End User License Agreement

GateCore AI Marketplace and Gateway

This End User License Agreement ("EULA") is a companion to, and is incorporated by reference into, the Master Agreement ("Master Agreement") between GateCore AI LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("GateCore") and the Organization. Where the Master Agreement governs the commercial relationship between GateCore and an Organization, this EULA governs (a) the license granted to a Buyer Organization in connection with what it receives through the Marketplace, (b) the acceptable use of the Marketplace platform itself, and (c) the Buyer's handling of personal data contained in a Delivery. Defined terms not otherwise defined here have the meaning given in the Master Agreement.


1. Scope of This EULA

This EULA applies to every Organization that receives a Data Delivery, Agent Task Execution output, or lead through the Marketplace (each, a "Delivery"), and to every Organization's use of the Marketplace platform and of any client software, SDK, API, or Model Context Protocol endpoint GateCore provides for that purpose (the "Platform"). It governs what may be done with a Delivery once received and what may be done with the Platform. It does not govern the commercial terms of a transaction, which are in the Master Agreement.

2. License Grant (Platform)

2.1 Platform License. Subject to the Organization's compliance with this EULA and the Master Agreement, GateCore grants the Organization a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Platform solely to participate in the Marketplace as a Buyer, a Seller, or both, for the Organization's own internal business purposes and those of the Agents it authorizes.

2.2 Restrictions. The Organization shall not, and shall not permit any Agent or third party to: (a) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, structure, or underlying ideas of the Platform, except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable under applicable law and then only after written notice to GateCore; (b) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Platform; (c) rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or provide the Platform as a service bureau to a third party, other than as Section 7.6 of the Master Agreement permits; (d) remove or obscure a proprietary notice; (e) use the Platform to build a competing product, or to benchmark it for publication without GateCore's written consent; (f) exceed a documented rate limit or circumvent a usage meter; or (g) access the Platform other than through the interfaces GateCore documents.

2.3 Reservation. All rights not expressly granted are reserved to GateCore.

3. Per-Listing Content License Framework

This Section 3 is a standardized license-tier framework: a menu of grants a Seller elects from when creating a Listing, machine-readable and machine-evaluable by a Buyer's Agent before purchase. The elections recorded in a Listing's hashed contract are the operative license for that Delivery. GateCore authors the framework as a neutral structure. GateCore is not a party to the license between Seller and Buyer, does not warrant that any tier is adequate for either party's purpose, and does not give either party advice about which to elect.

3.1 Default Rule. Unless a Listing expressly elects otherwise from the tiers below, the most restrictive available option applies. No license right is implied by silence. The license is granted by the Seller to the Buyer, is limited to the Buyer and its Affiliates as Section 3.6 provides, and is subject to the Buyer's payment for the Delivery.

3.2 Internal Use. Presumed granted. The Buyer may use, reproduce, store, and internally display a Delivery for its own internal business purposes, including analysis, reporting, and incorporation into its own internal work product. "Affiliate" means an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Buyer, where control means more than fifty percent of the voting equity.

3.3 Derivative Works. Presumed granted for internal purposes only, and not granted for distribution. The Buyer may create derivative works, analyses, models, summaries, visualizations, and other outputs from a Delivery for its own internal business purposes. As between the Buyer and the Seller, the Buyer owns the elements of a derivative work that the Buyer independently authored, and the Seller retains all right, title, and interest in the Delivery and in any portion of the Delivery that a derivative work embodies. The Buyer may not distribute, publish, license, or otherwise make available a derivative work externally where that work (a) contains the Delivery or a substantial part of it in a form from which the Delivery can be extracted or reconstructed, or (b) functions as a substitute for the Delivery. A Seller may elect to grant external distribution rights on a Listing, in which case the elected scope governs. Aggregated statistics and insights derived from a Delivery that do not permit extraction or reconstruction of the Delivery may be disclosed externally.

3.4 Resale and Relisting. Presumed not granted. The Buyer may not resell, relist, redistribute, syndicate, or otherwise commercially exploit a Delivery, in whole or in substantial part, whether on the Marketplace or elsewhere, and may not list a Delivery as a Seller. A Seller may elect to grant resale or relisting rights on a Listing, in which case (a) the elected scope governs, (b) the Buyer becomes a Seller with respect to that relisting and is bound by Section 8 of the Master Agreement in that capacity, and (c) the Buyer shall record in its own Listing the attribution and onward-transfer conditions carried by the original Listing.

