RANGERIO SOFTWARE LICENCE AND TERMS OF USE

Version 1.0 Effective Date: September 1, 2026

These Software Licence and Terms of Use (the “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and D2V Analytics Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and carrying on business in Québec, doing business as RangerIO (“D2V”, “we”, “us” or “our”), concerning your access to, download, installation and use of the RangerIO Services.

D2V is the owner and operator of the RangerIO software, technology, services and associated intellectual property.

BY SELECTING “I AGREE”, “ACCEPT”, DOWNLOADING OR INSTALLING THE RANGERIO SOFTWARE, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE RANGERIO SERVICES, YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a corporation, government body, organization or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and “you” refers to both you individually and that entity.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not download, install, access or use the RangerIO Services.

The RangerIO Services are currently offered as a free public beta. Please read §§ 5, 12, 20 and 22 carefully — they describe important limitations on what the Software does and does not guarantee.

1. DEFINITIONS

In these Terms:

“Documentation” means the user guides, technical documentation, in-product help content and release notes that D2V makes generally available for the RangerIO Software.

“Licence Key” means a credential issued by D2V that activates the RangerIO Software or a particular edition of it.

“RangerIO Software” or the “Software” means the RangerIO desktop application and its associated backend and frontend components in object-code form, including all local models, detection rules, configurations, updates and Documentation supplied by D2V, in each edition made available (including the RangerIO (Lite) and RangerIO+ editions), but excluding Third-Party Components.

“RangerIO Services” means, collectively, the RangerIO Software, the RangerIO website, Licence Key issuance and activation services, Documentation, support and any related services made available by D2V.

“Third-Party AI Services” means artificial-intelligence providers, models, APIs, platforms and services operated by parties other than D2V with which the RangerIO Software may be configured to interact.

“Third-Party Components” means software, models, libraries, datasets, fonts or other materials owned by third parties and distributed with, embedded in, or downloaded on demand by the RangerIO Software, including open-source software and third-party artificial-intelligence models.

“Third-Party Notices” means the document titled RangerIO Software License and Third-Party Notices distributed with the RangerIO Software and available as described in §10.

“User Content” means documents, files, prompts, information and other content that you provide to, process through, or generate using the RangerIO Services.

References to “RangerIO” without further qualification are to the RangerIO Services generally, and any obligation or restriction expressed in relation to “RangerIO” applies to the RangerIO Software and the other elements of the RangerIO Services to which it can sensibly apply.

2. ABOUT RANGERIO

The RangerIO Software is designed to enable users to work with artificial-intelligence systems while providing privacy, security, local processing, sensitive-information detection, data transformation, tokenization, rehydration, auditing, reporting and related functionality.

Depending on the configuration you select, the RangerIO Software may interact with Third-Party AI Services.

Core detection and processing functionality operates locally on your device. Where you configure a Third-Party AI Service, the Software communicates with that service on your behalf. Activation of the Software requires communication with D2V's Licence Key services as described in §5.4 and §14.

Beta status. The RangerIO Services are presently offered as a public beta. The whole of the Software — not merely those parts identified in §20 as experimental — is pre-release software that may be incomplete, may contain errors, and may change materially or be discontinued.

Features, functionality, supported AI providers, models, editions and system requirements may change over time.

3. ELIGIBILITY AND AUTHORITY

You may use the RangerIO Services only if you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

If you use the RangerIO Services on behalf of an employer or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the RangerIO Services complies with all laws, regulations, contractual obligations, professional obligations, internal policies and data-handling requirements applicable to you and your organization.

4. LICENCE GRANT

Subject to these Terms, D2V grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable licence to download, install and use the RangerIO Software, in object-code form only, for your authorized personal or internal business purposes.

The scope of your licence — including the edition of the Software you may run and the number of devices or users permitted — is determined by the Licence Key issued to you and by any written arrangement between you and D2V.

The RangerIO Software is licensed, not sold.

No ownership rights in the RangerIO Services or their underlying technology are transferred to you.

Any rights not expressly granted under these Terms are reserved by D2V and its licensors.

