Shorts Factory Engine Source-Available Commercial License

Version: 1.0, effective 2026-09-22

This Agreement is between Shorts Factory Engine, the commercial name used by Álvaro Jesús León Estrella (the "Licensor"), and the individual or entity identified in the applicable Whop purchase record (the "Licensee"). The Licensor's legal jurisdiction is Lima, Peru. Notices to the Licensor may be sent to leonsautomatiza@gmail.com. The Whop purchase record and product description identify the purchased license tier and permitted deployment count (the "Order").

1. Licensed Software

"Software" means the Shorts Factory Engine first-party source code, documentation and first-party workflow files delivered with the Order. Software excludes third-party programs, cloud services, models, fonts, media, APIs and infrastructure identified as separately licensed or buyer-supplied.

The Software is source-available commercial software, not open-source software. Access to source code does not grant redistribution rights except as expressly stated here.

2. License grant

Subject to payment and ongoing compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants Licensee a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to:

1. install and operate the Software in the number of production deployments permitted by the purchased tier;
2. inspect and modify the Software for Licensee's internal use;
3. use output produced by the Software for Licensee's own business and, only where the Order expressly permits agency use, for Licensee's clients; and
4. make reasonable internal backup copies protected to the same standard as the original.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Licensor.

2.1 License tiers and prices

Developer License — USD $149, one-time. The grant covers one operator and one production deployment. The operator may use the Software for internal pipelines and the Licensee's own brands, channels and projects. It does not authorize production services for third-party clients. Resale, sublicensing or distribution of the Software source code or Source Kit components is prohibited.

Agency License — USD $399, one-time. The grant covers the Licensee and its authorized team members on up to three production deployments. It permits unlimited generation, distribution, delivery and monetization of finished video outputs for the Licensee's clients and other third parties. It does not permit redistribution, sale, sublicensing or publication of the engine source code, scripts or Source Kit as an independent software product. Team members may access the source only to operate the licensed deployment and must be bound by confidentiality obligations.

The one-time price is the stated license price, not a promise that taxes, payment processing, infrastructure or third-party service charges are included. The Order controls the amount actually charged and any disclosed taxes or fees.

For this Agreement, a production deployment is one operational installation of the hybrid system, including its Docker coordinator and associated Windows media worker. These components may run on separate physical or virtual hosts without counting as separate deployments. Replacing a host for maintenance is permitted if the replaced installation is deactivated.

3. Restrictions

Licensee must not, directly or indirectly:

• sell, resell, sublicense, publish, share, distribute or make the Software or a substantial portion of its source code available to a third party;
• offer the Software itself as a downloadable product, template, codebase, marketplace asset or competing source-available product;
• remove copyright, license, provenance or third-party notices;
• exceed the operator, team or deployment rights stated in the purchased tier;
• provide source access to a client, contractor or affiliate except to personnel who need access to operate the licensed deployment and are bound by confidentiality obligations;
• use Licensor's name or marks to imply sponsorship, certification or endorsement;
• use the Software unlawfully, to violate provider terms, or to process content for which Licensee lacks necessary rights or consent; or
• circumvent technical license controls, usage limits or safety controls.

Licensee remains responsible for modifications and for ensuring that contractors return or destroy source copies when access is no longer required.

4. Buyer-supplied services and costs

Licensee must obtain, configure and pay for its own computing capacity, Windows worker, network, S3-compatible storage, n8n instance, PostgreSQL/queue infrastructure, Google Cloud services, Telegram account and any other provider used by the deployment.

Licensor does not control provider pricing, quotas, regional availability, safety filters, API changes, billing, suspensions or generated results. All provider charges, taxes, egress, storage and compute costs are Licensee's responsibility. A failed, filtered, retried or incomplete provider operation may still incur provider charges under that provider's terms.

Third-party providers may change, restrict, rename or discontinue APIs, models, authentication methods, quotas, regions, prices or service features at any time. Licensor does not warrant the continued availability or compatibility of Google Cloud, Vertex AI, Telegram or any other third-party service, and such a provider change or discontinuation is not by itself a defect or breach of this Agreement. Maintenance updates may address upstream changes during the support period, but indefinite compatibility is not guaranteed.

