ROX Automation — Software Licensing Terms

**Version 1.0 **

This document describes the licensing terms under which ROX Automation delivers software to clients. It applies to all projects unless superseded by a separate written agreement.


1. Platform Software — MIT License

Generic, reusable software developed and maintained by ROX Automation (frameworks, libraries, tooling) is released under the MIT License. Such software may be published publicly and used, modified, and distributed by anyone under the terms of the MIT License.

Clients who receive platform software as part of a project deliverable are free to use it under those same MIT terms.


2. Customer-Specific Software

Software developed specifically at a client's request — custom integrations, application logic, configurations, or proprietary tooling — is governed by the following terms.

2.1 Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights (including source code, designs, and know-how) developed by ROX Automation remain with ROX Automation, unless explicitly assigned in writing in a separate agreement.

2.2 Client License

Upon delivery and full payment, the client receives a:

Perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute the delivered software for internal and commercial purposes.

This license does not include the right to sublicense the software to third parties, nor does it transfer ownership.

2.3 Ownership Transfer

Exclusive rights or full ownership transfer of customer-specific software can only be granted by a separate written agreement and may be subject to additional fees.


3. Third-Party Components

Deliverables may include third-party open-source components. These remain governed by their respective licenses, which will be documented in the project deliverables.


4. Source File Header

Customer-specific source files are marked with a header comment indicating the licensing relationship, for example:

# © 2025 ROX Automation. All rights reserved.
# Licensed to [Client Name] under the ROX Software Licensing Terms v1.0.
# See the Software Use and Distribution Agreement for full terms.

5. Full Agreement

These terms provide a summary for reference purposes. For any project, the definitive licensing terms are those set out in the signed Software Use and Distribution Agreement between ROX Automation and the client.