5. BETA ACCESS, LICENCE KEYS AND FEES

5.1 Free public beta. The RangerIO Services are currently made available free of charge as a public beta. No fees are payable by you to D2V for access to or use of the RangerIO Services under these Terms.

5.2 Future paid plans. D2V may introduce paid editions, subscriptions or plans in the future. No charge will be applied to you without your prior express agreement. Before any fees become payable, D2V will present the applicable commercial terms — including price, billing period, renewal, taxes and cancellation and refund rights — and will require your affirmative acceptance of them. Those commercial terms will supplement these Terms, and in the event of conflict on a commercial matter, will prevail over this §5.

5.3 No entitlement. Because the RangerIO Services are provided free of charge during the beta, D2V does not commit to any particular level of availability, support, feature set or retention period, except as expressly stated in these Terms.

5.4 Licence Keys. Access to the RangerIO Software, and to a particular edition of it, is enabled by a Licence Key issued and validated through D2V's web services. Activation and validation therefore require an internet connection. You may not share, resell, publish or transfer a Licence Key, or use a Licence Key you were not issued.

5.5 Third-party charges. Charges imposed by Third-Party AI Services or by other third-party providers you choose to use with the RangerIO Software are your responsibility and are not included in, or affected by, the free beta.

6. OWNERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The RangerIO Services and their underlying technology constitute valuable intellectual property and proprietary technology of D2V and, where applicable, its licensors.

Subject to §10 (Third-Party and Open-Source Components), D2V retains all right, title and interest in and to the RangerIO Services, including without limitation:

all modifications, enhancements and derivative works relating to the foregoing.

Except for the limited licence expressly granted by these Terms, nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership or intellectual-property rights in the RangerIO Services.

7. RESTRICTIONS AND PROTECTION OF RANGERIO TECHNOLOGY

7.1 Restrictions. Except to the extent expressly permitted by these Terms, by the licence terms of a Third-Party Component under §10, or by applicable law notwithstanding contractual restriction, you may not, directly or indirectly:

(a) copy, reproduce, modify or create derivative works from the RangerIO Software;

(b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive or discover the source code, algorithms, architecture, models, detection rules, tokenization methods, prompts, workflows or proprietary techniques of the RangerIO Software;

(c) circumvent, disable or interfere with Licence Keys, licensing controls, security controls, access restrictions or technological protection measures;

(d) extract, copy or reproduce D2V's proprietary models, classifiers, configurations, detection rules, prompts, datasets or other components;

(e) access or analyze the RangerIO Services for the primary purpose of developing, training, improving or assisting a product or service that competes with the RangerIO Services;

(f) use non-public RangerIO technology, trade secrets or confidential information to reproduce or materially imitate D2V's proprietary architecture, privacy mechanisms, workflows or functionality, or to develop substantially similar proprietary functionality relating to sensitive-information detection, tokenization, rehydration, privacy-preserving AI interaction, local AI security, AI gateway functionality or associated audit and reporting mechanisms;

(g) sell, rent, sublicense, distribute, host, commercially exploit or make the RangerIO Software or any Licence Key available to another person except as expressly authorized by D2V;

(h) remove, alter or obscure copyright, trademark, proprietary or attribution notices, including the Third-Party Notices and any notices relating to Third-Party Components;

(i) publish benchmarks, security assessments or competitive evaluations of the RangerIO Services in a materially misleading manner, or in a manner that discloses D2V trade secrets, provided that this paragraph does not apply to good-faith security research conducted in accordance with §8; or

(j) assist another person in doing any of the foregoing.

7.2 Preserved activities. Nothing in §7.1 restricts, and D2V will not assert §7.1 against:

(a) lawful independent development undertaken without use of D2V's confidential information or trade secrets;

(b) acts of reverse engineering, decompilation or observation that applicable law expressly permits notwithstanding contractual restriction, including for the purposes of interoperability, error correction or security research;

(c) exercise of rights granted to you under the licence of a Third-Party Component, including any right to obtain, modify or redistribute the source code of that component; or

(d) truthful, non-misleading public statements about your own experience of the RangerIO Services.

