Design Rights & Licensing

SENT TACTICAL GEAR LLC
PROPRIETARY DESIGN EVALUATION LICENSE — v1
Date: October 9, 2026
Status: proposed terms for recipient acceptance; legal review recommended before external use.

1. LICENSOR AND SCOPE
SENT Tactical Gear LLC (Licensor) identifies itself as the rights holder for its original contributions to the assets listed in the accompanying asset register, to the extent those rights exist and are owned by Licensor. Covered assets include the identified CAD models, meshes, source code, drawings and related design documentation. Third-party material and public-domain elements are excluded from any claim of exclusive ownership. No patent, copyright registration, or trademark registration is represented by this document.

2. ACCEPTANCE
These terms are intended to form an agreement when affirmatively accepted by the recipient, such as by signature or an express written acceptance identifying this version and the covered files. Merely attaching this notice does not establish a recipient's agreement. A separately signed agreement controls where it conflicts with these terms.

3. LIMITED EVALUATION PERMISSION
Upon acceptance, Licensor grants the recipient a nonexclusive, nontransferable permission to view the covered files and make necessary internal copies solely to evaluate the design or prepare a quotation for Licensor. No other rights are granted. Access is limited to personnel who need it for that purpose and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these terms.

4. MANUFACTURING AND MODIFICATIONS
Manufacturing, physical prototyping, 3D printing, casting, machining, sale, distribution, commercial exploitation, and modification require separate written authorization from Licensor specifying the permitted designs, purpose, quantities and duration. Authorization to quote is not authorization to manufacture. No independent sales, overruns, seconds, samples for other customers, or production for third parties are permitted under this evaluation license.

5. DISCLOSURE AND SUBCONTRACTORS
Do not publish, upload to public repositories or model marketplaces, sell, sublicense, redistribute, or provide covered files to a subcontractor without Licensor's prior written permission. Do not submit confidential covered assets to third-party AI or other external processing services without that permission. Preserve notices and asset identifiers on authorized copies.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY
Protect nonpublic covered information using reasonable care, and at least the care used for comparable confidential information. Use it only for the permitted purpose. Confidentiality does not apply to information the recipient can document was lawfully known without restriction, became public without breach, was independently developed without use of the covered information, or was lawfully received without restriction. Legally required disclosure is permitted to the required extent, with advance notice where lawful and reasonable protective steps. These duties continue for five years after disclosure; qualifying trade secrets remain protected while they qualify under applicable law.

7. OWNERSHIP AND NEW WORK
No ownership transfer is made by this license. Rights are reserved only to the extent legally available. Ownership and assignment of supplier-created revisions, tooling, production files and other new work must be addressed in a separate written agreement before that work begins. This license does not itself transfer rights from an individual creator or third party to Licensor.

8. TERMINATION AND RETURN
Licensor may terminate evaluation permission by written notice. On termination or request, stop using the files and return or delete authorized copies within ten business days, except legally required archival copies, which remain subject to confidentiality and use restrictions. Notify Licensor promptly of any known unauthorized access or disclosure.

9. TECHNICAL STATUS
Files are supplied for evaluation as-is, without a warranty of manufacturability, fitness, noninfringement, strength, or safety, to the extent permitted by law. Geometry checks are not physical testing or production approval. Material grade, tolerances, finishing, inspection and acceptance criteria require separate agreement.

10. RIGHTS LIMITATIONS
No exclusivity is claimed in general ideas, standard symbols, dimensions, functional features, public-domain material or third-party marks merely because they appear in a file. AI-assisted content is protected only to the extent applicable law recognizes rights in it. These terms do not establish patent eligibility, copyrightability or ownership against nonparties, and do not restrict independently developed work that does not use protected or confidential material.
