Alkeari License Agreement (ALA)

By downloading, installing, copying, or otherwise using any Work(s) covered by this Agreement, the Licensee agrees to be bound by its terms. If the Licensee does not agree, they must not use, copy, or distribute the Work(s).

1. Definitions

  • Licensor: Alkeari, the sole creator and rights holder of the Work(s).
  • Licensee: Any person, group, or entity obtaining, using, or distributing the Work(s).
  • Work(s): Any digital file, script, executable, archive, mod, configuration, data package, or other electronic material created or distributed by the Licensor.
  • Official Source: Any distribution channel directly maintained or authorized in writing by the Licensor. All other channels are unauthorized unless explicitly approved in writing.

2. Grant of License

The Licensor grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to:

  • Use the Work(s) for private, personal, educational, or public purposes.
  • Include unmodified copies of the Work(s) in a collection, package, or distribution (commercial or non-commercial) provided all terms of this Agreement are followed.

3. Restrictions

Without explicit written authorization from the Licensor, the Licensee shall not:

  • Modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the Work(s).
    • Translations of text-only content are permitted if no binary or structural changes are made and the translation is clearly marked as unofficial.
    • Compatibility or interoperability patches are permitted if the patch does not itself contain or redistribute any part of the Work(s), the patch is made freely available to anyone who owns the Work(s) it patches, and the patch is clearly marked as an unofficial third-party addition.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract source code or proprietary components, except to the extent such restriction is unenforceable under mandatory law in the Licensee's jurisdiction (for example, laws granting a right to reverse engineer solely to achieve interoperability).
  • Use the Work(s), or any portion of their content or source, to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise develop any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, without explicit written authorization from the Licensor.
  • Host, mirror, or provide direct downloads of the Work(s) outside an Official Source, whether as a standalone file or as part of a collection.
  • Remove, alter, or obscure author credits, version data, or licensing information.
  • Claim ownership or redistribute the Work(s) under a different identity or name.
  • Sell, rent, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize the Work(s) beyond what Section 4 permits.

4. Distribution in Collections

The Licensee may include the Work(s) as part of a larger collection, toolkit, or package only if:

  • The Work(s) remain unmodified and retain all original metadata and this license file.
  • The distribution credits Alkeari as the creator and links to an Official Source.
  • The Work(s) are not independently hosted or redistributed outside the collection.
  • Upon written request from the Licensor, the Licensee removes and deletes the Work(s) within seven (7) days.

5. Commercial Use

Commercial inclusion is permitted provided that:

  • The Work(s) remain unmodified and attribution to Alkeari is maintained.
  • All terms of this Agreement are followed.
  • The Licensor reserves the right to revoke permission for any use or distribution by written notice. Upon such notice, the Licensee must cease all distribution and remove all copies within seven (7) days.

6. Source Integrity

The only verified distributions of the Work(s) are through Official Sources. Unverified or mirrored copies are unauthorized and must be deleted immediately upon discovery.

7. Revocation & Termination

The Licensor may revoke or terminate this license at any time, for any reason. Upon notification, the Licensee must:

  • Cease all use and distribution immediately.
  • Permanently delete all copies of the Work(s), including backups, within seven (7) days.

Violation of any condition in this Agreement automatically terminates the license without further notice. This clause survives termination.

8. Disclaimer of Warranty

THE WORK(S) ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. The Licensor does not guarantee that the Work(s) will function without interruption, error, or incompatibility. The Licensee uses the Work(s) entirely at their own risk.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE WORK(S). The Licensor's total liability shall not exceed the greater of one U.S. dollar (USD $1.00) or the amount paid directly to obtain the Work(s), if any. Where mandatory consumer-protection law applicable to the Licensee limits the extent to which liability may be excluded or capped, this Section applies only to the maximum extent such law permits, and the remainder of this Agreement remains in full effect.

10. Indemnification

The Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Licensor from any claim, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from the Licensee's breach of this Agreement or misuse of the Work(s).

11. Assignment

The Licensor may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction. The Licensee may not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any right or obligation under it, without the Licensor's prior written consent.

12. Force Majeure

The Licensor is not liable for any failure or delay in performance under this Agreement caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including outages, platform or third-party service failures, or events of nature.

13. Support & Contributions

The Licensor is under no obligation to provide updates, maintenance, or technical support. Bug reports and suggestions may be submitted through any official contact channel recognized by the Licensor. Submitted contributions do not confer co-ownership or contributor rights unless agreed to in writing.

14. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Davidson County, Tennessee, except where mandatory law of the Licensee's home jurisdiction requires otherwise.

15. Entire Agreement

This Agreement represents the full and final terms between the Licensor and Licensee regarding the Work(s). If any clause is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining clauses remain in effect. No modification or waiver is valid unless made in writing and signed by the Licensor.
