+# CanvasGlobe Software License Agreement
+
+**Version 2.0, effective September 16, 2026**
+
+This Commercial License Agreement ("Agreement") is between Harsh
+Jhunjhunuwala, an individual trading as Swiftools ("Licensor"), and the person
+or legal entity that downloads, installs, purchases, or uses the
+Software ("Customer"). Swiftools is an operating brand and is not a separate
+legal entity.
+
+By downloading, installing, purchasing, or using the Software,
+Customer accepts this Agreement. An individual accepting for an organization
+represents that they have authority to bind it. A Customer that does not agree
+must not use the Software.
+
+The applicable order, including its plan, price, developer count, product
+count, update period, and any negotiated terms, is the "Order". This Agreement
+and the Order form the complete commercial license for that Order.
+
+## 1. Definitions
+
+- "Software" means the CanvasGlobe source code, compiled artifacts,
+  documentation, and official updates supplied under an Order.
+- "Developer" means an employee or contractor who accesses the Software to
+  develop or modify a Customer Product.
+- "Customer Product" means a website, application, service, or other product
+  that Customer owns and controls and that is permitted by the Order.
+- "Internal Product" means a Customer Product used only by Customer and its
+  personnel and not sold, licensed, supplied, or made available to third
+  parties as a product or service.
+- "Redistributable Product" means an SDK, builder, template, component
+  library, white-label product, installable product, code generator, or other
+  product that supplies the Software or reusable copies of it to third
+  parties.
+- "Update Period" means the period stated in the Order during which Customer
+  may receive new Software versions and the included support.
+
+## 2. Commercial license grant
+
+Subject to payment and compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants
+Customer a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable license to use,
+reproduce, modify, and incorporate the Software into the Customer Products
+permitted by the Order, and to distribute those Customer Products in
+proprietary form for Customer's end users.
+
+This commercial grant applies only within the Developer, Customer Product,
+entity and redistribution limits in the Order.
+
+For a perpetual Order, Customer may continue using and distributing versions
+received during the Update Period after that period ends. Access to later
+versions, support, and development exceeding the purchased scope requires a
+renewal or a new Order.
+
+## 3. Standard plan scope
+
+Unless the Order expressly states different limits:
+
+- Solo permits one Developer and one Customer Product.
+- Team permits up to five Developers and five Customer Products.
+- Business permits up to twenty Developers and unlimited Internal Products
+  owned and controlled by the purchasing legal entity.
+- OEM, Builder, and Enterprise rights exist only to the extent expressly
+  stated in a negotiated Order.
+
+A production, staging, and development deployment of the same Customer
+Product count as one product. Separate offerings count separately. Customer
+may reassign a seat when a Developer permanently stops working on Customer's
+covered products, but may not rotate seats to avoid a Developer limit.
+
+## 4. Restrictions
+
+Except where an OEM, Builder, or Enterprise Order expressly permits it,
+Customer must not:
+
+- sell, sublicense, publish, or distribute the Software on a standalone basis;
+- use or include the Software in a Redistributable Product;
+- provide the Software's source code to anyone other than authorized
+  Developers working solely for Customer;
+- remove or obscure copyright, license, attribution, or third-party notices;
+- share or use a license key outside the Customer entity and purchased scope;
+- use one Order for an affiliate or other legal entity; or
+- represent CanvasGlobe or the Swiftools brand as Customer's own library or
+  brand.
+
+Customer may make reasonable internal backup copies. Contractors may access
+the Software only for Customer, count toward the Developer limit, and must be
+bound by confidentiality and use restrictions at least as protective as this
+Agreement. Customer is responsible for their compliance.
+
+## 5. License keys
+
+A valid commercial license key is required for the applicable use. The Software
+checks the key locally and does not contact a license server.
+
+Without a valid key, the Software may display watermarks, licensing
+notices, and console warnings, and later versions may limit functionality.
+Customer must keep license keys confidential and must report suspected
+disclosure or misuse. Keys associated with fraudulent, refunded, charged back,
+shared, revoked, or out-of-scope Orders are not licensed for use.
+
+## 6. Ownership and feedback
+
+Licensor and its contributors retain all right, title, and interest in the
+Software. Customer retains all right, title, and interest in Customer's code,
+content, and data. No trademark or brand license is granted.
+
+If Customer voluntarily provides suggestions or feedback, Customer grants
+Licensor a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free
+license to use and incorporate that feedback without restriction or payment.
+This does not grant Licensor rights in Customer's confidential information or
+Customer Product.
+
+## 7. Updates and support
+
+The Update Period and support level are stated in the Order. Unless the Order
+says otherwise, standard plans include twelve months of new versions and
+commercially reasonable email assistance for documented Software APIs.
+Support excludes custom implementation, unrelated application debugging,
+guaranteed response or resolution times, and support for versions or uses
+outside the Order.
+
+## 8. Orders, payment, taxes, and refunds
+
+Kelviq acts as Merchant of Record for online purchases. Kelviq processes the
+payment, tax, invoice, and refund transaction under the terms shown at
+checkout. All fees are final and non-refundable,
+and no credits are provided, except where a refund or other remedy is required
+by applicable law or expressly stated in the Order or at checkout. Mandatory
