Licensing Policy

This document describes the licensing framework applied by OneSpaceHouse, sàrl-s (“OneSpaceHouse”) to its software, hardware, API services, artificial intelligence models, documentation, and deliverables. It supplements our Terms of Use, Sale & Legal Notice and any specific terms on individual quotes or contracts.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a signed contract, rights granted to the Client remain limited to those explicitly listed. For specific licensing requests, contact info@onespacehouse.com.

1. Software licences

OneSpaceHouse defines three software licence levels contractually:

1.1 Usage licence

A non-exclusive right to use delivered software for the purposes and duration defined in the contract. The Client may not copy, modify, decompile, distribute, or sublicense the software beyond what is expressly permitted. Source code, trade secrets, and internal documentation remain the property of OneSpaceHouse or its licensors.

1.2 Private licence

An enhanced usage licence for strictly internal Client use, without public distribution or provision to unauthorised third parties. May include additional restrictions (dedicated environment, user limits, prohibition of public benchmarking). Does not grant resale or core product modification rights.

1.3 All rights

Extended transfer or grant of intellectual property rights over specifically identified deliverables, subject to OneSpaceHouse’s, Laiss Labs®’s, third-party licensors’, and integrated open source components’ pre-existing rights. An “All rights” contract specifies transferred elements, reserved rights, applicable third-party licences, and any additional fees or royalties.

2. Hardware licences

Any hardware supplied or made available by OneSpaceHouse (including OSH AI Business box appliances, enclosures, and related equipment) is granted under a usage-only licence, unless expressly transferred in the contract.

• The Client acquires no ownership of the hardware, schematics, firmware, or internal components.
• Disassembly, modification, copying, cloning, extraction, or attempted reconstruction of the hardware or firmware is prohibited.
• Any attempt at reverse engineering, destructive analysis, or circumvention of hardware protection measures constitutes a serious breach that may result in immediate licence termination, return of hardware, and contractual penalties (damages, lump-sum indemnity, and recovery costs), without prejudice to legal remedies.
• Hardware must be used in accordance with documentation and stated environmental conditions.

3. API services

OneSpaceHouse API services (including Laiss OSH AI via API, CLI, or dedicated interfaces) are provided under a limited usage licence subject to the contract and applicable technical documentation.

• Cloud API: access hosted by OneSpaceHouse or its sub-processors, subject to quotas, authentication, logging, and security policies.
• International availability: services may be operated from or to countries other than Luxembourg. The Client acknowledges that data transfers and additional regulatory obligations may apply depending on territories involved.
• Overloading, scraping, reselling API access, or using access to train competing models without written authorisation is prohibited.
• OneSpaceHouse may suspend or limit access in case of abuse, non-payment, or breach of these terms.

4. Remote teams, NDAs, and creative deliverables

OneSpaceHouse may mobilise remote teams or partner talent (including through qualified networks) to perform part or all of an assignment. Such work is governed by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and licence clauses adapted to the type of deliverable.

4.1 Confidentiality

Parties agree to protect confidential information exchanged during the project. Remote contributors are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations, directly or through OneSpaceHouse.

4.2 Software, text, images, and artwork

Unless an “All rights” contract or express transfer applies, OneSpaceHouse and/or its contributors retain intellectual property in created works. The Client receives a usage licence defined in the quote.

When a deliverable includes elements created by a remote contributor (text, illustration, photography, branding, code, etc.), obtaining extended or exclusive rights may require additional fees negotiated with the rights holder. These fees are invoiced in addition to the initial quote unless contractually included.

5. Documentation

Documentation provided by OneSpaceHouse (guides, specifications, manuals, process templates, training content) is licensed for internal, non-transferable use unless otherwise stated.

Documentation passed through OneSpaceHouse from partners remains subject to those partners’ licences and restrictions. OneSpaceHouse does not warrant that third-party documentation may be redistributed or modified without the original licensor’s authorisation.

6. Laiss OSH AI models and Laiss Labs®

Laiss OSH AI models and associated software components are developed exclusively for OneSpaceHouse. They are not publicly available and may not be obtained, reproduced, or derived outside a signed contract with OneSpaceHouse.

