Commercial License Agreement

REMI BLAZE — END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (COMMERCIAL)

Last updated: April 2026

IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THIS SOFTWARE.

By purchasing, installing, copying, or using this software ("Software"), you ("User") agree to be bound by the terms of this End-User License Agreement ("Agreement"). If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use the Software and contact the Developer for a refund within 30 days of purchase.

This Software is developed and published by Empellex Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, operating under the brand name "Remi Blaze" ("Developer", "Licensor", "we", "us").

1. LICENSE GRANT

Upon valid purchase or activation, the Developer grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:

(a) Install and use the Software on up to three (3) computers that you personally own or control. The Software may not be used simultaneously on more than two (2) devices at the same time.

(b) Use the Software for any purpose, including personal, educational, and commercial music production. You may use the Software to create, produce, mix, and master audio content and release that content commercially. No royalties or additional fees are owed to the Developer for audio content created with the Software.

This license is personal to you and may not be shared with, lent to, or used by any other individual or entity.

Licenses provided for review, beta testing, or promotional purposes are designated "Not For Resale" (NFR). NFR licenses carry no cash value, may not be transferred, and may be revoked at the Developer's discretion.

2. LICENSE ACTIVATION & GOOD FAITH MODEL

(a) Good Faith (Honour System) Release. Version 1.x of the Software is distributed on a good-faith basis. It does not require online activation, a license key, or any copy-protection mechanism. By purchasing and using the Software, you acknowledge your compliance with the usage limitations set forth in this Agreement, including Section 1 (License Grant) and Section 3 (Restrictions). Any reference in this Agreement to license keys, activation, or license verification — including in this Section and in Section 6 (License Transfer) — applies only if and when such a mechanism is implemented; where no such mechanism exists, those provisions do not apply.

(b) Reservation of Rights for Future Versions. The Developer reserves the right to implement technical license activation, key-based verification, hardware-identifier tracking, or similar anti-piracy mechanisms in future versions or major updates (e.g., v2.0.0).

(c) Future Activation Framework. If and when a technical license-verification mechanism is implemented by the Developer: - The Software may require a valid license key linked to your original purchase. Each key is personal to you, and you are responsible for keeping it confidential. - The activation process may transmit a unique hardware identifier to the Developer's server solely for license validation and anti-piracy purposes. No personal files, audio content, project data, or usage behaviour will ever be accessed, collected, or transmitted during this process. - The Developer reserves the right to limit the number of activations per license key. - Any attempt to circumvent, bypass, disable, or interfere with such verification, copy-protection, or activation mechanisms constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of your license.

3. RESTRICTIONS

You may NOT:

(a) Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Software, in whole or in part, by any means.

(b) Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software.

(c) Remove, alter, obscure, or tamper with any copyright notices, trademarks, branding, or proprietary markings in the Software.

(d) Sell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, or otherwise distribute the Software, your license key, or access to the Software to any third party.

(e) Share your license key publicly, on forums, social media, or any other medium.

(f) Redistribute the Software in any form, including modified, repackaged, or bundled with other software.

(g) Use the Software, its code, its interface, or its output to train, develop, or improve any artificial intelligence, machine learning, or neural network model, system, or dataset, nor use the audio output of the Software to generate synthetic datasets for such purposes, without prior written consent from the Developer.

(h) Use the Software in a service bureau, time-sharing, or similar arrangement where multiple users access a single license.

(i) Claim authorship of the Software or misrepresent its origin.

(j) Use the Software in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.

Notwithstanding Section 3(a), the discovery of intentional "Easter Eggs," hidden features, or "Secret Modes" through the Software's intended user interface is permitted and encouraged.

To request a refund, contact the Developer at the address listed in Section 15.

6. LICENSE TRANSFER

License transfers are not permitted by default. If you wish to transfer your license to another user, you must contact the Developer for approval. The Developer may, at their sole discretion, approve or deny the transfer.

Transfer restrictions: - Licenses may not be transferred within the first six (6) months of the original purchase date. - A license may only be transferred once. Transferred licenses are ineligible for further transfer. - The Developer reserves the right to charge a flat administrative fee of $5.00 USD to process the transfer and issue new license keys. - Free, promotional, NFR (Not For Resale), or bundled licenses may not be transferred under any circumstances.

If a transfer is approved: - You must permanently delete all copies of the Software from your devices. - The transferee must agree to this Agreement. - The original license key will be deactivated and a new key issued to the transferee. - The transfer is final and cannot be reversed.
