BidGlory — End-User License Agreement

1. Acceptance

This End-User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal contract between you (either an individual or a single legal entity, referred to as the "Customer") and ProjectThunder Systems (the "Licensor") for the BidGlory bid-proposal software, including any associated installer, command-line tools, documentation, and any 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 the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

2. License grant

Subject to your continued compliance with the terms of 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.

Each named user requires a separate seat. The Software may be installed on a single primary server and the workstations of named seat-holders. Customer may make a single backup copy of the Software solely for archival 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 that such activity is 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 therein. 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.

5. Third-party components

The Software incorporates third-party libraries and components. Use of those components is subject to their respective licenses, including:

• Microsoft .NET — used under the MIT License.
• Syncfusion Blazor — components used under a commercial Syncfusion license held by Licensor; not redistributable as part of customer derivative works.
• Other open-source dependencies — see the bundled NOTICE file (planned for a future release) for the full attribution list.

6. Updates and support

Licensor may, at its sole discretion, provide updates, patches, or additional features for the Software. Such updates are deemed part of the Software and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Support entitlements (response time, channel, hours) are governed by the separate support contract or order form applicable to your purchase, if any.

7. Term and termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. Your rights under this Agreement terminate automatically without notice if you fail to comply with any term of this Agreement. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies of the Software 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, EITHER 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.

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 cloud-hosted deployments, Licensor's processing of Customer data is governed by Licensor's published privacy notice (planned to be linked here in a future release). 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 [JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [VENUE] for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Counsel: replace [JURISDICTION] and [VENUE] with the appropriate values for ProjectThunder Systems, and confirm any export-control / consumer-protection additions needed for international distribution.

12. Entire agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Licensor with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations regarding the Software. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
