules require,
then deleted. The Licensee may ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of
Licensing Data, subject to that retention, at al@collabysis.com. The Licensor
processes Licensing Data under the Personal Data Protection Law of the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia and, where it applies to the Licensee, the data protection law
of the Licensee's country, including the GDPR and the UK GDPR. The privacy
notice at collabysis.com describes these data flows.

10. Warranty Disclaimer

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. The Licensee is
responsible for checking Outputs before relying on them.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSOR AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS WILL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS. THEIR TOTAL
LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT
THE LICENSEE PAID FOR THE LICENSE KEY DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or
limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct,
or death or personal injury caused by negligence, or rights that consumer
protection law grants and does not allow to be waived.

12. Termination

This Agreement terminates automatically when the Licensee breaches it. The
Licensee must stop using and delete all copies of the Software. Before deletion,
the Licensee may open existing files and export existing results. Sections 5, 8,
9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive termination.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

The laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia govern this Agreement, without regard to
conflict-of-law rules. The competent courts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have
jurisdiction over a dispute arising from this Agreement. If the Licensee is a
Consumer, mandatory law of the country where the Licensee habitually resides may
give the Licensee additional rights and the right to bring or defend proceedings
in that country; this Agreement does not take those rights away. Before starting
proceedings, each party will give the other written notice of the dispute and
30 days to resolve it in good faith.

14. General

The Licensee must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority where the
Licensee lives, or use the Software through an organization that accepts this
Agreement on the Licensee's behalf. The Licensee may not use, export, or
re-export the Software in violation of applicable export control or sanctions
laws, and confirms that the Licensee is not a person or entity to whom the
Licensor is prohibited from providing software. Where consumer law grants a
withdrawal or cooling-off period, the purchase process states how it applies to
the immediate digital delivery of a License Key. This Agreement is written in
English; a translation is for convenience only and the English text governs.
The Licensor may change this Agreement for future versions of the Software and
future License Keys; a change does not shorten the Term of a License Key already
issued. The Licensee may not assign this Agreement. The Licensor may assign it to
a successor operator of Collabysis. This Agreement is the entire agreement about
the licensed version of the Software. If a court finds a provision
unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in force and the provision applies
to the extent the law allows. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of
it. Notices to the Licensor go to al@collabysis.com. Notices to the Licensee
go to the email address on the License Key record.
