Calstead License Agreement

Version 1.1 — Effective July 2, 2026 · renames the Personal tier to Pro (same scope and price); copies received under Version 1.0 remain governed by it

This License Agreement (the "Agreement") is between you (the "Licensee") and Fieldway, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company doing business as Calstead and the owner and operator of calstead.com (the "Licensor"), and governs your use of the Calstead software, including its source code, documentation, and any updates you receive (together, the "Software").

You accepted this Agreement at checkout; the version you accepted governs the copies you received under that order. Accessing the private source repository or using the Software also constitutes acceptance.

1. License grant

Subject to your payment of the applicable license fee and your compliance with this Agreement, the Licensor grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as permitted in Section 9), perpetual (subject to termination under Section 6) license to: (a) download, use, and modify the Software; (b) deploy the Software, including your modified versions, on any number of servers or hosting accounts you control and operate for your own use under this license; and (c) receive and use updates to the Software for as long as the Licensor makes them available.

Pro license. The rights above are granted to one individual. A Pro license (sold as "Personal" before July 2, 2026 — existing Personal licenses are Pro licenses) may be held by an individual directly or through a company they own; in either case it covers exactly one person – the purchaser, unless another individual is named at purchase. The deployed Software may be used to schedule meetings with that individual.

Team license. The rights above are granted to one company or organization. Up to twenty-five (25) people within that organization may operate the deployed Software or be scheduled through it; total organization headcount does not matter. Covered individuals must be employees or individual contractors engaged directly by the organization, and may be replaced as personnel change.

Upgrades. You may upgrade from a Pro to a Team license at any time by paying the then-current price difference. If your use exceeds your license tier, upgrading within thirty (30) days of notice cures the breach; exceeding your tier is not grounds for termination if so cured.

Calstead Free. The free edition of Calstead is licensed at no charge under the separate Calstead Free License Agreement, which is shipped as LICENSE.md in the free edition's repository and mirrors this Agreement's restrictions. This Agreement governs paid licenses only.

Reservation of rights. All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by the Licensor. No rights are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

2. Restrictions

You may not: (a) publish, distribute, sublicense, sell, lease, or otherwise make the Software's source code (or any substantial portion of it, modified or not) available to any third party, including by making a public fork, repository, package, or paste; (b) share access to the private source repository, or your copy of it, with anyone outside the scope of your license; (c) offer the Software's functionality to third parties as a hosted, managed, or white-labeled service – that is, operate a deployment whose booking pages schedule meetings with people who are not covered by your license; (d) incorporate the Software's source code into, or use it as a reference implementation for, a software product or hosted service that competes with Calstead (building unrelated software, or scheduling features that do not derive from the Software's code, is not restricted); (e) remove or alter any license, copyright, or attribution notice included in the Software; or (f) deploy, configure, or operate the Software on behalf of any third party, except as permitted in the next paragraph.

For clarity: people who book meetings through your deployment are not licensees and do not need licenses; clause 2(c) restricts who may operate and be scheduled through a deployment, not who may book. If you deploy or manage the Software on a client's behalf, the client must hold its own license covering the people scheduled through that deployment; you may operate that deployment under the client's license without holding one yourself.

3. Ownership; feedback

The Software is licensed, not sold. The Licensor retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. Your modifications are yours, but they remain subject to this Agreement wherever they incorporate the Software.

If you choose to send the Licensor suggestions, feedback, or improvement ideas about the Software ("Feedback"), you grant the Licensor a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use and incorporate that Feedback into any Licensor product or service, without compensation or attribution. This does not grant the Licensor any rights in your separate modifications or deployments except to the extent you voluntarily contribute them as Feedback.

Testimonials. If you send the Licensor comments about the Software through any channel – including email, the Discord server, support requests, or public reviews and social media posts – the Licensor may quote or excerpt those comments to promote Calstead, including on calstead.com and in social media and other marketing. The Licensor will attribute quotes using only your first name and, where applicable, your city, role, or Discord or social handle – never your email address or other contact details – and will not edit a quote in a way that changes its meaning. You may withdraw permission for future use, or ask the Licensor to stop using a specific quote, at any time by emailing hello@calstead.com; the Licensor will remove it from materials it controls within thirty (30) days. This permission covers only comments you choose to send and grants no rights in your private data or deployments.

Open-source components. The Software includes third-party open-source components, which are listed with their licenses in the THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file distributed with the Software. Those components are licensed to you under their own terms, which control over this Agreement to the extent of any conflict.

