1. OWNERSHIP AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
   The Software is the proprietary intellectual property of Heitor Faria (the
   "Licensor") and is protected by copyright and other laws. The Software is
   licensed, not sold. No title to or ownership of the Software is transferred.
   All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Licensor.

2. LICENSE GRANT
   Subject to this Agreement, the Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive,
   non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software solely
   for Licensee's internal data-protection purposes, in the edition and for the
   entitlements associated with Licensee's account.

3. RESTRICTIONS
   Licensee shall NOT, and shall not permit any third party to:
   (a) copy, redistribute, sublicense, sell, rent, lease, or make the Software
       available to any third party;
   (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive
       the source code, algorithms, or internal design of the Software, except
       to the limited extent this restriction is expressly prohibited by
       applicable law (e.g., mandatory interoperability rights);
   (c) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
   (d) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks;
   (e) share, publish, or transfer repository credentials or license keys;
   (f) use the Software to build, benchmark for publication, or assist a
       competing product;
   (g) use the Software in any manner intended to harm, disrupt, defame, or
       damage the Licensor, the Software, its reputation, or its community.

4. NO SUPPORT AND NO WARRANTY FOR COMMUNITY / FREE EDITIONS
   The free or community edition of the Software is provided WITHOUT ANY
   SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, SERVICE-LEVEL COMMITMENT, OR UPDATES of any kind. The
   Licensor has NO OBLIGATION to provide bug fixes, patches, assistance, or
   response of any kind for community/free editions. Paid support and warranties,
   if any, are available only under a separate commercial subscription.

   THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
   KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF
   MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
   NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSEE ASSUMES ALL RISK ARISING FROM USE OF THE SOFTWARE,
   INCLUDING ANY RISK TO DATA. LICENSEE IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING
   INDEPENDENT BACKUPS AND VERIFYING RESTORES.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
   TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE
   LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE
   DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM
   OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
   DAMAGES. THE LICENSOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE
   AMOUNT, IF ANY, PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS
   PRECEDING THE CLAIM (AND SHALL BE ZERO FOR FREE/COMMUNITY EDITIONS).

6. CONFIDENTIALITY (NON-DISCLOSURE)
   The Software, repository contents, license keys, credentials, non-public
   documentation, performance characteristics, and any information disclosed by
   the Licensor that is not publicly available (collectively, "Confidential
   Information") are confidential. Licensee shall: (a) hold Confidential
   Information in strict confidence; (b) not disclose it to any third party
   without the Licensor's prior written consent; (c) use it only as permitted by
   this Agreement; and (d) protect it with at least the same care used for its
   own confidential information. This obligation survives termination.

7. TERMINATION
   This Agreement and the license terminate automatically if Licensee breaches
   any term, or upon the Licensor's notice. Upon termination, Licensee must
   cease all use and destroy all copies of the Software and Confidential
   Information. Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination.

8. GENERAL
   This Agreement is the entire agreement regarding the Software and supersedes
   prior understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder
   stays in effect. The Licensor may update this Agreement; continued use after
   an update constitutes acceptance. Failure to enforce a provision is not a
   waiver. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Licensor's jurisdiction,
   without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
