SWITCHBOARD SDK MASTER LICENSE AGREEMENT

Effective Date: May 27, 2023
Updated: January 26, 2026

INTRODUCTION

Synervoz Communications Inc. develops and markets the Switchboard SDK. A list 
of its features is available at: https://docs.switchboard.audio/ 

To make use of the Switchboard SDK, the following license types are available:

1. Free Prototyping License to the Switchboard SDK, the "Prototyping License"
2. Commercial Licenses to the Switchboard SDK, "Commercial Licenses"
3. Example Code License, "Example Code License".

Note that the marketing names for each license may differ. For example, on the 
Switchboard Pricing page (https://switchboard.audio/pricing/), as of November 
26, 2025, the "Free" pricing tier aligns with the Prototyping License. The 
"Growth" and "Custom" tiers align with Commercial Licenses. The Example Code 
License applies to example apps and other items as noted below. 

BACKGROUND

The Prototyping License is meant to be used to build and test new 
applications, or to test new feature ideas for existing applications 
(collectively, "New Projects"). Commercial Licenses are required when New 
Projects no longer meet the limitations set out in the Free Prototyping 
License. 

No support or guarantees are included with the Prototyping License. Support, 
customization, and other requests are offered as part of Synervoz's consulting 
services business, as well as through our Commercial Licenses. 

Commercial Licenses are required when one or more limitations of the Free 
Prototyping License is exceeded. Commercial Licenses can be customized 
according to the customer's use case and business model and generally require 
you to get in touch. The Prototyping License limitations are designed to allow 
for experimentation, evaluation, and to help with decision making. The 
limitations are not designed to allow for use of the Switchboard SDK in 
commercial products at scale. 

Synervoz makes available certain example code and sample apps to illustrate 
how the Switchboard SDK can be used in different types of projects. Unless 
otherwise noted, open source license files are provided with these example 
projects. These are distinct from licenses to the Switchboard SDK, which are 
governed by this Master License Agreement. If you use any example code or 
sample apps provided by Synervoz, you need to read these license files as 
well. 

Furthermore, the Switchboard SDK contains Extensions which may include 
third-party SDKs, software and services that have their own licensing 
requirements. In these cases, you will find the licensing information in the 
download package for each such Extension. Synervoz makes no representation as 
to the licensing requirements for any third-party Extensions. It is your 
responsibility to review these requirements yourself. Certain Extensions or 
aspects of the Switchboard SDK may depend on third-party open source software 
components ("OSS Components") licensed under their own licenses, as identified 
in the documentation and/or a Licenses.txt file included with the 
distribution. Licensee's use of each OSS Component is subject to the 
applicable license for that component, and those terms will control in any 
conflict with this Agreement. Synervoz disclaims all warranties and 
liabilities with respect to OSS Components as stated in their licenses. 

Developers are free to experiment with the Switchboard SDK and to understand 
its capabilities and limitations prior to reaching out to Synervoz to discuss 
a Commercial License. When you've determined that the Switchboard SDK could be 
a good fit for your project and you are ready to discuss a Commercial License, 
please contact: 

licensing@synervoz.com 

Unauthorized and/or unlicensed usage of the Switchboard SDK or any other 
Synervoz technologies may result in interruption of service without notice. 
Synervoz is not required to provide notice of service interruption.

Note that certain aspects of this SDK and/or implementations built with it may 
be covered by one or more patents including without limitation U.S. Patent No. 
US11150866B2 and US9462115B.

LICENSE DETAILS AND DESCRIPTIONS

Prototyping License:

The Prototyping License is a free license to use the Switchboard SDK for 
experimentation and R&D purposes. It allows for public release and testing, 
including on the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, however, it is limited as 
follows ("Limitations"): 

