Home / End User License Agreement
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") governs your use of the software products that Derek Coleman & Associates Inc ("we", "us", or "our") publishes through cloud provider marketplaces, including hardened virtual machine images, container applications, and Helm charts.
Effective date: July 30, 2026
"Software" means a software product published by us through a Marketplace, including the machine image or container artifact, its deployment templates, and accompanying documentation. "Marketplace" means a cloud provider's software marketplace through which you obtain the Software, including Google Cloud Marketplace, AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Marketplace, and Oracle Cloud Marketplace. "Cloud Provider" means the operator of the relevant Marketplace. "Your Environment" means the cloud project, subscription, account, or tenancy that you control and into which the Software is deployed.
By deploying, launching, or otherwise using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you are accepting on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. If you do not agree, do not deploy or use the Software.
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide licence, during the term, to deploy and run instances of the Software in Your Environment for your internal business purposes, and to make a reasonable number of copies solely for backup and disaster recovery.
Except to the extent an applicable open-source licence or mandatory law grants you broader rights, you will not: (a) resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or provide the Software to third parties as a standalone product or hosted service; (b) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notice, licence text, or attribution in the Software; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the proprietary portions of the Software; (d) use the Software to develop a competing product; or (e) redistribute the Software outside Your Environment.
The Software packages open-source and third-party components that are licensed to you under their own respective terms. Those terms govern your use of those components, and nothing in this Agreement limits your rights, or adds obligations, under any applicable open-source licence. Where this Agreement conflicts with an applicable open-source licence with respect to a component, that licence controls for that component. Component notices are published at dcassociatesgroup.com/licenses and included in the Software.
Third-party project names, trademarks, and logos are the property of their respective owners and are used solely to identify the open-source software packaged in the Software. Their use does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation. We are not the upstream publisher of those projects.
Software licence fees are set out on the Marketplace listing and are billed to you by the Cloud Provider, which acts as merchant of record. Usage-based fees accrue only while an instance of the Software is running, metered by the Cloud Provider. Cloud infrastructure consumed by the Software (compute, storage, network) is billed separately by the Cloud Provider under your agreement with it and is not included in our licence fees. Taxes are handled by the Cloud Provider in accordance with its terms.
Your acquisition of the Software through a Marketplace is also subject to that Cloud Provider's marketplace terms and your agreement with it. Where a Cloud Provider's marketplace terms mandate a term that conflicts with this Agreement in respect of that transaction, the Cloud Provider's mandated term controls to the extent of the conflict.
Support is provided by email at support@dcassociatesgroup.com on business days, as described at dcassociatesgroup.com/support. Support covers the Software as we ship it: deployment, configuration, and defect triage. It does not include support for your own applications, for modifications you make to the Software, or for the underlying open-source project's roadmap.
We maintain a continuous patch cadence and publish updated versions of the Software to the Marketplace as security fixes become available upstream. Published versions are immutable: an update is a new version, and you are responsible for deploying updated versions in Your Environment. Release history is published at dcassociatesgroup.com/release-notes. We do not modify, patch, or access running instances in Your Environment.
The Software runs entirely within Your Environment, under your control. You are responsible for: network exposure and firewall configuration; identity, access, and credential management; applying updates; backup and recovery; and the security, legality, and content of your data. The Software ships without shared or default credentials, and generates its own secrets on first boot where applicable; securing them thereafter is your responsibility.
We do not receive, access, or process data stored in or processed by instances of the Software running in Your Environment, and the Software contains no telemetry that reports your data to us. Usage metering for billing is performed by the Cloud Provider. Information you provide to us directly, such as a support request, is handled under our Privacy Policy.
Suspected security vulnerabilities in the Software may be reported under our coordinated disclosure policy at dcassociatesgroup.com/security/vulnerability-disclosure.
We build the Software against current security advisories and ship it without shared or default credentials. Except as expressly stated in a signed written agreement, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of all vulnerabilities. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business, arising out of or related to the Software, even if advised of the possibility. Our aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement will not exceed the total licence fees you paid us (or that the Cloud Provider remitted to us) for the Software in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Software in violation of this Agreement or applicable law, or arising out of your own data or applications.
This Agreement begins when you first deploy the Software and continues until the later of your ceasing to run all instances or the cancellation of your Marketplace subscription for the Software. We may terminate this Agreement if you materially breach it and do not cure the breach within thirty (30) days of notice. On termination you must stop using and delete all copies of the Software. Sections that by their nature should survive — including 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, and 19 — survive termination.
You will comply with all applicable export control and economic sanctions laws, and you represent that you are not located in, or acting on behalf of a party in, a jurisdiction or on a restricted-party list subject to such restrictions that would prohibit your receipt of the Software.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The state and federal courts located in Delaware will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law.
This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Software, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understanding on that subject, except that a signed written agreement between you and us (for example, an MSA attached to a private offer) controls where it conflicts. We may update this Agreement for new deployments by revising the effective date above and posting the updated text at this URL; the version in effect when you deployed continues to govern that deployment for its then-current term.
