(Legal) Terms

Terms of use.

These terms apply to your use of the mintnode.io website. Licenses for our technology and custom projects are always covered by a separate written agreement.

01About these terms

This website is operated by MintNode ("MintNode", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

02Information only, not an offer

The site describes our technology licensing and product studio services. Platform descriptions, license models, timelines and other content are general information. They are not a binding offer and may change at any time.

A license or project only starts when both parties sign a written agreement, such as a license agreement, order form or statement of work. That agreement, not this website, sets out the scope, price, license rights, service levels and responsibilities.

03Estimates, tickets and demos

• The configurator and project ticket give a rough, automatic first estimate. They are not a quote, price or delivery commitment.
• The AI agent demo plays pre-written example answers to show how such an assistant works. It is not advice and does not create any obligation.
• Visual examples such as dashboards, figures and messages shown on the site are illustrations, not real customer data.

04What it means to license technology from MintNode

MintNode develops software platforms, such as payments and membership, marketplace, AI agent and Web3 platforms, that are already built, tested and operating in production. A technology license is the legal permission MintNode gives a client to use one of these platforms for the client's own business, under the client's own brand, for a defined period of time and on defined conditions. A license is a right to use the technology. It is not a sale or transfer of ownership of the technology.

Every license is granted only through a written license agreement signed by both parties. That agreement defines, at a minimum:

• The licensed platform and modules: exactly which software, features and integrations are covered.
• The license model: Hosted, where MintNode operates and maintains the platform on its infrastructure; White-label, where a dedicated instance runs under the client's brand and domain; or Source code, where the client receives a copy of the source code to deploy and modify on its own infrastructure.
• The scope of use: who may use the platform, for which business, brand, websites, territories and number of users or transactions.
• The term: the start date, duration, renewal and how either party may end the license.
• Fees: any setup fee, recurring license fee and usage-based charges, and how and when they are paid.
• Updates, support and service levels: which updates, security fixes, support channels, response times and uptime commitments are included.
• Restrictions: unless the agreement expressly allows it, a licensee may not resell, sublicense, rent or lend the platform to third parties, offer it to others as a competing product, or remove MintNode's copyright and license notices.
• Data and confidentiality: how client and end-customer data is processed, protected and returned.

Information about licensing on this website, including descriptions of platforms, license models and typical setup times, is provided for general guidance only. In case of any difference between this website and a signed license agreement, the signed license agreement applies.

05Ownership of code, designs and data

Who owns the code depends on the type of engagement. The signed agreement for each engagement is final, but the general principles are the following:

• Licensed platforms (Hosted and White-label). MintNode, or its licensors, keeps all right, title and interest in the platform, including its source code, object code, architecture, database structure, documentation, updates, improvements and any modifications made to the platform, whether or not they were requested by the client. The client receives only the right to use the platform as set out in the license agreement. This is comparable to how businesses use well-known software services without owning their code.
• Source-code licenses. The client receives a copy of the source code and the right to deploy, operate and modify it for its own business within the scope of the license agreement. Ownership of the original code stays with MintNode. Unless the agreement says otherwise, modifications created by the client for its own use belong to the client, but the client may not distribute, resell or sublicense the original or modified code to third parties.
• Custom studio projects. When MintNode builds a website, application, AI agent or design specifically for a client, ownership of the custom deliverables, including code, designs and content created exclusively for that client, transfers to the client once the agreed fees are paid in full, unless the agreement states otherwise. MintNode keeps ownership of its pre-existing tools, libraries, components and know-how that may be used in the project, and grants the client a permanent, non-exclusive right to use them as part of the delivered work. Third-party and open-source components remain subject to their own licenses.
• Client brand, content and data. In every type of engagement, the client keeps full ownership of its brand names, logos, domain names, content, customer lists and business data. MintNode uses that material only to provide the agreed services. When a license or project ends, the client can obtain its data in accordance with the agreement.

06Website content and trademarks