3.5 Model Training. Presumed not granted. The Buyer shall not use a Delivery, or any part of it, to train, fine-tune, pre-train, distill, retrieve into a persistent index for, evaluate, or otherwise develop any machine-learning model, whether the Buyer's own or a third party's, unless the Listing expressly elects to grant that right. This is a limitation on the scope of the license granted and not merely a covenant: use beyond it is unlicensed use. Because a training use cannot be undone and damages are unlikely to be an adequate remedy, the Seller and GateCore are each entitled to seek injunctive relief for a breach of this Section without proving irreparable harm or posting a bond, in addition to any other remedy. On the Seller's written request following a good-faith allegation of breach, the Buyer shall, within twenty (20) business days, deliver a written certification signed by an officer stating whether the Delivery has been used in a manner this Section prohibits and, if so, identifying every model and index involved. A Buyer that uses a Delivery in breach of this Section shall, on the Seller's request, delete every model, checkpoint, and index trained on or containing it and certify that deletion.

3.6 Onward Disclosure. Presumed granted to Affiliates and to contractors, and not granted to customers or other third parties. The Buyer may disclose a Delivery to (a) its Affiliates and (b) its contractors, professional advisers, and service providers, in each case only for the Buyer's own internal business purposes, only to persons who need it for that purpose, and only where that person is bound in writing by confidentiality and use restrictions at least as protective as this Section 3. The Buyer remains fully responsible for each such person's compliance as if it were the Buyer's own. The Buyer may not disclose a Delivery to its own customers or to any other third party unless the Listing expressly elects to grant that right. Disclosure compelled by law is permitted on the terms of Master Agreement Section 17.3.

3.7 Sublicensing Through the Buyer's Own Agents. The Buyer's Agents act as instruments of the Buyer under Master Agreement Section 7, not as independent licensees. A Buyer's Agent's use of a Delivery on the Buyer's behalf and within the Buyer's own licensed scope is not a sublicense and does not require separate authorization. This is so whether the Buyer operates the Agent itself or a third party operates it on the Buyer's behalf under Master Agreement Section 7.6, provided the Agent acts within the Buyer's licensed scope and the Buyer has flowed down the obligations that Section requires.

3.8 Duration, Retention, and Deletion. Unless the Listing states a shorter term:

  • (a) Duration. The license granted for a Delivery is perpetual as to the internal-use rights in Sections 3.2, 3.3, and 3.6, and continues after termination of the Master Agreement, subject to Section 9.2.
  • (b) Retention. The Buyer may retain a Delivery for as long as its licensed use continues and for such further period as the Buyer's own record-retention obligations require.
  • (c) Deletion on request. Where the Seller notifies the Buyer that the Seller's own rights in the Delivery have terminated, that a data subject has exercised a deletion right with respect to personal data in it, or that the Delivery was delivered in error, the Buyer shall delete or de-identify the affected material within thirty (30) days and shall certify that in writing on request. The Buyer may retain a copy to the extent required by law or held in routine backup, which remains subject to this EULA until deleted.
  • (d) Verification. GateCore never held the Provider Content and cannot verify deletion. Verification as between Buyer and Seller is by the Buyer's written certification signed by an officer, which the Seller may rely on. Neither party may call on GateCore to verify, audit, or enforce deletion.

3.9 Re-Election on Material Listing Revision. Because Listings are versioned, a Seller's elections under this Section 3 are tied to a specific Listing version and are re-made, and may be changed, on each material revision, consistent with Master Agreement Section 8.1. A change to a Listing's elections applies only to Deliveries received under the revised version and does not alter the license under which an earlier Delivery was received.

4. Acceptable Use

4.1 Prohibited Uses. The Organization, and any Agent it authorizes, shall not use the Platform to: (a) exceed the scope of any Delegation Token; (b) circumvent, probe, disable, or interfere with GateCore's policy-enforcement, identity, metering, or evidence-generation systems, or with a rate limit; (c) misrepresent the identity of an Agent, the Organization, or the authority under which either acts; (d) use the Marketplace for an unlawful purpose, or to acquire or distribute unlawful material; (e) transmit malware or attempt unauthorized access to the Platform, to another Organization's tenant, or to a Seller's systems; (f) submit a lead or a Listing containing data the Organization is not lawfully entitled to supply; (g) use the Platform to harass, defraud, or discriminate unlawfully against a natural person; or (h) test the security of the Platform without GateCore's prior written authorization and within the scope of that authorization.

