License Server
Sections 3.9. and 3.10. apply to Braiins OS version 23.04 and later versions only.
3.9. Braiins shall set up a license server (hereinafter referred to as the “License Server”) to verify, whether the Software on any respective cryptocurrency mining device is associated with a valid License. Braiins is entitled to verify the validity of the License at any time and is entitled to set up the License Server to conduct the verification automatically in predefined situations or periods as it deems necessary. Notwithstanding the above, Braiins is not obliged to conduct the verification more than once per twenty-four (24) consecutive hours. The verification is conducted for internal purposes of Braiins only and cannot be used as evidence against Braiins that the License was valid at any given time.
3.10. If the Software loses its connection to the License Server and Braiins was therefore not able to conduct the verification procedure under the Section 3.9. hereof the cryptocurrency mining device will only use 95 % of its processing power (so called hash rate) until the next verification procedure is successfully conducted. You acknowledge that this is not an error, misfunction, or penalty, but rather an intended function of the Software.
4.1. You acknowledge that You are solely entitled to use the Software on cryptocurrency mining device owned or operated by You (in Your facilities). Therefore, if the Software is used on any other devices You must be authorized to accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of any respective third party that owns or operates the cryptocurrency mining devices, so that the third party becomes a party to this Agreement.
4.2. Any use of the Software and any related rights other than as expressly set forth herein is strictly prohibited. Therefore, under the granted License You are not entitled to and shall not allow a third party to:

iii. modify or remove any titles, trademarks or trade names, copyright notices, legends, or other proprietary notices or markings on or in the Software.

However, support services may be provided under a separate agreement (visit Website for more information). Unless otherwise agreed the support services are governed by the Braiins OS Customer Support Agreement available for download in the “Braiins OS” section of the Website.
4.4. Braiins does not provide to You any source codes to the Software under this Agreement.
4.5. The Software may cause Your cryptocurrency mining device to connect to the internet, may require activation or registration, may require download of Updates. You undertake not to interfere with or circumvent any such embedded functions of the Software including any functions necessary to connect the device to the License Server (for Braiins OS version 23.04 and later versions) and to verify the validity of the License as well as any functions necessary to assign processing power as described in the section 5 hereof.
4.6. You specifically undertake for as long as You use the cryptocurrency mining device with Software installed (i) not to interrupt internet connection of the respective cryptocurrency mining devices, (ii) not to interfere with any input or output data, and (iii) to configure firewalls and other settings of the respective cryptocurrency mining devices and/or Your network as necessary or required for the License Server (for Braiins OS version 23.04 and later versions) to verify the validity of the License and to assign the processing power and to perform processing operations as described in the section 5 hereof (e.g. to whitelist in a firewall URLs of any Stratum V2 endpoints as requested by Braiins).
4.7. You acknowledge, that the Software may transmit certain information from Your cryptocurrency mining device (such as frequencies of chips, readings from temperature sensors, fan speed etc.) to Braiins. Braiins is entitled to use the information for provision of support to You, for performance of this Agreement, and for statistical analysis and improvements of the Software.
5.1. You undertake to pay Braiins license fees for the License granted herein. The license fees shall be paid (provided) in the non-monetary form specified below in this section 5 of this Agreement
5.2. As license fees You will provide to Braiins a portion of the processing power generated by any and all cryptocurrency mining devices on which the Software is used. The processing power is provided to Braiins when Your cryptocurrency mining device has used the agreed processing power to perform certain processing operations (for the purpose of cryptocurrency mining) that were designated and sent to You by Braiins. You must allow Your cryptocurrency mining device to perform such processing operations without interference (especially You must not interfere with input data and with results of such operations).
5.3. The portion (percentage) of processing power that shall be provided to Braiins as license fees hereunder shall be specified before or at the time when this Agreement is concluded.
5.4. Unless stated otherwise the applicable percentage is visibly indicated on the Website or in the Fee List issued by Braiins and published on the Website. In the event of any discrepancies the information in the Fee List shall prevail. Braiins may at its sole discretion change or amend the Fee List or other information about applicable percentage on the Website at any time. Such changes or amendments are effective thirty (30) days after the new Fee List or information have been published on the Website. If the percentage is visibly indicated neither on the Website, nor in the Fee List issued by Braiins, nor was the percentage otherwise agreed upon, the percentage shall be 2,5 %.
5.5. The respective portion of the processing power shall be provided to Braiins at all times when the cryptocurrency mining device and its processing power are being used regardless of the purpose for which they used.
5.6. You acknowledge that embedded features of the Software enable the Software to automatically assign the amount of processing power corresponding to the license fees to perform processing operations designated and sent to You by Braiins.
5.7. You acknowledge that due to the nature of processing power and processing power routing it is not technically possible to always assign the exact percentage of processing power. Therefore, You acknowledge that the amount of processing power actually assigned by the Software at the start of each session is random and it takes few seconds before a correct percentage of processing power is assigned. After that (for the same reasons) the amount of processing power assigned at any given time to perform processing operations for Braiins may be as much as 10 % higher or lower than the amount agreed above according to the section 5 hereof.
5.8. In the event that the amount of assigned processing power is higher than the agreed amount as described in the Article 5.7. hereof, the difference constitutes portion of license fees as well and is not refundable to You.
6.1. The License hereunder is granted and the Agreement is concluded for a period of one (1) month (hereinafter referred to as the “Term”).
6.2. If You continue using the Software in any way after the day, when the Term expired, You agree that a new version of this Agreement (including new license) is automatically concluded between You and Braiins on the first day on which You use the Software after the expiration of the Term.
6.3. The new version of this Agreement will be governed by the terms and conditions of then effective version of this document published on the Website and the license fees shall be set in accordance with then effective Fee List published on the Website, unless agreed otherwise between You and Braiins.