7.3 Purpose. The RangerIO Services are provided for legitimate personal, professional and internal organizational use. §7.1(e) and §7.1(f) are directed at the misappropriation of D2V's protected information and are not intended to prevent you from working, competing or developing products by lawful means.

8. SECURITY RESEARCH SAFE HARBOUR

D2V welcomes good-faith security research on the RangerIO Services.

If you conduct security research in accordance with this section, D2V will not consider that research a breach of §7 or §17, will not pursue civil action against you in respect of it, and will not initiate or support a complaint under applicable computer-misuse legislation in respect of it.

Research is conducted in good faith under this section where you:

test only instances of the RangerIO Software that you have lawfully obtained and that operate on systems or accounts you own or are authorized to test;
do not access, exfiltrate, modify or destroy data belonging to any other person;
do not degrade, disrupt or deny service to D2V systems or other users;
do not use social engineering, physical intrusion or credential theft against D2V personnel or infrastructure;
report the issue promptly to info@rangerio.com with sufficient detail to reproduce it;
allow D2V a reasonable period of at least ninety (90) days to remediate before public disclosure, or such other period as we mutually agree; and
do not exploit the issue beyond the minimum necessary to demonstrate it.

This section does not authorize any activity that is unlawful, and does not waive the rights of any third party.

9. TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIAL TECHNOLOGY

Certain portions of the RangerIO Services may embody or reveal confidential information, proprietary methodologies, trade secrets and know-how belonging to D2V.

Your access to the RangerIO Services does not grant you permission to disclose, exploit, publish or commercially use any non-public D2V trade secret or confidential proprietary information except as necessary for your authorized use of the RangerIO Services, as permitted by §7.2, or as permitted by §8.

Any unauthorized acquisition, disclosure or use of D2V trade secrets or confidential technology may cause substantial and irreparable harm to D2V, for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy.

10. THIRD-PARTY AND OPEN-SOURCE COMPONENTS

10.1 Separate licensing. The RangerIO Software incorporates, is distributed with, and may download on demand, Third-Party Components, including open-source software and third-party artificial-intelligence models.

Third-Party Components are licensed to you under their own licence terms, not under these Terms. Where the licence terms of a Third-Party Component conflict with these Terms in respect of that component, the licence terms of that component prevail, including any rights they grant you to copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute that component, and any obligations they impose on you.

10.2 Where to find the notices. A complete list of Third-Party Components, together with their applicable licences, copyright notices and attributions, is set out in the Third-Party Notices, which is distributed with the RangerIO Software as RangerIO_Licensing.txt within the application resources.

10.3 Licence families. Third-Party Components distributed with the RangerIO Software are governed by permissive or file-level weak-copyleft licences, including the MIT, MIT-CMU, BSD 2-Clause, BSD 3-Clause, Apache License 2.0, ISC, Mozilla Public License 2.0, Python Software Foundation, Matplotlib, TCL and SIL Open Font License 1.1 licences. D2V does not bundle or link any component licensed under the GNU General Public Licence, the GNU Affero General Public Licence, or another strong-copyleft licence that would impose licensing obligations on the proprietary portions of the Software.

10.4 Source code for copyleft components. Where a Third-Party Component is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 or another licence requiring that source code be made available, you may obtain the corresponding source code, including D2V's modifications to files covered by that licence, by written request to info@rangerio.com, in accordance with and for the period required by the applicable licence.

10.5 Machine-learning models. The RangerIO Software includes or downloads machine-learning models that are subject to their own licences, as detailed in the Third-Party Notices. As at the Effective Date these are licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and, in the case of certain document-processing model assets, the Community Data License Agreement – Permissive 2.0. You are responsible for complying with the licence terms of any model you use, download or configure, and D2V's grant of a licence under §4 does not extend your rights beyond what the applicable model licence permits.

Models hosted by Third-Party AI Services are not distributed by D2V and are governed by §11.