• These models and software are created by Laiss Labs®, licensed exclusively to OneSpaceHouse for commercial and operational exploitation.
• Certain parts of the software grant OneSpaceHouse intellectual property rights (including patrimonial and moral rights within legal limits) to support Laiss Labs® development and the ongoing creation of Laiss OSH AI models and associated software.
• No implied licence is granted over model weights, training datasets, fine-tuning pipelines, or proprietary artefacts unless expressly stated in the contract.

7. Third-party and open source licences

OneSpaceHouse sometimes uses software subject to third-party licences from other businesses or open source projects. These components remain governed by their respective licences (MIT, Apache, GPL, commercial licences, etc.).

When a contract provides for “All rights” delivery or an extended transfer, the Client may request the list of applicable third-party licences for the relevant deliverable. OneSpaceHouse provides, on request, an inventory of included open source and commercial components, to the extent available and without breaching confidentiality obligations to third parties.

The Client is responsible for complying with third-party licences in any authorised use, modification, or redistribution of deliverables.

8. Standard licence agreement framework

For assignments requiring a formal licence agreement, OneSpaceHouse structures contracts according to the framework below. Elements actually included depend on product type, territory, and level of rights granted. This framework serves as a reference when drafting bespoke agreements; only clauses signed by the parties are binding.

8.1 Identification of parties

Each agreement clearly identifies the licensor and licensee: legal names, corporate forms, registration numbers where applicable, and names of representatives authorised to sign. Postal and email addresses for notices are specified. For OneSpaceHouse, the contractual reference address is: OneSpaceHouse, sàrl-s — Office no. I 7, 2C Rue Nicolas Bové, L-1253 Luxembourg.

8.2 Definition of licensed property

The agreement precisely describes covered assets: patents, trademarks, domain names, software, AI models, documentation, know-how, graphic works, or any other licensed intellectual property. For each category, granted rights are listed (reproduction, adaptation, translation, distribution, making available to the public, execution, etc.). Assets expressly excluded or reserved to the licensor are also stated to avoid ambiguity.

8.3 Licensed products and services

The contract lists covered products, versions, API modules, hardware, or deliverables, together with their functional scope. Exclusions — unlicensed features, uncovered environments, user or volume limits — are defined explicitly. When the licence covers an evolving service (cloud API, maintenance, updates), the agreement states whether future versions, security patches, or new features are included or billed separately.

8.4 Grant of licence

The nature of the grant is defined: exclusive or non-exclusive, territorial or worldwide, limited to a field of use or general. OneSpaceHouse, Laiss Labs®, and third-party licensors expressly retain all non-granted rights. Sub-licensing is generally prohibited without prior written consent; when authorised (for example for an integrator or approved reseller), its conditions and allocation of responsibilities are detailed.

8.5 Term

Initial contract duration, any tacit or express renewal, and non-renewal procedures are set out in writing. The agreement also addresses the effect of expiry or lapse of underlying intellectual property rights, and the consequences for granted licences when protection enters the public domain or ceases to be maintained by the owner.

8.6 Remuneration

Financial terms are detailed according to the chosen model: fixed fees, percentage of defined net sales, sub-licence revenue where applicable, or a combination. The agreement sets reporting periods, statement forms, any advances, minimum guarantees, and whether amounts are guaranteed or conditional. Sales to affiliated companies, payment on signature or delivery, and acceleration mechanisms for serious breach are described. Monetary obligations survive termination as contractually provided, with late interest at the agreed rate or, failing that, the Luxembourg legal rate.

8.7 Audit

Where variable royalties apply, the licensee accepts that OneSpaceHouse or a mandated auditor may verify, on reasonable notice and within contractual frequency limits, the accuracy of statements and reports submitted. The agreement provides for retention of relevant accounting and commercial records, costs borne by the licensee in case of proven under-reporting, and confidentiality obligations applicable to the auditor.

8.8 Representations and warranties

Each party represents that it has legal capacity and required authorisations to enter the agreement, and that no other commitment prevents it from doing so. OneSpaceHouse warrants, within the limits of information available to it, that it owns or is authorised to grant the covered rights and that, to its knowledge, lawful exploitation of licensed elements does not infringe third-party rights. Where applicable, the licensee undertakes to use reasonable efforts to commercialise or use licensed products, comply with agreed promotion standards, and meet any first delivery or market launch date.