4.2 Credential Security. The Organization shall maintain reasonable security controls over the cryptographic key material and credentials issued to or registered for its Agents, shall not share them across Organizations, and shall promptly revoke any Delegation Token or Agent credential it knows or reasonably suspects to be compromised, consistent with Master Agreement Sections 7.3 and 7.4.

4.3 Suspension for Acceptable-Use Breach. GateCore may suspend or terminate access for a breach of this Section 4 under Master Agreement Section 15.1, and, where the breach presents an immediate risk, without prior notice.

5. Intellectual Property Ownership

5.1 Platform IP. GateCore retains all right, title, and interest in the Platform, including the Marketplace software, the identity, delegation, metering, policy, trust, provenance, and evidence-chain mechanisms, and the license-tier templates in Section 3.

5.2 Listing Content. As between GateCore and the Seller, the Seller retains ownership of the underlying asset, data, or work product delivered through a Listing, subject only to the license granted to the Buyer under Section 3. GateCore acquires no ownership interest in Listing content by virtue of intermediating its transaction. GateCore's rights in the record of the transaction are stated in Master Agreement Section 22, and expressly exclude Provider Content.

5.3 Derivative Works. Ownership of derivative works is governed by Section 3.3.

6. Buyer Indemnification

The Buyer's indemnification obligations tied to license-scope violations, including use of a Delivery outside the scope granted under Section 3, are in Master Agreement Section 10.2 and are incorporated here by reference rather than restated.

7. No Warranty; No Endorsement

7.1 No Warranty of Delivery Content. GateCore makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, provenance, legality, or fitness for purpose of any Delivery. Master Agreement Section 11 states the full disclaimer structure and is incorporated here.

7.2 No Endorsement; Verified-Merchant Badge. As Master Agreement Sections 6.2 and 11.3 state, the verified-merchant badge is an identity assertion only and is not an endorsement, a quality signal, or a ranking input.

7.3 Seller Warranties Run to the Buyer. The Seller's representations in Master Agreement Section 8 are made to GateCore and, under Master Agreement Section 21.7, to the Buyer under the affected transaction. They are the Buyer's recourse as to the substance of a Delivery.

8. Notice-and-Takedown; Counter-Notice

8.1 Notice. A rights holder who believes a Listing infringes its copyright or other rights may submit a written notice to GateCore's designated agent at the address in Master Agreement Schedule D. To be compliant, a notice must include:

  • (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right claimed to be infringed;
  • (b) identification of the copyrighted work or other right claimed to be infringed, or, if multiple works at a single Listing are covered by a single notice, a representative list;
  • (c) identification of the material claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit GateCore to locate it, including the Listing identifier and, where known, the Listing version;
  • (d) information reasonably sufficient to permit GateCore to contact the complaining party, including an address, telephone number, and email address;
  • (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • (f) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right claimed to be infringed.

A notice that does not substantially comply with items (a) through (f) may not be treated as adequate to confer knowledge of infringement. GateCore may, in its discretion, act on a non-compliant notice, and doing so is not a waiver of this Section. A person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

8.2 Removal and Counter-Notice. On receipt of a compliant notice, GateCore will expeditiously remove or disable the affected Listing, take reasonable steps to notify the affected Seller, and provide the Seller with a copy of the notice. The Seller may submit a counter-notice to the same designated agent, which to be compliant must include:

  • (a) the Seller's physical or electronic signature;
  • (b) identification of the material removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal, including the Listing identifier and version;
  • (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that the Seller has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
  • (d) the Seller's name, address, and telephone number; and
  • (e) a statement that the Seller consents to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the Seller's address is located, or, if the Seller's address is outside the United States, for the Middle District of Florida, and that the Seller will accept service of process from the complaining party or its agent.

8.3 Restoration. On receipt of a compliant counter-notice, GateCore will promptly provide a copy to the complaining party and will inform that party that GateCore will restore the removed material in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days, unless GateCore first receives notice that the complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

8.4 Non-Copyright Claims. A claim that a Listing infringes a trademark, misappropriates a trade secret, violates a right of publicity or privacy, or otherwise violates a right that is not copyright is submitted through the same channel and is handled under the same removal and counter-notice process, adapted to the right asserted. GateCore's handling of a non-copyright claim is contractual and is not an assertion that a statutory safe harbor applies to it.

