Draft v1 — not approved for publication or legal reliance
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE] Licensor: [LICENSOR LEGAL NAME AND ADDRESS] Contact: [SUPPORT EMAIL]
This FIXTracer Technical Preview Evaluation License Agreement (the “Agreement”) governs your use of the FIXTracer software identified as a Public Technical Preview, including its documentation and bundled synthetic examples (collectively, the “Software”).
1. Acceptance and authority
By downloading, installing, copying, or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you use the Software for an organization, you represent that you have authority to accept this Agreement for that organization. If you do not agree, do not download, install, copy, or use the Software.
2. Limited evaluation license
Subject to this Agreement, Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Free Technical Preview for internal evaluation and one-off local triage of explicitly selected files.
You may use generated HTML and JSON reports internally for evaluation and one-off triage, including sharing them with people authorized to access the underlying log data. Generated reports may contain sensitive information and must be protected under the same controls as the source logs.
This limited artifact-sharing permission does not authorize team deployment, repeated operational use, support/client-ready deliverables, or integration of the Software into internal tools.
Pro features, team deployment, repeated operational use, scheduled workflows, directory or corpus processing, integration into internal tools, and reliance on FIXTracer as part of production support require separate authorization from Licensor. A Pro license file enables only the features and period stated in that license; it does not transfer ownership of the Software.
3. Restrictions
Except where applicable law does not permit the restriction, you may not:
- sell, rent, lease, sublicense, redistribute, or commercially host the Software;
- provide the Software as a service bureau, hosted parser, or other service for third parties;
- bypass, disable, or interfere with license checks or technical restrictions;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits;
- remove proprietary notices; or
- use the Software in violation of law or third-party rights.
This Agreement does not prohibit you from inspecting your own input data or the evidence shown in a generated report.
4. Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Software, including all intellectual property rights. No rights are granted except those expressly stated in this Agreement. Third-party components remain subject to their applicable license terms.
5. Your data and local processing
As between you and Licensor, you retain your rights in data that you provide to the Software. The current core commands run locally against local files and do not transmit FIX logs, generated artifacts, or telemetry to Licensor. Installing the Software may contact the package index or source selected by you.
You are responsible for obtaining permission to process input data, using an approved machine and directory, protecting generated artifacts, and complying with your organization’s data-handling requirements. Do not upload production logs to public issue trackers, hosted demos, or public feedback channels.
6. Technical Preview status
The Software is prerelease evaluation software. It may be incomplete, contain errors, change without backward compatibility, or be discontinued. FIX and anomaly coverage is partial. Output is not compliance-certified, audit-certified, or legally authoritative and must not be used as the sole basis for trading, routing, regulatory, compliance, or other material decisions. You are responsible for independently verifying output against the source evidence.
Licensor does not promise availability, support, maintenance, security fixes, service levels, or continued access unless separately agreed in writing.
7. Feedback
Feedback is optional. If you provide feedback, you grant Licensor a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use and incorporate that feedback without restriction or compensation. Do not include confidential information or raw production logs unless you are authorized to disclose them and Licensor has agreed to receive them through an approved private channel.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SOFTWARE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND RESULTS. LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR SUITABLE FOR PRODUCTION USE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE, OUTPUT, OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE, OUTPUT, OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID LICENSOR FOR THE SOFTWARE DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) US$100.
The limitations in this section do not apply where applicable law prohibits them.
10. Term and termination
This Agreement begins when you first download, install, copy, or use the Software. You may terminate it by stopping use and deleting all copies of the Software in your possession or control. Licensor may terminate this Agreement if you materially breach it. On termination, your license ends and you must stop using and delete the Software. Sections 3 through 13 survive termination to the extent their nature requires.
11. Export and sanctions compliance
You must comply with applicable export-control and sanctions laws. You may not export, re-export, transfer, or use the Software where prohibited by applicable law.
12. Governing law and disputes
This Agreement is governed by the laws of [GOVERNING JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts located in [EXCLUSIVE VENUE] will have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party consents to that jurisdiction and venue. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
13. General
This Agreement and any separate written Pro authorization are the entire agreement about the Software and replace prior discussions on that subject. If a separate written Pro agreement conflicts with this Agreement, the separate written agreement controls for the covered Pro use. You may not assign this Agreement without Licensor’s prior written consent. Licensor may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of the Software. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain effective. A waiver must be in writing and applies only to the specific instance waived.
Licensor may publish terms for a later Software version, but revised terms do not retroactively replace this version of the Agreement unless you expressly agree or applicable law permits the change.
14. Contact
Questions about this Agreement or the Technical Preview may be sent to [SUPPORT EMAIL].
Human/legal review must supply and approve the licensor identity, effective date, support address, governing law, venue, and final liability language before this draft is published or packaged with the Software.
