Copyright © 2026 Honology. All rights reserved.
1. Definitions
“Licensor” means Honology, the owner of the Software.
“Software” means the contents of the CrossXCloud Client repository in every form and revision: source code, object code, build scripts, configuration, schemas, protocol definitions, design documents, specifications, test fixtures, assets, and documentation, together with the repository’s history and every branch, tag, and archived revision within it.
“You” means any person or entity accessing the Software.
“Third-Party Components” means software authored by parties other than Licensor and incorporated into or distributed with the Software under its own licence, as described in section 7.
“Authorised Person” has the meaning given in section 4.
2. Ownership and reservation of rights
2.1 The Software is the confidential, proprietary, and trade-secret property of Licensor, protected by copyright law, trade secret law, and applicable international treaties.
2.2 The Software is licensed, not sold. No title to or ownership of the Software passes to You under this License, under any employment or contractor agreement, or by virtue of access to the repository.
2.3 All rights are reserved. Any right not expressly granted in writing by Licensor is withheld. Neither publication of the repository, nor the grant of access to it, nor Licensor’s failure to enforce any term, constitutes a licence, waiver, or grant of rights by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
2.4 Where You are an Authorised Person and create, contribute, or commit any work to the Software, all right, title, and interest in that contribution vests in Licensor to the fullest extent permitted by law, effective on creation. Where such vesting is not automatic, You hereby assign those rights to Licensor and agree to execute any document reasonably required to record the assignment.
3. No grant of rights
3.1 This document grants no licence, right, or permission of any kind.
3.2 Without the prior express written permission of Licensor, no person may:
- use, execute, run, or evaluate the Software;
- copy, reproduce, mirror, fork, or store the Software, in whole or in part, on any medium or service;
- modify, adapt, translate, port, or create derivative works of the Software;
- distribute, publish, disclose, sublicense, sell, lease, rent, lend, or otherwise transfer the Software or access to it;
- host the Software, or make it available as a service, whether or not for a fee;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any compiled form of the Software, except to the exact extent that such a restriction is unenforceable under applicable law;
- use the Software, or any knowledge of its design derived from access to it, to develop, train, or improve a product or service that competes with CrossXCloud;
- incorporate the Software into any dataset used to train a machine learning model, or submit it to any service that so uses it; or
- remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trade mark, or proprietary notice contained in the Software.
3.3 Section 3.2 applies to every part of the Software without exception. For the avoidance of doubt, no permission is granted to extract, reuse, or repurpose any component in isolation, whether or not that component is separable from the whole and whether or not it is of independent utility. This includes without limitation: the cloud provider strategy implementations and the provider registry; the credential keystore and the passphrase-sealed vault, including their envelope-encryption scheme and key handling; the enrollment issuer, certificate store, and the trust hierarchy and chain formats they implement; the reconciliation, planning, and apply engines; the canvas editor, its node and graph models, and its serialisation formats; and the Go-to-frontend bridge and its binding conventions.
4. Authorised access
4.1 An “Authorised Person” is an employee, officer, contractor, or agent of Licensor whom Licensor has expressly authorised in writing to access the Software.
4.2 An Authorised Person may access, copy, execute, and modify the Software solely as necessary to develop, test, operate, and maintain it on Licensor’s behalf, and solely within the scope of their engagement.
4.3 This permission is subject to any confidentiality, employment, contractor, or intellectual property agreement in force between that person and Licensor. Where this License and such an agreement conflict, the terms more protective of Licensor govern.
4.4 Authorisation terminates automatically and without notice on the earlier of: termination of the underlying engagement; written withdrawal of authorisation by Licensor; or breach of this License.
4.5 On termination of authorisation, the person must cease all use of the Software and, on request, destroy or return all copies in their possession or control, including local clones, working trees, build artefacts, and backups, and confirm in writing that they have done so.
5. Confidentiality
5.1 The Software is confidential information of Licensor. An Authorised Person must not disclose it, or any part of it, to any third party without Licensor’s prior written consent.
5.2 Confidentiality obligations survive termination of authorisation indefinitely, and are not limited by the term of any related agreement.
5.3 Section 5.1 does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no act or omission of the recipient, or whose disclosure is compelled by law - provided that, where lawful, the recipient gives Licensor prompt notice and a reasonable opportunity to object.
6. Security obligations
6.1 The Software handles cloud provider credentials and cryptographic key material. An Authorised Person must not commit to the repository any live credential, private key, API token, or other production secret.
6.2 Vulnerabilities discovered in the Software must be reported to Licensor privately and must not be publicly disclosed without Licensor’s prior written consent.
7. Third-party components
7.1 The Software incorporates Third-Party Components, each licensed under its own terms. Those terms govern those components and are not superseded, narrowed, or replaced by this License.
7.2 Nothing in this License restricts, and this License must not be read to restrict, any right granted to You under a Third-Party Component’s own licence with respect to that component.
7.3 A list of Third-Party Components and their required attribution notices is distributed with the compiled application as THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.
8. Relationship to the End User License Agreement
8.1 This License governs the Software as source. It does not grant, and must not be read to grant, any right to use the compiled CrossXCloud Client application.
8.2 Use of the compiled application by end users is governed exclusively by the CrossXCloud End User License Agreement, presented at installation.
9. No warranty
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, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
The Software provisions and modifies live cloud infrastructure and handles cloud provider credentials. Licensor does not warrant that the Software will operate without interruption or error, that it is fit for any particular deployment, or that any operation it performs against any cloud provider will produce any particular result.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR ITS USE.
This includes without limitation any cloud provider charges incurred; any infrastructure created, modified, or destroyed; any loss of data, credentials, or key material; and any interruption of business.
Nothing in this License excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
11. Enforcement, termination, and governing law
11.1 Any breach of this License terminates all permissions granted under it immediately and automatically.
11.2 Licensor may seek injunctive relief for any actual or threatened breach. Money damages would not be an adequate remedy for unauthorised disclosure or use of the Software, and Licensor need not post a bond to obtain such relief.
11.3 If any provision of this License is held unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force.
11.4 This License is governed by the laws of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
