This Software License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legally binding agreement between you ("Licensee," "you," or "your") and JK Creative LLC ("Licensor," "JK Creative," "we," or "us") governing your use of the Curato software product. By downloading or using the Software, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not download or use the Software.

The Curato AI-powered recommendation engine in the tier you purchased (Web, Kiosk, or Full Suite), including all associated files, documentation, and any updates JK Creative may optionally provide.
"Licensee"
The individual or legal entity that purchased the Software and accepted these terms.
"Installation"
A single deployed instance of the Software running on a single server, virtual machine, or hosting environment controlled by the Licensee.

Product catalogs, customer interaction records, and any other data that the Licensee inputs into, or that is generated by, the Software during operation.

2. License Grant

Subject to your payment of the applicable one-time license fee and your compliance with all terms of this Agreement, JK Creative grants you a:

license to install and use the Software solely for your internal business purposes in connection with the retail of premium cigars.

Single Installation. One purchase = one Installation. If you require additional installations (e.g., multiple store locations, additional servers, staging environments promoted to production), each requires a separate license purchase.

4. Intellectual Property Ownership

The Software, including all source code, object code, design, architecture, documentation, trade secrets, and all intellectual property rights therein, is and shall remain the exclusive property of JK Creative LLC. This Agreement does not convey to you any title or ownership interest in the Software, only a limited right to use it as expressly described herein.

JK Creative reserves all rights not expressly granted in this Agreement.

5. Licensee Data and Ownership

You retain full ownership of all Licensee Data. JK Creative claims no rights, title, or interest in your catalog data, customer interaction records, or any other data generated through your use of the Software.

Because the Software runs on your own infrastructure, your data never passes through JK Creative systems. You are solely responsible for the security, backup, and lawful use of all Licensee Data.

6. Third-Party Components and APIs

The Software may incorporate open-source libraries or third-party components. Any such components are governed by their respective licenses, which are included in the Software's documentation or license directory.

The Software's catalog processing features require a Google Gemini API key obtained and paid for by you. Your use of the Gemini API is governed by Google's terms of service. JK Creative is not responsible for any interruption, change, or discontinuation of the Gemini API or for any costs you incur in connection with it.

7. No Warranty; Software Provided As-Is

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JK CREATIVE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR YOUR SELECTION AND USE OF THE SOFTWARE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY JK CREATIVE OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL JK CREATIVE LLC, ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF JK CREATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

JK CREATIVE'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID JK CREATIVE FOR THE LICENSE.
