ServerMind for Linux — End User License Agreement
Last updated: 1.1 — effective 2026-10-07
Version 1.1 — effective 2026-10-07 Licensor: Exeliontech Ltd, a company registered in Bulgaria under number 208069192 ("ServerMind", "Licensor", "we", "us").
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") governs Your use of ServerMind for Linux. It consists of Part A (License Terms) and Part B (Third-Party Software Notices). By activating or using the Software You accept this Agreement and the ServerMind Terms of Service (https://servermind.io/terms).
Summary. ServerMind is proprietary software © Exeliontech Ltd, licensed per
the number of agents in Your plan, provided "as is", for self-hosted use. It
includes third-party open-source software (Trivy, Nuclei, nuclei-templates,
YARA — and OpenSSL, zlib and glibc statically linked into the bundled YARA
binary) under permissive and LGPL licenses; their notices are reproduced in
Part B and in the LICENSES/ files shipped with the agent. The LGPL component
(glibc) carries a relink offer and reservation of Your rights, set out in Part B.
This summary does not replace the full terms below.
Part A — License Terms
1. Agreement
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a binding contract between you (the individual or legal entity installing or using the Software, "You") and Exeliontech Ltd, a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Bulgaria ("Licensor"). By installing, activating, or using the ServerMind software, agent, backend, and related components (collectively, the "Software"), You agree to be bound by this Agreement. If You do not agree, do not install or use the Software.
2. License Grant
Subject to Your compliance with this Agreement and payment of any applicable fees, Licensor grants You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software on Your own infrastructure (self-hosted) for Your internal business operations, limited to the number of agents (one agent = one Linux server or virtual machine) authorized by Your active subscription or license key.
Editions (per the then-current pricing):
- Free — up to 1 agent, no charge.
- Scale — 2 to 1,000 agents, billed per agent.
- Enterprise — 200+ agents, by contract.
All editions include the full feature set. License entitlement (agent count, term) is enforced via a license key / activation token; only license validation communicates with Licensor's systems.
3. Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. The proprietary ServerMind source code, design, and trademarks are the exclusive property of Exeliontech Ltd.
4. Restrictions
Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or by applicable mandatory law, You shall not: (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Software; (b) distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise make the Software available to third parties; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the proprietary Software, or attempt to derive its source code; (d) remove or alter any proprietary notices; (e) circumvent or tamper with the license-validation or agent-count enforcement; or (f) use the Software to build a competing product.
These restrictions apply only to ServerMind's proprietary code — they do NOT apply to the third-party open-source components listed in Part B, which are governed solely by their own licenses.
5. Third-Party Open-Source Software
The Software includes third-party open-source components, redistributed under permissive licenses. Your rights and obligations with respect to those components are governed by their respective licenses, reproduced in Part B. Nothing in Part A limits any right granted to You under those open-source licenses.
6. Fees & Term
Paid editions are billed per agent via Licensor's payment processor (Paddle, acting as merchant of record for billing and applicable VAT). This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if You breach it; upon termination You must cease use and remove the Software (the Free edition and the open-source components in Part B may continue under their own terms).
7. Disclaimer of Warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, express or implied, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, except to the extent such warranties cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL. LICENSOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. Nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.
9. Data
The Software is self-hosted; Your operational data remains on Your infrastructure. Only license-validation metadata is transmitted to Licensor. See the Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum for details.
10. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Bulgaria and applicable European Union law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Bulgaria shall have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer protections.
11. Entire Agreement
This Agreement (with the referenced policies) is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Software and supersedes prior understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.

Part B — Third-Party Software Notices
ServerMind redistributes the following third-party open-source components. Each is provided under its own license, reproduced verbatim below. These notices are provided to satisfy the attribution requirements of those licenses. The components remain the property of their respective authors.
| Component | Use in ServerMind | License |
|---|---|---|
| Trivy (Aqua Security) | bundled vulnerability scanner binary | Apache-2.0 |
| Nuclei (ProjectDiscovery) | bundled scanner binary | MIT |
| Nuclei Templates (ProjectDiscovery) | bundled detection templates | MIT |
| YARA (VirusTotal) | malware-scanning engine (bundled yara CLI binary, run as a separate process) |
BSD-3-Clause |
| OpenSSL 1.1.1 | statically linked into the bundled yara binary (hash module) |
OpenSSL License + Original SSLeay License (dual) |
| zlib 1.2.11 | statically linked into the bundled yara binary |
zlib License |
| GNU C Library (glibc) 2.31 | statically linked into the bundled yara binary |
LGPL-2.1-or-later |
On the bundled
yarabinary: YARA runs as an arm's-length subprocess of the agent (not linked into ServerMind), but theyarabinary itself is built statically and therefore contains OpenSSL, zlib and glibc code. Their full license texts ship in the agent'sLICENSES/directory (OpenSSL-1.1.1-OpenSSL-SSLeay.txt,zlib-1.2.11.txt,glibc-2.31-LGPL-2.1.txt).LGPL (glibc) — relink offer & reservation of rights: glibc is licensed under LGPL-2.1-or-later. In accordance with LGPL §6, Exeliontech Ltd will, for any ServerMind release, provide on written request to [email protected] the
yaraobject files needed to relink the binary against a modified glibc, for at least three (3) years. Nothing in this Agreement restricts, and this Agreement does not purport to restrict, any right You have under the LGPL-2.1 (or any other third-party open-source license) with respect to those components — including the rights to modify and relink them; to the extent of any conflict, those licenses govern the affected components.
Not redistributed by ServerMind: in the official distribution, PostgreSQL and Valkey run as external container images pulled by You, and Lynis, OpenSCAP and the SCAP Security Guide are installed from their upstream or operating-system packages. Those components are governed by their own distributions and licenses, not by this notice.
Other libraries: the ServerMind binaries and web interface also include open-source libraries (Rust crates and npm packages) under permissive licenses (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD, ISC) and, for a small number of unmodified libraries, MPL-2.0 or OFL-1.1. The complete inventory is shipped with the software in
THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md; the source code of MPL-2.0 components is available from their upstream repositories or on written request to [email protected].

incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