No provider credential, credit, account or model license is transferred by this Agreement.

5. Third-party materials

Third-party components remain governed by their own licenses and terms. The SIL Open Font License accompanying Anton applies only to that font. n8n and external storage services are not redistributed as part of the Software. Model weights are downloaded separately from their upstream hosts and remain subject to the upstream model terms.

If this Agreement conflicts with a third-party license for a third-party component, the third-party license governs that component. Licensee is responsible for accepting and complying with those terms.

6. Support and updates

Included support is limited to the documentation, supplied preflight tools and correction of reproducible defects in unmodified first-party core code on a supported environment, for the period stated in the Order.

Support does not include managed operations, custom integrations, provider account administration, content production, infrastructure recovery, data restoration, prompt tuning, legal review or guaranteed response/resolution times unless separately purchased in writing.

Updates may modify supported providers or prerequisites. No update entitlement continues beyond the period stated in the Order.

7. Licensee content and credentials

Licensee owns and is responsible for its inputs, credentials, customer assets, prompts, generated media and delivery decisions. Licensee represents that it has the rights, permissions and lawful basis needed to process and publish them.

Licensee must protect credentials, restrict network access, maintain backups and test recovery. Licensor is not a custodian of Licensee's production data under this self-hosted license.

8. No outcome guarantee

The Software is an engineering tool. Licensor does not promise virality, monetization, platform acceptance, factual accuracy, uninterrupted generation, provider acceptance, copyright clearance or any particular commercial outcome. Automated QA and safety gates do not replace human editorial, legal or factual review.

9. Warranty disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION. LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY API AVAILABILITY, QUOTAS, PRICING, REGION ACCESS OR CONTINUED COMPATIBILITY.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes rights or warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded for the applicable customer.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, CREDITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL; PROVIDER CHARGES; OR COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE.

LICENSOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ORDER WILL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE ACTUALLY PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE LICENSE UNDER THAT ORDER.

The exclusions and cap apply regardless of legal theory and even if a remedy fails its essential purpose, except where applicable law prohibits the limitation.

11. Term and termination

This Agreement begins when the Order is accepted and the license continues perpetually unless terminated under this section. Licensor may terminate it for material breach if Licensee does not cure the breach within 30 calendar days after written notice, or immediately for unauthorized redistribution, credential abuse or deliberate circumvention of license controls.

On termination, Licensee must stop using the Software and destroy distributed source copies, except for one archival copy retained solely where legally required. Sections concerning restrictions, ownership, disclaimers, liability and governing law survive termination.

12. Ownership and feedback

Licensor retains all right, title and interest in the first-party Software. No trademark rights are granted. Licensee may provide feedback voluntarily; Licensor may use non-confidential feedback without restriction or payment.

13. Export, sanctions and compliance

Licensee must comply with applicable export controls, sanctions, privacy, consumer-protection and content laws. Licensee must not provide the Software to a prohibited person or use it in a prohibited jurisdiction.

14. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Peru, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve a dispute through written negotiation for 30 calendar days. If Licensee is domiciled in Peru, the courts of Lima, Peru have exclusive jurisdiction. If Licensee is domiciled outside Peru, the dispute will be finally resolved under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one arbitrator, with the seat of arbitration in Lima, Peru. The proceeding will be conducted in Spanish unless the parties agree in writing to use English.

Nothing in this section limits mandatory consumer rights or another jurisdiction that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.

15. Order of precedence and complete agreement

If terms conflict, the order of precedence is: (1) a signed written amendment, (2) the Order, (3) this Agreement, and (4) documentation. Whop's checkout terms govern the payment transaction but do not expand the software license grant unless the Order expressly says so.

This Agreement is the complete agreement regarding the licensed Software and replaces prior representations on that subject. Changes require a written instrument accepted by both parties, except Licensor may issue non-material documentation or security updates.
