2.1 Customer Licences for Managed or Hosted Services
If you provide any Managed or Hosted Services that enable a third party to access any substantial set of the features or functionality of the Parallia Materials or Derivative Materials, you must ensure that each such third-party customer possesses a valid Parallia License (including, where applicable, a 'Permanent License 2026').

2.2 CC-BY-NC Redistribution of Derivative Materials
You may redistribute Derivative Materials only if all of the following conditions are met:

See: https://licensing.parallia.eu/blogs/licenses/parallia-model-subscription-license.” -
You do not remove or obscure any Parallia copyright, license, or attribution notices.
The CC-BY-NC condition above applies only to redistribution of model weights, datasets, or derivative artifacts. It does not restrict commercial deployment permitted under Section 1. However, you must take reasonable measures to ensure customers will encounter the above notice if they attempt to access the Derivative Materials independently of your application.
