A Singularity Commercial Use License (SCUL) is mandatory for any individual, organization, or entity utilizing Singularity in activities intended to generate tangible or intangible value, whether immediately or in the future. This includes, but is not limited to:
Business Activities:
Any use of Singularity that directly or indirectly contributes to creating revenue, cost savings, operational efficiencies, or other measurable organizational benefits requires a Commercial Use License. Examples include:

Funded Research and Academic Use:
Researchers affiliated with academic institutions, government entities, non-governmental organizations, private research laboratories, or nonprofit organizations who are on payroll or receive funding to conduct their work must obtain a Commercial Use License. This requirement applies regardless of whether the research itself generates revenue. Funded researchers are explicitly prohibited from operating under a Personal Research Use License. They must apply for a Singularity Commercial Use License.

Annual Flat Fee:
Each SCUL requires a yearly flat fee, determined based on the organization’s size, use case, and specific needs. This fee ensures equitable access to Singularity’s resources. -
Revenue-Based Royalty:
When organizations start generating revenue with Singularity, a pre-agreed upon royalty fee will apply. This fee structure is designed to be fair and scalable, fostering mutually beneficial partnerships.
