Licensing

Obsidian Grid Licensing

Obsidian Grid is a licensed private AI operating platform for high-control environments. This is not custom consulting. This is a proprietary system deployed to your infrastructure.

Hardware Policy

Your hardware, your control

Obsidian Grid runs on customer-owned hardware or an approved procurement path. Hardware is billed separately and is not included in license pricing.

BYOH
Bring Your Own Hardware

Best margin, fastest deployment. You provide NVIDIA GPU hardware; we deploy Obsidian Grid to it.

Turnkey
Procured + Integrated

Hardware sourced at cost plus procurement/integration fee. Full stack delivered ready to operate.

Supported infrastructure classes include workstation GPU nodes, NAS-backed storage, and optional edge ingress configurations.
License & Service Terms

Terms summary

The following summary is provided for commercial clarity and is subject to the executed Master Services & License Agreement.

01
License Scope

Obsidian Grid is licensed, not sold. Customer receives a non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use licensed platform components within the approved deployment environment during the active license term.

02
Intellectual Property

All proprietary modules, orchestration profiles, policy packs, templates, and system logic remain the exclusive intellectual property of Rootstar Studios.

03
Environment Limits

License is valid only for the agreed deployment class and site scope. Material topology expansion, multi-site replication, or production cloning outside licensed scope requires a license upgrade.

04
Hardware

Hardware is customer-owned or procured separately. Hardware pricing, warranties, RMA handling, and vendor-specific support terms are external to platform licensing unless explicitly included in writing.

05
Operations Tiers

Response times, monitoring scope, update cadence, and support channels are governed by the selected Operations Tier and documented service levels.

06
Exclusions

License and Operations Tiers do not include: custom software development outside agreed scope, third-party vendor outages, unsupported infrastructure or unapproved modifications, data loss events without approved backup policy adherence.

07
Acceptable Use

Customer may not reverse engineer, resell, redistribute, or provide Obsidian Grid as a service to third parties without explicit written authorization.

08
Security & Access

Customer is responsible for credential hygiene, physical security, and baseline infrastructure controls. Rootstar may suspend support for environments with critical unresolved security risks.

09
Renewal & Termination

Licenses renew per contract term. Upon expiration or termination, customer access to licensed updates, packs, and managed operations services may be limited or discontinued per agreement.

10
Definitive Agreement

Final rights and obligations are governed solely by the executed contract documents.

The interface can change. The system remains.

Obsidian Grid is powered by Velithra Core, OpenClaw Engine, and the Aegis Layer, with Nyx Interface as an optional control surface.

Apply for Early Deployment

Early deployment slots are limited. Qualified environments receive architecture fit assessment and deployment class recommendation.
