End-User License Agreement

1. Agreement

This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a binding contract between you (an individual or a single entity, "you") and Cenova Spark LLC, the company behind AddisDB and CenovaSpark ("we", "us", "our"), governing your use of the AddisDB desktop application and any updates, documentation, online or team services, and related materials (collectively, the "Software").

This Agreement applies to all use of the Software, whether you obtained it free of charge, on a trial, evaluation, or beta basis, or through a paid plan or subscription, and whether or not any payment is or ever was involved. The Software is licensed, not sold — no payment is required for this Agreement to apply.

If you use the Software on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement for that organization, and “you” includes that organization. By clicking “I Agree”, installing, or using the Software, you accept this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

2. License grant

Subject to this Agreement and, for paid plans, to any applicable order or subscription terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, solely for your own personal use or internal business purposes. This license applies whether the Software is provided free of charge or under a paid plan, and it may be suspended or revoked as described in this Agreement.

3. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Software only for lawful purposes and in accordance with this Agreement. You may not, and may not permit anyone else to, use the Software:

• in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any third party’s rights;
• to access, copy, alter, exfiltrate, or interfere with any database, system, or data you are not authorized to access;
• in any manner that we reasonably determine to be unlawful, unethical, immoral, abusive, deceptive, infringing, or harmful to others; or
• to develop, train, or operate any product or service that competes with the Software.

We may determine, in our sole and reasonable discretion, that a use violates this section, and may act under Section 15 (Term and termination) accordingly — including with respect to any individual, team, organization, or company.

4. Ethics and human rights

AddisDB and CenovaSpark are anti-slavery, anti-human-trafficking, and anti-supremacy. We do not tolerate — and we use commercially reasonable efforts to keep our business and supply chain free from — slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced or child labor. We reject supremacism, hate, and violent extremism, including any ideology or conduct that demeans, targets, or incites harm against people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.

You may not use the Software to promote, facilitate, fund, or carry out any of the above, to exploit or endanger children, or to harass, threaten, or incite violence against any person or group. We treat any such use as a material breach and may act on it immediately under Section 15 (Term and termination), including with respect to any individual, team, organization, or company.

5. Restrictions

Except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law, you may not, and may not permit anyone else to:

• copy, redistribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, host, or otherwise make the Software available to any third party;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, structure, or algorithms of the Software;
• modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
• remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice;
• share, publish, resell, or disclose any license key, seat, activation, or access credential we issue to you;
• use the Software to build or assist in building a competing product or service; or
• circumvent, disable, tamper with, or interfere with any licensing, activation, security, entitlement, or update mechanism.

6. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold, whether or not you pay any fee. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all copies, modifications, and derivatives, and all intellectual property rights. No rights are granted except as expressly stated here. "AddisDB" and "CenovaSpark", and associated logos, are our trademarks; this Agreement grants you no rights to use them.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or obligation to you.

7. Paid plans, subscriptions, and team access

Some features — such as team, collaboration, and sharing features — may require a paid plan or subscription and may be offered on a per-seat or per-user basis. Fees, billing terms, and the scope of paid features are described at the point of purchase or in a separate order, which forms part of this Agreement. Paid features are licensed, not sold, on the same terms as the rest of the Software.

You are responsible for all fees for your account and seats. We may add, change, or discontinue paid features and pricing, and we may suspend, revoke, or reduce seats or access for non-payment, at the end of a subscription term, or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement — including for any individual, team, organization, or company.

8. Your data, databases, and credentials

The Software connects to databases that you configure. You are solely responsible for your data and for having the right to access every database you connect to. Connection details and credentials are stored locally on your device; we do not require you to transmit them to us.

8a. The integrated terminal and local command execution

The Software includes an integrated terminal. Once you enable it, it runs commands on your computer through a real shell with your own operating-system privileges. AddisDB does not sandbox, restrict, or review what you run in it, and the terminal is not limited by a connection’s read-only or environment (for example, production) settings — a shell you launch opens its own connections outside the Software’s safeguards.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY COMMAND YOU RUN IN THE TERMINAL AND FOR ITS CONSEQUENCES, INCLUDING ANY EFFECT ON YOUR DATA, SYSTEMS, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. The Software does not enter database or other passwords into the terminal on your behalf. The terminal is disabled until you enable it and accept the disclosure shown in the application.

9. AI features and third-party services

The Software can generate SQL, migrations, and mock data using artificial intelligence and can connect to third-party services (including AI providers) that you configure with your own accounts and API keys. Your use of those services is governed by their terms, and you are responsible for any data you choose to send to them and for any fees they charge.

AI-GENERATED OUTPUT MAY BE INCORRECT, INCOMPLETE, OR UNSAFE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING EVERY QUERY, MIGRATION, OR OTHER ACTION BEFORE YOU EXECUTE IT, ESPECIALLY AGAINST PRODUCTION SYSTEMS, AND FOR MAINTAINING YOUR OWN BACKUPS. We do not warrant that any generated output is accurate, safe, or fit for any purpose.

10. Third-party and open-source components

The Software includes third-party and open-source components, including database drivers, that are provided under their own license terms. Those terms govern your use of those components and, where required, are included in the Software’s documentation or notices. You are responsible for complying with them, and you may need to accept a driver’s or provider’s own terms before first use.

11. Updates

The Software may automatically check for, download, and install updates. You consent to these automatic updates. Updated versions are governed by this Agreement unless a new agreement accompanies them.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT IT WILL NOT CAUSE LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR DATABASE CONTENT, OR FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR USD $50. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Reservation of rights; changes

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Software, or any feature of it, in whole or in part, at any time, and we may change our pricing. We may also revise this Agreement; if we make a material change, the updated version will be presented for your acceptance or made available with the affected release, and your continued use of the Software after it takes effect constitutes acceptance.

15. Term and termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by ceasing all use of the Software and deleting all copies in your possession or control.

We may, in our sole discretion and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, suspend, disable, revoke, or terminate your license and your access to the Software — in whole or in part, and with respect to any individual, team, organization, or company — immediately and with or without notice, if: (a) you breach this Agreement; (b) any fees due to us are unpaid; or (c) we reasonably determine that the Software is being used in a manner that is unlawful, or that we consider unethical, immoral, abusive, or otherwise objectionable. For features that depend on our online, cloud, team, collaboration, or sharing services, we may disable or revoke access remotely.

On termination, all rights granted to you end immediately, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies, and any online or team access may cease. Termination does not entitle you to any refund except where required by law. Sections 3–14 and 16, together with any payment obligations accrued before termination, survive termination.

16. General

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and waive any objection to venue there. You are responsible for complying with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws, and you may not use or export the Software in violation of them. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Software and supersedes any prior understanding.
