Free to build with, licensed when you ship

Scope of these terms

These terms are the general licence governing all use of the VisQuill GDK, including free and non-commercial use. Commercial licences are additionally governed by a separate written licence agreement provided when you license the GDK. Where that signed agreement differs from these terms, the signed agreement governs for the licensee.

1. Grant of licence

Subject to the terms of this licence, VisQuill ("Licensor") grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence to use the VisQuill GDK (the "GDK") under the tier that applies to your use: free for non-commercial use, or under a commercial licence for commercial, user-facing use.

2. Permitted non-commercial use

Non-commercial use includes personal projects, academic research, educational purposes, and open-source projects that do not generate revenue. Use of the GDK is permitted provided that:

1. The "Made with VisQuill" label rendered by the GDK remains visible and unmodified in all output; and
2. The GDK is not used, directly or indirectly, in a commercial product or service without a separate commercial licence.

3. Commercial use

Any use of the GDK in a commercial context — including but not limited to use in a paid product, SaaS service, or client deliverable — requires a commercial licence. Commercial licences are priced by number of developers: a Freelancer licence for independent freelancers and sole traders, a Small licence for organisations of up to 5 developers, and a per-developer fee for each developer beyond the 5th. You may build and sell products made with the GDK under a commercial licence; you may not resell the GDK itself as a standalone library. Contact contact@visquill.com for enquiries.

4. VisQuill Lab

Code available in VisQuill Lab is separately licensed under the MIT Licence and may be used freely for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, subject to the MIT Licence terms.

5. Restrictions

You may not:

1. Use the GDK for commercial purposes without a valid commercial licence;
2. Remove, obscure, or alter the "Made with VisQuill" attribution label, whether visible to end users or embedded in the underlying output (including SVG markup or metadata);
3. Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the GDK itself as a standalone product or service (this does not restrict building and distributing your own products made with the GDK under a commercial licence);
4. Use the GDK in any manner that violates applicable law.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The GDK is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Licensor does not warrant that the GDK will be error-free, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Licensor shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the use or inability to use the GDK.

1. Grant of licence

Subject to the terms of this licence, VisQuill ("Licensor") grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence to use VisQuill Lens (the "Software") and to publish visualizations and exported viewer files produced by the Software ("Output").

2. Free use with attribution

Use of the Software and publication of Output is permitted free of charge provided that:

1. The "Made with VisQuill" attribution link, as rendered by the Software, remains visible and unmodified in all Output; and
2. The Software is used as provided, without modification to its source code or compiled assets.

3. White-label licence

Removal or concealment of the attribution link, modification of the Software, or use of the Software in a context where the attribution link is not displayed requires a separate written commercial licence agreement with the Licensor. Please contact contact@visquill.com.

4. Evaluation version

Evaluation versions of the Software are provided solely for the purpose of assessing the Software prior to purchase. Evaluation versions may not be used in production environments, deployed to end users, or included in any commercial or non-commercial product without a valid licence.

5. Restrictions

You may not:

1. Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Software or any substantial portion of it as a standalone product or service;
2. Modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software;
3. Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, attribution links, or labels within the Software or Output, whether visible to end users or embedded in the underlying file (including SVG markup or metadata);
4. Use the Software in any manner that violates applicable law.

6. Ownership

The Software remains the exclusive property of VisQuill. This licence does not transfer any ownership rights. Output produced by the Software using your own data remains your property, subject to the attribution requirements above.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The Licensor does not warrant that the Software will be error-free or uninterrupted.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Licensor shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the use or inability to use the Software.