+rights under applicable law are not excluded.
+
+A refund or charge reversal may end the commercial rights and access associated
+with the refunded Order to the extent permitted by the applicable checkout
+terms and law.
+
+## 9. Privacy and order data
+
+Kelviq processes checkout and payment data under its own privacy terms.
+Licensor may receive order, contact, invoice, entitlement, and support
+information needed to fulfill the Order, provide support, prevent abuse, keep
+business records, and comply with law. Licensor's public privacy notice applies
+to information it receives and controls.
+
+The license-key check takes place locally in the Software. It does not add
+visitor analytics or a license-server request to Customer's Application and
+does not send visitor globe interactions or website activity to Licensor.
+
+Customer must not send secrets, regulated data, license keys, or personal data
+that is unnecessary for support.
+
+## 10. Confidentiality
+
+Each party must use reasonable care to protect the other party's non-public
+information and may use it only to perform or enforce this Agreement.
+Confidential information does not include information that the receiving party
+can show was already lawfully known, independently developed without use of
+the information, publicly available without breach, or lawfully received from
+another source without a confidentiality duty.
+
+A party may disclose information when legally required if it gives prior
+notice where lawful and reasonably assists the other party in seeking
+protection.
+
+## 11. Limited authority warranty and disclaimer
+
+Licensor warrants only that Licensor has authority to grant the commercial
+rights stated in this Agreement. Except for that express warranty, the
+Software, updates, support, and documentation are provided "as is" and "as
+available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, Licensor disclaims all
+other express, implied, and statutory warranties, including merchantability,
+fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, security,
+and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
+
+Customer is responsible for evaluating the Software, maintaining backups,
+securing its systems, and confirming that its use satisfies applicable laws
+and requirements.
+
+## 12. Limitation of liability
+
+To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable under this
+Agreement for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or
+indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages,
+even if advised that those damages are possible.
+
+To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party's total aggregate liability
+arising from an Order will not exceed the fees paid for that Order. This cap
+does not limit payment obligations, unauthorized use or distribution of the
+Software, infringement or misuse of the other party's intellectual property,
+breach of confidentiality, fraud, willful misconduct, or liability that law
+does not permit a party to limit.
+
+## 13. Indemnity
+
+No indemnity is included in a standard Solo, Team, or Business Order. Any
+indemnity must be expressly stated in a negotiated OEM or Enterprise Order.
+
+## 14. Term and termination
+
+This Agreement begins when Customer accepts it for an Order. Either party may
+terminate the affected Order for a material breach that remains uncured thirty
+days after written notice. Licensor may suspend access or terminate immediately
+for nonpayment, fraudulent purchase, unlawful use, or material unauthorized
+distribution.
+
+On termination for Customer's breach, Customer must stop new use and
+distribution under the commercial license and remove the Software from future
+releases of Customer Products. Sections that by their nature should survive
+will survive, including ownership, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability
+limits, accrued payments, and general terms.
+
+## 15. Earlier GPL releases
+
+CanvasGlobe versions through 0.1.6 were separately released under GNU GPLv3.
+Rights already received under those releases are not revoked by this Agreement.
+This Agreement governs CanvasGlobe 1.0 and later and does not provide access to
+future commercial versions under the earlier GPL terms.
+
+## 16. General terms
+
+This Agreement is governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict of
+laws rules. Courts with territorial jurisdiction over Licensor's principal
+place of business or residence in India will have exclusive jurisdiction,
+except that either party may seek urgent injunctive relief in any court with
+appropriate jurisdiction.
+
+Formal notices must be sent to [globe@swiftools.com](mailto:globe@swiftools.com)
+and to the email address recorded for Customer's Order. A notice is effective
+when receipt is acknowledged or the sending party receives an automated proof
+of successful delivery without a rejection notice.
+
+Customer may not assign or transfer this Agreement or an Order without
+Licensor's written consent, except as part of a merger or sale of substantially
+all of Customer's relevant business if the successor accepts this Agreement
+and is not Licensor's direct competitor. Licensor may assign this Agreement to
+a successor to CanvasGlobe or the relevant business.
+
+Neither party is responsible for delay caused by events outside its reasonable
+control, except for payment obligations. A failure to enforce a term is not a
+waiver. If a term is unenforceable, it will be limited only as necessary and
+the remaining terms continue in effect.
+
+A negotiated Order controls over this Agreement only where it expressly says
+that it overrides a named section. This Agreement controls over public pricing,
+FAQ, documentation, marketing, and support pages. Changes apply only when
+accepted for a new Order or renewal unless both parties agree otherwise in
+writing.
+
+This Agreement and the applicable Order are the complete agreement about the
+commercial license and replace prior discussions about that Order. Electronic
+acceptance and electronic records have the same effect as paper signatures.
+
+Questions may be sent to [globe@swiftools.com](mailto:globe@swiftools.com).

