"You" or "your" refers to any individual or legal entity that downloads, installs, accesses, or uses the Software or the Website Content. If you accept this Agreement on behalf of an entity, "you" includes that entity, and you state that you have authority to bind it.

Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, Stryx Labs grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, revocable license to:

1. (a) download the Software from Official Channels;
2. (b) install the Software on any computing device that you own or control, in any quantity, without per-seat fee or activation requirement;

6. (f) view the Website Content in a web browser for your personal, non-commercial information, and link to pages of the Official Channels.

This license is a right to USE only. It grants no ownership of the Software or the Website Content, no right to copy them except the copies that installation, normal operation, and your own private backups on devices you own or control technically require, and no right to modify them.

No license fee, subscription, activation key, or registration is required for the rights granted above. The Software is provided to you at no cost.

You may NOT, and you may not permit, help, or instruct any third party or any AI Model to:

1. (a) USE BEYOND THE LICENSE. Claim any ownership of the Software or the Website Content; copy, reproduce, download in bulk, or store any part of them except as section 2 expressly permits; or modify, edit, patch, or alter any part of them, including Skill Content, Brain Data, scripts, and hooks;

Rebrand, white-label, rename, or re-skin the Software or any part of it; remove, replace, or obscure the Stryx Labs name, Trademarks, credits, or notices; or present, publish, sell, or describe the Software, any part of it (including any skill, agent, prompt, the brain, or any site design, 3D scene, or page), or any Derivative Work, as your own work or under any name other than the Stryx Labs name;
3. (c) MISUSE. Use the Software or the Website Content (i) in violation of applicable law; (ii) to cause harm to any person, system, or data, including malware, fraud, harassment, or unauthorized access; (iii) against Stryx Labs, including to attack, disrupt, overload, or probe the Official Channels or to harm its reputation through false statements; (iv) to impersonate Stryx Labs, its founders, or its products; (v) to state or suggest any endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or partnership with Stryx Labs that does not exist in writing; (vi) in connection with the development of weapons of mass destruction; or (vii) in life-critical systems where failure could result in death or serious bodily harm, or in any manner that infringes the rights of any third party;
4. (d) SHARE OR REDISTRIBUTE. Redistribute, republish, post, upload, mirror, share, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, or otherwise transfer or make available copies of the Software or any portion of it (including any single skill, agent, prompt, or file) to any third party, by any means, including without limitation via public or private code repositories, package repositories, mirror sites, cloud storage, file-sharing links, forums, chat groups, marketplaces, prompt libraries, peer-to-peer networks, container registries, or installation scripts hosted on infrastructure other than Official Channels;
5. (e) TRAIN OR FEED AI MODELS. Use the Software, the Website Content, or any part of either (i) to build, train, fine-tune, distill, evaluate, benchmark, or improve any AI Model; (ii) to create, add to, or sell any dataset, corpus, embedding index, or prompt collection; or (iii) as input to an AI Model for the purpose of reproducing, summarizing, paraphrasing, or recreating it. This does not stop you from running the Software as designed inside the AI tools it is built for, on your own work;
6. (f) MAKE DERIVATIVE WORKS. Create, publish, or distribute any Derivative Work, including any paraphrased, rewritten, translated, summarized, reorganized, or re-implemented version of any Skill Content, Brain Data, documentation, or Website Content, whether made by hand or with the help of an AI Model;

12. (l) BYPASS PROTECTIONS. Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any technical measure that controls access to or protects the Software or the Website Content, including install checks, integrity checks, rate limits, and bot controls.

Any use not expressly permitted by section 2 is prohibited. Any attempt to do anything listed in this section is a material breach of this Agreement.

The Software is licensed, not sold. All right, title, and interest in and to the Software and the Website Content, including all copyrights, trade secret rights, trademark rights, and other intellectual property rights, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Stryx Labs and its licensors. This Agreement does not grant you any ownership interest in the Software or the Website Content.