10.6 Optional external utilities. Certain optional document-conversion utilities that you may separately install on your own system are licensed under the GNU General Public Licence and are invoked, if present, only as independent external processes. They are not distributed with, linked into, or licensed to you by D2V. You are responsible for obtaining those utilities and complying with their licences.

10.7 No D2V warranty. D2V makes no representation or warranty in respect of Third-Party Components beyond those, if any, required by their licences.

11. THIRD-PARTY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICES

The RangerIO Software may enable interaction with Third-Party AI Services.

These services are independent of D2V and are subject to their own terms of service, privacy policies, acceptable-use policies, fees and technical limitations.

D2V does not own or control Third-Party AI Services and is not responsible for their availability, operation, security, accuracy, performance, policies or conduct.

You are responsible for maintaining any accounts, subscriptions, credentials or API keys required by Third-Party AI Services and for complying with their applicable terms.

Cross-border transfer. Third-Party AI Services you choose to configure may be operated outside Québec and outside Canada, including in the United States. Where you route information to such a service, that information — including any information that the RangerIO Software does not detect or transform — leaves the jurisdiction and becomes subject to the laws of, and the policies of the provider in, that jurisdiction. If you are subject to privacy, professional-secrecy, residency or sectoral obligations, you are responsible for assessing that transfer before enabling the provider. Where the RangerIO Software is operated with local models only, and no Third-Party AI Service is configured, no such transfer occurs through the Software.

Third-party providers may modify, suspend or discontinue their services at any time. D2V does not guarantee continued compatibility with any particular Third-Party AI Service or model.

12. PRIVACY AND SENSITIVE-INFORMATION PROTECTION

The RangerIO Software includes technology intended to identify, process, transform, mask, tokenize or otherwise protect certain categories of sensitive information before information is transmitted to supported Third-Party AI Services.

Where supported and configured, protected information may remain on your device while substituted values or tokens are transmitted for processing and subsequently rehydrated locally.

These features are designed to reduce unnecessary disclosure of sensitive information.

However, no automated detection, classification, security or privacy system is infallible.

D2V does not warrant or guarantee that:

every item of personal, confidential, regulated or sensitive information will be detected;
information will always be correctly classified;
false positives or false negatives will never occur;
sensitive information can never be transmitted to a third-party service;
third-party providers will operate without security incidents; or
use of the RangerIO Services will automatically satisfy any particular legal, regulatory or contractual requirement.

You remain responsible for reviewing information and configuring the RangerIO Software appropriately for your intended use. Where the RangerIO Software presents detected items for your review before transmission, that review step is a control you are expected to exercise, and D2V is not responsible for information you approve for transmission.

These limitations are of particular importance during the public beta described in §2.

13. USER CONTENT AND DATA PROCESSING

13.1 Ownership. As between you and D2V, you retain ownership of User Content, subject to any rights belonging to third parties. D2V does not acquire ownership of User Content merely because that content is processed through the RangerIO Services.

13.2 Your representations. You represent that you have all rights and permissions necessary to process User Content using the RangerIO Services and any Third-Party AI Services you choose to use.

13.3 Local processing. User Content is processed locally on your device. D2V does not receive, store, transmit or have access to User Content, and User Content does not reach D2V infrastructure.

The only communications between the RangerIO Software and D2V infrastructure are:

(a) issuance, activation and validation of Licence Keys, as described in §5.4;

(b) checking for and retrieving Software updates, as described in §19; and

(c) any information you deliberately and manually transmit to D2V, such as a support request or a diagnostic report you choose to send under §13.5.

None of the foregoing is designed or intended to transmit User Content. Where you separately configure a Third-Party AI Service, information is transmitted to that provider — not to D2V — as described in §11.

13.4 Application logs and events. The RangerIO Software records application logs and operational events locally on your device for the purposes of diagnostics, troubleshooting and audit. These logs record application activity and do not collect User Content. They are not automatically transmitted to D2V.

