+PDFluent Commercial Licence
+===========================
+
+Version 3.0 — 6 September 2026
+Innovation Trigger B.V., trading as PDFluent, Netherlands.
+
+This licence replaces version 2.0 of 31 August 2026, which described the same
+rights sold as a perpetual licence through a signed order form. The rights are
+unchanged. What changed on 6 September 2026 is how the licence is bought and how
+long it runs: four self-service prices, yearly, bought on the website in a
+minute. Version 1.0 of 2 May 2026, which described licence keys, tiers and an
+expiring evaluation, described a product that no longer exists.
+
+Licences granted under version 2.0 or earlier were perpetual for the versions
+they named and remain so. Nothing in this text withdraws or replaces them.
+
+
+1. Why this licence exists
+--------------------------
+
+PDFluent is published under the GNU AGPLv3 (the LICENSE file). That is the
+default, and it is the complete product: no feature is withheld, no key is
+required, nothing expires.
+
+The AGPL asks something in return. If you convey the software, or let users
+interact with a modified version over a network, you must offer those users the
+corresponding source under the same licence. For many organisations that is
+fine. For some it is impossible — because the surrounding product is closed, or
+a customer contract forbids it, or the legal department will not accept a
+copyleft obligation in a shipped binary.
+
+This licence is the alternative for exactly that case. You are not buying
+features. You are buying the right not to publish your own source.
+
+
+2. What you get
+---------------
+
+On payment of the fee, PDFluent grants the licensee a non-exclusive, worldwide
+licence, for the term in section 8, to use, modify and distribute the PDFluent
+software in the licensee's own products, without the obligations of the AGPL.
+What the licensee conveyed to its own customers during the term stays covered
+after it: the term bounds which releases may be taken under this licence, never
+how long what was already shipped may be used.
+
+Specifically:
+
+  a. Distribution of the software as part of a compiled product, without
+     supplying source to the recipients.
+  b. Operation as a network service, without the AGPL section 13 obligation.
+  c. Internal use of any kind.
+  d. Deployment in environments without network access. Nothing in the software
+     contacts a server, so this needs no permission and costs nothing extra.
+
+The scope of one licence and its price are in section 2a below. Nothing in the
+software distinguishes a licensed build from an unlicensed one, so nothing stops
+working when a licence ends: see sections 5 and 8.
+
+
+2a. The four prices
+-------------------
+
+All yearly, in euro, excluding VAT, bought at https://pdfluent.com/sdk/pricing
+and cancellable at any time in the billing portal there.
+
+  Commercial      999   per organisation. Grants b and c, and a for a product
+                        the licensee does not sell PDF functionality from.
+                        Unlimited developers.
+  OEM Startup   2,499   per product. Grants a, b and c without that limit, for
+                        an organisation whose revenue is below EUR 1,000,000,
+                        declared by the licensee at the time of purchase. Above
+                        that threshold the OEM price applies from the next
+                        renewal.
+  OEM           9,999   per product. The same grants, every other organisation.
+  Priority      4,999   Not a licence. A support subscription: a reply within
+  support               one working day, on working days. Section 6 otherwise
+                        applies.
+
+The rule that decides Commercial from OEM, which is the only distinction
+between them that matters:
+
+  If your customers pay you for PDF functionality that PDFluent provides — a
+  conversion API, a PDF/A service, an OCR service, hosted PDF tooling — that is
+  OEM, not Commercial.
+
+Building PDF handling into your own product is Commercial. Selling PDF handling
+to your customers is OEM. A licence covers one organisation or one named
+product, as stated above; a second product is a second licence.
+
+
+3. What is not covered
+----------------------
+
+Several components in the repository are forks of third-party open-source
+projects and remain under their own permissive licences. They are not PDFluent's
+to relicense and need no licence from PDFluent. `NOTICE` records which they are;
+`docs/licensing/boundary.toml` is the machine-readable version.
+
+This licence covers the components on PDFluent's side of that boundary.
+
+Optional model files and runtime libraries that the software downloads on
+your explicit request (for example with `pdfluent models install`) are
+licensed as follows. Model files trained by PDFluent are licensed under
+the same terms as the software. Third-party model files and runtime
+libraries are licensed to you under their own terms, listed in the notice
+that accompanies them, and are provided as-is; PDFluent gives no warranty
+or indemnity for them.
+
+
+4. Attribution
+--------------
+
+Documents produced by the software carry "PDFluent" in the PDF `/Producer` entry
+and in XMP metadata. Under this licence you may remove or replace that string in
+your build. So may an AGPL licensee: the attribution term that once required
+that string to be preserved was withdrawn with the move to AGPL-3.0-only, and
+nothing replaced it. What a commercial licence changes is the copyleft, not
+the branding.
+
+
+5. What this licence does not contain, and why
+----------------------------------------------
+
+No telemetry, no licence key, and no check of any kind in the software.
+
+Stated accurately rather than aspirationally: until 6 September 2026 the build
+still carried tier checks from the previous model, so an unlicensed binary
+reported `Tier::Trial` and refused some capabilities. Those checks are gone
+(issue #226). No code in the software reads a key, refuses a capability, or
+marks output, and `scripts/ci/no_licence_key_in_a_binding.py` refuses a change
+that puts one back. It was never a condition of this licence — a commercial
+licensee's rights come from this agreement, not from a check in the binary.
+
+This is deliberate, not an omission. Published source means any technical check
+can be removed by anyone who has the code, in minutes, so such a check would
+only ever inconvenience the people who intended to pay. The obligation here is
+contractual, and it is enforceable in the ordinary way.
