Telion desktop software license agreement

Version 2026-09-10.

TELION DESKTOP SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

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 aged 18 or older. Educational and Academic Research
access requires a verified account email whose domain ends in .edu. This
requirement applies equally to Google sign-in and Telion email accounts.
Eligible adults, including students, may purchase these plans directly; no
separate institution agreement is required. Accounts for minors 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.

  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. Educational and Academic
Research account eligibility is checked through the verified .edu email
requirement, not through an institution agreement or separate enrollment or
employment verification. Email eligibility does not authorize commercial use
or prove the purpose of a project. 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 AI connections require separate, revocable consent.
Telion creates diagnostic reports locally as described in the Privacy
Notice. Sending a report to Telion support requires a separate review and an
explicit Send Report action. Model source requires separate opt-in. Project
or result content is not sent unless the user explicitly includes it in 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.
