Ltd., an Australian proprietary limited company ("Licensor", "we", "us", or "our"), for the Validibot Pro software and/or hosted service, including any associated documentation, updates, and support services (collectively, the "Software").
This Agreement applies to both self-hosted deployments and cloud-hosted subscriptions. Terms specific to each deployment mode are set out in the applicable Schedule:

(a) Install and use the Software on an unlimited number of Hosts controlled by Licensee;

2.3 Cloud Licensees (Schedule B) receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Software via the hosted service during the Subscription Period for Licensee's internal business purposes, subject to the user limits and usage limits of Licensee's subscription plan.
2.4 License Restrictions. Licensee shall not:
(a) Sublicense, sell, lease, rent, loan, or otherwise transfer the Software or any rights therein to any third party;
(b) Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on the Software or Documentation;
(c) Use the Software to provide managed services to unaffiliated third parties where the primary value delivered is access to the Software itself (if Licensee wishes to distribute the Software as part of a product sold to Licensee's own customers, Licensee must contact licensing@mcquilleninteractive.com to negotiate a separate OEM/Embedded License Agreement);
(d) Use the Software to develop a product or service that directly competes with Validibot's core functionality as a building simulation validation platform;
(e) Share, publish, or disclose License Keys or Account credentials to any third party;

The AUP is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and forms a binding part of Licensee's obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the AUP with respect to permitted use of the Software, the more restrictive provision prevails.
2.5 Ownership. The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights therein. Licensee acknowledges that the Software contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of Licensor.
2.6 Trademarks and Branding. "Validibot", the Validibot logo, the Validibot robot character, and all other trademarks, service marks, graphics, and logos used in connection with the Software (collectively, "Marks") are trademarks or registered trademarks of Licensor. This Agreement does not grant Licensee any right to use the Marks except as follows:
(a) Licensee may use the Marks solely to identify that Licensee uses the Software, in a manner consistent with Licensor's trademark guidelines (if any) and in a way that does not suggest endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation beyond the license relationship;
(b) Licensee shall not use the Marks in any manner that disparages Licensor or the Software, or that dilutes, tarnishes, or brings into disrepute the Marks;
(c) Licensee shall not register or attempt to register any trademark, domain name, or social media account that incorporates or is confusingly similar to any of the Marks; and
(d) Licensee shall not remove, alter, or obscure any Marks appearing in the Software or Documentation.
All goodwill arising from use of the Marks inures solely to the benefit of Licensor.
2.7 Dual Licensing and Community Edition. The Validibot Community Edition is available under the AGPL-3.0 at https://github.com/danielmcquillen/validibot. Purchasing a commercial license grants Licensee an alternative license for the entire codebase (Community Edition plus Pro components), allowing Licensee to use Validibot without any obligations of the AGPL-3.0. This means commercial licensees can use the Community Edition code without sharing modifications, run Validibot in proprietary environments without source disclosure, and combine Validibot with proprietary software without AGPL copyleft requirements.
Nothing in this Agreement limits Licensee's rights under, or grants Licensee rights that supersede, the terms of any applicable open source license for third-party components included in the Software.
2.8 Feedback. If Licensee provides suggestions, enhancement requests, or other feedback regarding the Software, Licensor may use such feedback without restriction or obligation to Licensee.
3. SUBSCRIPTION AND PAYMENT
3.1 Subscription Period. This license is granted for the Subscription Period specified in Licensee's Order. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement, the Subscription Period will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the current period.
3.2 Subscription Fee. Licensee agrees to pay the Subscription Fee as set forth in the applicable Order or as listed at https://validibot.com/pricing. All fees are quoted and payable in Australian Dollars (AUD) unless otherwise specified. Renewal fees may be adjusted with at least sixty (60) days' notice before the renewal date.
3.3 Payment Terms. For self-hosted licenses, payment is due within thirty (30) days of invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing. For cloud subscriptions, payment is processed automatically via the payment method on file. Late payments accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.
3.4 Taxes. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, including GST. Where GST applies, Licensor will include GST on invoices and Licensee agrees to pay such GST. Licensee is responsible for all other taxes, withholdings, duties, and levies arising from the purchase (excluding taxes based on the net income of Licensor).
3.5 Credit Packs (Cloud only). Licensee may purchase credit packs to supplement the credits included in Licensee's subscription plan. Each credit pack consists of the number of credits specified at the time of purchase. Credits are consumed when Licensee uses compute-intensive features as described in the Documentation. Purchased credits do not expire during an active Subscription Period. On cancellation or downgrade, unused purchased credits remain available until the end of the current Subscription Period but are not carried over and are not refundable. Credits are non-transferable between accounts or organisations. Licensor reserves the right to adjust credit consumption rates with at least thirty (30) days' notice.
3.6 Refunds. If the Software fails to perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation within fourteen (14) days of initial delivery or initial subscription, and Licensor is unable to remedy such failure within a reasonable time, Licensee may request a full refund of Subscription Fees paid for the current period. After this fourteen-day period, fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as otherwise provided in this Agreement (e.g., service credits under Schedule B). This is Licensee's sole remedy for non-conforming Software.
3.7 Price Changes. Licensor may change Subscription Fees with at least thirty (30) days' notice before the next renewal date. Price changes take effect at the start of the next Subscription Period.
4. SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE

