This End User Licence Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you
(an individual or a single legal entity, "You") and Nafis Ayaz ("Licensor")
governing your use of the BOOSTOPT software, its command-line tools, and any
accompanying files and documentation (together, the "Software").

BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS
AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.

1. DEFINITIONS
   1.1 "Free Tier" means the Software as distributed publicly, excluding any
       feature that requires a Subscription Key.
   1.2 "Premium Features" means functionality that the Software enables only on
       presentation of a valid Subscription Key, including the hosted
       optimization service.
   1.3 "Subscription Key" means a credential issued by Licensor entitling You to
       Premium Features for a stated period.

2. LICENCE GRANT — FREE TIER
   Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants You a
   non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to install
   and use the Free Tier, on any number of machines You own or control,
   including for internal commercial purposes and in automated build and
   continuous-integration systems. No seat, machine, or runner limit applies to
   the Free Tier.

3. LICENCE GRANT — PREMIUM FEATURES
   Premium Features are licensed only for the period covered by a valid
   Subscription Key and only to the entity to which that Key was issued. Keys
   are personal to You and must not be shared, published, or sublicensed. On
   expiry or termination of a subscription the licence to Premium Features ends
   immediately; the Free Tier licence in section 2 is unaffected.

4. RESTRICTIONS
   You must not, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it
   notwithstanding this restriction:
   (a) redistribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise make the
       Software available to any third party;
   (b) modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the Software;
   (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or attempt to
       derive its source code, save where such an act is permitted by law for
       the purpose of achieving interoperability and You have first requested
       the necessary information from Licensor;
   (d) remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trade mark, or attribution
       notice, including the third-party notices in the accompanying NOTICE file;
   (e) circumvent, disable, or interfere with any licensing, entitlement, or
       metering mechanism, or use Premium Features without a valid Subscription
       Key;
   (f) use the Software to build or operate a product or service that competes
       with the Software or with Licensor's hosted service.

5. OWNERSHIP
   The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor retains all right, title, and
   interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights.
   No rights are granted other than those expressly stated in this Agreement.

6. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS
   The Software incorporates or refers to third-party components that remain
   subject to their own licences, which prevail over this Agreement to the
   extent of any conflict. Those components and their notices are listed in the
   accompanying NOTICE file.

7. YOUR CODE AND YOUR DATA
   The Free Tier processes your source code locally on your own machine.
   Licensor does not receive, collect, or transmit your source code through the
   Free Tier. Where You choose to use a hosted or third-party model backend, the
   material You submit is transmitted to that service and handled under its
   terms and Licensor's privacy policy at https://boostopt.com/privacy.

8. NO WARRANTY
   THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
   IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
   FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Without limiting the
   foregoing, Licensor does not warrant that the Software's verification of a
   proposed change is free from error, and You remain responsible for reviewing,
   testing, and approving any change before it reaches production.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
   TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
   INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR
   ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR DATA USE, HOWEVER CAUSED. LICENSOR'S
   TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER
   OF (a) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO LICENSOR FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS
   PRECEDING THE CLAIM, AND (b) ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS (USD 100).
   Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully
   be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury
   caused by negligence, or for fraud.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION
    This Agreement applies from your first installation or use of the Software
    until terminated. It terminates automatically if You breach any of its
    terms. On termination You must cease all use of the Software and remove all
    copies from your systems; `boostopt-uninstall` performs that removal.
    Sections 5, 8, 9, and 11 survive termination.

11. GENERAL
    11.1 Governing law: this Agreement is governed by the laws of India, and the
         courts having jurisdiction at the Licensor's principal place of business
         in India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from
         or relating to it.
    11.2 Entire agreement: this Agreement is the entire agreement between the
         parties regarding the Software and supersedes any prior understanding.
    11.3 Severability: if any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder
         continues in full force.
    11.4 No waiver: a failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
