2. Absolute Reservation of Title and Intellectual Property Ownership

The Licensed Property is licensed, never sold. Pluto Studios retains sole, exclusive, and undivided right, title, and ownership in and to the Licensed Property worldwide, including, without limitation, all copyrights, database rights (including sui generis database rights under the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997), trade secrets, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, visual interfaces, algorithmic logic, command structures, API wrappers, and documentation, together with all modifications, enhancements, updates, patches, and derivative works thereof regardless of authorship.

5. Authorized Contributors and Assignment of Developments

In the event that you are granted explicit, revocable access to any private source repository or development environment operated by Pluto Studios as an authorized developer, staff member, or contributor, such access is governed strictly by this License Agreement and any applicable Staff Non-Disclosure Agreement. You hereby irrevocably assign, transfer, and convey to Pluto Studios all worldwide right, title, and interest—including all copyright, moral rights (which you hereby unconditionally waive to the fullest extent permitted under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988), and intellectual property rights—in and to any code, commits, pull requests, bug fixes, configurations, graphics, or documentation created, submitted, or contributed by you in connection with Pluto Studios. You agree to execute any further instruments reasonably requested by Pluto Studios to perfect such ownership.

6. Confidentiality and Trade Secret Protection

All non-public source code, repository structures, environment variables, API keys, webhooks, architectural diagrams, and internal documentation comprising the Licensed Property constitute valuable, confidential trade secrets of Pluto Studios. You covenant to maintain the absolute confidentiality of all such non-public materials and acknowledge that any unauthorized disclosure, publication, or leak thereof constitutes both a material breach of this License Agreement and an actionable misappropriation of trade secrets.

7. Term, Immediate Revocation, and Post-Termination Obligations

This License Agreement takes effect immediately upon your first access to or interaction with any portion of the Licensed Property and remains in force until terminated. Pluto Studios reserves the unilateral, unrestricted right to revoke and terminate this License Agreement and your access to the Licensed Property at any time, immediately and without prior notice, for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

Furthermore, this License Agreement shall terminate automatically and immediately without notice from Pluto Studios if you breach any covenant, restriction, or provision contained herein or within the Terms of Service Agreement. Upon termination for any reason, all rights granted to you under Section 3 shall immediately cease, and you must immediately destroy and permanently erase all copies, clones, caches, and extracts of the Licensed Property in your possession or control. Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 shall survive any termination of this License Agreement indefinitely.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE LICENSED PROPERTY IS PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PLUTO STUDIOS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.

9. Exclusion of Liability and Indemnification

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY GOVERNING LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PLUTO STUDIOS, ITS FOUNDERS, DEVELOPERS, ADMINISTRATORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LICENSED PROPERTY OR THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE COMPLETELY EXCLUDED BY STATUTE, PLUTO STUDIOS' AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED ZERO UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($0.00 USD) OR THE MINIMUM STATUTORY AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You agree to irrevocably indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pluto Studios and its personnel from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and legal expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your breach of this License Agreement or any unauthorized reproduction, modification, distribution, or exploitation of the Licensed Property.

10. Injunctive Relief and Equitable Remedies

You expressly acknowledge and agree that any unauthorized copying, distribution, disclosure, reverse engineering, or misappropriation of the Licensed Property will cause immediate, severe, and irreparable harm to Pluto Studios for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of this License Agreement, Pluto Studios shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief, specific performance, and other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual financial loss, in addition to all legal damages and recovery of enforcement costs.

11. Severability, Governing Law, and Jurisdiction

If any provision of this License Agreement is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under law, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This License Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced exclusively in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles, and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising hereunder.
