Software License Agreement
Effective Date: Upon deposit and acceptance
Parties: Empire Core Consulting LLC (“Licensor”) and the Client (“Licensee”)
1. No Direct Access Without Deposit
The Empire Core Quantum OS software (“the Software”) is a proprietary, trade-secret-protected system. No direct access to the Software is permitted under any circumstance without prior payment of a $100,000 (USD) security deposit.
2. $100,000 Security Deposit
Before any engagement involving direct or indirect access to the Software’s architecture, methodology, or engine logic, Licensee must remit a non-refundable security deposit of $100,000 (USD) to Licensor. This deposit secures Licensor’s intellectual property and funds potential enforcement actions.
Deposit Forfeiture & Recourse
Full Forfeiture: Any breach of this agreement — including but not limited to reverse engineering, scraping, replication, or unauthorized distribution — results in immediate and total forfeiture of the $100,000 deposit. Licensor will use these funds for legal recourse, forensic investigation, and injunctive relief.
Partial Refund (50%) Only Under Force Majeure: A refund of 50% ($50,000) may be granted only if Licensee proves, to Licensor’s sole satisfaction, that:
- A simultaneous, full-system compromise occurred (e.g., all devices, accounts, and networks were breached at once), AND
- The breach was caused by unavoidable force majeure (e.g., state-sponsored cyberattack, catastrophic infrastructure failure), AND
- Licensee had no negligence in security practices.
In such cases, the remaining $50,000 will be retained by Licensor to pursue recourse against the actual perpetrators.
3. License Scope
Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to receive **outputs** (reports, strategies, dossiers) generated by the Software only through services delivered by Empire Core Consulting LLC. The Software itself is never provided in source or object code form.
4. Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in the Software — including career lattice structures, reality-anchoring mechanisms, archetypal narrative systems, and self-correction protocols — remain the sole property of Empire Core Consulting LLC. This agreement conveys no ownership.
5. Enforcement
Licensor may pursue all available remedies, including:
- Injunctive relief without bond
- Statutory damages under 18 U.S. Code § 1832
- Recovery of attorney’s fees and enforcement costs
- Criminal referral for trade secret theft
6. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA. Venue for any dispute is in Wyoming state or federal court.
By remitting the $100,000 deposit, Licensee irrevocably agrees to these terms.
