LICENSE

This LICENSE section defines the legal permissions and restrictions regarding the use of Catalyst Finance’s software, brand assets, and proprietary methodologies.

1. SOFTWARE LICENSE

The Catalyst Finance dashboard and associated smart contracts (the "Software") are provided under a Proprietary License.

• Limited Usage: Lenders are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the Software solely for the purpose of managing their personal 90-day liquidity cycles.

• Prohibitions: You may not sub-license, sell, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer the rights to the Software. Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or attempting to extract the source code of the proprietary AI HFT algorithms is strictly prohibited.

1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) RIGHTS

All rights, titles, and interests in and to the Protocol, including but not limited to the $CATALYST token design, the "90-Day Loop" framework, the P2C lending model architecture, and the "Catalyst Finance" branding, remain the exclusive property of the Protocol’s founding entity.

1. OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS

Certain elements of the Catalyst Finance ecosystem (such as specific front-end libraries or standard SPL token contracts on the Solana network) may be subject to third-party open-source licenses (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0, or GNU GPL).

• These components are used in accordance with their respective licenses.

• The inclusion of open-source components does not grant the user any rights over the Protocol’s proprietary "Revenue Engines" or trade desk logic.

1. BRAND AND MEDIA ASSETS

• Trademarks: The names "Catalyst Finance," "Project Catalyst," and the stylized "C" logo are trademarks of the Protocol.

• Permitted Use: Community members and referrers are granted a limited license to use official marketing banners and logos for the sole purpose of promoting the Protocol via their unique referral links.

• Brand Integrity: Any use of Catalyst Finance branding that is misleading, libelous, or used to promote "scam" projects or phishing sites will result in an immediate permanent ban from the Protocol and potential legal action.

1. "AS-IS" PROVISION

The Software and documentation are provided "AS IS," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. In no event shall the authors or copyright holders be liable for any claim, damages, or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort, or otherwise, arising from, out of, or in connection with the Software or the use or other dealings in the Software.

1. TERMINATION OF LICENSE

The license granted herein terminates automatically if you fail to comply with the Terms and Conditions or the Privacy Policy. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Protocol and destroy any proprietary materials in your possession.
