Product license agreement

Effective date: 29 August 2026

Version: 1.1

This End User License Agreement is a contract between the person or entity identified as the seller or licensor on the product page, checkout, invoice, or order confirmation and the person or organization acquiring Lifebase. By affirmatively accepting this Agreement at checkout, downloading Lifebase after being presented with it, or using Lifebase under an authorized order, the User agrees to these terms.

1. Definitions

  • Lifebase: the proprietary vault structure, documents, templates, agent skills, playbooks, configuration, scripts, validators, updates, and other original materials delivered under an authorized order.
  • Licensor: the Lifebase copyright holder or a party authorized to grant the applicable license.
  • Seller: the person or entity identified as the seller of record at checkout or in the order confirmation. The Seller and Licensor may be different parties.
  • User: the individual or organization that lawfully acquires a license.
  • Order Terms: the product description, license tier, price, support or update promise, and other terms shown on the product page, at checkout, or in the order confirmation.
  • User Content: notes, journals, schedules, tasks, attachments, profiles, and other material created, collected, or imported by the User.
  • Third-Party Components: Obsidian, community plugins, and other software or material not owned by the Licensor.

2. Eligibility and acceptance

The User must have legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. A person accepting on behalf of an organization represents that they are authorized to bind that organization.

An individual license cannot be used as an organization license. If the checkout does not expressly identify an organization or team license, the license is personal.

3. Personal license

Subject to payment and compliance with this Agreement, a personal order grants one individual a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the purchased Lifebase version on devices owned or controlled by that individual.

The licensed individual may:

  • use Lifebase on any number of personally controlled devices;
  • modify notes, templates, settings, and instructions for personal operation;
  • synchronize personal copies between their own devices;
  • create reasonable backup and recovery copies;
  • process Lifebase with an AI agent or service for that individual’s own record management; and
  • use, migrate, export, and publish their own User Content.

Family members, friends, colleagues, clients, and other organization members need their own appropriate license unless the Order Terms expressly permit shared use.

4. Organization and commercial use

Company, team, educational, client-service, managed-service, internal-deployment, and customer-delivery uses require an organization or commercial license stated in the Order Terms or a separate written agreement.

A personal license does not authorize the User to install, customize, or deliver Lifebase for a third party as part of paid or unpaid services.

5. Restrictions

Except where the Order Terms, a separate written agreement, a Third-Party Component license, or mandatory law expressly permits it, the User may not:

  • share, distribute, publish, sell, rent, lend, transfer, sublicense, or make Lifebase or a modified copy available to another person;
  • make Lifebase available through a public or access-uncontrolled repository, website, AI context, file-sharing service, or dataset;
  • share a purchase account, download link, license key, or product copy;
  • extract and distribute Lifebase templates, skills, playbooks, configuration, scripts, or a substantial portion as a separate product, service, course, dataset, or customer deliverable;
  • use Lifebase to create a competing template pack, vault distribution, agent operating system, or substantially similar commercial product;
  • provide proprietary Lifebase materials for model training, fine-tuning, evaluation corpora, retrieval corpora, or development of a competing AI product;
  • remove or obscure copyright, trademark, license, or source notices;
  • bypass access controls or facilitate unauthorized access; or
  • use Lifebase unlawfully or in a way that infringes another person’s rights.

This section does not restrict the User’s own User Content or rights granted directly under a Third-Party Component license.

6. Ownership and User Content

Lifebase is licensed, not sold. The Licensor retains all rights in proprietary Lifebase materials and their protected expression.

The User retains ownership of User Content. The Licensor does not acquire ownership of journals, notes, attachments, imported records, or personal material created through the User’s operation of Lifebase.

Publishing User Content does not authorize publication of an embedded Lifebase template, skill, playbook, script, or other substantial proprietary material.

7. Local operation, AI, and external services

Lifebase is designed as a local file-based workspace. The Seller does not receive the User’s vault content merely because the User runs Lifebase.

