1. GRANT OF LICENSE

   This software and associated documentation ("PULSE") is licensed, not sold.
   Subject to payment of applicable fees and compliance with these terms, the
   licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable
   license to install and use PULSE for your internal purposes only.

3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

   PULSE, including but not limited to its persistent memory architecture,

4. DATA PRIVACY

      rates) may be collected to improve PULSE. No code, prompts, or brain
      content is included in telemetry.

5. SUBSCRIPTION & TRIAL

   a) PULSE offers a 7-day free trial with full functionality.
   b) After trial expiry, brain data is preserved in read-only mode.
      Extraction, swarm, and daemon features are disabled until a valid
      subscription is activated.
   c) Subscription fees, tiers, and terms are published at the licensor's
      official website and may be updated with 30 days' notice.

6. TERMINATION

   This license terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms.
   Upon termination, you must cease all use of PULSE and delete all copies.
   Your brain data remains yours; you may export it before deletion.

7. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

   PULSE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
   IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,

   PAID FOR PULSE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

9. GOVERNING LAW