8.5 Repeat Infringers. Master Agreement Section 14.4 governs.

8.6 No Duty to Monitor. GateCore has no obligation to monitor Listings for infringement, to seek facts indicating infringing activity, or to act on a claim that is not submitted in accordance with this Section.

9. Suspension and Termination of License

9.1 Suspension. GateCore may suspend the Organization's access to the Platform in the circumstances described in Master Agreement Section 15.1 and on the process stated there.

9.2 Effect on Previously Delivered Content. Termination of the Organization's relationship with GateCore does not, by itself, revoke a license already granted under Section 3 for a Delivery already received, except that on a termination for cause under Master Agreement Section 16.3, or on a termination arising from the Buyer's breach of Section 3 or Section 4 of this EULA, the following forward-looking rights terminate immediately and permanently as to every Delivery the Buyer holds: the right to create new derivative works under Section 3.3, the right to make any onward disclosure under Section 3.6 to a person to whom the Delivery has not already been disclosed, the right to resell or relist under Section 3.4 where that right was elected, and the right to any model-training use under Section 3.5 where that right was elected. The Buyer's right to retain and internally use a Delivery it has already received under Section 3.2, and to continue using a derivative work it created before termination, survives. Termination of the Platform license under Section 2.1 is immediate in every case.

9.3 Seller's Independent Rights. Nothing in this Section limits a Seller's own remedies against a Buyer for breach of the license granted under Section 3, which the Seller may pursue directly under Master Agreement Section 21.7.

10. Terms Versioning and Machine-Readable Acceptance

10.1 The Mechanism. Every Listing's machine-readable contract references a specific, versioned terms identifier, and that reference is included within the bytes that are cryptographically hashed to produce the Listing's contract hash. A change to the referenced terms version produces a different contract hash. When a Buyer's Agent procures a Listing, the procurement record captures the contract hash, and therefore the exact terms version, before delivery occurs, and the signed receipt issued after execution carries the same binding.

10.2 Effect. This mechanism produces, per transaction, a signed record of exactly which version of this EULA, and which license elections under Section 3, governed that transaction, independent of what the Marketplace or this document says today. Amending this EULA creates a new version; existing transactions remain governed by the version live at the time; and migration between versions is a visible, auditable event.

10.3 Acceptance and Re-Acceptance. Acceptance of this EULA operates on three levels, and all three are required:

  • (a) Organizational acceptance at registration. The Organization accepts this EULA and the Master Agreement when it registers a tenant account, by signature, by console action by an authorized operator, or by a cryptographically signed acceptance referencing this EULA's version identifier and content hash. An Agent cannot register a tenant account, and no Agent may accept this EULA on an Organization's behalf for the first time. This is the act that forms the contract.
  • (b) Per-transaction binding. Each subsequent transaction binds the Organization to the specific version referenced by that transaction's contract hash, which the Agent's Delegation Token incorporates by hash. The Organization agrees that its Agent's procurement of a Listing whose contract hash incorporates a terms version is the Organization's assent to that version for that transaction, and that Master Agreement Sections 7.1 and 24.7 govern the effect of that assent.
  • (c) Publication. GateCore publishes each version of this EULA at a stable, verifiable location, together with its version identifier and content hash, so that an Agent may retrieve and evaluate the terms before procuring and so that a party may later verify which version a contract hash incorporated.

10.4 Amendment. Amendments to this EULA are governed by Master Agreement Section 21.1, including the affirmative re-acceptance requirement for material changes. Notice of an amendment is given both by the mechanism in Master Agreement Section 21.3 and by a machine-readable notice on the API, so that an Agent can detect a version change programmatically. Where an Organization has not accepted a new version, its Agents continue to transact under the version the Organization last accepted until the earlier of that Organization's acceptance and termination under Master Agreement Section 21.1(c).

11. Export Control and Sanctions Compliance

The Organization represents and warrants that it is not, and is not owned or controlled by, a person on the United States Specially Designated Nationals list or any other applicable restricted party list, is not located in or ordinarily resident in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction, and will not make the Platform, a Delivery, or Provider Content available to such a person or in such a jurisdiction. The Organization shall not export or re-export a Delivery in violation of the United States Export Administration Regulations or the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and shall not use the Platform or a Delivery in connection with the development of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology. Where a Listing carries data subject to an export control classification, the Seller shall declare it in the Listing and the Buyer shall not procure it without holding any required authorization.

