Official Execution Template for Enterprise, Financial, and Air-Gapped Deployments
🏢 Enterprise Legal Framework:
This Master Enterprise Software License Agreement governs the procurement, air-gapped on-premises deployment, Zero Data Retention guarantees, and 99.99% availability commitments for Fortune 500, banking, and sovereign defense clients.

This Master Enterprise Software License Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between Cantor Labs (Representative: Oh-dong-kyu, "Company"), organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea, and the corporate entity executing this Agreement or an associated Order Form ("Customer").

Section 1. Definitions

1. "Software" means the `cdx-a2a-slimmer` Enterprise Suite developed and supplied by Company, including Python SDKs, compiled C++ binaries (`.so`, `.dll`, `.pyd`), Docker sidecar containers, associated CLI utilities, and cryptographic offline air-gapped license tokens.
2. "Order Form" means a mutually executed ordering schedule referencing this Agreement specifying licensed tiers, authorized node counts, term, fees, and deployment parameters.
3. "Air-Gapped Environment" means Customer's isolated corporate intranet physically or logically decoupled 100% from public telecommunication networks.
4. "Customer Data" means all prompts, tool schemas, raw conversation payloads, parameters, and AI-generated outputs processed through the Software.

Section 2. Enterprise License Grant & Scope of Use

1. Grant of License: Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Order Form, Company grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable worldwide license to deploy and execute the Software strictly within Customer's private corporate perimeter up to authorized node limits.
2. Internal Use Only: Sublicensing, leasing, or operating the Software as a service-bureau or MSP without prior written consent is strictly prohibited.
3. Benchmarking & Competitive Model Distillation Restrictions (DeWitt Clause): Customer shall not disclose, publish, or disseminate benchmark results or comparative evaluations of the Software without prior written consent, nor utilize the Software, its schema definitions, AST representations, or its outputs to train, develop, fine-tune, or optimize any competing payload compression or token optimization product, model, or service.

Section 3. Delivery & Air-Gapped Implementation

1. Offline Air-Gapped Delivery: Within three (3) business days following mutual execution, Company delivers standalone offline deployment assets (Docker images, encrypted tar archives, Ed25519 digital license keys) requiring zero outbound network traffic.
2. Architecture Support: For Enterprise Sovereign engagements, Company provides dedicated senior engineering advisory for private VPC subnet topology and air-gapped enclave setup.