 # CanvasGlobe licensing
 
-CanvasGlobe is available under a dual-license model. You choose one of these
-licenses:
+CanvasGlobe 1.0 and later are proprietary software distributed under the
+CanvasGlobe Software License Agreement. Public availability on npm or GitHub
+does not grant open-source rights for these versions.
 
-1. **GNU GPL v3, version 3 only (`GPL-3.0-only`)**: no license fee. This
-   option is intended for projects that can comply with the GPL's terms.
-2. **CanvasGlobe Commercial License**: paid permission for proprietary use
-   under the terms shown on the applicable order form and commercial license
-   agreement.
+## Production use
 
-Copyright (C) 2026 Harsh Jhunjhunuwala. Harsh Jhunjhunuwala is the licensor and
-publishes CanvasGlobe under Swiftools, an operating brand rather than a
-separate legal entity.
+Purchase the plan that covers the developers and products using CanvasGlobe:
+https://canvasglobe.swiftools.com/pricing.
 
-The complete GPLv3 text is in [LICENSE](LICENSE). Commercial rights exist only
-under commercial terms supplied by the licensor and accepted for the relevant
-order. Public pricing and documentation pages are summaries, not a commercial
-license grant.
+Standard one-time licenses include perpetual use of eligible versions and 12
+months of updates and support. OEM, builder, SDK, white-label, and other
+redistribution uses require separately scoped terms.
 
-## Important distinction
-
-The GPL permits commercial activity. A company does not automatically need a
-commercial license merely because it earns money. The practical question is
-whether the way CanvasGlobe is copied, modified, combined, and distributed can
-comply with GPLv3.
-
-Many proprietary applications choose the commercial license because they do
-not want to accept the GPL obligations that may apply when distributing a
-combined work. The legal treatment of browser JavaScript bundles and
-application boundaries can be fact-specific. This page is a product summary,
-not legal advice; ask qualified counsel about your situation.
-
-## Commercial plan shape
-
-The launch pricing proposed in this repository is:
-
-| Plan | Price | Intended scope |
-| --- | ---: | --- |
-| Open Source | $0 | GPL-compatible projects |
-| Solo Commercial | $79 | 1 developer, 1 proprietary product |
-| Team Commercial | $249 | Up to 5 developers and 5 products |
-| Business Commercial | $599 | Up to 20 developers; unlimited internal products |
-| OEM / Builder | From $1,500 per product/year | Redistribution, white-label, builders, SDKs, and generated copies |
-| Enterprise | Custom | Larger teams, affiliates, procurement, or negotiated terms |
-
-The proposed perpetual plans grant perpetual use of the purchased version and
-include 12 months of updates and support. Continued access to updates and
-support after that period is an optional renewal. OEM and Enterprise terms may
-be annual or negotiated.
-
-These prices and descriptions are launch policy, not a substitute for the
-signed commercial agreement. Commercial sales must not begin until the final
-agreement and checkout terms are approved.
-
-## License keys
-
-Pass the license key supplied with a commercial order:
+Add the license key supplied after purchase to your CanvasGlobe options:
 
 ```js
 createGlobe(canvas, {
-  licenseKey: "your_license_key",
+  licenseKey: "GLO-your-license-key",
 });
 ```
 
-Projects using CanvasGlobe under GPLv3 can request a complimentary key through
-the licensing page. Eligibility depends on complying with GPLv3. The key is a
-compliance reminder and does not replace or modify the license terms.
+CanvasGlobe checks the key locally. A valid commercial key begins with `GLO`.
+The package makes no license-server request and sends no visitor analytics.
+
+Public production use without a valid key displays a small in-canvas licensing
+notice and a browser-console warning. Local development remains functional so
+a missing setup step does not interrupt development.
 
-CanvasGlobe uses `0000-0000-000-0000` as its default evaluation placeholder.
-In a browser, a missing key logs an error and the placeholder logs a production
-warning.
+## Earlier GPL releases
 
-## Third-party material
+Versions through 0.1.6 remain licensed under GNU GPLv3 under the terms supplied
+with those versions. Those existing rights are not revoked. They do not apply to
+CanvasGlobe 1.0 or later. See https://canvasglobe.swiftools.com/gpl-history.
