| PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THIS TIMESCALE LICENSE AGREEMENT ("TSL Agreement"), WHICH
 | ||
| CONSTITUTES A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT AND GOVERNS USE OF THE TIMESCALE
 | ||
| TIME-SERIES DATABASE SOFTWARE AND RELATED SOFTWARE THAT IS PROVIDED SUBJECT TO
 | ||
| THIS TSL AGREEMENT.  BY INSTALLING OR USING SUCH SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU
 | ||
| HAVE READ AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS TSL
 | ||
| AGREEMENT.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT
 | ||
| INSTALL OR USE SUCH SOFTWARE.  IF YOU ARE INSTALLING OR USING SUCH SOFTWARE ON
 | ||
| BEHALF OF A LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY
 | ||
| TO AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS TSL AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THAT
 | ||
| LEGAL ENTITY AND THE RIGHT TO BIND THAT LEGAL ENTITY TO THIS TSL AGREEMENT.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| This TSL Agreement is entered into by and between Timescale, Inc. ("Timescale")
 | ||
| and you or the legal entity on whose behalf you are accepting this TSL
 | ||
| Agreement ("You").
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 0. BACKGROUND
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    The Timescale time-series database software and related software is offered
 | ||
|    as "open code" or "source-available" code.  This means that all source code
 | ||
|    of the software is available for inspection and download at
 | ||
|    https://github.com/timescale.  The Timescale software is composed of two
 | ||
|    major pieces.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    The first, core piece (referred to herein as the Timescale Open Source
 | ||
|    Software, as defined below) is open source software that is licensed under
 | ||
|    the Apache Version 2.0 license.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    The second piece (referred to herein as the TSL Licensed Software, as
 | ||
|    defined below) is all of the Timescale Software other than the Timescale
 | ||
|    Open Source Software.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    Certain functions or features of the TSL Licensed Software (referred to
 | ||
|    herein as Community Features, as defined below) may be used under this TSL
 | ||
|    Agreement without charge, in some cases subject to certain usage limits that
 | ||
|    may be imposed by a software license key and/or technical restrictions in
 | ||
|    the code.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    Certain other functions or features of the TSL Licensed Software (referred
 | ||
|    to herein as Enterprise Features, as defined below) may be used either
 | ||
|    solely under a Commercial License Agreement subject to charge, or under this
 | ||
|    TSL Agreement without charge only for a limited time trial period.  In order
 | ||
|    to use such features, You must obtain an appropriate license key.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    You may find more information at https://www.timescale.com/pricing about
 | ||
|    which functions and features of the TSL Licensed Software are classified as
 | ||
|    Community Features and Enterprise Features, details about any applicable
 | ||
|    usage limits and trial periods, and a description of how You can obtain any
 | ||
|    required license keys and enter into a Commercial License Agreement with
 | ||
|    Timescale.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 1. GOVERNING LICENSES
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    1.1 Source Code.  The source code for all Timescale Software is made
 | ||
|    publicly available by Timescale at https://github.com/timescale.  However,
 | ||
|    different license agreements govern the use of different parts of the
 | ||
|    Timescale Software source code.  The use of Timescale Open Source Software,
 | ||
|    in both source and executable forms, is governed by the terms of the Apache
 | ||
|    License Version 2.0, a copy of which is available at
 | ||
|    https://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0.  The use of all other Timescale
 | ||
|    Software in source code form is governed by this TSL Agreement and/or a
 | ||
|    Commercial License Agreement, as applicable.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    1.2 Commercial License Rights.  If You desire to use Community Features
 | ||
|    beyond applicable Usage Limits, or to use Enterprise Features beyond an
 | ||
|    applicable trial period (or those Enterprise Features that are not available
 | ||
|    for use under this TSL Agreement at all), as the case may be, You must
 | ||
|    obtain an appropriate License Key and enter into a Commercial License
 | ||
|    Agreement with Timescale, subject to applicable charges.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    1.3 License Rights to Your Customers.  As set forth in Section 2.1 below,
 | ||
|    the use by Your customers of the Timescale Software as part of any Value
 | ||
|    Added Products or Services that You distribute will be subject to the most
 | ||
|    current version of this TSL Agreement, including any applicable Usage Limits
 | ||
|    and restrictions on the use of Enterprise Features.  If Your customers
 | ||
|    desire to use any functions or features of the Timescale Software beyond
 | ||
|    applicable Usage Limits, or to use Enterprise Features, they must enter into
 | ||
|    a Commercial License Agreement with Timescale and obtain any necessary
 | ||
|    License Keys.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 2. GRANT OF LICENSES

|       Timescale Data Definition Interfaces, in a Timescale Database utilized by
 | ||
|       such Value Added Products or Services.
 | ||

 | ||
|       binary executable versions thereof are utilized in a production capacity
 | ||
|       or outside a Non-Production Environment, (ii) such Derivative Works do
 | ||

 | ||
|    Agreement, You are prohibited from (i) using any TSL Licensed Software to
 | ||
|    provide time-sharing services or database-as-a-service services, or to

 | ||
|    Your Value Added Products or Services, or (ii) copying or distributing any

|    govern any new version of the TSL Licensed Software (and all its constituent
 | ||
|    source code and binaries) that is officially released as a complete version
 | ||
|    release by Timescale on or after such Posted Date. Except as set forth in
 | ||
|    this Section 8.2, this TSL Agreement may not be amended except by a writing
 | ||
|    executed by both parties.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    8.3 Governing Law.  This TSL Agreement shall be governed by and construed
 | ||
|    solely under the laws of the State of New York, without application of any
 | ||
|    choice of law rules or principles that would lead to the applicability of
 | ||
|    the law of any other jurisdiction.  None of the provisions of either the
 | ||
|    United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
 | ||
|    or the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall apply.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    8.4 Unenforceability.  If any provision of this TSL Agreement is held
 | ||
|    unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this TSL Agreement shall remain
 | ||
|    in effect and the unenforceable provision shall be replaced by an
 | ||
|    enforceable provision that best reflects the original intent of the parties.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    8.5 Injunctive Relief.  You acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach
 | ||
|    of any provision of this TSL Agreement will cause irreparable harm to
 | ||
|    Timescale for which damages at law will not provide adequate relief, and
 | ||
|    Timescale shall therefore be entitled to injunctive relief against such
 | ||
|    breach or threatened breach without being required to post a bond.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    8.6 Assignment.  You may not assign this TSL Agreement, including by
 | ||
|    operation of law in connection with a merger or acquisition or otherwise, in
 | ||
|    whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Timescale, which
 | ||
|    Timescale may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.  Any
 | ||
|    assignment in violation of the preceding sentence is void.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|    8.7 Independent Contractors.  The parties to this TSL Agreement are
 | ||
|    independent contractors and this TSL Agreement does not establish any
 | ||
|    relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency
 | ||
|    between the parties.
 | ||
