================================================================================
Product: OCTOvaultX — Universal AI Agent Time-Machine & Infinite Memory OS
Publisher: OCTOplux AI Ecosystem (https://octoplux.com)
Editions Covered: Tier 1 (Free Forever Edition) & Tier 2 ($9.99 Lifetime Pro Pass)

IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OCTOVAULTX:
By installing, launching, activating, or running OCTOvaultX (including any CLI
scripts, PowerShell backup engines, Python daemons, or UI dashboards), you
("User" or "Licensee") explicitly agree to be bound by the following 4-Pillar
Legal Exemption and Limitation of Liability Agreement. If you do not agree to
every clause below, do not run or use this software.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PILLAR 1: STRICT "AS-IS" & NO-GUARANTEE-OF-RECOVERY DISCLAIMER (UCC DISCLAIMER)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED STRICTLY "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Third-party AI IDEs and agentic runtimes (including Google Antigravity, Cursor,
Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex Desktop, and Grok), operating system file
systems (Windows NTFS/ReFS, macOS APFS), and third-party cloud drive mounts
(Google Drive for Desktop, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox) modify internal SQLite
database schemas (.db, state.vscdb), protobuf states, LRU cache eviction rules,
and file locks without notice.

OCTOplux makes ZERO (0%) WARRANTY or guarantee that:
(a) Any specific AI conversation, subagent state, SQLite database, transcript,
    vault credential, or media asset will be prevented from eviction, corruption,
    or deletion; or
(b) Any backup snapshot, local RAID mirror, or cloud archive created by
    OCTOvaultX will be 100% restorable or compatible with future versions of
    any third-party AI IDE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PILLAR 2: HARD CUMULATIVE LIABILITY CAP ($0.00 FREE / $9.99 PRO PASS)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL OCTOPLUX,
ITS FOUNDERS, ARCHITECTS, AFFILIATES, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:
- Loss of data, AI conversations, prompts, codebases, or digital assets;
- Loss of business revenue, profits, goodwill, or anticipated savings;
- Loss or consumption of third-party AI API tokens, model quotas, or generation
  credits; or
- Business interruption or system downtime,
HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT
LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

HARD CUMULATIVE CAP: OCTOplux's total cumulative liability arising out of or
related to this Agreement or the use of OCTOvaultX shall NEVER exceed the exact
license fee actually paid by the User to OCTOplux for the Software:
- Tier 1 (Free Forever Edition): ZERO DOLLARS ($0.00 USD).
- Tier 2 ($9.99 One-Time Lifetime Pro Pass): NINE DOLLARS AND NINETY-NINE CENTS
  ($9.99 USD).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PILLAR 3: USER'S SOLE DUTY TO VERIFY ("SHARED 3-2-1 BACKUP RESPONSIBILITY")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Automated backup tools are not a substitute for active operator verification.
The User assumes SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY for:
1. Ensuring that secondary local drives (e.g., D:\) and personal cloud mounts
   (e.g., H:\My Drive, G:\My Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) are physically mounted,
   authenticated, online, and have sufficient free disk/cloud quota;
2. Reviewing backup logs and verifying that scheduled snapshots complete without
   file-lock or disk-full errors; and
3. Performing periodic test restores of critical workspaces, vaults, and AI
   session databases to confirm recoverability before an actual hardware or IDE
   failure occurs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PILLAR 4: 100% LOCAL-FIRST ARCHITECTURE & ZERO CLOUD DATA CUSTODY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCTOvaultX operates on a 100% Local-First, Bring-Your-Own-Storage (BYOS)
architecture. All mirrored files, SQLite databases, transcripts, API vaults,
and compressed .zip snapshots are written strictly to the User's own local
storage devices and the User's own personal cloud storage mounts (Google Drive,
OneDrive, Dropbox).

OCTOplux servers NEVER receive, transmit, host, inspect, or take custody of any
User codebase, conversation transcript, backup archive, or private API key.
The only data transmitted to octoplux.com (Cloudflare D1) is the User's
activation email address and license key status for Tier 1 / Tier 2 activation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5: ECOSYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENTS & CHANGELOG FEED (NON-BLOCKING STATIC JSON)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When an internet connection is available, OCTOvaultX may perform a non-blocking,
read-only HTTP GET request to fetch static changelog updates, documentation
links, and OCTOplux ecosystem tool recommendations from
https://octoplux.com/feeds/ecosystem-recommendations.json.
1. Zero User Data Transmitted: This request transmits zero local user files,
   directory paths, conversation transcripts, or private API credentials.
2. 100% Offline Operation: Any retrieved feed is cached locally in
   ~/.octovaultx_feed_cache.json; if the system is offline or air-gapped,
   OCTOvaultX silently renders from its local cache or built-in default feed
   without interrupting or blocking any backup or recovery operation.
3. Strict Content Security: Feed items are rendered strictly as sanitized text
   and standard web links; remote executable scripts are never evaluated.

================================================================================
BY CHECKING "I ACCEPT THE 4-PILLAR LEGAL SHIELD & $0/$9.99 LIABILITY CAP" IN
THE OCTOVAULTX UI OR RUNNING THE CLI WITH --accept-eula, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO ALL TERMS ABOVE.