Limited to a maximum of 20,000 Activations as determined by Synervoz's 
analytics. This is cumulative, not monthly. An activation record is stored 
each time the SDK is initialised in an application. The SDK makes a request to 
our api server to record the event. Synervoz reserves the right to change how 
activations are defined and measured. If you are uncertain whether your usage 
will exceed this limit, you must contact Synervoz promptly.
Synervoz may extend, at its discretion, the free tier beyond the 20,000 
Activation limit. For example, it might offer free use of the SDK up to 10,000 
Monthly Active Users (MAUs). Synervoz may further, at its sole discretion, 
allow users to self-report MAUs or any other metric that may be used as an 
alternative limit. But Synervoz reserves the right to contact the user to 
discuss how they are measuring usage, as well as to deny their self-reported 
metrics, imposing the stricter limit of 20,000 cumulative Activations. 
Synervoz may use your company name and logo on its website and in marketing 
materials to identify you as a customer.
Synervoz may further request that you provide attribution in the application 
or on your website such as "powered by Switchboard". This is not required by 
default, but we reserve this right if you are using the free Prototyping 
License. 
The Prototyping license is not to be used for products or installations in 
public venues such as a bar, theater, or conference hall. 
The Prototyping license cannot be used for embedded devices

Once an app breaches any of the Limitations, a Commercial License is required. 
Synervoz reserves the right to disable usage and the Switchboard SDK may 
trigger this automatically.

Commercial Licenses
Commercial Licenses currently require licensing fees to be negotiated with 
Synervoz. You must get in touch with Synervoz via licensing@synervoz.com if 
you no longer meet the Limitations of the Prototyping License. 

Synervoz may, from time to time, include fixed pricing tiers on its marketing 
website for the SDK (e.g. https://switchboard.audio/ or 
(https://switchboard.audio/pricing/). Such pricing tiers may be tied to an 
agreement that removes certain limitations or increases the usage limits 
beyond those offered as part of the free tier (i.e. the Prototyping License). 
Paid plans will be considered to incorporate Commercial Licenses. If the terms 
of those paid plans appear to conflict with this Agreement, or are otherwise 
unclear, it is your responsibility to contact licensing@synervoz.com to 
resolve any discrepancies.

Example Code License
Synervoz makes available certain example code and sample apps to illustrate 
how the Switchboard SDK can be used in different types of projects. Unless 
otherwise noted, license files are provided with these example projects. These 
are distinct from licenses to the Switchboard SDK, which are governed by this 
Master License Agreement. If you use any example code or sample apps provided 
by Synervoz, you need to read these license files as well. 

If you are using one of our example apps that contains the Switchboard SDK, 
you are also bound to this SWITCHBOARD SDK MASTER LICENSE AGREEMENT. 

WHAT IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE APPLICATION?

You must have a license for each Application (as defined below), regardless of 
how you subdivide or commercialize your technology. Each distributed 
application must have its own license.

which the Switchboard SDK is being imported. Notwithstanding any agreement 
with a third-party or any provision of law, regulation or policy, if Licensee 
is any agency of the government of the United States of America, then 
Licensee's rights in respect of the Switchboard SDK shall not exceed the 
rights provided under this Agreement, unless expressly agreed upon by Synervoz 
in a separate written agreement.

3.1 Compensation.

(a) Available Licenses; Marketing and Fees; Press Release.

(i) Prototyping License Requirements: There is no fee for the use of the 
Switchboard SDK, if and only if, Licensee's use of the Switchboard SDK is in a 
Software Application that has fewer than 20,000 Activations and meets all 
other Limitations.

For the purpose of determining the number of Activations of any Application, 
the aggregate number of Activations across target operating systems/platforms 
shall be used.

For example, if "Your App" has 20,000 Activations on iOS and 2,000 Activations 
on Android, then Your App shall have 22,000 Activations for purposes of this 
Agreement.

Synervoz may cancel or modify the Prototyping License for the Switchboard SDK 
set forth in this section at any time with or without notice.

However, the Switchboard SDK is not open-source and the Licensee is still 
subject to all of the terms as set forth on the first page of this Agreement. 
Furthermore, Synervoz may make qualification determinations of the Prototyping 
License requirements in its sole discretion.

(ii) Commercial Licenses: If Licensee is using the Switchboard SDK in an 
application or combination of applications with more than 20,000 Activations 
(including all versions of the Software Application) or otherwise does not 
qualify for the Prototyping License pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) above, prior 
to use of the Switchboard SDK the Licensee must purchase a Commercial License 
from Synervoz by contacting: 

licensing@synervoz.com 

A Commercial License needs to be agreed and paid prior to being valid. 