13.5 Diagnostic reports. Diagnostic and crash reports are transmitted to D2V only when you choose to send them. The RangerIO Software does not transmit a diagnostic or crash report automatically or in the background. Because a diagnostic report may in some circumstances contain fragments of application state, you should review a report before sending it. Where you send a diagnostic report, D2V uses it solely to diagnose and correct faults in the Software.

13.6 Transmission to third parties. Your use of Third-Party AI Services will result in information being transmitted to those providers. The handling of that information by those providers is governed by their respective agreements and policies, and by §11.

14. LICENCE KEYS, API KEYS AND CREDENTIALS

You are responsible for safeguarding your Licence Key and for any use made of it.

Where the RangerIO Software allows you to provide credentials or API keys for third-party services, you are responsible for obtaining and maintaining those credentials and protecting them from unauthorized access.

You must not provide credentials that you are not authorized to use.

Charges imposed by Third-Party AI Services or other services are your responsibility unless expressly stated otherwise.

15. AI-GENERATED OUTPUT

Artificial-intelligence systems can produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading or fabricated information.

D2V does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, reliability or suitability of AI-generated output, whether produced by a local model supplied with the RangerIO Software or by a Third-Party AI Service.

AI-generated output should not automatically be treated as factual or relied upon without appropriate human review.

You are responsible for evaluating output before using it to make decisions or taking action based upon it.

The RangerIO Services are not a substitute for qualified professional judgment. You should obtain appropriate professional advice where decisions involve legal, medical, financial, accounting, engineering, regulatory, security or other matters requiring professional expertise.

16. COMPLIANCE AND REPORTING FEATURES

The RangerIO Services may provide audit logs, reports, sensitive-information analysis, data-flow information, compliance-oriented reports or similar functionality.

These features are intended to assist you with visibility, documentation and analysis.

They do not constitute legal advice, regulatory certification or a guarantee of compliance.

References within the RangerIO Services to laws, regulations, standards, frameworks or compliance requirements do not constitute a representation that use of the RangerIO Services automatically makes an organization compliant with those requirements.

Reports and audit artifacts generated by the RangerIO Services describe what the Software detected and how it was configured. They do not certify that all sensitive information present was detected, and they are subject to the limitations in §12. Responsibility for determining and maintaining compliance remains with you and your organization.

17. ACCEPTABLE USE

You may not use the RangerIO Services:

in violation of applicable law;
to infringe the intellectual-property, privacy or other rights of another person;
to gain unauthorized access to systems or information;
to distribute malware or malicious code;
to interfere with the operation or security of the RangerIO Services;
to circumvent Licence Key, usage or access restrictions;
to represent RangerIO output as independently verified, certified or reviewed where it has not been;
to conduct unlawful surveillance or unauthorized processing of personal information;
in violation of the acceptable-use or licence terms of any Third-Party Component or Third-Party AI Service; or
in any manner that could reasonably damage the RangerIO Services, D2V, its infrastructure or other users.

D2V may suspend or terminate access where it reasonably believes these Terms have been materially violated, in accordance with §25.

18. FEEDBACK

If you voluntarily provide D2V with suggestions, recommendations, ideas, bug reports or feedback concerning the RangerIO Services (“Feedback”), you grant D2V a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify and incorporate that Feedback into its products and services without compensation or obligation to you, and you waive, in favour of D2V and those authorized by it, any moral rights you may have in that Feedback.

D2V is under no obligation to use, implement or respond to Feedback.

This section does not transfer ownership of your User Content, documents, business information or confidential information to D2V, and does not apply to information you have identified in writing as your confidential information before providing it.

19. SOFTWARE UPDATES

D2V may provide updates, upgrades, patches, security fixes, improvements or modifications to the RangerIO Software, and the Software may check for and install them.

Because the RangerIO Services are in public beta, updates may be frequent, may be installed automatically, and may materially change or remove functionality.

Features may be added, modified or discontinued as the RangerIO Services evolve. D2V will endeavour to describe material changes in its release notes.

If D2V introduces paid plans under §5.2, the commercial terms accepted at that time will govern D2V's commitments in respect of paid functionality, and this section will apply subject to them.

