ArkGene, including its source code, documentation, original visual assets,

"Software"), is proprietary. Except for third-party materials identified in
the repository, all rights, title and interest in the Software are reserved by
the copyright holder.

2. LIMITED AUTHORIZED ACCESS

Access to this repository does not make the Software open source and does not
transfer ownership. A person expressly authorized by the copyright holder may
view the Software and create proposed changes solely for evaluation or for
contributing to ArkGene under the repository's Contributor and Intellectual
Property Policy. This permission is personal, limited, revocable,
non-exclusive and non-transferable.

whole or in part:

e. use the Software or its non-public materials to build or assist a competing
   product or service;

Nothing in this License limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or
restricted under applicable law.

4. CONTRIBUTIONS

Proposed contributions are governed by CONTRIBUTOR_POLICY.md. No contribution

because it is submitted. Rights for each accepted contribution must be
documented in the manner required by the copyright holder before merge.

5. THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS

Third-party software, fonts, trademarks and other materials remain subject to
their respective licenses and owners' rights. A third-party notice or license
applicable to a specific file takes precedence for that file only.

6. BRAND

The ArkGene name, logo, visual identity and original brand assets may not be
used, copied, modified or distributed without prior written permission. No
trademark rights are granted by this License.

7. NO WARRANTY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS",
