31 planned items in Licensing, Updates & Co-op Pricing.
Shown only as an illustration of scale, in mock units: a cost of about 1000 a month shared by about 100 businesses is about 10 a month each; not a price and not a real cost
Depends on: LIC-0001
Decided (tentative) by the owner: the fee is the plain cost split with no margin; the owner accepts sunk costs for robust systems, competes on price and aims to win by adoption, because software is commoditizing; because there is no cushion costs must stay bounded (D35 resolved)
Depends on: LIC-0001
A quarterly review of the published cost lines, an optional nominal rainy-day reserve line shown openly (a cost line, never a margin) and an honest note that a cost shock is passed to members in the next quarter
Depends on: LIC-0001
The cost model may carry one labelled rainy-day reserve line, at most one, never a related-party line, zero or tiny by default and with no cap for now; it is inside the split, shown on its own on the transparency page and reviewed each quarter (D38)
Depends on: LIC-0001
Every cost line states whether it is the owner's own pay or a charge of a company the owner is affiliated with; the field cannot be omitted; such cost is inside the split, never on top
Depends on: LIC-0001
The calculator output and the public transparency page show the related-party total, its share of the cost and its part of one member's fee, separately and labelled, so the cost split stays honest
Depends on: LIC-0001
A related-party line may carry a documented basis such as hours times a market-rate reference; a line without one is shown as having no documented basis; only related-party lines may carry a basis
Depends on: LIC-0001
A cost model may list public donations as labelled lines with no donor identity unless the donor agrees; they are applied against the cost before it is split and shown on the cost page
Depends on: LIC-0001
No field of the cost model can express a private donation or donor details, and the validator refuses the key names that would; private donations stay in the company's private finances and do not change the fee
Depends on: LIC-0001
The page and the calculator output state that they list the costs that make up the fee and that the company keeps its other finances private
Depends on: LIC-0001
A milestone notice shows one figure labelled estimated and not binding; in house it is a projection of the price with a 15 percent buffer, so the billed amount usually comes in lower; the notice does not describe the buffer, and the wording must be confirmed by a lawyer as not misleading
Depends on: LIC-0001
The 15 percent buffer is tentative and lives only in code and in the operator's internal output; it is not a field of a signed fee document, not in the public view and not shown to customers
Depends on: LIC-0001
The customer-facing estimate carries the label Estimated (not binding) in English and Spanish and one figure; the projection and the buffer are internal and appear only in the operator's output
Depends on: LIC-0001
The two signing keys are held by two custodians that are separate legal entities in separate places, each with its own hardware keys, signing offline, two signatures required, neither able to sign alone, no signing key on any online server
Depends on: LIC-0001
A hosting company, if the owner founds one, may serve signed files and may be one custodian; the server itself holds no signing key
Depends on: LIC-0001
If one person owns and controls both custodians the split protects against theft and mistakes, not against that person; it is not a substitute for a legal opinion and is not to be advertised as independent oversight
Depends on: LIC-0001
The company holds one key and a tentative US-based Company XXX, location undecided, holds the physical key; because the owner controls both the independence is limited and the co-signer conflict stays recorded (D39)
Depends on: LIC-0001
A business that is over the profit threshold and uses a charged service is billed at the quarter turnover; otherwise it continues unbilled
Depends on: LIC-0001
Once billed, a business has until the next quarter turnover to pay; if it pays it continues, if it does not the paid features end
Depends on: LIC-0001
Two notices as a business approaches the threshold (tentative levels 75 and 90 percent of it), each once, never at or above the threshold where billing applies
Depends on: LIC-0001
Alerts go only to businesses that actually use the charged services, the POS and Simca Logistics, and to nobody else
Depends on: LIC-0001
A local in-app notice is always shown to a user of a charged service; email, phone or web messages are sent only to a user who registered and opted in
Depends on: LIC-0001
The business's own profit figure is measured on its own machine; no telemetry; a remote notice is possible only through a user-initiated attestation or opt-in
Depends on: LIC-0001
A business that does not pay loses only what it pays for; the software itself stays free and keeps running
Depends on: LIC-0001
In every billing standing the business can run the software, read its books and sales data, export them and reach the records Peruvian retention law requires; a test checks every standing and every sequence of quarter turnovers
Depends on: LIC-0001
Read-only access and export are available in every standing, including after cancellation
Depends on: LIC-0001
A lapsed business that pays is restored to full paid features without a penalty fee (draft default)
Depends on: LIC-0001
Draft defaults: payment window of one quarter, then 14 days of grace; an open written dispute in good faith suspends the lapse; all draft until a lawyer reviews them
Depends on: LIC-0001
Decided (tentative): the charged services are the POS and Simca Logistics under one flat fee; what else stays free is still open; the hard constraint on books and records holds whatever the list (D37)
Depends on: LIC-0001
A business above the profit threshold that does not pay loses the Simca Logistics service (and the paid POS services); its books, sales data and Logistics records stay readable and exportable
Depends on: LIC-0001
A Peruvian lawyer must review the cancellation terms, the lapse behaviour and the estimate wording, including whether an estimate padded by 15 percent and labelled only as estimated could mislead, before any real bill
Depends on: LIC-0001
