License Agreement

Effective Date: November 18, 2025

This License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you (as a person or entity, "You") and Abblix Limited Liability Partnership ("Copyright Holder") for the OIDC Server ("Software").

ATTENTION! Please thoroughly examine the terms and conditions in this License Agreement before operating the Software. By using the Software, you agree to be bound by the terms set forth in this License Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, you have no right to use the Software and must promptly uninstall it from your System.

1. Definitions

1.1. "Software" refers to the "OIDC Server" software, including any accompanying materials, updates, and extensions, the copyright of which belongs to Abblix Limited Liability Partnership. The Software is certified by the OpenID Foundation (openid.net/certification). The source code is publicly viewable at github.com/Abblix/Oidc.Server for evaluation purposes, subject to all restrictions in this Agreement. The full text of this Agreement is available at oidc.abblix.com/license. In the event the specified URL becomes unavailable, the full text of this Agreement may be obtained by contacting the Copyright Holder at the addresses specified in Section 16.

1.2. "System" refers to an operating system, virtual machine, or equipment, including a server, on which the Software is installed and/or used.

1.3. "User" or "You" refers to a natural or legal person who installs and/or uses the Software on their behalf or legally owns a copy of the Software. If the Software was downloaded or acquired on behalf of a legal entity, the term "User" or "You" refers to the legal entity for which the Software was downloaded or acquired, and is accepting this Agreement through an authorized representative.

1.4. "Partners" refers to organizations that distribute the Software based on agreement with the Copyright Holder.

1.5. "Software Extensions" are additional software components and software solutions provided by the Copyright Holder that extend the functionality of the Software and may require the purchase of a separate license or an extension of an existing license. Software Extensions can be provided both free of charge and paid. You can obtain more detailed information before receiving such extensions.

1.6. "Client" or "Client Application" refers to software programs that interact with the Software (OpenID Connect server) to authenticate users and obtain tokens for accessing protected resources. Each unique client application is identified by a distinct client identifier (client_id) registered with the Software.

1.7. "Issuer" refers to an authorization server instance as defined in the OAuth 2.0 specification (RFC 6749) and OpenID Connect Core specification.

1.8. System Definition for Licensing Purposes. For purposes of determining license compliance:

(a) A single physical server or virtual machine (VM) running one instance of the Software with one public hostname constitutes one System;

(b) Containerized deployments (Docker containers, Kubernetes pods, or similar technologies) running on a single physical or virtual host and serving one public hostname are considered part of that single System and do not constitute separate Systems;

(c) Multiple physical servers or VMs serving one public hostname for load-balancing, high availability, or failure-resistance purposes are considered one System;

(d) Multiple instances of the Software serving different hostnames or independent services constitute multiple Systems, regardless of whether they run on the same physical or virtual host or on separate hosts;

(e) Geo-distributed deployments spanning multiple regions or data centers are considered one System if:

(i) all servers serve the same primary public hostname(s) accessible to end users, and

(ii) regional hostnames (if any) exist solely for infrastructure routing, monitoring, or failover purposes.

If regional instances are designed to be independently accessible via distinct public hostnames for normal user operations (even if the primary scenario does not require users to use these additional hostnames), each regional deployment constitutes a separate System;

(f) Non-production environments (development, testing, staging, beta, QA, or similar) used solely for internal development, quality assurance, or pre-production testing are not counted as separate Systems, provided they are not accessible to external end users or used to provide production services. Each production environment constitutes a separate System.

2. License Grant

You are granted a non-exclusive license to use the Software within the scope of the functionality described on the Copyright Holder's official website, available at oidc.abblix.com/functionality, provided that you comply with all restrictions and conditions specified in this License Agreement.
