Publisher Rights and Licence

The software is ours. Your files are yours. This document draws that line and says exactly what your licence lets you do.

1. Ownership of the software

All intellectual property rights in LLCServco Drive belong to llcservco.org — [TO BE SET BY THE OWNER] (legal entity name and registration number) — or to its licensors. That includes, without limitation:

• the software in every form, compiled and source;
• its architecture, structure, algorithms and database schemas;
• its interface, visual design, layout, icons and artwork;
• the names LLCServco and LLCServco Drive, the logos and every other mark we use; and
• the documentation, help content and training material.

Nothing in the sale transfers ownership of any of this to you. You acquire a licence, and nothing more.

2. What your licence allows

Subject to payment and to these terms, we grant your organisation a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use LLCServco Drive for its own internal business purposes, for the term of the licence and within the limits recorded in it.

The licence is granted to the verified organisation named in the order. It does not extend to a parent, subsidiary or affiliate unless we agree that in writing.

3. What your licence does not allow

You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• resell, rent, lease, lend or distribute the software, or offer it to third parties as a service;
• sublicense it, or transfer or assign your licence to another entity;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, or otherwise attempt to derive its source code, except to the precise extent that applicable law permits despite this restriction;
• copy, modify, adapt or create derivative works from it, beyond the copies strictly needed to install, run and back up your own permitted installation;
• remove, obscure or alter any notice of copyright, ownership, licensing or authorship in the software, its interface or its documentation;
• use our name, logos or marks — in product names, marketing, domain names or anywhere else — without our prior written permission;
• circumvent, disable or tamper with the licensing, activation, quota or integrity mechanisms in the software, or use it beyond the users, devices or limits your licence records; or
• benchmark or publish measurements of the software for a competing product without our written permission.

4. Termination and enforcement

The licence ends automatically when its term expires, and we may terminate it immediately if you breach these terms, if KYB verification fails or proves to have been based on false information, or if payment is not made.

When the licence ends you must stop using the software and remove it from your systems. Your own data is not affected by that: it stays where it always was, on your storage, and it remains yours. See Data Responsibility.

The software contains its own protection mechanisms — licence validation, activation and expiry checks — and those mechanisms enforce the term and the limits of your licence. When a licence expires or is revoked, the software will stop operating or will fall back to a restricted state. That is intended behaviour, not a fault, and it is not a ground for a refund.

5. Your data stays yours

Our rights are in the software. They are never in your files. We claim no ownership of, licence over, or interest in the content your organisation stores in its installation, and we do not access, analyse, mine or reuse it. Where you enable encrypted backup to us, that does not change ownership of the data or give us any right to it beyond holding the encrypted copy for the purpose of that feature.

6. Feedback

If you send us suggestions or feedback about the product, we may use them without restriction and without payment. This does not give us any right to your data.

7. Infringement

You must tell us promptly if you learn of any unauthorised copying, distribution or use of the software. We may audit compliance with the licence on reasonable notice, and we may pursue any legal remedy available to us against infringement.

8. Governing law

This document is governed by the law of [TO BE SET BY THE OWNER], and the courts of [TO BE SET BY THE OWNER] have exclusive jurisdiction.