When the User activates, installs, or updates Lifebase through the official CLI, the Seller may process the minimum license, random installation identifier, device, release, terms-acceptance, download, and security metadata described in the Privacy Policy. The CLI does not send vault contents or local merge material to the Seller.

Obsidian, AI providers, synchronization services, backup services, Git hosts, plugin developers, and other services selected by the User operate under their own terms and privacy practices. The User is responsible for deciding which User Content to provide to those services.

Personal inference and automation are permitted under Section 3. That permission does not grant an AI provider or any other third party a continuing right to incorporate proprietary Lifebase materials into a model or dataset.

8. Third-Party Components

Third-Party Components remain governed by their own licenses and terms. Nothing in this Agreement limits rights granted directly under those licenses. Current notices are provided in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

Third-Party Components may change, stop working, introduce security risks, or become unavailable independently of the Licensor. The User should review community plugins before enabling executable code.

9. Delivery, updates, and support

The licensed version, delivery method, update period, and support scope are limited to the Order Terms. Future versions, feature additions, migration work, installation assistance, and individual consulting are not included unless expressly stated.

Updates may be offered under updated terms. Terms for an already purchased version are not changed retroactively without the User’s agreement, except where a change is required to comply with law or protect security and does not materially reduce the purchased license.

10. Term and termination

The license begins when the authorized order is completed and continues for the duration stated in the Order Terms. If no term is stated, the license to the purchased version is perpetual, subject to this Agreement.

The license may terminate if the User materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure a curable breach after notice and a reasonable opportunity to do so. Immediate termination may apply to deliberate unauthorized distribution, resale, access-control circumvention, or infringement.

After termination, the User must stop using and delete proprietary Lifebase materials and unauthorized copies. The User may retain and export User Content in ordinary Markdown, attachment, or other generally usable formats.

11. Refunds and digital-content rights

Refunds are governed by REFUND_POLICY.md, the Order Terms, the checkout provider’s applicable terms, and mandatory law.

Where lawful, immediate access to downloadable digital content may require the User’s prior express consent to begin delivery and acknowledgement that a statutory withdrawal right may be lost once delivery begins. This does not waive remedies for failure to supply, material nonconformity, fraud, or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lifebase is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Licensor does not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, compatibility with every device or plugin version, preservation against data loss, or continued availability of a third-party service.

The User is responsible for maintaining independent backups and reviewing executable plugins and automation before use.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes an express warranty in the Order Terms or a statutory guarantee, consumer right, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither the Licensor nor Seller is liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential loss, including loss of data, opportunity, profit, or business, arising from Lifebase or a Third-Party Component.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of the Licensor and Seller arising from the applicable order will not exceed the amount the User paid for that order.

These limitations do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury caused by negligence where liability cannot be excluded, infringement by the Licensor, or any other liability or consumer remedy that mandatory law does not allow the parties to limit.

14. Privacy

Personal information related to purchase, delivery, support, and optional communications is handled as described in PRIVACY_POLICY.md and the notices presented by the checkout, payment, and support providers.

15. Governing law and mandatory local rights

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless the Order Terms expressly state otherwise.

This choice does not deprive a consumer of mandatory protections available under the law that would apply without the choice. A consumer may bring a claim in any forum that applicable mandatory law makes available. Nothing in this Agreement requires a consumer to waive a non-waivable right.

16. Language

This English version controls unless the checkout or order confirmation expressly designates a localized version as controlling. A translation is provided for convenience. If mandatory law requires a localized term or interpretation, that requirement prevails.

17. General terms

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions continue in effect. Failure to enforce a provision once is not a waiver.

The User may not assign this Agreement except where mandatory law permits. The Licensor or Seller may assign it as part of a merger, reorganization, or transfer of the Lifebase business, provided that the User’s purchased rights are not materially reduced.

The Order Terms, this Agreement, the proprietary license notice, and any signed written agreement form the agreement for the applicable license. A signed written agreement and expressly stated Order Terms control over conflicting general language in this Agreement. Third-Party Component licenses control for their respective components.
