CriteriaPages End User License Agreement

1. Acceptance and Authority

1.1 Acceptance

You accept this EULA by purchasing, downloading, installing, activating, accessing, or using CriteriaPages; by entering a license key; by completing an installation; or by clicking an acceptance control presented by the Company, WHMCS/client portal, installer, licensing server, or other authorized distribution system.

1.2 Authority to Bind an Entity

If you accept this EULA on behalf of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, nonprofit, government entity, client, employer, or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity. In that event, "you" includes both the entity and, where this EULA expressly states individual responsibility, the accepting individual.

1.3 No Rights Without Acceptance

No license is granted unless this EULA and the incorporated MSA are accepted.

2. Ownership and Intellectual Property

2.1 Ownership

CriteriaPages is licensed, not sold. The Company retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all source code, encoded or compiled code, algorithms as expressed in copyrightable form, user-interface expression, documentation, installer logic, licensing technology, databases and schemas supplied with the Software, graphics, branding, logos, manuals, updates, derivative works created by the Company, and all associated intellectual-property rights.

2.2 Copyright

CriteriaPages and its copyrightable components are protected by United States copyright law, international copyright treaties, and other applicable intellectual-property laws. Copyright ownership exists independently of whether a particular release has been formally registered. Nothing in this EULA transfers ownership of any copyright to you.

2.3 Trademarks

"CriteriaPages," associated logos, product names, slogans, and trade dress are trademarks, service marks, or branding assets of the Company or its licensors. No trademark license is granted except the limited right to display authorized branding as supplied with the Software or as expressly permitted by an Agency, Infrastructure, white-label, reseller, or separate written agreement.

2.4 Reservation of Rights

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Company.

3. License Grant and License Tiers

3.1 General Grant

Subject to payment, continued compliance with this EULA and the MSA, and the entitlements attached to your license key, the Company grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to install and use CriteriaPages within the scope of the license you purchased.

3.2 License Record Controls

The authoritative scope of a license is the entitlement associated with the license key in the Company's licensing system, including deployment limits, edition, expiration or maintenance status, white-label rights, Bolt authorization, and any other enabled feature flags. Marketing names may change over time without expanding an existing license.

3.3 Current Commercial License Models

3.4 License Changes

Upgrades, downgrades, add-ons, renewals, maintenance status, deployment-limit changes, or feature entitlements are effective only when reflected by the Company's licensing system or confirmed in writing by the Company.

3.5 No Implied Expansion

Paying for one license tier does not confer rights associated with another tier. White-label rights, redistribution rights, Bolt deployment rights, source-code rights, reseller rights, hosted-service rights, and unlimited deployment rights exist only when expressly enabled or separately granted in writing.

4. Deployment Counting and License Verification

4.1 Deployment Definition

A "Deployment" generally means a separately installed and operational CriteriaPages instance identified by the Company's licensing system using one or more technical identifiers, which may include install ID, domain, directory/path fingerprint, server information, or other reasonable installation identifiers.

4.2 Verification

CriteriaPages may periodically communicate with Company-controlled licensing infrastructure to validate license status, edition, deployment entitlement, maintenance status, permitted runtime, authorized features, and related licensing information.

4.3 Local License Data and Grace Periods

CriteriaPages may cache signed license information locally and may allow a limited grace period during temporary licensing-server unavailability. A grace period does not expand license rights or excuse an otherwise unauthorized deployment.

4.4 Accuracy

You must not knowingly provide false domain, server, installation, company, user, or licensing information or manipulate technical identifiers to avoid deployment counting.

5. Permitted Use

Subject to your license tier, you may:

1. install and operate CriteriaPages on authorized deployments;
2. configure Groups, Pages, Conditions, Alternatives, campaigns, and visitor-intelligence features for lawful business purposes;
3. create and display your own content through CriteriaPages;
4. make reasonable backup copies solely for disaster recovery or archival purposes, provided such copies are not used as additional active deployments;
5. modify user-editable configuration, templates, branding, or integration code only to the extent your license expressly permits; and
6. use documented integration methods with websites, applications, CMS platforms, e-commerce systems, or custom PHP applications.

