1. OMI Usage & Licensing Terms Overview

These terms govern the use of materials purchased from Orbital Methods Index (OMI). Purchase constitutes acceptance of these terms.

OMI materials are non-prescriptive reference frameworks intended to support engineering judgment. They do not replace project-specific requirements, customer agreements, or regulatory obligations.

2. License Grant

2.1 Standard Single Product License

The standard license provides perpetual internal-use access for one organization or one individual professional.

Permitted uses include:

• Preparation for technical reviews, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)

• Internal coordination, planning, and discussion

• Onboarding or orientation of personnel on relevant projects

Affiliated entities, subsidiaries, parent companies, and joint ventures are separate organizations requiring separate licenses unless covered by an enterprise agreement.
