OBJECT OF LICENSE
1. These License Terms ("License Terms") consist of the terms and conditions governing the provision of Tiptap Pro Extensions, Tiptap Pro UI Components, Tiptap Pro Templates and other add-ons ("Pro Software"), by Tiptap GmbH ("Licensor") to its customers who are entrepreneurs within the meaning of section 14 German Civil Code (BGB) ("Customer") and the grant of use rights to the Pro Software, limited to the term of the respective Subscription. Extensions, UI components, templates and other software of the Licensor that are made available under an open-source license, in particular the MIT License, are not Pro Software, even if they are used together with the Pro Software; their use is governed exclusively by the respective open-source license. Consumers as defined in section 13 German Civil Code (BGB) are not offered the use of the Pro Software and the conclusion of these License Terms.
2. "Subscription" means a Subscription or an Add-on within the meaning of Section 2.4 of the ToS the paid subscription with a fixed term booked by the Customer that includes the use of the Pro Software, including where it forms part of a contract for other services of the Licensor, such as Tiptap Cloud. Tiptap Cloud is not Pro Software within the meaning of these License Terms.
3. These License Terms supplement the Licensor's Terms of Service ("ToS"), which govern the provision of Tiptap Cloud as software as a service ("SaaS") and/or as on-premises software. Only Sections 1.3, 2, 3, 5.4, 6.1 to 6.4 and 6.6, 7 to 9, 10.1 to 10.4, 10.6, 10.7 and 11 to 15 of the ToS apply accordingly to the Pro Software. Terms not defined in these License Terms have the meaning given to them in the ToS.
4. These License Terms, together with the ToS, are integral parts of the Contract between the Licensor and the Customer. Other terms and conditions, in particular those of the Customer, do not apply, even if the Licensor does not expressly object to their application or performs its services in knowledge of such terms. In the event of conflicts, these License Terms take precedence over the ToS with respect to the scope of the use rights to the Pro Software, the distribution of the Pro Software and the creation of Derivative Works; in all other respects, the ToS take precedence.
GRANT OF USE RIGHTS
1. Subject to payment of the agreed fees in accordance with Section 9 of the ToS or, during a Trial Period, in accordance with Section 3 of the ToS, the Licensor will grant the Customer the non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right, limited to the term of the respective Subscription or Trial Period, to use the Pro Software in accordance with these License Terms within the scope of its business operations. Upon expiry or termination of the Subscription, including where the Subscription ends with Paddle due to cancellation, refund, chargeback or non-payment (Sections 10.6 and 10.7 of the ToS), or upon expiry of a Trial Period that is not followed by a Subscription, the Customer shall cease using the Pro Software and delete all copies of the Pro Software in its possession, including those contained in its software products, without undue delay, and in any event within thirty (30) days. This does not apply to copies in backups that could only be deleted with disproportionate effort; such copies may no longer be used.
2. The Customer's right of use includes the installation of the Pro Software as well as loading, displaying and running the installed Pro Software and storing the Pro Software to the extent necessary for its intended use. The Customer may use and/or integrate the Pro Software in its own software products. The Customer may further develop its own software and components, in particular extensions, nodes, marks and plugins, that use the Pro Software exclusively via its documented interfaces, extension points and configuration options or via the interfaces exported by the Pro Software ("Derivative Works").
  1. Any editing, translation, adaptation or other modification of the Pro Software is prohibited, irrespective of the form in which the Pro Software is available, unless mandatory statutory provisions provide otherwise, in particular sections 69d (1) and 69e German Copyright Act (UrhG).
  2. Transformations carried out as part of the customary build process of the Customer’s software products, such as transpilation, bundling, minification and tree-shaking, do not constitute a modification within the meaning of Section 2.2.1. This does not apply to changes to the content or logic of the Pro Software, even if they are made as part of the build process. To the extent the Licensor provides Pro Software as code blocks to be inserted into and adapted within the Customer’s software products, in particular UI components and templates, the Customer may adapt such code blocks for use in its own software products; the prohibition of modification in this Section does not apply in this respect. Such code blocks, including any adaptations, remain Pro Software.
  3. If the Customer becomes aware of a defect in the Pro Software, it shall notify the Licensor and give the Licensor the opportunity to remedy the defect within a reasonable period before remedying it itself.
3. The following applies to the use and distribution of the Pro Software and Derivative Works:
  1. The Customer shall not use the Pro Software or Derivative Works to develop, offer or support software products or services that compete with or substitute the Pro Software by making functionality of the Pro Software available to third parties for integration into, or the development of, such third parties’ own software products without such third parties having to obtain their own license from the Licensor. This applies in particular to editor frameworks, software development kits (SDKs), extension libraries, components, and hosted editor or collaboration services and APIs that make functionality of the Pro Software available in this manner.
  2. The Customer shall not distribute or otherwise make available to third parties the Pro Software, any parts thereof or Derivative Works containing parts of the Pro Software, whether on a standalone basis or as part of another software product, unless otherwise provided in a separate agreement. This does not apply to making the Pro Software available to users of the Customer's own software products to the extent technically necessary to operate those products, in particular by delivering it in compiled, minified or bundled form to the users' browsers or devices. In doing so, the Customer shall not make the Pro Software available under terms that grant users further rights to the Pro Software or give the impression of such rights.
  3. The Customer may publish its own code, including Derivative Works, under a license of its choice, including an open-source license, provided that (a) the code does not contain any Pro Software, in particular no code blocks within the meaning of Section 2.2 or adaptations thereof, and references the Pro Software solely as a package dependency (e.g. as an npm dependency in a package.json file) or through a comparable mechanism by which each recipient must obtain the Pro Software directly from the Licensor under its own license, (b) the Customer clearly states that the Pro Software is not covered by the license of its own code and that integrating the Pro Software into a software product, in particular by installing it as a package dependency or by adding code blocks of the Pro Software requires a separate license from the Licensor, and (c) the chosen license does not supersede or negate the effect of these License Terms with respect to the Pro Software. Copyright and license notices contained in the Pro Software shall not be removed or altered.
4. The Licensor does not grant the Customer any further rights to the Pro Software.
5. Using the Pro Software in the name or for the account of a third party who is not the contractual partner is also considered unauthorized use of the Pro Software. It is irrelevant here whether the third party pays the Customer a fee for use or not.
FINAL PROVISIONS

Provisions which by their nature are intended to continue beyond the end of the Subscription shall remain unaffected by its termination. This applies in particular to the obligations set out in Section 2.1 following the end of the Subscription and to the requirements of Section 2.3.3 for code already published.
