rt-analyzer COMMERCIAL LICENCE AGREEMENT
© 2026 Haithem Jebali. All rights reserved.

This agreement governs your use of rt-analyzer when a valid licence key issued
by the Licensor is present. It is concluded between Haithem Jebali (the
"Licensor") and the organisation named as licensee in that key ("you").


1. DEFINITIONS

  "Licence Key"  The signed text file issued to you. It records the licensee,
                 the Edition, the Seat count, the term, and the features
                 enabled. The key is the authoritative statement of scope: if
                 this agreement and the key disagree, the key governs.

  "Seat"         One named individual who runs analyses. Seats are personal to
                 that individual and may be reassigned permanently when they
                 change role, but not shared or rotated between people.

  "Target Host"  Any machine analysed. The number of Target Hosts is NOT
                 limited under any Edition.

  "Edition"      Pro, Team or Enterprise, as recorded in the Licence Key.

  "Maintenance
   Window"       For perpetual licences, the period during which you are
                 entitled to new releases, as recorded in the Licence Key.


2. GRANT

Subject to payment and to these terms, the Licensor grants you a
non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence, for the term stated in the
Licence Key, to install and run the software on any number of Target Hosts, to
be used by no more than the number of Seats stated in the Licence Key, for your
internal business purposes, including analysis performed for your own clients.


3. TERM

  (a) Subscription. The licence runs for the period stated in the Licence Key
      and lapses at its end unless renewed. A grace period applies after
      expiry, during which the software continues to operate in full and warns
      that the licence has lapsed. After that the software reverts to the
      Community Edition. IT DOES NOT STOP WORKING, AND IT DOES NOT REFUSE TO
      ANALYSE A SYSTEM.

  (b) Perpetual. The licence does not expire. You may use any release built
      within the Maintenance Window, in perpetuity, on any number of machines,
      irrespective of the system clock. Releases built after the Maintenance
      Window require renewed maintenance.


4. SEATS

Seat counts are recorded in the Licence Key and printed in reports for your own
audit purposes. They are not enforced at runtime: the software performs no
network communication and cannot count your users. You agree to hold a Seat for
each individual who runs analyses, and to notify the Licensor when that number
increases beyond your Licence Key.


5. RESTRICTIONS

You may not:

  (a) modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works of the software;

  (b) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except to the
      extent this restriction is unenforceable under applicable law
      (in Germany, § 69e UrhG remains unaffected);

  (c) remove, obscure or alter any copyright notice, licence notice, edition
      marking or report watermark, including the licensee name embedded in
      generated reports;

  (d) circumvent, disable or attempt to defeat the licence check or the
      feature gating, or forge or alter a Licence Key;

  (e) disclose, publish or share your Licence Key outside your organisation;

  (f) sublicense, rent, lease, sell, or redistribute the software, or make it
      available to third parties, except under a separate written OEM or
      redistribution agreement.


6. DELIVERY AND SUPPORT

The software is delivered as a single self-contained binary. Support is
provided by email to the address on record, at the response target for your
Edition. Support covers the current release and the one preceding it.


7. WARRANTY

The Licensor warrants that, for ninety (90) days from delivery, the software
will perform substantially as described in its accompanying documentation. If
it does not, the Licensor will, at its option and within a reasonable period,
repair or replace it; if neither succeeds, you may terminate and receive a
pro-rata refund of fees paid for the affected period. This is your exclusive
remedy for defects.

The warranty does not apply to software that has been modified, or run outside
its documented requirements.

MEASUREMENT FEATURES. Features that invoke external measurement tools
(cyclictest, rtla, hwlatdetect) report what those tools return. The Licensor
does not warrant the accuracy of third-party measurement tools, nor of any
result obtained on hardware or a kernel configuration the Licensor has not
qualified.

NOT A SAFETY QUALIFICATION. The software is a diagnostic aid. It reports on the
configuration of real-time systems, which may include systems whose failure can
cause damage to property or injury to persons. A score, verdict or
recommendation produced by the software is not a determination that any system
is fit for its purpose, and must not be used as the sole basis for one. You
remain responsible for qualifying your own systems.


8. LIABILITY

Liability is unlimited for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence,
for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act
(Produkthaftungsgesetz), and to the extent the Licensor has given a guarantee.

For simple negligence, the Licensor is liable only for breach of a material
contractual obligation -- an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper
performance of this agreement possible in the first place and on which you may
routinely rely -- and then only for damage that is foreseeable and typical for
this kind of contract.

Subject to the preceding two paragraphs, the Licensor's total aggregate
liability under this agreement is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve
(12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Any further liability is excluded. This section applies equally to the personal
liability of the Licensor's employees, agents and subcontractors.


9. TERMINATION

The Licensor may terminate for material breach not cured within thirty (30)
days of written notice. On termination you must stop using the software and
destroy all copies and Licence Keys, except that a perpetual licence properly
paid for survives termination for convenience. Sections 5, 7, 8 and 11 survive.


10. FEES AND TAXES

Fees are as quoted and are exclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes.
Where the sale is made through a merchant of record, that merchant's terms
govern payment, invoicing and tax handling.


11. GOVERNING LAW

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods. Place of jurisdiction for merchants: Ulm,
Germany.


12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This agreement together with the Licence Key is the entire agreement on its
subject matter. Your own purchase-order or procurement terms do not apply
unless the Licensor has accepted them in writing. Amendments must be in
writing.
