# VeloraMesh End User License Agreement

Effective date: 2026-09-05
Version: v1.0.0-rc2
Product: VeloraMesh
Publisher: VeloraMesh project owner

This End User License Agreement governs use of VeloraMesh binary releases,
installers, packages, and Android APKs. If you do not agree to these terms,
do not install or use VeloraMesh.

This agreement applies to the v1.0.0-rc2 release-candidate packages. A signed
commercial agreement can override these terms.

## 1. License Grant

The publisher grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive,
non-transferable license to install and use VeloraMesh for personal evaluation,
private testing, and internal non-commercial use.

Commercial use, managed service use, resale, redistribution, hosted access,
bundling with another product, or use for third-party paid support requires
prior written permission or a separate commercial license.

## 2. Ownership

VeloraMesh is proprietary software. The publisher retains all rights, title, and
interest in the VeloraMesh source code, binaries, protocol design, trademarks,
documentation, and related materials, except for third-party components
covered by their own licenses.

No source-code license is granted by this agreement.

## 3. Restrictions

Except where applicable law does not allow a restriction, you may not:

- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive source code from
  VeloraMesh binaries;
- bypass, weaken, or remove authentication, authorization, encryption,
  endpoint hygiene, rate limiting, or membership controls;
- modify and redistribute VeloraMesh packages;
- sell, lease, rent, sublicense, host, or provide VeloraMesh as a service
  without written permission;
- use VeloraMesh to attack, disrupt, monitor without authorization, or gain
  unauthorized access to networks, devices, accounts, or data;
- remove copyright, license, security, or third-party notice files from
  release packages.

Security research is allowed only when it is conducted against systems you own
or are explicitly authorized to test, and reported responsibly.

## 4. Third-Party Components

VeloraMesh includes third-party open-source components. Those components remain
licensed under their own terms. See `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md`.

Nothing in this agreement limits rights granted directly by third-party
licenses.

## 5. Security And Availability

VeloraMesh is security-oriented software, but no software can guarantee absolute
security, uninterrupted connectivity, or zero packet loss.

You are responsible for:

- protecting join secrets, devices, and server access;
- keeping server and client packages updated;
- reviewing firewall, OS, and VPN permissions;
- testing the product before relying on it for sensitive workflows.

## 6. Privacy And Metadata

VeloraMesh can process operational metadata needed for VPN and peer discovery,
including device identifiers, network membership, virtual IPs, endpoints,
public IP/port observations, timestamps, and logs. See `PRIVACY.md`.

## 7. Updates

The publisher may provide updates, patches, or replacement packages. You are
responsible for verifying release checksums/signatures when provided.

## 8. Termination

This license terminates automatically if you violate these terms. On
termination, you must stop using VeloraMesh and remove installed copies unless a
separate written agreement allows continued use.

## 9. Warranty Disclaimer

VeloraMesh is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any
kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied
warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title,
non-infringement, security, availability, or error-free operation.

## 10. Limitation Of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the publisher is not liable for lost
profits, lost data, service interruption, security incidents, network outages,
device damage, business interruption, indirect damages, special damages,
incidental damages, consequential damages, or punitive damages arising from
use of VeloraMesh.

## 11. Export And Legal Compliance

You are responsible for complying with applicable laws, including export
control, sanctions, cybersecurity, privacy, telecommunications, and computer
misuse laws in your jurisdiction.

## 12. Commercial Licensing

For commercial licensing, paid support, hosted setup, enterprise deployment,
custom builds, or redistribution permission, obtain written approval from the
publisher before use.