8.9 Quality control and compliance

For products distributed under OneSpaceHouse branding or specifications, the agreement may impose quality standards, labelling rules, mandatory legal notices, regulatory approvals, and submission of samples at defined intervals. OneSpaceHouse reserves the right to verify compliance and terminate the agreement for serious or repeated failure to meet agreed standards, after notice where the nature of the breach allows.

8.10 Intellectual property

Beyond the usage grant, the agreement clarifies initial ownership of each asset and allocation of improvements, derivatives, or feedback produced by the licensee. It specifies who bears filing costs for protection (patents, trademarks, designs) and foreign extensions. Where applicable, the licensee acknowledges not to challenge the validity or ownership of granted rights (estoppel) and accepts that goodwill attached to the licensor’s brand inures to the licensor without transfer of title, unless otherwise stated.

8.11 Termination

Grounds for termination are distinguished: immediate termination for serious breach (IP violation, reverse engineering, persistent non-payment, infringement, reputational harm), partial termination limited to a product or territory, and termination for convenience on contractual notice. Notice formalities and effective dates are specified to avoid dispute over when post-contractual obligations begin.

8.12 Post-termination rights

On expiry or termination, parties define treatment of existing stock, any sell-off period for products already manufactured or ordered, and the deadline to cease all sales or exploitation. The licensee must return loaned hardware, relinquish API or cloud access, and destroy or return unauthorised copies of licensed elements, subject to legal retention obligations.

8.13 Infringement

If a claim or proceeding alleges infringement of intellectual property rights, the agreement sets duties of prompt notification, cooperation between parties, allocation of defence costs, and designation of lead counsel where needed. If an amicable or technical solution is required (modification, replacement, partial withdrawal), procedures for dividing or adapting affected products are provided.

8.14 Indemnification

Parties agree applicable indemnification regimes: product liability, harm to third parties, warranty breach, or intellectual property infringement. Scope of indemnities, exclusions (indirect damages, loss of profit), any caps, and procedures for defence and amicable or contentious settlement are described in accordance with applicable Luxembourg law.

8.15 Insurance

Depending on the licensed product or service, the agreement may require the licensee or licensor to maintain product liability insurance, professional coverage, or, for advertising campaigns, advertiser insurance. Minimum guaranteed amounts, beneficiaries, and evidence to be provided on request are then specified.

8.16 Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform resulting from an unforeseeable, irresistible event beyond its reasonable control (natural disaster, armed conflict, widespread infrastructure failure, government action, epidemic, etc.), provided it informs the other party as soon as practicable and resumes performance once the impediment has ended.

8.17 Jurisdiction and disputes

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, licence agreements are governed by Luxembourg law. In case of dispute, parties first seek an amicable solution. Failing that, exclusive jurisdiction is assigned to Luxembourg courts, subject to mandatory rules applicable to consumers or cross-border disputes requiring another forum.

8.18 Notices

Any contractual notice (formal demand, termination, claim, amendment) is sent to addresses designated in the agreement, by registered post or by email with read receipt where parties accept it. The agreement states when notice is deemed received and how contact details may be updated.

8.19 Non-disclosure and non-competition

Confidential information exchanged under the licensing relationship is protected by non-disclosure clauses whose duration and scope match data sensitivity (technical secrets, pricing, commercial strategy, datasets, models). Where a non-competition clause applies, it is limited in time, territory, and field of activity, in a manner proportionate under applicable law.

8.20 Successors, waiver, and independence

The agreement binds the parties and their authorised successors. No waiver of a right or obligation is valid unless expressly stated. Parties act as independent contractors; the agreement creates no joint venture, agency, or employment relationship. A severability clause preserves the remainder of the contract if any provision is held invalid. Assignability is generally limited without written consent. The signed contract and its exhibits constitute the entire agreement and supersede prior exchanges. It may be executed in counterparts; kick-off meetings may be scheduled for operational follow-up.

8.21 Exhibits

Technical annexes supplement the main agreement: product specifications, open source component lists, pricing grids, service levels (SLA), support procedures, rights matrices per deliverable, and royalty statement templates where applicable. If contradictions arise, the order of precedence between the main body and exhibits is expressly stated.