20. BETA AND EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES

As stated in §2, the RangerIO Services as a whole are presently a public beta.

In addition, D2V may identify particular functionality within the Software as beta, preview, experimental or early access. Such functionality may be materially incomplete, may contain errors, and may change or be discontinued without notice.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the RangerIO Services and all such functionality are provided “as is”, and should not be relied upon for mission-critical operations, or as the sole safeguard for regulated, privileged or otherwise sensitive information.

21. SECURITY

D2V uses technical and organizational measures intended to protect its systems and software.

No software, computer system or network can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate security for your devices, operating systems, networks, Licence Keys, passwords, API keys and other credentials. Because User Content and application logs remain on your device (§13), the security of that device is central to the protection of that information.

You must promptly notify D2V at info@rangerio.com if you become aware of unauthorized use of your Licence Key or of a material security issue involving the RangerIO Services. §8 applies to good-faith security research.

22. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RANGERIO SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

D2V DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THEY CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.

D2V DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE RANGERIO SERVICES WILL:

BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED;
IDENTIFY ALL SENSITIVE INFORMATION;
PREVENT EVERY POSSIBLE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION;
PRODUCE ACCURATE AI OUTPUT;
OPERATE WITH EVERY THIRD-PARTY AI SERVICE;
SATISFY EVERY REGULATORY REQUIREMENT;
BE FREE OF SECURITY VULNERABILITIES; OR
MEET EVERY USER'S PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS.

Mandatory rights preserved. Nothing in these Terms excludes, limits or modifies any warranty, legal warranty, right, condition or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, limited or modified, including the legal warranties provided by the Consumer Protection Act (Québec) and the Civil Code of Québec. Where a warranty or condition cannot be excluded but liability for its breach may be limited, D2V's liability is limited as set out in §23.

23. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

23.1 Excluded damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, D2V AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL OR DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE RANGERIO SERVICES.

23.2 Aggregate cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF D2V ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE RANGERIO SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

(a) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO D2V DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR

(b) ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $100) IF YOU USED THE RANGERIO SERVICES WITHOUT PAYMENT.

These limitations apply regardless of the form of action and even if D2V was advised of the possibility of such damages.

23.3 Limits that do not apply — mandatory Québec law. Nothing in §22 or §23 excludes or limits, and D2V does not seek to exclude or limit, its liability for:

(a) bodily or moral injury caused to another, which may not be excluded or limited in any way under article 1474 of the Civil Code of Québec;

(b) intentional or gross fault, within the meaning of article 1474 of the Civil Code of Québec;

(d) any other liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited.

23.4 Consumers. If you are a consumer within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act (Québec) or comparable legislation applicable to you, §§22 and 23 apply only to the extent that legislation permits, and your statutory rights and remedies are unaffected.

23.5 Allocation of risk. You acknowledge that the RangerIO Services are presently provided to you free of charge as a public beta, that this allocation of risk reflects that fact, and that §12 (limits of automated detection) and §20 (beta status) are a material basis on which the RangerIO Services are offered.

24. INDEMNIFICATION

24.1 Indemnity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless D2V and its directors, officers, employees and affiliates from third-party claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

your unlawful use of the RangerIO Services;
your material breach of these Terms;
your infringement of third-party rights;
User Content you were not authorized to process; or
your intentional misuse of the RangerIO Services.

24.2 Exclusion. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from the negligence, wilful misconduct or breach of these Terms by D2V.

24.3 Procedure. As a condition of indemnification, D2V will: (a) promptly notify you in writing of the claim, provided that a delay in notice relieves you of your obligations only to the extent you are materially prejudiced by the delay; (b) permit you to assume sole control of the defence and settlement of the claim with counsel of your choosing, subject to D2V's right to participate at its own expense with counsel of its own choosing; and (c) provide reasonable cooperation at your expense. You may not settle a claim in a manner that admits liability on D2V's part, imposes a non-monetary obligation on D2V, or fails to unconditionally release D2V, without D2V's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

24.4 Relationship to §23. The cap in §23.2 limits D2V's liability and does not limit your obligations under this §24.

25. SUSPENSION, TERMINATION AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION

25.1 Your right to stop. You may stop using the RangerIO Services at any time by ceasing use and uninstalling the RangerIO Software.

