TELION DESKTOP SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

PUBLISHER-REVIEW DRAFT — NOT APPROVED FOR COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
Draft version: 2026-09-05

This draft is an engineering control document. Telion's issuing legal entity,
registered address, effective date, governing law, venue, dispute terms,
warranty language, liability limits, refund terms, and required regional terms
must be completed and reviewed by TELION LLC before release.

1. ACCEPTANCE AND AUTHORITY

You may install, activate, or use Telion only after accepting the version of
this Agreement, the Privacy Notice, and the Safety Notice identified in your
signed Telion license credential. If you accept for an organization, you
represent that you are authorized to bind that organization. Direct individual
accounts are for adults. Student access must be provided only through an
eligible institution-managed arrangement authorized by a signed institutional
agreement. Direct student accounts and self-service Educational purchases are
not available.

2. LICENSE IS LIMITED BY THE PURCHASED PLAN

Telion grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the
software only for the users, devices, compute class, model size, organization,
and permitted purpose of the active plan or signed enterprise order. Pricing
page descriptions are summaries; this Agreement, the signed entitlement, and
any signed order form control.

The correct plan is determined by the actual purpose and beneficiary of the
work, not by the user's email address, job title, academic affiliation, or who
pays the subscription. Work performed for an employer, client, customer,
sponsor, product, service, revenue-generating activity, internal business
operation, regulatory submission, production decision, or commercial
deliverable is Commercial Use unless a signed order expressly says otherwise.

You must change to an eligible plan before the purpose, beneficiary, user
count, device count, model size, or compute requirements exceed the current
plan. An Educational or Academic Research entitlement may not be used to avoid
the price or terms of a commercial plan. A commercial business may not use a
Free, Individual, Educational, or Academic Research entitlement for its work,
including by asking a student, instructor, employee, contractor, or university
collaborator to perform the work under that restricted entitlement.

3. PLAN-SPECIFIC PERMITTED USE

Free
- One account user and one machine for 30 days after the one-time activation.

  production decisions, or other Commercial Use.

  Individual apply to every member and project.

  with CPU and GPU compute and the machine allowance shown by the entitlement.

- Access may not be shared with clients, affiliates, or other organizations.

Enterprise
- Permitted users, organizations, deployment, compute, model size, and purposes
  are those stated in the signed enterprise order.
- Where a signed enterprise order conflicts with this Agreement, the order
  controls only for the expressly identified conflict.

4. ACCOUNT, SEAT, AND ELIGIBILITY INTEGRITY

Credentials and named-user seats may not be sold, transferred, pooled, or
shared. You must keep eligibility and organization information accurate and
promptly stop restricted use when eligibility ends. Academic-domain ownership
alone does not prove enrollment, employment, institutional authorization, or a
noncommercial purpose. Telion may request reasonably necessary evidence of
plan eligibility and use, subject to the Privacy Notice and confidentiality
obligations. Telion may suspend mismatched use while providing a reasonable
path to correct or upgrade the plan, except where immediate action is required
by law, security, fraud prevention, or third-party license terms.

5. ENGINEERING AND SCIENTIFIC USE

Telion is decision-support software. You are responsible for model selection,
inputs, assumptions, mesh quality, convergence, validation, interpretation,
and compliance with professional and regulatory obligations. Results must be
independently reviewed and validated by qualified people. Telion must not be
used as the sole basis for safety certification, regulatory approval, or
life-critical control. A plan that permits Commercial Use does not certify a
model, result, design, or professional decision.

6. AI SERVICES AND DIAGNOSTICS

Optional AI connections may send selected prompts, project context, or other
identified data to the provider chosen by the user. Provider terms, privacy
practices, supported territories, and charges are separate from Telion. Telion
must present and record the applicable connection disclosure before sending
data. Optional diagnostics are disabled by default and require separate,
revocable consent. Project or result content is not included unless the user
explicitly attaches it to a support submission.

7. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE AND OPEN-SOURCE RIGHTS

Telion includes third-party software governed by separate terms. Those terms
control for the applicable component where required. Nothing in this Agreement
limits rights granted by an applicable open-source license, including lawful
debugging, modification, relinking, or replacement rights for covered LGPL
components. Installed Third-Party Notices and the Open-Source Source Offer
identify the applicable components and materials.

8. OWNERSHIP AND USER MATERIALS

Subject to third-party rights, Telion retains rights in the software and its
documentation. Users retain their rights in models, inputs, scripts, and
results. Supplying material to an AI provider, support request, collaborator,
or external service is the user's choice and responsibility, subject to the
applicable disclosure and terms.

9. PRIVACY, EXPORT, AND TERRITORY

Personal data is handled under the versioned Privacy Notice identified by the
license credential. Use, download, updates, AI connections, and entitlement
issuance are limited to the countries, persons, organizations, and purposes
approved by Telion's active legal-release policy and applicable law.

10. FINAL PRODUCT TERMS REQUIRED

The production version must contain publisher-reviewed provisions for warranty,
disclaimers, liability, indemnity, termination, refunds, automatic renewal,
governing law, dispute resolution, regional consumer rights, notices, and the
complete identity and address of the issuing entity. This draft cannot be used
to authorize public distribution.
