Volt Platform — End User License Agreement (EULA)

Effective date: 2026-04-24 Last updated: 2026-04-24 Hosted at: https://volt.armored.app/legal/eula

This End User License Agreement ("EULA") governs your use of the proprietary, closed-source components of the Volt Platform — specifically VoltStudio and VoltMCP (each a "Licensed Product") — distributed by ArmoredGate LLC ("ArmoredGate," "we," "us," "our," or "Licensor"). It also governs the proprietary commercial features of Voltainer that activate when a valid License Key is present.

This EULA is a legally binding agreement between you (or the organization you represent — together "you" or "Licensee") and ArmoredGate. By installing, copying, or using a Licensed Product, you accept this EULA. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the Licensed Product.

This EULA supplements the Terms of Service at https://volt.armored.app/legal/tos and the Privacy Notice at https://volt.armored.app/legal/privacy. In case of conflict, the EULA controls for closed-source software use, the Privacy Notice controls for personal-data handling, and the Terms of Service control for everything else.

1. Definitions

1.1 "License Key" — the cryptographic activation token issued to you by ArmoredGate that authorizes a specific Licensee to run a specific Licensed Product at a specific subscription tier for a specific term.

1.2 "Licensed Product" — VoltStudio (Desktop), VoltMCP, and any commercial features of Voltainer that require a valid License Key.

1.3 "Open Components" — the source-available components of the Volt Platform distributed under the ArmoredGate Public Source License v2.0 ("AGPSL v2.0") or another ArmoredGate-published source-available license. Open Components are governed by their own license file, not by this EULA, except for §2.4 (interaction with Licensed Products).

1.4 "Permitted User" — a natural person who is your employee, contractor, or agent and who is authorized by you to use the Licensed Product on your behalf and bound to confidentiality terms at least as protective as this EULA.

1.5 "Documentation" — the technical documentation we publish for the Licensed Product.

2. License grant and scope

2.1 Grant. Subject to your continuous compliance with this EULA, the Terms of Service, and timely payment of fees, ArmoredGate grants you, for the term of your active subscription, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, internal-use license to:

(a) install and run the Licensed Product on machines you own, lease, or otherwise control, in the quantity and tier authorized by your License Key; (b) permit Permitted Users to use the Licensed Product on your behalf; (c) make a reasonable number of back-up copies of the Licensed Product binaries, marked with our copyright notices.

2.2 What this license is not. Nothing in this EULA grants you the right to:

(a) any source code of the Licensed Product; (b) any trademark, service mark, trade name, or logo of ArmoredGate, except as needed for accurate factual reference; (c) any right to a future version, patch, or feature, except as set out in §6.

2.3 Single-tenant per key. Each License Key is issued to a single legal entity ("Single-Tenant Rule"). You may not share, transfer, lend, lease, or otherwise make a License Key available to any party that is not (i) the Licensee itself or (ii) a Permitted User of the Licensee. A separate legal entity, including a parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or successor by acquisition, requires its own License Key. Use of a License Key in violation of the Single-Tenant Rule is a material breach of this EULA and may result in immediate revocation of the key (see §10).

2.4 Interaction with Open Components. Voltainer, VoltTray, VoltNative, VoltAPEX, and VoltDisplayBridge include Open Components distributed under AGPSL v2.0. Your use of those Open Components is governed by AGPSL v2.0, whose terms continue to apply whether or not you also hold a License Key. The proprietary commercial features that activate with a License Key (for example: signed enterprise updates, fleet-management endpoints, hardware-key signing integration) are governed by this EULA, not by AGPSL v2.0. Where the two could be read to overlap, this EULA controls only for the proprietary commercial features.

3. License Key issuance and identity

3.1 Issuance. ArmoredGate issues a License Key after we receive your initial subscription payment through Stripe and verify the order. Keys are bound to the Licensee organization recorded at the time of purchase.

3.2 Activation. The Licensed Product contacts ArmoredGate's licensing endpoint to validate the License Key. We log the validation event (timestamp, IP address, salted machine-identifier hash, License Key fingerprint, product version). See the Privacy Notice for the complete data flow.

3.3 Air-gapped environments. If you operate in an environment that cannot reach our licensing endpoint, contact licensing@armoredgate.com to arrange offline activation. Offline activation is not available for evaluation or trial keys.

3.4 Key rotation. ArmoredGate may rotate the cryptographic material that signs License Keys at any time and require re-activation; we will give at least thirty (30) days' notice for non-emergency rotations.

4. Use restrictions

In addition to the restrictions in Terms of Service §5, you will not, and will not permit any Permitted User or third party to:

(a) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Licensed Product or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent applicable law permits notwithstanding this restriction (in which case you must give us prior written notice and a reasonable opportunity to provide the necessary information);

(b) modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Licensed Product;

(c) circumvent, disable, or tamper with the License Key validation, signature verification, hardware-key binding, watermarking, or any other security or licensing mechanism;

(d) redistribute the Licensed Product, in whole or in part, in any form (compiled, packaged, containerized, embedded, mirrored, or otherwise), to any party that is not a Permitted User of the Licensee;

(e) use the Licensed Product to provide a managed, hosted, or "as a Service" offering to third parties — this is reserved for ArmoredGate and for partners with a separate written agreement;

(f) embed the Licensed Product in a product you offer to others (including OEM, white-label, or system-integrator distribution) without a separate written agreement with ArmoredGate;

(g) use evaluation, beta, trial, NFR, or developer keys in a production environment;

(h) remove or obscure any proprietary notices in the Licensed Product or the Documentation;

(i) publish performance benchmarks of the Licensed Product without our prior written consent (this restriction does not apply to Open Components, which you may benchmark and publish under their license).