6. Prohibited Use

Except where expressly authorized in writing, you may not, directly or indirectly:

1. copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, transfer, lend, timeshare, or commercially redistribute the Software or any license key;
2. share a license key with any person or entity outside the licensed organization or use one license key to exceed the authorized deployment limit;
3. circumvent, disable, remove, falsify, interfere with, or bypass licensing checks, deployment counting, license seals, installation identifiers, protected runtime requirements, activation logic, feature flags, branding controls, or other technical protection measures;
4. reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, decode, unpack, derive source from, translate, or otherwise attempt to discover protected source code, encryption keys, signing keys, licensing secrets, protected algorithms, or non-public internal logic, except only to the limited extent such restriction is prohibited by non-waivable law;
5. modify encoded/protected files or use patches, loaders, nulling tools, cracks, key generators, modified license responses, proxy responses, DNS manipulation, binary patches, or similar methods to defeat licensing or protection measures;
6. remove or alter copyright notices, proprietary notices, required "Powered by CriteriaPages" attribution, logos, or branding except where your license expressly grants white-label or attribution-removal rights;
7. use CriteriaPages to develop, train, benchmark for the purpose of cloning, or create a substantially similar competing product through unauthorized extraction or copying of protected expression or confidential implementation details;
8. use the Software for unlawful activity or in violation of applicable privacy, advertising, consumer-protection, export-control, or data-protection laws; or
9. assist, encourage, direct, induce, or knowingly permit another person to engage in any prohibited activity.

7. White-Label, Branding, and Redistribution Rights

7.1 White-Label Rights

White-label and custom-branding rights exist only when expressly enabled by the license record or a separate written agreement. The existence of editable files or accessible asset directories does not itself create white-label rights.

7.2 Attribution

Where attribution is required by the applicable license, you must preserve Company branding and attribution in the form delivered or reasonably required by the Software.

7.3 No Redistribution by Default

Agency, Infrastructure, Developer, or other high-tier licenses do not automatically authorize redistribution of the CriteriaPages installer, protected application package, license keys, source code, or stand-alone copies to third parties. Redistribution, OEM, embedded-product, reseller, or sublicensing rights require express written authorization.

7.4 Client Deployments

Where a tier permits deployment for clients, each deployment remains governed by the purchasing licensee's entitlement and this EULA. The licensee is responsible for ensuring that its personnel, contractors, clients, and administrators do not exceed or circumvent the granted rights.

8. Updates, Maintenance, and Compatibility

8.1 Updates

The Company may release updates, maintenance releases, security changes, compatibility updates, or new versions at its discretion. Access to updates or support may depend on the applicable license, maintenance plan, subscription status, or separate agreement.

8.2 No Perpetual Compatibility Guarantee

The Company does not guarantee that any specific CriteriaPages version will remain compatible with future versions of PHP, web servers, databases, operating systems, third-party loaders, CMS platforms, browsers, hosting environments, or third-party software indefinitely.

8.3 Security and Licensing Updates

The Company may require installation of reasonable security, licensing, or compatibility updates as a condition of continued support or continued access to certain features.

9. Privacy and Licensing Data

9.1 Licensing Data

To administer licenses and prevent unauthorized use, CriteriaPages may transmit or store limited technical and licensing information such as license-key hashes or identifiers, product/tier information, domain, installation ID, directory fingerprint, server/runtime details, loader availability, software version, deployment status, feature entitlements, and timestamps.

9.2 No General Content Inspection

Routine licensing verification is not intended to inspect or collect the content of your website, customer database, private files, visitor content, passwords, or unrelated server data.

9.3 Security

The Company may use cryptographic signatures, hashes, encrypted/protected code, local license seals, and other technical controls to protect licensing integrity.

10. Suspension, Degradation, and Termination

10.1 Technical Enforcement

If the Software detects an invalid, expired, blocked, exceeded, revoked, tampered, fraudulent, or otherwise unauthorized license state, the Company or Software may, to the extent reasonably necessary to enforce the license:

1. prevent new installations or deployments;
2. disable protected features or administrative write operations;
3. place the Software into limited, read-only, grace, warning, or degraded mode;
4. require license revalidation or reactivation;
5. disable white-label, Bolt, or other specially authorized features;
6. suspend or block the applicable license key; or
7. terminate the license for material or willful breach.

10.2 No Refund Upon Termination for Breach

Termination, blocking, or suspension caused by your breach does not entitle you to a refund, credit, chargeback right, or repayment, except where required by non-waivable law. Amounts already paid may be retained to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the MSA.

