Copyright (c) 2026 Dunecrest Ventures Inc.

1. SCOPE.
This software is the distribution published to PyPI as agentguard-spend-hermes,
comprising the Python package agentguard_spend_hermes/ as it appears in an
installed copy. It is licensed by Dunecrest Ventures Inc. ("Licensor") subject to
the following thresholds:

  (a) Evaluation Use. Internal evaluation, prototyping, and non-commercial
      development at any call volume.

  (b) Free Production Threshold. Production deployments processing 10,000
      or fewer enforcement calls per calendar month, in aggregate across
      all instances operated by the licensee, are permitted under this
      License without additional fee.

  (c) Commercial License Required. Production deployments processing more
      than 10,000 enforcement calls per calendar month, deployments
      operated for the benefit of third parties as a service, redistribution,
      sublicensing, public hosting, and republication each require a
      separate commercial license agreement with Licensor.
