1. Grant of License
Subject to compliance with this License, Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:
(a) use the SDK solely to develop, test, and operate integrations with Licensor's Cerone services;
(b) reproduce and distribute the SDK only as embedded within your application in object form, where end users cannot reasonably extract the SDK as a standalone developer tool.

2. Ownership and Intellectual Property
The SDK is licensed, not sold. Licensor retains all right, title, and interest in and to the SDK, including all intellectual property rights, trade secrets, and derivative works.

3. Restrictions
You may not, and may not permit others to:

(b) modify, create derivative works of, or redistribute the SDK source code, except with Licensor's prior written permission;
(c) remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices;
(d) use the SDK or Cerone services to build, train, benchmark, validate, or improve any competing product or service, including competitive analysis intended for publication or commercialization;
(e) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, translate, decode, or otherwise attempt to derive source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, model behavior, scoring logic, thresholds, prompts, or non-public APIs, except to the limited extent such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law;
(f) attempt model extraction, prompt extraction, dataset extraction, or systematic output analysis intended to replicate Cerone functionality;
(g) attempt to discover or reconstruct non-public service internals, infrastructure, security controls, or backend implementation details through unauthorized means, including probing, scraping, fuzzing, or penetration activity without prior written authorization from Licensor;
(h) circumvent or attempt to circumvent usage limits, authentication controls, billing controls, access restrictions, anti-abuse controls, or monitoring controls.

4. Service Terms and Quotas
Use of the Cerone service APIs is subject to separate service terms, usage quotas, and pricing published by Licensor. Licensor may suspend or terminate API access for abuse, non-payment, security risk, or license breach. Current introductory quota is described in the Terms of Service and may change from time to time.

5. Confidentiality
Any non-public technical information, performance information, keys, or implementation details disclosed by Licensor are confidential and must not be disclosed to third parties.

6. Feedback
If you provide feedback, suggestions, or improvement ideas, you grant Licensor a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them without restriction or compensation.

7. Disclaimer
THE SDK IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR REVENUE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. LICENSOR'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SDK WILL NOT EXCEED USD $100.

9. Termination
This License is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach any term. Upon termination, you must cease use of the SDK and destroy all copies in your possession or control.