10.3 Future Licensing

For intentional piracy, license circumvention, fraudulent acquisition, repeated willful overdeployment, distribution of cracked or nulled copies, or other material intellectual-property abuse, the Company may refuse future sales, activations, renewals, support, or licenses to the responsible person, entity, affiliates, or controlled accounts to the extent permitted by law.

10.4 Survival

Termination does not eliminate accrued payment obligations, intellectual-property rights, confidentiality obligations, damages claims, enforcement rights, or provisions that by their nature should survive termination.

11. Unauthorized Use, Circumvention, and Liquidated Damages

11.1 Unauthorized Deployment Charges

For each unauthorized production deployment that exceeds the purchased entitlement, you agree that the Company is entitled, at minimum, to the then-current retail price of the license or upgrade that would have been required to authorize that deployment for the period of unauthorized use, together with any other non-duplicative remedies available under this EULA, the MSA, or applicable law.

11.2 Willful Circumvention — Liquidated Damages

The parties acknowledge that deliberate circumvention of licensing controls, cracking or nulling protected code, falsifying license responses, defeating deployment counting, distributing a bypass, or materially tampering with technical protection measures can cause losses that are difficult to calculate in advance, including investigation time, security response, licensing-system remediation, lost licensing revenue, support burden, and impairment of the Company's licensing and distribution controls.

Accordingly, for each separate affected production deployment involving willful license circumvention or material tampering, you agree to pay ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS (US $1,000.00) as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty. A continuous course of conduct affecting the same deployment will be treated as one violation event for purposes of this subsection and will not be multiplied merely because multiple files, requests, or technical steps were involved.

The liquidated amount in this subsection is intended as a reasonable advance estimate of difficult-to-ascertain contractual harm. It does not duplicate the ordinary license or upgrade price due under Section 11.1, and it does not limit non-monetary remedies such as injunctive relief. To the extent a court determines that this subsection is unenforceable as liquidated damages, this subsection shall be severed to the minimum extent necessary and the Company may pursue the remedies otherwise available under law and the remaining agreements.

11.3 Intellectual-Property Remedies

Nothing in this EULA waives any independent rights or remedies that may exist under copyright, trademark, trade-secret, computer-fraud, unfair-competition, or other applicable law. Where legally available, the Company may seek injunctive relief, impoundment, actual damages, infringer profits, statutory remedies, taxable costs, and attorney's fees.

11.4 No Double Recovery

The Company will not seek duplicative recovery for the same item of damage. Contractual license fees, liquidated damages for distinct hard-to-measure circumvention harm, and independent statutory remedies will be applied only to the extent legally available and non-duplicative.

12. Individual Responsibility and Entity Purchases

12.1 Entity Purchases

When a license is purchased for an entity, the entity is responsible for compliance by its employees, officers, owners, contractors, administrators, developers, and other users who access the Software through that license.

12.2 Individual Capacity for Misuse

An individual accepting this EULA on behalf of an entity accepts in a representative capacity for the entity and, solely with respect to that individual's own acts, in an individual capacity as to the restrictions on unauthorized copying, distribution, circumvention, tampering, reverse engineering, piracy, misappropriation, and intentional intellectual-property infringement.

12.3 Potential Individual Defendants

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company reserves the right to pursue and name as defendants not only the purchasing entity, but also individuals who personally participate in, direct, authorize, induce, knowingly assist, or continue intentional violations of this EULA or the Company's intellectual-property rights. This provision does not create personal liability where applicable law would not otherwise permit it, but no individual may use an entity merely as a shield for his or her own independently actionable conduct.

12.4 No Automatic Personal Guaranty for Ordinary Entity Debt

Except where separately agreed in writing, acceptance on behalf of an entity does not by itself constitute a personal guaranty of the entity's ordinary payment obligations. This limitation does not restrict liability for an individual's own conduct described in Sections 12.2 and 12.3.

13. Refunds, Chargebacks, and Payment Disputes

13.1 MSA Controls

Refunds, payment authorization, chargebacks, ACH reversals, PayPal disputes, card disputes, administrative fees, collection costs, and related payment obligations are governed by the incorporated MSA.

13.2 Digital License Nature

CriteriaPages is a digital software license. Once a license, installer, activation, protected package, or licensing credential has been generated, activated, delivered, or made available, refunds are governed by the MSA and applicable law.