12. Personal Data in Deliveries: Buyer Obligations and Controller-to-Controller Terms

This Section states the Buyer's obligations with respect to personal data contained in a Delivery. It is the "license framework" referenced by Master Agreement Sections 13.4 and 13.5. As between the Buyer and the Seller, each acts as an independent controller, and each determines the purposes and means of its own processing. Neither is the other's processor. GateCore is not a party to the relationship this Section creates.

12.1 Permitted Purpose. The Buyer shall process personal data contained in a Delivery only for the purpose stated in the Listing and for no other purpose, and shall not use it for a purpose incompatible with the purpose for which the Seller collected it.

12.2 Lawful Basis and Notice. The Buyer is responsible for having a lawful basis for its own processing and for giving any notice its own processing requires. The Seller's representations under Master Agreement Section 8.1(d) address the lawfulness of the Seller's collection and disclosure and do not establish a basis for the Buyer's use.

12.3 Security. The Buyer shall implement and maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal data in a Delivery, which at a minimum include encryption in transit and at rest, access control on a need-to-know basis, logging of access, and a documented incident-response process.

12.4 Onward Transfer. Section 3.6 governs onward disclosure. Where the Buyer discloses personal data to a person permitted under Section 3.6, the Buyer shall bind that person in writing to protections at least as protective as this Section 12 and remains responsible for that person's compliance.

12.5 Consumer and Data-Subject Rights. The Buyer shall honor a consumer or data-subject request it receives with respect to its own processing, shall honor a suppression, opt-out, or consent-revocation instruction it receives from the Seller or the individual, and shall route to the Seller any request that concerns the Seller's own collection or records. Master Agreement Section 23.5 governs a request that reaches GateCore.

12.6 Retention and Deletion. Section 3.8 governs. The Buyer shall not retain personal data in a Delivery longer than its permitted purpose requires.

12.7 Breach Notice. The Buyer shall notify the Seller and GateCore without undue delay, and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours, of becoming aware of a security incident affecting personal data in a Delivery, and shall provide the information the Seller reasonably needs to meet its own notification obligations.

12.8 Sensitive and Regulated Categories. The Buyer shall not procure, and the Seller shall not deliver, protected health information, financial-institution customer information, biometric identifiers, precise geolocation, government-issued identifiers, information concerning a person known to be a minor, or other sensitive personal information except under a Listing to which the Regulated Data Rider applies.

12.9 Prohibited Uses. The Buyer shall not use personal data in a Delivery (a) to attempt to re-identify an individual from data represented as de-identified or aggregated, (b) as a factor in an eligibility determination governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act unless Master Agreement Section 9.3(c) is satisfied, (c) for cross-context behavioral advertising unless the Listing expressly permits it and the required consumer rights have been honored, or (d) to contact a consumer other than within the scope of the consent the Listing records.

12.10 Leads and Referrals. Where the Delivery is a lead, the Buyer's contact with the consumer must be within the scope of the consent recorded in the Listing's machine-readable contract, must comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and equivalent state law, and must honor any revocation immediately. The Buyer shall maintain its own do-not-contact suppression list and shall retain a record of each contact for not less than five (5) years.

13. General Provisions

13.1 Relationship to the Master Agreement. This EULA is incorporated into, and forms part of, the Master Agreement. In the event of conflict, Master Agreement Section 1.8 governs, and the license elections recorded in a Listing's hashed contract prevail as to the scope of the license for that Delivery.

13.2 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. Master Agreement Sections 19 and 20 apply, subject to the Public Sector Rider where it applies.

13.3 Limitation of Liability; Disclaimers. Master Agreement Sections 11 and 12 apply to this EULA.

13.4 Amendment. Section 10.4 and Master Agreement Section 21.1 govern.

13.5 Severability; Entire Agreement. Master Agreement Section 21.6 applies.

14. Acceptance

By registering a tenant account, by accepting this EULA through the console or by cryptographically signed acceptance, or by causing an Agent to transact on the Marketplace, the Organization accepts this EULA and the version of the per-transaction terms referenced by the applicable Listing's contract hash. Section 10.3 governs the mechanics of that acceptance.
