VIGIL COMMERCIAL LICENSE

Version 1.1 — July 2026

This license governs use of the Vigil source code ("the Software").
By purchasing a license or otherwise obtaining the Software you agree
to these terms. The Software is source-available and commercially
licensed; it is not open-source.


1. THE LICENSE

One purchase grants one company (or one individual) — the "Licensee" —
a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to:

   (a) Use the Software to build and operate applications for the
       Licensee's own business, with unlimited production deployments,
       environments, monitored services and end users.

   (b) Modify the Software without restriction and keep those
       modifications private. There is no copyleft obligation.

   (c) Deliver an application built on the Software to one external
       client per purchased license, provided the client receives it
       as a working product (deployed instance and/or its source) and
       not as a development kit for resale. Agencies serving multiple
       clients purchase one license per client.


2. WHAT THE LICENSE DOES NOT PERMIT

   (a) Redistributing, reselling, sublicensing, open-sourcing or
       otherwise publishing the Software or a substantial portion of
       its source code.

   (b) Offering the Software, modified or not, as a competing
       boilerplate, starter kit, template or code-generation product.

   (c) Sharing repository access outside the Licensee's employees and
       contractors working on the Licensee's projects.

   (d) Removing the NOTICE file from development copies of the source.


3. UPDATES

The purchase includes all updates published for major version 1 for at
least 12 months from the purchase date. Versions you have already
obtained remain licensed forever.


4. OWNERSHIP

The Software remains the intellectual property of its author. Your
applications, branding, data and modifications are yours.


5. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY

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 NONINFRINGEMENT.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER
LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE. THE AUTHOR'S TOTAL
LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE LICENSE FEE PAID.


6. TERMINATION

This license terminates automatically if you materially breach
section 2 and do not cure the breach within 14 days of written notice.
Production instances deployed in good faith before termination may
continue to run.


7. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

Dependencies installed from public registries (npm) remain under their
own licenses and are not covered by this license.


Edge cases (subsidiaries, client handoffs, studio structures): contact
the author via the support channel on your purchase receipt.