13.3 Chargebacks Do Not Grant Continued Use

A payment reversal or chargeback does not grant a right to continue using the Software without payment. If payment is reversed, disputed, rescinded, or dishonored, the Company may suspend or terminate the associated license subject to the MSA and applicable law.

14. Confidentiality and Protected Technology

Non-public licensing-server logic, private signing keys, encryption keys, protected build methods, anti-tamper methods, internal deployment controls, non-public source code, internal security documentation, and other information designated or reasonably understood as confidential remain confidential information of the Company. You may not obtain, disclose, publish, sell, or use such information except as expressly authorized.

15. Third-Party and Open-Source Components

CriteriaPages may interact with or include third-party software, libraries, loaders, services, or open-source components. Those components may be governed by their own license terms. Nothing in this EULA restricts rights granted directly by an applicable open-source license, but such third-party terms do not grant rights to proprietary CriteriaPages code.

16. Warranty Disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CRITERIAPAGES IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT A WARRANTY CANNOT LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED.

The Company does not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every environment, immune from all security threats, or suitable for every business, legal, advertising, compliance, or technical use case. You are responsible for testing targeting rules, content, integrations, backups, and business logic before production use.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OPPORTUNITY; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO CRITERIAPAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Except for obligations that cannot lawfully be limited, the Company's aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Software will not exceed the amount actually paid by you for the applicable CriteriaPages license during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or, for a one-time license purchased more than twelve months earlier, the original purchase price of that license.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, and licensors from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees arising from your unlawful use of CriteriaPages, your content, your targeting practices, your violation of third-party rights, or your material breach of this EULA, except to the extent caused by the Company's own unlawful conduct.

19. Governing Law, Venue, and Jurisdiction

The governing-law, venue, personal-jurisdiction, and related dispute provisions in the MSA are incorporated into this EULA. Without limiting those provisions, this EULA is governed by Florida law, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, disputes arising out of or relating to this EULA or CriteriaPages shall be brought in the state courts located in Orange County, Florida, or, where federal jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court serving Orange County, Florida.

20. Changes to this EULA

20.1 Right to Modify

The Company may modify, replace, or update this EULA from time to time, with or without individualized notice, subject to applicable law.

20.2 Posting Constitutes Notice

The then-current EULA may be posted on an official Company or CriteriaPages website, included with an update, displayed in the Software, or made available through the customer portal. Posting an updated EULA with a revised effective date constitutes notice of the updated terms. Where applicable law requires additional notice or affirmative consent for a particular change, the Company will provide such process as required.

20.3 Continued Use

Your continued installation, activation, access, update, renewal, or use of CriteriaPages after the effective date of an updated EULA constitutes acceptance of the updated EULA to the fullest extent permitted by law. If you do not agree to an updated EULA, you must discontinue use and remove the Software, subject to any surviving obligations.

20.4 MSA Updates

Because the MSA is incorporated by reference, continued use of CriteriaPages also constitutes continued acceptance of the then-current MSA to the fullest extent permitted by law.

21. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, sell, delegate, or sublicense this EULA, the Software, or a license key without the Company's prior written consent, except where the applicable license or a separate written agreement expressly permits transfer. The Company may assign this EULA in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale of substantially all assets, sale or transfer of the CriteriaPages product line, or similar corporate transaction.

22. Severability; Waiver; Survival

22.1 Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the invalid provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted or severed to the minimum extent necessary.

22.2 No Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive future enforcement of that provision or any other provision.

22.3 Survival

Sections concerning ownership, intellectual property, payment obligations, unauthorized use, damages, individual responsibility, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature should survive will survive termination.

23. Entire Agreement and Order of Precedence

The complete agreement governing CriteriaPages consists of:

1. the applicable CriteriaPages order, invoice, quote, or product description;
2. the license entitlements associated with the applicable license key;
3. this EULA;
4. the incorporated MSA; and
5. any separate written addendum executed by the Company.

If these documents conflict, a separately signed written addendum controls first; the license record/order controls the purchased deployment scope and enabled features; this EULA controls software licensing and intellectual-property matters; and the MSA controls general billing and service matters.

No purchase order, customer form, or unilateral customer term modifies this EULA unless expressly accepted in writing by an authorized representative of the Company.
