KARL EVALUATION LICENSE (DEMO)
================================
Last updated: 2026-06-04


1. WHAT THIS IS

   This package ("the Software") is a time-and-feature-limited evaluation
   build of the Karl code assistant. It is provided so that you can
   determine whether the full version is suitable for you or your
   organisation.

   The Software is licensed, not sold. Copyright is retained by
   the Licensor (Arvid Lindqvist).


2. WHAT YOU MAY DO

   You may:

   a) Install and run one (1) instance of the Software on hardware
      you own or control, for the purpose of evaluating it.

   b) Use the Software on your own source code, including
      commercially-developed source code, for the duration of the
      evaluation period.

   c) Run the included benchmarks against your own code and discuss
      the results internally.

   d) Report bugs, ask questions, and request a quote for the full
      version. Contact: arvidl61@gmail.com.


3. WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO

   You may not:

   a) Redistribute the Software, in whole or in part, to any third
      party. This includes uploading the Software to public or
      private file-sharing services, package registries, or model
      hubs.

   b) Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt
      to derive the source code, algorithms, or training procedures
      of the Software, except to the extent that such activity is
      expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this
      restriction.

   c) Use the Software, or any output of the Software, to develop a
      competing product or service.

   d) Use the Software to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any other
      machine-learning model.

   e) Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notice, license
      notice, or other proprietary mark in the Software.

   f) Use the Software after the evaluation period (14 days from
      first launch) or after any of the per-feature quotas listed
      in section 4 have been exhausted, unless you have entered
      into a separate written agreement with the Licensor.

   g) Use the Software to provide a service to any third party,
      including service-bureau arrangements, software-as-a-service,
      or managed-services offerings.


4. EVALUATION LIMITS

   The Software enforces the following limits at runtime:

   - 14 days from first launch
   - 200 inline code completions in total
   - 30 chat turns in total
   - 5 agentic plan-and-patch sessions in total
   - Background fine-tuning is disabled

   When any limit is reached, the corresponding feature returns
   HTTP 402 and stops working. The Software is single-machine; it
   does not transmit usage data, license keys, or telemetry to any
   remote server.


5. DATA HANDLING

   The Software runs entirely on the machine on which it is
   installed. It does not transmit your source code, your prompts,
   your model outputs, or any usage metric to any remote server.
   The only outbound network traffic is, on first launch, the
   download of the open-source base model from a public model
   registry (Ollama).

   You are responsible for handling any data captured locally by
   the Software (trajectories, completion logs, benchmark
   artefacts) in accordance with your own policies and applicable
   law.


6. NO WARRANTY

   THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT
   WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
   LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
   PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

   The Software is an evaluation build. It may contain defects,
   missing features, and stubs. The Licensor will use reasonable
   effort to fix defects you report, but is under no obligation
   to do so.


7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

   IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT,
   INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR
   ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR
   IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
   POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

   The Licensor's total cumulative liability under this license
   shall not exceed one hundred euros (EUR 100).


8. TERMINATION

   This license terminates automatically:

   a) at the end of the 14-day evaluation period;
   b) if any usage quota in section 4 is exhausted;
   c) if you breach any term of this license; or
   d) on written notice from the Licensor.

   On termination you must stop using the Software and delete all
   copies in your possession or control.


9. GOVERNING LAW

   This license is governed by the laws of Sweden. Any dispute
   arising under or in connection with it is subject to the
   exclusive jurisdiction of the Swedish courts.


10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

    This file is the entire agreement between you and the Licensor
    concerning the Software. Any modification must be in writing
    and signed by the Licensor.


For a commercial license that removes the limits in section 4 and
the restrictions in section 3, contact: arvidl61@gmail.com.