Some parts of the Software, such as Skill Content, are delivered as text files that a person can read once installed. Being able to read a file does not make it public, free to copy, or free to reuse. Those files are licensed to you for Use only, under all the restrictions of section 3.

The source code of the compiled parts of the Software is proprietary and confidential to Stryx Labs and is not publicly distributed.

Any Derivative Work made in breach of this Agreement, and all rights in it, are owned by Stryx Labs to the fullest extent permitted by law, and you hereby assign those rights to Stryx Labs.

If you send Stryx Labs suggestions, ideas, or feedback, Stryx Labs may use them freely, without obligation to you.

The Trademarks are the exclusive property of Stryx Labs. All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Stryx Labs.

As between you and Stryx Labs, the Output that the Software produces for you belongs to you, and you may use it for any lawful purpose, including commercial purposes, without restriction from Stryx Labs.

This section does not let you use Output as a way around section 3. Output that copies, reproduces, or paraphrases any part of the Software (for example, a skill's text placed into another product, or a list of the Software's prompts) is not Output for the purposes of this section and remains subject to section 3.

The non-public parts of the Software, including its source code, Skill Content, Brain Data, internal file formats, and any material marked or described as confidential, are confidential information of Stryx Labs ("Confidential Information"). You must keep Confidential Information confidential, use it only to Use the Software, and protect it with at least reasonable care. You must not disclose it to any third party or to any AI Model or online service that may store, publish, or learn from it, except as running the Software as designed requires.

These duties do not apply to information that you can show (a) was public through no breach by you, (b) you knew before receiving it from Stryx Labs, without a duty of confidence, or (c) you must disclose by law, after giving Stryx Labs prompt notice where the law allows.

Some parts of the Software may include or be adapted from third-party material licensed under open-source or other licenses, as listed in the third-party notices that accompany the Software. Those parts are governed by their own licenses to the extent those licenses require, and nothing in this Agreement limits any right those licenses give you in those parts. The rest of the Software, including the selection, arrangement, and original material of Stryx Labs, remains governed by this Agreement.

Stryx Labs may, at its sole discretion, release updates, patches, bug fixes, new features, and new versions of the Software. Such releases may be governed by the same Agreement or by an updated agreement supplied with the release.

You are not obligated to install any update. You may continue to use any version of the Software you have previously installed under the terms of the Agreement effective at the time of that installation, subject to section 9.

Stryx Labs may, at its sole discretion, discontinue, withdraw, recall, or unpublish any version of the Software, in which case you must cease use of the affected version within a reasonable period if so requested.

This Agreement remains in effect until terminated.

This Agreement and all rights granted to you under it will terminate automatically and without notice if you breach any term of this Agreement.

Stryx Labs may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by providing reasonable notice through Official Channels.

Upon termination, you must immediately:

1. (a) cease all use of the Software and the Website Content;
2. (b) destroy all copies of the Software, and of any part or Derivative Work of the Software or the Website Content, in your possession or control, including copies held in repositories, cloud storage, backups, datasets, and AI Models or indexes that you control;
3. (c) certify in writing such destruction within ten (10) days if requested by Stryx Labs.

Termination does not limit any other right or remedy of Stryx Labs.

The provisions of sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 survive termination.

The Software is designed to run entirely on your local computing device. Stryx Labs does not collect telemetry, usage data, error reports, code content, or any other personal or proprietary data from the Software's ordinary operation. Network connections, if any, are initiated only at your explicit request (for example, to check for updates).

Information you voluntarily provide to Stryx Labs (such as by emailing [email protected]) is subject to the Stryx Labs Privacy Policy available at stryxlabs.com.

THE SOFTWARE AND THE WEBSITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, STRYX LABS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, COMPATIBLE WITH ANY SPECIFIC HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE, FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE PROVIDED BY STRYX LABS OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL STRYX LABS, ITS OFFICERS, FOUNDERS, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, USE, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF STRYX LABS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF STRYX LABS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$0.00. BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AT NO COST, THIS LIMIT IS INTENDED AND ACCEPTED BY THE PARTIES.