Licensee acknowledges that distribution of an Application or other technology 
using the Switchboard SDK with more than 20,000 Activations or otherwise not 
complying with the Limitations without a fully paid up Commercial License 
renders any licenses granted by Synervoz hereunder void and invalid. Licensee 
acknowledges it has no expectation of uninterrupted ongoing service and access 
to Synervoz technology (including without limitation the Switchboard SDK) if 
such licenses granted by Synervoz hereunder are void and invalid, with or 
without notice, due to Licensee's failure to comply with the terms of this 
Agreement.

(iii) Example Code License: Synervoz makes available certain example code and 
sample apps to illustrate how the Switchboard SDK can be used in different 
types of projects. Unless otherwise noted, license files are provided with 
these example projects. These are distinct from licenses to the Switchboard 
SDK, which are governed by this Master License Agreement. If you use any 
example code or sample apps provided by Synervoz, you need to read these 
license files as well. 

If you are using one of our example apps that contains the Switchboard SDK, 
you are also bound to this SWITCHBOARD SDK MASTER LICENSE AGREEMENT. 

(b) Attribution. Licensee will comply with Section 5.2 to the exclusive 
approval of Synervoz. 
Synervoz may use Licensee's and/or its Application's name and logo for 
external marketing, such as on its website and press releases.

(c) Support (paid subscription). The Prototyping License does not include 
support. Synervoz has no obligation to provide assistance, responses, 
troubleshooting, or services unless Licensee has an active paid subscription 
or a Commercial License (per the terms of any such Commercial License).

Synervoz may offer a paid subscription on its website for the term and price 
stated thereon to Licensees without a Commercial License. Support under any 
such paid subscription includes commercially reasonable efforts email support 
provided at Synervoz's discretion and is not expected to exceed one (1) hour 
per month per licensee in the aggregate or as stated when you purchase support 
or as otherwise stated in writing with Synervoz. Any unused support time 
purchased does not carry over between months, and Synervoz has no obligation 
to provide support in excess of the purchased time. Synervoz makes no 
guarantees regarding response times or outcomes. Support fees are 
non-refundable. Support is provided only during an active, paid subscription 
term and shall automatically terminate upon expiration or non-payment.

Support does not include custom software development or implementation 
services unless expressly agreed in writing by Synervoz. Support does not 
relieve Licensee of responsibility for testing, validation, or determining the 
suitability of the Switchboard SDK for any use case or production environment.

Any technologies, documentation, application programming interfaces, code, or 
other materials created or provided by Synervoz in connection with such 
support shall be deemed part of the Switchboard SDK and governed exclusively 
by this Agreement. Licensee shall have no rights therein except as expressly 
granted under this Agreement.

4.1 Intellectual Property.

(a) This Agreement does not transfer or assign to Licensee, any intellectual 
property right including any patent, design, industrial design, trademark, 
service mark, copyright or rights in any confidential information or trade 
secrets, in or related to the Switchboard SDK or any part hereof. The 
Switchboard SDK and all copies thereof remain the property of Synervoz and are 
only licensed under this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges that there are no 
implied licenses granted under this Agreement, and all rights, save for those 
license rights expressly granted to Licensee hereunder, shall remain with 
Synervoz. Licensee agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall adversely 
affect any rights and recourse to remedies, including without limitation, 
injunctive relief that Synervoz may have under any applicable laws relating to 
the protection of Synevoz's intellectual property or other rights.

(b) Any feedback or suggestions provided to Synervoz by Licensee relating to 
the Switchboard SDK, shall be owned by Synervoz and Licensee hereby assigns to 
Synervoz all such feedback and suggestions.

5.1 Confidentiality. Other than as incorporated in the Applications' 
documentation, Licensee shall not sell, transfer, publish, disclose, display 
or otherwise make available the Switchboard SDK or copies thereof to others. 
Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to secure and protect the Switchboard 
SDK, documentation and copies thereof and to take appropriate action by 
instruction or agreement with its Authorized Users.

5.2 Synervoz Attribution for Use of Switchboard SDK with Prototyping License. 
To maintain continued service of the Switchboard SDK under a Prototyping 
License, Licensee agrees to place the following notices in the credits for any 
Software Application.