25.2 D2V's rights. D2V may suspend or terminate your licence and deactivate your Licence Key if you materially violate these Terms, compromise the security or integrity of the RangerIO Services, or use the RangerIO Services unlawfully. D2V may also discontinue the public beta, in whole or in part, at any time.

25.3 Notice and cure. Except where a violation is unlawful, poses an immediate security risk, or where notice is prohibited by law, D2V will provide written notice describing the violation and a period of at least fourteen (14) days to remedy it before terminating.

25.4 Effect on your data. Upon termination, expiry or deactivation of your Licence Key:

(a) your right to use the RangerIO Software ends and the Licence Key ceases to be valid;

(b) User Content, application logs, audit logs, reports and tokenization mappings stored locally on your device remain on your device and remain accessible to you. D2V does not remotely delete, disable, encrypt or otherwise render inaccessible data stored locally on your device;

(c) because D2V does not hold User Content (§13.3), D2V has no User Content to return or delete. Records D2V holds relating to Licence Key issuance, support correspondence and any diagnostic reports you chose to send are retained and deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable law; and

(d) if D2V has introduced paid plans under §5.2 and you have prepaid fees, the commercial terms accepted at that time govern any refund.

25.5 Survival. Provisions concerning ownership, intellectual property, confidentiality, restrictions on misuse, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law and any other provisions that by their nature should survive will continue following termination.

26. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

D2V may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in its services, technology, business practices or legal obligations. The effective date and version number identify the applicable version.

Notice. D2V will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance written notice of any amendment that materially affects your rights or obligations. The notice will be drawn up clearly and legibly, will set out the new or amended clause and the clause as it read previously, and will state the date the amendment takes effect and the rights available to you under this section.

Your rights. If you do not accept a material amendment, you may reject it and terminate these Terms without cost, penalty or cancellation indemnity by notifying D2V before the amendment takes effect and ceasing use of the RangerIO Software.

Consumers. Where you are a consumer within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act (Québec), amendment of these Terms is subject to article 11.2 of that Act, and nothing in this section derogates from the rights it provides you.

Continued use alone will not constitute acceptance where applicable law requires another form of consent.

27. PRIVACY

Personal information collected by D2V in connection with the RangerIO Services is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Québec) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada).

As described in §13, the RangerIO Software processes User Content locally and D2V does not receive it. The personal information D2V does hold in connection with the RangerIO Services is limited to information relating to Licence Key issuance and activation, correspondence you send us, and diagnostic reports you choose to submit.

D2V's Person in Charge of the Protection of Personal Information is Vadim Shvarts, who may be contacted at info@rangerio.com or at the address in §32.

D2V's Privacy Policy, when published, will be available at https://www.rangerio.com/legal and will form part of the policies governing your use of the RangerIO Services. No policy published by D2V reduces any rights provided to you by applicable privacy legislation.

Information you route to Third-Party AI Services is subject to §11 and to those providers' own policies; D2V's own policies govern its handling of personal information, not theirs.

28. ENTERPRISE AND GOVERNMENT CUSTOMERS

Where you and D2V have entered into a signed written agreement, order form, master services agreement, data processing agreement or public-sector contract governing your use of the RangerIO Services, that agreement prevails over these Terms to the extent of any conflict, and these Terms apply only to matters not addressed by it.

Nothing in these Terms constitutes a waiver of any right, immunity or requirement applicable to a government body under public procurement or public-sector legislation.

29. EXPORT CONTROL AND SANCTIONS

The RangerIO Software and Third-Party Components may be subject to Canadian export-control and economic-sanctions legislation and, where applicable, to the export-control laws of other jurisdictions.

You represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or acting on behalf of a person in, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not a person with whom dealings are prohibited under applicable sanctions legislation.

