HELIOS is a tool for setting up and configuring SOLECTRUS. These terms apply to HELIOS only: HELIOS is proprietary source-available software and not open source software. SOLECTRUS itself remains unaffected and is free open source software under the AGPL‑3.0 (see the "Relation to SOLECTRUS" section).

## Source code

The source code is publicly visible for transparency, reference, and review only. Except as required for viewing this repository through GitHub or as otherwise permitted by GitHub's Terms of Service, no permission is granted to copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, sell, or create derivative works based on the source code. In particular, building images, binaries, or other derivatives from the source code is not permitted. Only the official Docker image published by the copyright holder is licensed for use under the terms below.

## Docker Image

The official HELIOS Docker image published by the copyright holder may be pulled, run, and operated free of charge for non-commercial, personal use. The chosen hosting environment — own hardware, a rented server, or any other infrastructure — does not affect this permission, as long as HELIOS is operated for personal purposes and not offered as a service to third parties.

Commercial use requires prior written permission from the copyright holder. "Commercial use" means any use of HELIOS undertaken with the intent of direct or indirect financial gain, including but not limited to:

- installing, configuring, or operating HELIOS or SOLECTRUS for paying customers;
- using HELIOS as part of paid consulting, installation, support, or managed services;
- offering, bundling, or including HELIOS or SOLECTRUS as part of a commercial product, package, or service, including as a free add-on to a paid sale or installation;
- paid hosting of HELIOS or SOLECTRUS for third parties;
- using HELIOS in connection with paid customer projects or commercial deployments;
- operating HELIOS for a photovoltaic installation of a business or commercial enterprise.

Use by non-profit organizations and public institutions for their own purposes is not, by itself, commercial use.

The fact that feed-in tariffs from a photovoltaic installation may qualify as commercial activity under tax law does not, by itself, render the use of HELIOS commercial.

Requests for commercial-use permission can be sent to info@solectrus.de.

## Trademarks

"SOLECTRUS" is a commercial designation of the copyright holder and may not be used for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

## No Warranty

To the extent permitted by applicable law, HELIOS is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. This limitation does not apply to liability for intent or gross negligence, nor to any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law.

## Governing Law and Jurisdiction

German law applies. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes between merchants is the seat of the copyright holder. Statutory venue rights of consumers remain unaffected.

## Severability

If any provision of these terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic intent of the original.

## Version

The version of these terms that applies to a given HELIOS installation is the version shipped inside the Docker image at the time the image was built. The build date and corresponding source revision are recorded in the image's OCI labels `org.opencontainers.image.created` and `org.opencontainers.image.revision`.

## Relation to SOLECTRUS

These terms apply to HELIOS only. SOLECTRUS itself — the application that HELIOS installs and configures — remains open source software under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL‑3.0).
