SuiteCrate™ Legal, Intellectual Property & Compliance Hub

1. Trademark Rights (SuiteCrate™), Berne Convention Copyright (©) & DMCA Notice

1.1. Common-Law & International Trademark Notice: The brand name SuiteCrate™, the domain suitecrate.com, the SC squircle monogram, and product designations (including SuiteCrate Local Vault™ and SuiteCrate LAN Crate™) are proprietary trademarks of SuiteCrate Software, asserted under United States (15 U.S.C. § 1125) and Canadian (Trademarks Act) First-to-Use Common-Law doctrines and international Nice Classification Classes 009 and 042. Unauthorized commercial use, brand impersonation, or confusingly similar domain registration is strictly prohibited.

1.2. Berne Convention Software & Ledger Copyright (© 2026): All 52+ client-side JavaScript/WebAssembly web tools (and their 240+ niche industry configurations), 45 Master Excel Ledgers (.xlsx formulas, layouts, and schemas), and 30 Perpetual Office LAN & SQLite Software Suites (SYS-01 through SYS-30) are original copyrighted works protected automatically across 181 signatory nations under the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.), the Canadian Copyright Act, and the EU Software Directive (2009/24/EC).

1.3. DMCA Safe Harbor Policy (17 U.S.C. § 512): Because SuiteCrate™ browser tools process user documents locally inside the client browser without permanent cloud hosting of third-party content, user files never reside on public servers. Any formal intellectual property or DMCA inquiries may be directed to our Designated Legal Contact at [email protected].

2. Perpetual Office LAN, SQLite & Custom Software End-User License Agreement (EULA)

This End-User License Agreement (“EULA”) governs all purchases, downloads, trials, and deployments of SuiteCrate™ Master Excel Ledgers (EX-01..EX-45) and Perpetual Office LAN / SQLite / Self-Hosted PHP-MySQL Business Software Systems (SYS-01..SYS-30):

• Perpetual One-Time Commercial License Grant: Upon full one-time payment, SuiteCrate™ grants the purchasing business entity (“Licensee”) a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to install and operate the software across its internal Office Local Area Network (LAN), local workstation SQLite database, or private company server with zero recurring monthly per-seat fees.
• Interactive Trial & Demo Verification: Prospective buyers are provided access to interactive browser previews, 5-minute video architecture walkthroughs, or sandboxed trial builds prior to final license settlement.
• Strict Prohibition on Redistribution & Resale: Licensee may modify internal templates or database schemas for its own internal business operations, but may not resell, sublicense, redistribute, publish on public repositories, or package any SuiteCrate™ software binary, source code, or Excel ledger as a competing commercial product or SaaS offering.
• Data Sovereignty & Local Backup Responsibility: Because Office LAN and SQLite systems operate 100% on Licensee’s own hardware without mandatory cloud synchronization, Licensee retains 100% ownership and custody of its database files (.sqlite / .db / .xlsx) and is solely responsible for maintaining routine local or off-site backups.

3. Terms of Service, UCC § 2-316 Warranty Disclaimer & No-CPA / Legal Advice Notice

3.1. No Certified Public Accounting (CPA), Tax, Payroll, or Legal Advice: SuiteCrate™ is a software engineering publisher, not a law firm, certified public accounting firm, or licensed tax advisor. All outputs generated by our calculators, OCR extractors, financial ratio analyzers, 13-week cash flow models, tax estimators (including US IRS Schedule C / 1099-NEC, Canadian CRA GST/HST/PST, and European Union / UK VAT), and document generators (Lien Waivers, NDAs, Invoices, Bills of Lading) are provided strictly for operational convenience. Users must verify final filings with a qualified CPA, chartered accountant, or attorney in their jurisdiction.

3.2. UCC § 2-316 “AS-IS” Commercial Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AND THE EUROPEAN UNION, ALL FREE WEB TOOLS, VIP PASSES, EXCEL LEDGERS, AND PERPETUAL LAN SOFTWARE SYSTEMS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL SUITECRATE™’S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE CUSTOMER FOR THE SPECIFIC SOFTWARE OR PASS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (OR $10.00 USD FOR FREE-TIER USERS).

4. Zero-Cloud Privacy Policy (EU/UK GDPR, US CCPA/CPRA & Canada PIPEDA)

SuiteCrate™ is architected from the ground up around Privacy-by-Design and Privacy-by-Default (EU GDPR Article 25):

• 100% Local Browser Vault (Zero Server PII Storage): When you use our 52+ browser tools to process bank statements, employee rosters, payroll sheets, financial ratios, or customer CRM lists, your operational data is stored exclusively inside your own device’s browser storage (localStorage and IndexedDB). We do not harvest, sell, or store your confidential business spreadsheets on central cloud databases.
• Instant Right to Erasure (GDPR Art. 17 & CCPA Right to Delete): Because your workspace lives in your browser, clicking the “Clear All” button inside the Local Vault Drawer immediately and permanently purges your local history without waiting for a manual data-deletion ticket.
• Privacy-Safe Quota Telemetry: To enforce daily free-tier limits without requiring user accounts or invasive tracking cookies, our server computes a non-reversible, salted cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of request headers. No raw IP addresses or personal identifiers are sold or shared with third-party ad networks.
• Payment Processing & Merchant of Record Security: All credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and SEPA transactions are processed directly by PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment providers (Stripe / Merchant of Record partners). SuiteCrate™ never touches or stores raw payment card numbers.