(a) Email support during business hours (Australian Eastern Time);
(b) Access to software updates, bug fixes, and new releases at no additional charge; and
(c) Access to Documentation and knowledge base resources.
4.2 Response Times. Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to support requests within the timeframes specified for Licensee's subscription tier, but does not guarantee specific response or resolution times.
4.3 Support Scope. Support is limited to the current release and the immediately preceding release of the Software. Support services do not include:
(a) Issues arising from Licensee's modifications to the Software;
(b) Issues arising from use with unsupported software, hardware, or systems;
(c) Issues arising from misuse or unauthorised use of the Software;
(d) On-site support or training (unless separately agreed); or

5.1 Term. This Agreement commences on the Acceptance Date and continues until terminated in accordance with this Section.
5.2 Cancellation. Licensee may cancel its subscription at any time through the Account settings (Cloud) or by providing written notice (self-hosted). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current Subscription Period.
5.3 Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof. Licensor may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if Licensee breaches Section 2.4 (License Restrictions), including any breach of Section 2.4(k) (Acceptable Use Policy). In addition, Licensor may, without terminating this Agreement, suspend Licensee's access to the Software immediately and without prior notice where Licensor reasonably believes that continued access would breach the AUP, expose Licensor or any third party to material legal, regulatory, reputational, or security risk, or is required by law or binding regulatory order.
5.4 Termination for Non-Payment. Licensor may suspend or terminate access to the Software if Licensee fails to pay any amount due within thirty (30) days of the due date.
5.5 Termination for Insolvency. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party ceases operation without a successor, or seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against such party and not dismissed within sixty (60) days.
5.6 Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement:
(a) All licenses granted hereunder immediately terminate;
(b) Licensee must cease all use of the Software and Commercial Features;
(c) (Self-hosted) Licensee must destroy all copies of the Software in Licensee's possession or control, and certify such destruction in writing upon Licensor's request;
(d) (Cloud) Customer Data will be available for export for thirty (30) days, after which Licensor may delete it in accordance with Schedule B;
(e) Licensee's access credentials and License Keys will be revoked;
(f) Any amounts owed to Licensor become immediately due and payable; and
(g) The sections specified in Section 11 (Survival) survive termination.
5.7 Effect of Non-Renewal. If this Agreement expires due to non-renewal (as opposed to termination for breach), Licensee may continue to use any existing self-hosted installations of the Software solely with Validibot Community Edition features, subject to the AGPL-3.0 license. Commercial Features will be disabled upon expiration.

7.2 LIABILITY CAP. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID BY LICENSEE TO LICENSOR DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

| 95.0% - 98.99% | 10% |
| Below 95.0% | 25% |