You may not export, re-export or make the RangerIO Software or any Licence Key available in contravention of applicable export-control or sanctions laws.

30. FORCE MAJEURE

D2V is not liable for any delay or failure to perform arising from causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural events, war, civil unrest, labour disruption, epidemic, governmental action, failure of telecommunications or internet infrastructure, power failure, or the failure, suspension or discontinuation of a Third-Party AI Service or other third-party dependency.

This section does not extend to D2V's obligations under §23.3.

31. ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, any Licence Key, or any licence granted under them, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without D2V's prior written consent, except that an organization may assign these Terms in their entirety to a successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets on written notice to D2V, provided the successor is not a competitor of D2V and agrees in writing to be bound by these Terms.

D2V may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, on notice to you.

Any purported assignment in breach of this section is void.

These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

32. NOTICES AND CONTACT INFORMATION

32.1 Notices to D2V. Legal notices must be in writing and sent to:

D2V Analytics Inc. (doing business as RangerIO) 1580 Du Bordeaux Saint-Lazare, Québec, Canada Attention: Legal Email: info@rangerio.com

32.2 Notices to you. D2V may provide notices by email to the address you provided in connection with your Licence Key, by in-product notification, or by posting to the RangerIO website. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current.

32.3 All enquiries. Legal, security, privacy, licensing, open-source attribution, source-code requests and support enquiries may all be directed to info@rangerio.com.

33. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND ORDER OF PRECEDENCE

These Terms, together with the documents they expressly incorporate, constitute the entire agreement between you and D2V concerning the RangerIO Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, proposals and representations on that subject, including any end user licence terms previously distributed with the RangerIO Software.

Order of precedence. In the event of a conflict, the following order applies, from highest to lowest:

the licence terms of a Third-Party Component, in respect of that component (§10);
a signed written agreement between you and D2V (§28);
commercial terms you accept under §5.2, in respect of commercial matters;
these Terms;
the Third-Party Notices, which govern the licensing of Third-Party Components; any general terms in that document concerning D2V's own licence grant, warranties, liability, governing law or contact information are superseded by these Terms;
the Privacy Policy, if published;
the Documentation.

Marketing materials. Statements made on the RangerIO website, in marketing materials, in presentations, in analyst or press coverage, or by D2V personnel do not form part of these Terms and do not create any warranty, representation or commitment. These Terms — in particular §12 (limits of automated detection), §15 (AI output), §16 (compliance features) and §20 (beta status) — govern. This section does not exclude liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or any liability described in §23.3.

34. SEVERABILITY, WAIVER AND INTERPRETATION

34.1 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be read down or limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and if it cannot be so read down it will be severed. The remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. Where a limitation of liability is held unenforceable in whole or in part, the remaining limitations continue to apply.

34.2 Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising a right constitutes a waiver of that right. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by the waiving party, and applies only to the specific instance.

34.3 Interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation”. References to legislation include amendments to and replacements of that legislation. The parties are independent contractors; these Terms create no partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship.

34.4 Third-party beneficiaries. D2V's directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates and licensors are intended beneficiaries of §§22, 23 and 24 and may rely on them. Otherwise, these Terms confer no rights on any third party.

34.5 Equitable relief. A breach of §7 or §9 may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate, and D2V may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy, without prejudice to §23.

35. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms and your relationship with D2V are governed by the laws of the Province of Québec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to mandatory consumer or other statutory rights concerning jurisdiction, the parties attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts sitting in the judicial district of Montréal, Province of Québec, Canada.

Consumers. If you are a consumer, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of article 3149 of the Civil Code of Québec or of any other rule that permits you to bring proceedings before the courts of your domicile, or that prevents a waiver of the jurisdiction of Québec authorities.

Nothing in these Terms deprives a consumer or other person of protections or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived or restricted by contract.

36. LANGUAGE

36.3 Interpretation. Where you have validly elected the English version, the English version governs. Where you have not, the French version governs. Neither version is to be construed against its drafter by reason of authorship.