+
+Consequently there is nothing to install, nothing to activate, and nothing that
+can break in production because a file expired or a server was unreachable. A
+licence that lapses is a change in what the licensee may do, never a change in
+what the software does.
+
+What a licensee receives is the order confirmation issued at purchase and a
+licence document naming the licensee, the licence, the product where one
+applies, and the term. Those two together are the licence, and they are the
+deliverables. A signed order form is available for a licensee whose procurement
+requires one; it is not the ordinary route and it changes nothing about the
+rights.
+
+
+6. Support and updates
+----------------------
+
+This licence grants rights to the software. It is not a support contract and
+does not promise response times or fixes. Every release published during the
+term may be taken under it, which is what a licensee is buying when they renew.
+
+A response time is promised only where priority support is bought (section 2a),
+or where a separate services agreement says so; either prevails over this
+section.
+
+
+7. Warranty and liability
+-------------------------
+
+The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or
+implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness
+for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
+
+To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PDFluent's aggregate
+liability under or in connection with this licence shall not exceed the fees
+paid by the licensee for it. Nothing in this licence excludes or limits
+liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for
+intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
+
+
+8. Term and termination
+-----------------------
+
+The licence runs for the term paid for and renews yearly until the licensee
+cancels. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid term.
+
+When the term ends, the licensee's rights under section 2 end with it. Nothing
+breaks: no release stops working, nothing already shipped is affected, and no
+code in the software consults this agreement. What ends is the right to convey
+or operate releases under this licence rather than under the AGPL. Rights
+already granted to the licensee's own customers for versions already shipped are
+not affected, and neither is anything the licensee shipped during the term.
+
+The licence also terminates on a material breach that the licensee has not
+remedied within 30 days of written notice.
+
+
+9. Law and forum
+----------------
+
+This licence is governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Disputes are submitted
+to the competent court in the district where PDFluent has its registered seat,
+without prejudice to any mandatory consumer or statutory forum.
+
+
+10. The agreement
+-----------------
+
+For a self-service purchase, the agreement is this text together with the order
+confirmation and the licence document described in section 5. Those record the
+licensee, the licensed scope, the product where one applies, the term and the
+fee. Where they conflict with this text, they prevail for the facts they state.
+
+Where a licensee's procurement requires a signed order form, the licensee, the
+licensed scope, the fee and any agreed support are recorded in one signed by
+both parties, and that form and this text together are the agreement. Where they
+conflict, the order form prevails.
+
+The template is `docs/licensing/order-form.md`. It is a template and not an
+agreement: an order form binds only once it is filled in and signed by both
+parties.

+
+PDFluent is available under two licences, at your option
+=======================================================
+
+    1. The GNU Affero General Public License, version 3.
+
+           LICENSE                      the FSF text, verbatim
+
+    2. The PDFluent Commercial Licence.
+
+           LICENSE-COMMERCIAL
+
+Choose either. You do not need permission to choose the first.
+
+The AGPL is the default. No key is required to receive it, nothing expires, and
+the rights it grants are not conditional on anything we do. It asks something in
+return: if you convey the software, or let users interact with a modified
+version over a network, you must offer those users the corresponding source
+under the same licence.
+
+If that is impossible for you -- a closed surrounding product, a customer
+contract, a legal department that will not accept copyleft in a shipped
+binary -- the commercial licence is the alternative. Under it you are not buying
+features. You are buying the right not to publish your own source. It is sold at
+https://pdfluent.com/sdk/pricing; enquiries go to sales@pdfluent.com.
+
+
+Why this file exists, and what it is not
+----------------------------------------
+
+It is not a licence and it grants nothing. It is the statement of the offer, for
+the two channels that cannot spell the offer in their own metadata.
+
+npm rejects a LicenseRef expression outright -- measured with
+validate-npm-package-license 3.0.4, the library npm itself uses -- and
+nuget.org refuses one with NU5124. Both offer the same way out: point at a file.
+Until 07-09-2026 that pointer resolved to LICENSE, because LICENSE then opened
+with this same statement. Since then LICENSE holds the AGPL text and nothing
+else, so that a licence scanner reading it sees the AGPL rather than prose it
+cannot classify -- which is the whole point of that change, and it is why the
+pointer needs a file of its own rather than a sentence bolted onto the licence.
+
+The full explanation, with the history and what the build currently does, is the
+Licence section of README.md.

+
+The Software produces the same output whether or not a commercial licence is
+held: there is no licence key, nothing is withheld and no marker is added
+(#226). Documents carry "PDFluent" in the PDF Producer entry and in XMP
+metadata, which either licence lets you replace or remove in your own build.
+See LICENSE-COMMERCIAL §4.
+
+============================================================================
+EVALUATION
+============================================================================
+
+Every crate above may be evaluated with nothing asked in return: no key, no
+sign-up, no time limit. There is no separate evaluation build -- what you
+install is the whole product, under the AGPLv3.
+
+What an evaluation ends with is a choice of licence rather than an expiry:
+the AGPL and its obligation to offer your users the corresponding source, or
+the commercial licence, which removes that obligation. The commercial route
+is self-service and yearly -- Commercial EUR 999 per organisation, OEM Startup
+EUR 2,499 and OEM EUR 9,999 per product (LICENSE-COMMERCIAL §2a). Nothing is
+delivered but an order confirmation and a licence document; there is no key.
