HOM3 v1 — End User License Agreement

Version 1.1 — 2026 · The Author

Plain-English summary (not a substitute for the terms below)

You bought HOM3. Your copy is yours, forever. It runs on your machine, needs no account, and will never be remotely disabled, expired, or locked. You may not redistribute it, resell copies, or use it to build a competing product. It is provided as-is: the Author ships patches at his discretion and owes no ongoing service. Future major versions are optional paid upgrades — declining them never takes away what you have. Personal use (including a business of one) is covered; companies and teams need a commercial license. The AI acts under your authority and your responsibility. Your license file is personal — don’t publish or share it; updates are checked on our server when you ask for them, and your installed software itself never phones home and can never be disabled.

1. The license

1.1 Grant. Upon payment of the one-time license fee, the Author grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use one copy of HOM3 v1 (the “Software”) on hardware you own or control, for your personal use and the use of your household.

1.2 Perpetual means perpetual. This license does not expire, is not contingent on any account, server, activation service, or continued relationship with the Author. The Software contains no remote-disable mechanism, and the Author commits never to remotely terminate, degrade, or lock your licensed copy. License validation, where present, operates locally.

1.3 Business of one. “Personal use” includes use by a sole proprietor or single individual operating their own business. Companies, teams, and any deployment for more than one working seat require a commercial license (Section 8).

1.4 Your copy, not the work. This license conveys ownership of your copy, in the sense that no one — including the Author — may take it from you. It does not convey ownership of the Software itself, its source code, or any intellectual property in it, all of which the Author retains in full.

2. What you may do

(a) Install and run the Software on machines you own or control, including offline and air-gapped machines.
(b) Back up, archive, and restore your copy without limit.
(c) Use every feature of the Software, including connecting it to model providers, keys, and services of your choosing at your own expense and risk.
(d) Use output you create with the Software (documents, media, clips, streams, records) freely — your output is yours.
(e) Transfer your license once, permanently and in whole, to another person, provided you delete all your copies and the recipient accepts this EULA. (One owner at a time.)

3. What you may not do

(a) Redistribute, publish, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or host the Software for others, in whole or in part.
(b) Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except to the extent a law expressly permits despite this term.
(c) Remove or alter proprietary notices, license terms, or provenance and signing mechanisms within the Software.
(d) Use the Software to develop, train, or improve a competing product, or extract components for use in other software.
(e) Use the Software for unlawful purposes. (What is unlawful is a matter for your jurisdiction and your responsibility.)

4. The AI, your authority, your responsibility

4.1 Architecture of authority. The Software is designed so that artificial-intelligence components prepare actions and act only through gates under your control, within bounds you configure. You are the root of trust. No safety warranties or guarantees are implied.

4.2 Your responsibility. Because authority lives with you, so does responsibility. You are solely responsible for: the actions you authorize or configure the Software’s AI to take; content you publish, send, trade, or broadcast through it; the bounds you set on any autonomous operation; and compliance with the laws, platform terms, and regulations that apply to your use. The Author is not responsible for outcomes of actions taken under your authority.

4.3 Honest attempt, not a guarantee. The Software’s rails, gates, and audit mechanisms are engineered safeguards, made in good faith and described accurately in its documentation. They are not a warranty that any AI system is incapable of error or misuse. Limited extensions or edits for personal use are permitted in good faith. You remain the operator.

4.4 Third-party models and services. If you connect external model providers or services, their terms, costs, conduct, and availability are between you and them. The Author neither provides nor warrants them.

5. As-is: no warranty, no service obligation

5.1 THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE IS ERROR-FREE OR THAT OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED.

5.2 No service obligation. The Author may, at his sole discretion, release patches, fixes, or improvements to the version line you purchased, and when released they are provided to you at no charge. The Author has no obligation to provide patches, support, maintenance, or services of any kind. The Software is a product, not a service.

5.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions; where a warranty cannot be excluded, it is limited to the minimum scope and duration the law allows.

6. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) THE AUTHOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST FUNDS OR DIGITAL ASSETS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS EULA, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY; AND (b) THE AUTHOR’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE LICENSE.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THE SOFTWARE CAN INTERACT WITH FINANCIAL NETWORKS, DIGITAL-ASSET WALLETS, AND LIVE COMMUNICATIONS UNDER YOUR CONFIGURATION AND AUTHORITY; ALL SUCH USE IS AT YOUR RISK.

7. Versions and upgrades

7.1 What you bought. Your license covers HOM3 v1, the version line identified at purchase, including any patches the Author releases for it (Section 5.2).

7.2 Optional upgrades. The Author may offer future major versions or feature releases for a new fee, a reduced upgrade fee, or free, at his discretion. Every such offer is optional.

7.3 The no-lockout commitment. Declining any upgrade never reduces, expires, or disables what you already have. Your licensed version remains yours and remains functional as shipped, perpetually, per Section 1.2.

8. Commercial licensing

Use by a company, organization, or team — including deployment for multiple working seats, use by employees or contractors in the course of an organization’s work, or hosting for an organization’s benefit — requires a separate commercial license from the Author. Operating under this personal EULA in such a setting is a violation of this license. Commercial inquiries: updates@identitytrusts.org.

9. Privacy (the short version, because there isn’t a long one)

The Software is local-first by design. It transmits no telemetry, analytics, or usage data to the Author. The Author receives nothing from your installation. Connections the Software makes are those you configure, surfaced for your inspection within the Software itself.

10. Termination

10.1 By you: stop using and delete the Software at any time.

10.2 By the Author: only for material breach of Sections 3 or 8 that remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice. Termination for breach ends the license grant; Sections 4–6 and 11 survive. The Author has no technical means, and reserves none, to disable your copy — termination is a legal remedy, not a kill switch.

11. General

11.1 Entire agreement; severability; no waiver by inaction.
11.2 Governing law and venue: the State of California, USA, courts of San Diego County, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
11.3 Assignment: the Author may assign this EULA to a successor entity that honors its commitments (including Sections 1.2 and 7.3) in full.
11.4 If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stands, and the unenforceable provision is reformed to the minimum extent needed.

12. The license file and updates

12.1 The license file. At purchase the Author issues you a digitally signed license file identifying you as the licensee. Your copy of the Software verifies it locally and offline; the file’s presence, absence, or invalidity never alters the Software’s function beyond the displayed license status (Sections 1.2, 4.3).

12.2 Personal to you. The license file is personal to you. You may not publish, share, or distribute it. Private backups for your own use remain unlimited (Section 2(b)).

12.3 Update entitlement. Patches under Section 5.2 are delivered through the Author’s update channel to holders of valid license files, verified at download time on the Author’s server. The installed Software itself never contacts the Author. The Author may withdraw update entitlement for a license file that has been published, shared, or resold contrary to this EULA; such withdrawal never affects, degrades, or disables your installed Software (Sections 1.2 and 10.2 control — there is no technical means to do so, and none is reserved).

12.4 Transfer. A permanent transfer under Section 2(e) includes the license: the transferor requests reissuance in the recipient’s name, after which the original file’s update entitlement ends and the recipient’s begins.

12.5 Privacy of updates. Your installation transmits nothing (Section 9). Requesting an update is a voluntary request to the Author’s server and necessarily conveys your license file and ordinary connection metadata; the Author uses these only to verify entitlement and deliver the update, and retains nothing further from your machine.

Acceptance

Installing or using the Software constitutes acceptance of this EULA. If you do not accept it, do not install the Software; a refund within the stated refund window, where offered at purchase, applies.
