## 1. Dual Licensing Model

Claude Craft is dual-licensed:

2. **Commercial License** (this document) — provides additional rights, SLA, and enterprise support for organizations meeting certain criteria.

## 2. When is the Commercial License required?

The MIT License is **sufficient** for the vast majority of users:

- Individual developers
- Open-source projects
- Educational and research use
- Organizations with **annual revenue ≤ €1,000,000**
- Non-profit entities

The Commercial License is **required** if ANY of the following applies:

- Annual organizational revenue > €1,000,000 AND claude-craft is used in commercial production
- You require a contractual SLA (response time, uptime guarantee, dedicated support)
- You require on-premise private support channels
- You require indemnification against third-party IP claims
- You embed claude-craft in a commercial product sold to third parties

## 3. Commercial Tiers (draft pricing)

| Tier | Price | Annual Revenue Cap | SLA Response | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Starter** | €5,000 / year | €1M - €10M | 24h business | Email |
| **Team** | €12,000 / year | €10M - €100M | 4h business | Email + Slack Connect |
