Phonemos Cloud is the standard licensing for our Cloud solution. You purchase a subscription and in turn receive the right to use the SaaS service during that term. The subscription fee includes hosting infrastructure, monitoring and operation, licensing and software maintenance costs as well as new software releases during the term.

If you are unsure what you are looking for, this is probably what you need.

Terms of service (Phonemos Cloud)

Phonemos On Premises is the standard licensing for our Software deployed on Premises, e.g. in your own data center. Your purchase a subscription and in turn have the right to use the SaaS service during that term. The subscription fee includes licensing and software maintenance costs as well as new software releases during the term. The infrastructure, operation and procurement of third party services like DeepL or LLM subscriptions are up to you and paid by you.

The only difference to the Phonemos Cloud terms is, that you take more responsibility for operating the system.

The Phonemos Government Open Source Licensing Agreement is a specialised licensing for European governments looking to achieve digital sovereignty. Imagine this license to be a combination of the above two (as governments can either deploy on cloud or on premises in a mixed setup) plus certain special rights on top. The following rights are granted to European governments (EU/EEA/EFTA) on top:

• the right to receive and audit the source code of each new version.

• the right to audit Phonemos and perform security screenings as required.

• the right to modify the code and create derivate versions for own use provided that all users that will use the derivative version are fully licensed and the changes are shared with us for possible integration in the product standard.

• the right to share derivate versions of the product with other government bodies who are also licensing their users with the Phonemos4Government license agreement.

• the right to retain the use and all above rights once the software vendor maintaining Phonemos goes out of business, stops maintaining the software, cancels the contract etc.

This agreement does not waive license fees.

Base fee

Every Phonemos installation comes with a base fee.

• for the Phonemos Cloud version, it is a fee for each site.

• for the Phonemos On Premise version, it is a fixed fee.

Editor licenses

A fee for each user with an editor license. Editors are considered the standard users in Phonemos. A user with editor license can use all functionality that he is permitted to use.

At least one editor needs to be licensed to have a useful system.

Viewer licenses
(optional)

A fee for each user with a viewer license. Viewers are meant to be used with low engagement users that only require reduced functionality and mostly consume content. A user with viewer license can use only use a restricted subset of the functionality that he may otherwise have permissions for.