5. Open-source and third-party components

5.1 Bundled OSS. The Licensed Product incorporates third-party open-source software. A complete attribution notice is shipped in each release as THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES, listing each component, its license, and its source URL. Compatible licenses include, without limitation, Apache License 2.0, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, ISC, MPL 2.0, LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3.0, GPL-2.0, GPL-3.0, AGPL-3.0, Eclipse Public License 2.0, and the ArmoredGate Public Source License v2.0. Where a bundled component's license grants you rights broader than this EULA, those broader rights apply to that component only.

5.2 No MIT-licensed code. ArmoredGate does not distribute any component of the Licensed Product under the MIT license, and we do not knowingly bundle MIT-licensed third-party components in the proprietary closed-source modules of the Licensed Product. If you believe we have done so in error, notify legal@armoredgate.com so we can investigate and remediate.

5.3 AGPSL v2.0 components. When the Licensed Product calls into an Open Component, the Open Component continues to be distributed under AGPSL v2.0 and its source remains available per that license.

6. Updates, support, and lifecycle

6.1 Updates. During an active subscription you are entitled to all minor and patch releases of the Licensed Product for which your License Key tier is eligible. Major version upgrades may require a new License Key tier; we will publish upgrade paths and pricing at the time of the major release.

6.2 Support. Support level is determined by your subscription tier. Standard tiers receive email support during U.S. business hours; higher tiers may receive faster response targets and direct escalation paths as published at the point of purchase.

6.3 End of life. We may discontinue a Licensed Product or major version on at least one hundred eighty (180) days' notice to active subscribers. If we discontinue a Licensed Product mid-term, we will offer a pro rata refund for the unused portion of any prepaid period.

7. Compliance and audit

7.1 Records. You will keep reasonable records of the deployments, machines, and Permitted Users associated with your License Keys for so long as your subscription is active and for one (1) year afterward.

7.2 Audit. No more than once in any twelve-month period, on at least thirty (30) days' written notice, ArmoredGate may audit (or have an independent auditor audit, under confidentiality terms) your use of the Licensed Product to verify compliance with this EULA. Audits will be conducted during business hours, will minimize disruption, and will not require us to access your Customer Content. If an audit reveals underpayment of more than five percent (5%), you will pay the underpaid fees and reasonable audit costs.

8. FIPS-140-3 — forward-looking statement

ArmoredGate is pursuing FIPS-140-3 validation for the Voltainer signing and verification module, anchored to a hardware GPG signing ceremony scheduled for the week of 2026-04-27. The validation pathway is intended to cover:

Until the validation certificate is issued and published at https://volt.armored.app/compliance, ArmoredGate makes no representation, warranty, or commitment that any component of the Licensed Product is FIPS-140-3 validated, FIPS-140-3 compliant, FIPS-140-2 validated (legacy), or otherwise certified for use in environments that require validated cryptography. You may not rely on a future certificate that does not yet exist. We will publish the certificate identifier, module identifier, validation level, and effective date when validation completes, and we will identify the specific Licensed Product version(s) covered by it.

9. Confidentiality

9.1 Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by either party that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, including the License Key (which is ArmoredGate Confidential Information), the structure and design of the Licensed Product, ArmoredGate's pricing and roadmap, and your non-public technical and business information.

9.2 Obligations. Each party will (a) protect the other's Confidential Information using at least the same care it uses for its own (and never less than reasonable care), (b) use it only to exercise rights and perform obligations under this EULA, and (c) disclose it only to its personnel and contractors who need to know it and who are bound by confidentiality terms at least as protective as this §9. Confidentiality obligations survive termination for three (3) years, and indefinitely for trade secrets.

10. Term and termination

10.1 Term. This EULA is effective when you first install or use the Licensed Product and continues until the underlying subscription terminates or until terminated under §10.2.

10.2 Termination. ArmoredGate may suspend the License Key and terminate this EULA immediately if (a) you breach §2.3 (Single-Tenant Rule), §4 (Use restrictions), §5 (third-party-component compliance), or §9 (Confidentiality) and either the breach is incurable or you fail to cure within fifteen (15) days of notice; (b) you fail to pay subscription fees and the failure continues for fifteen (15) days after notice; (c) you become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding; or (d) we are required to do so by law.

10.3 Effect. On termination, your license to the Licensed Product ends immediately, your active License Key is revoked, and you must, within thirty (30) days, (a) stop all use of the Licensed Product, (b) uninstall the Licensed Product from all machines under your control, and (c) on request, certify in writing that you have done so. Sections 1, 2.3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10.3, 11, 12, 13, and 14 survive termination.

11. Warranty disclaimer

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS EULA, THE LICENSED PRODUCT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARMOREDGATE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. ARMOREDGATE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE LICENSED PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE AGAINST EVERY POSSIBLE THREAT, OR THAT IT IS SUITABLE FOR ANY REGULATED ENVIRONMENT (SEE §8 REGARDING FIPS-140-3).

12. Limitation of liability

12.1 Cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARMOREDGATE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS EULA OR THE LICENSED PRODUCT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID FOR THE LICENSED PRODUCT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).

12.2 Excluded damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12.3 Carve-outs. The caps and exclusions in §12.1 and §12.2 do not apply to (a) your payment obligations, (b) breach of §2.3 (Single-Tenant Rule), §4 (Use restrictions), or §9 (Confidentiality), (c) infringement of the other party's intellectual property, or (d) liabilities that cannot be limited under applicable law.

13. Government end users

The Licensed Product is "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" within the meaning of FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202.