6.7. If You unlawfully use the Software after the expiration or termination of the License and this Agreement (and at the same time there is no new version of the Agreement concluded for any reason), Braiins will not have any obligation to refund or compensate You for any processing power automatically assigned at any given time to perform processing operations for Braiins in accordance with the section 5 hereof during such period.
7.1. The Software may be subject to the export laws of the Czech Republic as well as the laws of the country where it is delivered or used. You agree to abide by these laws.
7.2. You understand that certain functionalities of the Software, such as encryption, may be subject to import or export restrictions in the event that You transfer the Software from the country of delivery, and You are responsible for complying with applicable restrictions.

7.6. Under certain laws it may not be possible to disclaim liability and warranties completely. For such cases Braiins hereby disclaims its liability and warranties to the fullest extent permissible by the applicable law.
7.7. If the warranties and liabilities disclaimers above are found void or invalid or otherwise unenforceable, You agree that total liability of Braiins is limited to the monetary value of the total amount of processing power received by Braiins from You in the period of four (4) months immediately preceding the event or circumstance giving rise to such liability (the monetary value is calculated as of the moment when the processing power was provided to Braiins).
8.1. Any notifications addressed to Braiins hereunder shall be sent to the following email address: info@braiins.com and are considered as delivered when the delivery has been confirmed by Braiins.

9.2. This does not apply to information You can demonstrate was already in your possession before You have undertaken the confidentiality obligation, that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Yours, that is rightfully received by You from a third party who has no duty of confidentiality, or that is independently developed by You without a breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder.
9.3. You may disclose confidential information to your directors, officers, and employees, as well as to your contractors, advisors, and agents, so long as those individuals have a need to know in their work for You and are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those imposed on you in this Agreement. You are fully liable for any breach of this obligation by the above mentioned third parties.
10.1. The laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, shall govern this Agreement, the granted License and any dispute of any sort that might arise between You and Braiins in connection herewith (including any claims under any liability theory). The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
10.2.
