End-User License Agreement

1. Acceptance

This End-User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal contract between you (an individual or a single legal entity, the "Customer") and ProjectThunder.com, Inc. (the "Licensor") for the BidGlory bid-proposal software, including any installer, command-line tools, documentation, and updates, patches, and additional features provided to you (collectively, the "Software"). By installing, copying, or otherwise using the Software, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

2. License grant

Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to install and use the Software for Customer's internal business purposes only.

No per-seat fee. The license is granted per instance, not per user. Customer may create and use an unlimited number of user accounts (employees, contractors acting on Customer's behalf, and customer-portal accounts belonging to Customer's own clients) on a licensed instance at no additional licensing charge. Paid plans are priced by instance and service level — see the Subscription & Support Terms — and Licensor may change pricing prospectively on 30 days' notice as stated there.

What an instance is. Because pricing is per instance, an instance is defined rather than counted: one instance serves one operating company (Customer, or a single subsidiary or affiliate under common control). Separate operating companies each require their own instance, and any use of one instance to serve companies Customer does not control is a hosting or reseller arrangement requiring Licensor's prior written consent under §3. Licensor does not count, meter, audit, or technically restrict user accounts, and the Software contains no seat-enforcement or license-check phone-home mechanism.

The Software may be installed on a single primary server per licensed instance. Customer may make backup copies of the Software solely for archival and disaster-recovery purposes.

3. Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit any third party to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this restriction.
• Rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or use the Software to provide a managed-service or hosting offering to third parties without Licensor's prior written consent.
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on the Software.
• Use the Software in any manner not authorized by this Agreement.
• Use the Software to develop or distribute any product or service that competes directly with the Software.

4. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. The Software is protected by copyright laws and international treaty provisions. No rights are granted to you other than those expressly stated in this Agreement.

Custom development is the exception. Work product that Licensor builds specifically for Customer under a Custom Dev Path or other paid custom-development engagement is owned by Customer as set out in Subscription & Support Terms §3a, which controls over this section for that work product.

5. Third-party components

The Software incorporates third-party libraries and components, whose use is subject to their respective licenses, including Microsoft .NET (MIT License) and Syncfusion Blazor components (used under a commercial Syncfusion license held by Licensor; not redistributable as part of customer derivative works). Other open-source dependencies are attributed in the bundled NOTICE file.

6. Updates and support

Licensor may, at its sole discretion, provide updates, patches, or additional features, which are deemed part of the Software and subject to this Agreement. Support entitlements (response targets, channel, hours) are governed by the applicable Service Level Agreement and Subscription & Support Terms, if any.

7. Term and termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. Your rights terminate automatically without notice if you fail to comply with any term. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies in your possession or control. Sections 4, 8, 9, 10, and 11 survive termination.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE REMAINS WITH YOU. BidGlory is offered as a Technology Preview and may change, be delayed, or be withdrawn.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. LICENSOR'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

10. Privacy and data

The Software stores Customer-supplied data (bid records, customer contacts, product catalog, etc.) in a database under Customer's control. Licensor does not collect telemetry from on-premises installations. For Licensor-hosted deployments, Licensor's processing of Customer data is governed by Licensor's privacy notice. Customer is the controller of any personal data Customer enters into the Software.

11. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

12. Entire agreement

This Agreement, together with the Service Level Agreement and the Subscription & Support Terms where applicable, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Licensor with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and representations. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
