SynVirt Guest Tools — End-User License Agreement

DRAFT — this agreement has not yet been reviewed by legal counsel. It is intended as a starting point. Do not ship a production build of SynVirt Guest Tools with this text until the final version has been approved and signed off.

Version: 0.1 draft Last revised: 2026-04-23 Licensor: SYNNET, with registered offices in Culiacán, Sinaloa, México. Licensee: the individual or legal entity that downloads, installs, or otherwise uses the Software.

By installing or using the Software, You agree to be bound by the terms below. If You do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. Definitions

Software — the machine-readable installers, binaries, drivers, documentation, and related materials distributed as “SynVirt Guest Tools” and any updates provided under this Agreement.
Host Platform — the SynVirt hypervisor or compatible virtualization platform that exposes the SynVirt Guest Tools control plane.
You / Your — the Licensee, including every employee, agent, or contractor that installs or uses the Software on Your behalf.

2. Grant of license

Subject to Your compliance with this Agreement, SYNNET grants You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and run the Software inside virtual machines managed by a Host Platform that You own or are otherwise authorised to manage.

The license covers use in production, staging, development, and test environments. It does not require a per-seat activation key in this draft.

3. Restrictions

You may not, and may not allow any third party to:

copy the Software except as strictly required to install and run it;
modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works based on the Software;
reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation;
remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks included in the Software;
sublicense, rent, lease, lend, sell, or otherwise transfer the Software to any third party;
use the Software in a manner that competes with SYNNET’s own commercial offerings;
bundle the Software with any other product without SYNNET’s prior written consent.

4. Intellectual property

SYNNET retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights. Except for the license explicitly granted in Section 2, this Agreement does not transfer any rights to You.

Third-party components distributed with the Software (for example, Red Hat virtio-win drivers) remain subject to their own licenses; the notices file accompanying the installer lists each component and its terms.

5. Warranty disclaimer

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SYNNET DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

6. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SYNNET BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF SYNNET HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

SYNNET’s total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement shall not exceed the fees paid by You to SYNNET for the Software in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or USD $100 if no fees have been paid.

7. Data collection

The Software does not collect telemetry or personal data from the guest OS. The only information the Software transmits to the Host Platform is the data the Host Platform explicitly requests through the documented virtio-serial control channel (see docs/GUEST_AGENT_PROTOCOL.md). You remain responsible for any additional monitoring, logging, or data collection You configure yourself.

8. Termination

This Agreement remains in force until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by uninstalling the Software and destroying all copies in Your possession. SYNNET may terminate it if You materially breach any term and the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice. Sections 4 through 9 survive termination.

9. Governing law and jurisdiction

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Sinaloa, México, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The competent courts of Culiacán, Sinaloa, México have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from this Agreement.

10. Entire agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior proposals, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written. Any modification must be in writing and signed by both parties.

If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect, and the unenforceable provision shall be replaced by an enforceable provision that most closely reflects the parties’ original intent.