This section limits the liability of Stryx Labs only. It does not limit your liability for breach of sections 3, 4, or 6, or under section 13.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Stryx Labs, its founders, contractors, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

1. (a) your use of the Software or the Website Content in violation of this Agreement, including any breach of section 3;
2. (b) your violation of any applicable law in connection with your use of the Software or the Website Content;
3. (c) your infringement of any third party's rights in connection with your use of the Software or its Output.

EQUITABLE RELIEF. You agree that a breach of sections 3, 4, or 6 would cause Stryx Labs irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Stryx Labs is therefore entitled to an injunction, specific performance, and other equitable relief to stop or prevent any such breach, in addition to any other remedy, without the need to prove actual damages and, to the extent permitted by law, without posting a bond or other security.

ATTORNEYS' FEES. If Stryx Labs brings any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or to protect its rights in the Software or the Website Content and obtains any relief, you must pay Stryx Labs its reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and expenses of collection.

OTHER RIGHTS PRESERVED. A breach of this Agreement may also infringe the copyright, trademark, and other rights of Stryx Labs. Nothing in this Agreement limits any right or remedy that Stryx Labs has under copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition, or other law.

COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION. On written request from Stryx Labs, made no more than once in any twelve-month period unless Stryx Labs has reasonable grounds to believe a breach has occurred, you must within fifteen (15) days certify in writing that your use of the Software complies with this Agreement, and give reasonable information needed to confirm it.

NOTICE AND TAKEDOWN. If Stryx Labs notifies you that material you posted, hosted, or control copies or infringes the Software or the Website Content, you must remove it or disable access to it promptly, and in any case within five (5) business days. You agree that Stryx Labs may send copyright infringement notices, including notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, to any host, platform, marketplace, search engine, or service provider that holds such material, and you will not send a counter-notice for material that you know breaches this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States of America, and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New Jersey, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of and exclusive venue in those courts. Stryx Labs may, however, seek an injunction or other equitable relief under section 14 in any court of competent jurisdiction.

ACCEPTANCE. You accept this Agreement when you first download, install, run, access, or use the Software, or access or use the Website Content. Running an install command from an Official Channel counts as installing.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Stryx Labs regarding the Software and the Website Content and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, and representations, whether oral or written.

CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT. Stryx Labs may publish a new version of this Agreement on Official Channels. A new version applies to software releases supplied with it and to your use of the Website Content after it is published. Section 8 governs versions you installed earlier.

ASSIGNMENT. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Stryx Labs. Stryx Labs may assign this Agreement at its discretion. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.

SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

WAIVER. The failure of Stryx Labs to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. A waiver is effective only if it is in writing from Stryx Labs.

NO AGENCY. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or franchise relationship between you and Stryx Labs.

HEADINGS. Section headings are for convenience only and do not change the meaning of any section.

NOTICES. Stryx Labs may provide notices to you by posting on Official Channels or by email to an address you have provided. You may provide notices to Stryx Labs by email to [email protected].

REPORTING MISUSE. Anyone who finds the Software, any part of it, or the Website Content copied, republished, rebranded, sold, used to train an AI Model, or otherwise used in breach of this Agreement may report it to Stryx Labs at the email address below. A useful report includes:

1. (a) the web address (URL) or other location of the material;
2. (b) what was copied or misused, and where it appears on the Official Channels or in the Software;
3. (c) the date it was found, and a screenshot or saved copy if available;
4. (d) the reporter's name and email address, so Stryx Labs can follow up.

Stryx Labs reviews each report and decides what action to take under section 14. Stryx Labs does not promise a reply to every report.

PERMISSIONS. Any use that this Agreement does not permit, such as quoting Skill Content in a publication, needs prior written permission from Stryx Labs. Permission is valid only if it is in writing and names the use.