4. Updates, support, and repository access

Updates are delivered through the private source repository. The Licensor will make reasonable efforts to maintain the Software but does not promise any particular update cadence or feature.

Support. Support is provided by email at hello@calstead.com for the unmodified Software only, and excludes custom development, installation services, and modified code. Team licensees receive priority support: their requests are answered ahead of other requests, with a target first response within two (2) business days, for as long as the Licensor offers support for the Software.

Repository access. Access is granted to one GitHub account for Pro licenses and up to five (5) GitHub accounts designated by the organization for Team licenses. You may change your designated accounts by emailing hello@calstead.com.

Pre-release code. The repository may include pre-release branches, tags, or experimental code. Pre-release code is provided as-is, may be changed or removed without notice, and is excluded from support.

End of life. The Licensor may discontinue updates and support for the Software with ninety (90) days' notice. If the Licensor discontinues the repository, the then-current source will remain available to active licensees for download for at least ninety (90) days. Discontinuation does not terminate your Section 1 license.

5. Refunds

If the Software does not work out for you, contact hello@calstead.com within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. A refund terminates your license under Section 1 effective upon issuance: you must cease deploying the Software and delete your copies of the source code, and the Licensor may revoke repository access. Sections 2, 3, 7, and 8 survive a refund.

Except for the 14-day refund described above, all license fees are non-refundable. Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude any applicable sales or use tax, which will be added at checkout where required.

6. Termination

This Agreement terminates immediately, without notice or cure period, upon any breach of Section 2(a) or 2(b). For any other material breach, it terminates if you fail to cure within 14 days of notice (for tier overuse, Section 1's upgrade cure applies). Upon termination, your rights under Section 1 end and you must cease deploying the Software and delete your copies of the source code. Sections 2, 3, 6 (this sentence), 7, 8, and 9 survive termination.

Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute on your license fee, your license under Section 1 terminates automatically when the dispute is filed, and the Licensor may immediately revoke repository access. If the dispute is later withdrawn or resolved in the Licensor's favor, the Licensor will reinstate your license on request.

7. Disclaimer of warranty; third-party services; your deployments

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEPLOYMENTS YOU OPERATE, INCLUDING THEIR SECURITY, DATA, AND COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers; in those jurisdictions the above applies to the maximum extent permitted.

Third-party services. The Software connects to third-party services using credentials and accounts that you provide and control – including Google (Meet and Calendar), Microsoft Outlook calendar, calendar ICS feeds, Cloudflare Turnstile, and your own email provider (such as Resend or Mailgun). The Licensor is not a party to your agreements with those providers and does not control them. You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining those accounts, for complying with each provider's terms and policies, and for all fees, usage, rate limits, and data practices associated with them. The Licensor disclaims all liability for any third-party service's availability, performance, changes, suspension, or data handling, and your right to use the Software is conditioned on your compliance with all applicable third-party terms.

Your deployments; data. As between you and the Licensor, you are the controller of all personal data processed through the deployments you operate, including data of the people who book through your booking pages. You are solely responsible for providing any required privacy notices, obtaining any required consents, and complying with all privacy, data-protection, and anti-spam laws applicable to your deployments. The Licensor does not receive or process that data.

8. Limitation of liability; indemnity

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE. THE LICENSOR'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID THE LICENSOR FOR YOUR LICENSE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED OR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. The foregoing limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability arising from the Licensor's willful misconduct or reckless indifference.

You will defend and indemnify the Licensor against third-party claims arising from your deployments, your modifications, or your use of the Software.

9. General

Governing law and venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising from this Agreement will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Greene County, Missouri, except that (a) either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court, and (b) either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for breach of Section 2. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Class-action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party may bring claims against the other only in its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. No court may consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of class proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim shall be severed and proceed in court while all other claims remain subject to this waiver.

Changes to this Agreement. The Licensor may modify this Agreement for future updates or versions of the Software by posting the revised Agreement in the repository and at calstead.com with at least 30 days' notice. The revised Agreement applies to updates you receive after its effective date; the terms in effect when you received a copy continue to govern that copy. If you do not accept revised terms, your sole remedy is to stop pulling updates – your existing license is unaffected.

Export. You represent that you are not located in, or ordinarily resident in, any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions and are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list, and you agree to comply with applicable export laws.

Publicity. The Licensor may identify Team licensees by name and logo in customer lists and marketing materials. You may opt out at any time by emailing hello@calstead.com, and the Licensor will remove the reference within thirty (30) days.

Miscellaneous. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties concerning the Software. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without the Licensor's written consent, except to a successor of substantially all of your assets who agrees to be bound by it.
