Pip licence agreement
The terms you accept by installing or using Pip. In short: Pip is yours to use, not to copy or take apart; every design and answer it gives you is yours to check; and the developer accepts no liability for what you do with them. The full text follows, in English and 中文.
This text is a draft under legal review. Items in [brackets] are to be confirmed. The version shown to you by the setup and installed with Pip (LICENSE.txt) is the one that applies. Plain-text copy.
PIP LICENCE AGREEMENT / PIP 许可协议
Version 1.0 draft, November 2026
ENGLISH
-------
This licence is an agreement between you (the person or organisation installing or
using Pip) and [the Pip owner: name and address] ("we", "us"). By installing, copying or
using Pip you accept it. If you do not accept it, do not install Pip.
1. What Pip is
Pip is a mine design assistant that works inside your mine design software. It consists
of the Pip add-in for that software, the Pip server, the Pip windows and pages, and, for
licensed users, the Pip Pro pack and skills ("the Software"). Your mine design software
is a separate product licensed by its maker; Pip is not made, endorsed or sponsored by
that maker, and product names are trademarks of their owners.
2. Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install
and use the Software on computers you control, for your own mine planning work. Pip Pro
is licensed per key: each key is for one named person and may be withdrawn at any time.
3. What you may not do
You may not, and may not let anyone else:
(a) copy, publish, sell, rent, lend, sub-license or otherwise distribute the Software or
any part of it, including the Pro pack, the skills and the action tables;
(b) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source
code, algorithms, prompts, designs or structure of the Software, by hand or with any
tool, including AI tools, except to the extent that applicable law expressly allows
this despite this clause;
(c) modify, translate, adapt or make derivative works of the Software;
(d) remove, bypass or defeat the Pro pack signature check, the key check, or any other
licence or security measure, or use a Pro pack or key that was not issued to you;
(e) use the Software to build a product that competes with it;
(f) remove or alter any copyright or licence notice.
4. Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors keep all rights, title and
intellectual property in it. Your mine data, designs and notes stay yours.
5. Your data and third-party services
Pip runs on your computer. To answer, it sends your questions, the data it reads from
your design software and your notes to Anthropic's Claude through your own Claude
account, under Anthropic's terms. If you set an Azure Speech key, what Pip reads aloud
is sent to Microsoft Azure under Microsoft's terms. Pip Pro and the skills are fetched
from GitHub with the key you create. We do not receive your data.
6. Updates and withdrawal
We may update the Software, change or end Pip Pro, or withdraw a key at any time. When a
key is withdrawn, Pip removes the Pro pack and skills from the computer at its next sync.
7. No warranty
The Software is provided "as is", without any warranty, express or implied, including
fitness for a particular purpose. Pip's designs, checks and answers are suggestions
produced with an AI model: you must check them against your own engineering judgement
and your site's standards before relying on them or sending anything underground.
8. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage, direct or
indirect, arising from the use of or inability to use the Software, including loss of
data, production or profit, or any decision made on the basis of Pip's output. Where
liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to [the amount you paid for the Software in
the preceding 12 months].
9. Termination
This licence ends automatically if you break it. On termination you must stop using
the Software and delete every copy. Clauses 3, 4, 7, 8 and 10 survive termination.
10. Law
This agreement is governed by the laws of [Queensland, Australia], and the courts there
have exclusive jurisdiction. If part of this agreement is unenforceable, the rest stays
in force.
