This licence applies to the Palmer model, including its weights, code, configuration files, tokenizer files, documentation, demos, and related materials, unless another licence is clearly provided.

1. Definitions

“Palmer” means the model and related materials covered by this licence.

“Individual User” means a natural person using Palmer on their own behalf, not on behalf of a company, organisation, employer, client company, institution, agency, startup, or legal entity.

“Company or Organisation” means any corporation, startup, partnership, agency, business, nonprofit, government body, school, institution, or other legal entity.

“Commercial Use” means use intended to generate revenue, reduce business costs, support a paid product or service, serve customers, support internal operations, or provide business value.

“Output” means text, images, data, code, or other material generated by Palmer.

2. Free Individual Use

Individual Users may use Palmer for personal, educational, research, creative, freelance, and commercial purposes.

Individual Users may earn unlimited revenue from their use of Palmer and from Outputs generated with Palmer, provided that the use is not performed on behalf of a Company or Organisation.

Examples of permitted Individual Use include:

- using Palmer for personal projects;
- using Palmer to create content, apps, tools, books, videos, or services under the individual’s own name;
- using Palmer for freelance work, as long as the client is informed that Palmer is being used and the model itself is not transferred, hosted, embedded, resold, or provided as a service to the client without a commercial licence.

3. Paid Company and Organisation Use

Companies and Organisations must obtain a paid commercial licence before using Palmer for any Commercial Use.

This includes, but is not limited to:

- using Palmer inside a product, app, API, SaaS, website, extension, plugin, or internal tool;
- using Palmer to serve customers or users;
- using Palmer to generate business content, automate business work, or reduce labour costs;
- fine-tuning, modifying, hosting, or deploying Palmer for company purposes;
- using Palmer by employees, contractors, founders, or agents on behalf of a Company or Organisation.

A Company or Organisation may not avoid this requirement by having an employee, contractor, founder, or individual account use Palmer on its behalf.

4. Attribution and Disclosure

Any public-facing product, service, application, website, API, or content workflow that uses Palmer must clearly disclose that Palmer is being used.

Acceptable disclosure examples include:

“Powered by Palmer.”
“Generated with Palmer.”
“This product uses the Palmer model.”

The disclosure must be reasonably visible to end users.

5. Outputs

Subject to applicable law and this licence, Outputs generated by Palmer may be used, modified, published, sold, or distributed by the user.

The user is responsible for reviewing Outputs and ensuring that their use complies with applicable laws, rights, and obligations.

This licence does not grant ownership of Palmer itself, its weights, architecture, code, name, trademarks, or related materials.

6. Redistribution

Individual Users may share unmodified copies of Palmer for non-company use, provided that this licence remains included.

Users may not sell, sublicense, rent, lease, host, provide API access to, or commercially redistribute Palmer without a separate commercial licence.

7. Modifications and Fine-Tuning

Individual Users may modify or fine-tune Palmer for their own permitted use.

Modified or fine-tuned versions remain subject to this licence.

Companies and Organisations must obtain a paid commercial licence before modifying, fine-tuning, hosting, deploying, or using Palmer or derivative versions for Commercial Use.

8. No Misrepresentation

Users may not:

- remove Palmer attribution requirements;
- falsely claim they created Palmer;
- rename Palmer in a way that hides its origin;
- represent Palmer as another model;
- use the Palmer name, logo, or brand in a way that suggests endorsement without permission.

9. Prohibited Uses

Users may not use Palmer for unlawful activity, malware, fraud, impersonation, harassment, or other harmful uses that violate applicable law.

10. Commercial Licence

Commercial licences are available from the Palmer owner.

A separate written commercial agreement may override this licence for the licensed Company or Organisation only.
