License Agreement
Effective date: 2026-04-20
By selecting the “I Agree” button (or any equivalent confirmation mechanism) made available at the time of purchase, or by downloading, installing, copying, saving on your device, or otherwise using the Licensor’s Software or support, you become a party to this License Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "LA") and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions set forth below.
If you do not accept the terms of this LA, no license is granted to you in respect of the Licensor’s Software, and you must not download, install, copy, access, or otherwise use the Licensor’s Software, in whole or in part. If the Licensor’s Software has already been downloaded or installed, you must immediately cease all use and permanently uninstall, remove, and delete it and all copies thereof from your systems and devices.
1. INTRODUCTION
This LA is a legal agreement between a legal entity (hereinafter referred to as “Customer” or „Licensee”) and BIANALYTICS CONCEPT SRL (“TribeBlend”, “Licensor”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us”) governing the access to and use of the software, components, documentation, demos, add-ins, updates, and other related materials made available by TribeBlend (hereinafter referred to as "TribeBlend Software").
TribeBlend Software is a desktop data analytics application that enables users to connect to data warehouses (such as Databricks), write SQL queries, visualize data, and perform bidirectional synchronization with their data sources.
The TribeBlend Software processes Customer Data locally on the Customer's device; Customer Data is not transmitted to TribeBlend servers. Certain AI Features, if enabled by the Customer, may transmit inputs to third-party AI providers as described in Section 10 (AI in Product). Telemetry data, limited to technical, diagnostic, usage, and performance information, may be transmitted to TribeBlend as described in Section 23 (Telemetry).
The TribeBlend Software is licensed, not sold.
2. GRANT OF LICENSE
Provided that the Customer always complies with this LA and pays all required license fees, the Customer is permitted to install and use the Tribeblend Software under a license that is limited in scope, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, and does not allow sublicensing.
This right applies only for the duration of the applicable license period, within the scope of the License Type described in Section 3, and on the permitted number of machines, in a manner specified in the terms of this LA. Each license is tied to a specific number of machine activations as defined by the Customer’s subscription plan. The Customer may deactivate machines through their account dashboard to free up activations.
3. LICENSE TYPES
3.1 Enterprise License - For Databricks teams with governance and support requirements
Each new customer receives a 14-day Enterprise trial license upon creating an account on the TribeBlend website. During the trial, the customer has full access to the features described below. At the end of the 14-day trial period, the license expires automatically and access to the TribeBlend Software is suspended, unless the customer enters into a paid Enterprise subscription. The trial license is non-transferable and limited to one per organization.
The Enterprise License is designed for organizations requiring advanced governance, security, and operational support.
Under the Enterprise License, TribeBlend grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-assignable license to install, access, and use the TribeBlend Software within the organization in accordance with this LA and the additional terms specified in the Enterprise Order Form, which will include applicable commercial terms and may also include additional contractual provisions.
Enterprise licenses include the following capabilities:
Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication
SAML-based authentication and service principal authentication
Administrative dashboards
Unlimited audit logging capabilities
Dedicated account management support
Custom onboarding and rollout services for teams with 25 or more analysts
3.2 Evaluation Demo
TribeBlend may provide access to the TribeBlend Software for evaluation purposes to allow prospective customers to assess whether the TribeBlend Software fits their Databricks workflows, operational requirements, and governance expectations.
Evaluation or demonstration access may include product demonstrations, guided evaluation sessions and technical guidance from the TribeBlend team. Such sessions may be tailored to the roles and evaluation objectives of the prospective customer.
As part of the evaluation process, prospective customers may be requested to provide certain contextual information regarding their team structure, platform setup, workflows, or evaluation goals. This information may be used by TribeBlend solely for the purpose of tailoring the evaluation session to the prospective customer’s use case. Scheduling of demonstration sessions may be made available only after such preliminary information is provided.
During the evaluation process, TribeBlend may demonstrate or make available certain functionalities of the TribeBlend Software, including:
the connection of TribeBlend to Databricks through OAuth authentication;
Ask TribeBlend functionality for natural-language interaction with Databricks data;
spreadsheet-native modeling, analysis, and validation workflows;
governed write-back capabilities and conflict review mechanisms;
validation and review processes applicable to AI-generated SQL queries before execution;
workspace connection setup and Unity Catalog alignment;
seat, machine, and administrative workflow overview;
the role of TribeBlend in relation to Databricks platform controls and data warehouse governance mechanisms;
potential rollout paths depending on the size of the customer’s team and intended use cases.
Evaluation sessions may take place using a TribeBlend demonstration environment or, at the customer’s discretion, using the customer’s own Databricks workspace where technically feasible.
Evaluation access does not grant the customer any license rights in the TribeBlend Software. Continued use of the TribeBlend Software following the evaluation period requires the purchase of an applicable paid license.
Evaluation access is temporary, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by TribeBlend at any time.
3.3 The TribeBlend Software may not be resold, sublicensed, redistributed, assigned, transferred, leased, rented, timeshared, or otherwise made available to any third party by the Customer. The Customer may not use the TribeBlend Software for any purpose prohibited by applicable law or this LA, including any use restricted under License Restrictions or any use exceeding the scope of the rights expressly granted herein.
4. PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS
All fees shall be paid by the Customer using a valid electronic payment method. In relation to payment by card or any other form of payment agreed on a monthly or annual basis (“Recurring Payments”), by purchasing the TribeBlend subscription, the Customer authorizes TribeBlend or its agents to charge the Customer’s payment card automatically for all fees due under this LA, including fees for any renewed subscription plans.
Customer agrees that the Payment card specified by Customer for Recurring Payments is, and will continue to be, an account that Customer owns or is otherwise legally authorized to use, and that Customer will maintain sufficient funds in the account to make Recurring Payments.
If a Recurring Payment fails, TribeBlend will retry the charge. If payment fails on two (2) consecutive occasions, TribeBlend will cancel the subscription and will suspend the Customer’s access key and the Customer’s access to the TribeBlend Software until effective payment is made.
The Customer may cancel Recurring Payments at any time through the Customer’s account or by contacting TribeBlend. The cancellation will take effect from the next billing cycle and shall not entitle the Customer to a refund for any current billing period already paid.
Refund Policy
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for new subscriptions. If you are not satisfied with the Software within the first 14 days of your initial subscription, contact us at contact@tribeblend.com for a full refund.
Refunds are not available for subscription renewals or for subscriptions that have been active for more than 14 days.

The Customer shall be solely responsible for any taxes, duties, or similar governmental charges applicable in its jurisdiction, including any withholding taxes. All payments to TribeBlend shall be made in full, without any deduction or withholding.
Depending on your payment method and issuing bank, additional currency conversion or international transaction fees may be applied by your payment provider. We do not control or receive any portion of these fees.
6. EXPIRATION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM
Upon expiration of the subscription term, the Customer must either renew the subscription to continue using the TribeBlend Software or cease using the TribeBlend Software and uninstall all installed copies.
If TribeBlend's list price has changed prior to renewal, any renewal will be charged at the then-current list price in effect at the time of renewal, or at the price separately agreed in the Customer's Enterprise Order Form.
7. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION FOR NON-PAYMENT
If the Customer fails to pay any amount on time, TribeBlend may suspend the Customer’s access to the TribeBlend Software until all outstanding amounts have been paid in full or may terminate this LA. TribeBlend shall have no liability for any unavailability, loss of access, loss of functionality, or deletion of data resulting from such suspension or termination.
If the Customer’s access to the TribeBlend Software is suspended due to failure to pay, the Customer must pay the entire outstanding amount to restore access to the TribeBlend Software.
Restoration of access may be subject to processing time, and TribeBlend does not guarantee that any data, content, inputs, files, prompts, configurations, or other materials submitted to, processed by, or used in connection with the TribeBlend Software (“Customer data”) will remain available following suspension.
8. TRIBEBLEND SOFTWARE ACTIVATION
The TribeBlend Software is delivered electronically. To access it, the Customer must first create an account on the TribeBlend website, confirming acceptance of this License Agreement, the Terms of Use, and the Privacy Policy. Upon account creation, the Customer receives a 14-day Enterprise trial license; the Customer may then download the TribeBlend Software from the "Download" section of the Customer's account dashboard, in the version corresponding to the Customer's operating system (macOS or Windows).
The access key issued at account creation enables use of the TribeBlend Software during the trial period and, upon payment in full of the applicable Enterprise subscription fee, during the paid subscription term. The access key is unique to the Customer's organization and may not be shared with any third party.
TribeBlend does not ship physical products. The Customer is responsible for maintaining a valid account and accurate contact details, including a valid email address, for account, delivery, and communication purposes.
9. CREDENTIALS
The Customer shall keep its access credentials confidential and shall not disclose or share them with any third party, except with its duly authorized persons. The Customer shall be solely responsible for all activities carried out using its access credentials.
10. AI IN PRODUCT
TribeBlend Software contains AI features. The AI features require an internet connection and an active term for the license to function.
The Customer warrants that it has all necessary rights or permissions to submit and use any data, content, or materials in connection with the TribeBlend Software. The Customer acknowledges that all such submissions are made at its own risk and remains solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and use of such data, as well as for any consequences arising from its use within the TribeBlend Software.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that AI Features may generate outputs, suggestions, recommendations, SQL queries, summaries, classifications, or other results (“Outputs”) that may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, inconsistent, misleading, biased, non-unique, or otherwise unsuitable for Customer’s intended purposes. TribeBlend does not warrant or represent that any Output will be correct, reliable, lawful, fit for purpose, or free from errors.
Customer remains solely responsible for any decision to use, implement, act on, or rely on any Outputs generated by the AI Features, and for any consequences, liabilities, losses, or damages arising therefrom. Customer shall review and validate all Outputs prior to any such use or reliance and shall not treat the AI Features or any Output as a substitute for human judgment, professional advice, or independent review.
To the extent AI Features are enabled through or rely upon third-party providers, models, APIs, or infrastructure, Customer acknowledges that such third-party services may be subject to separate terms, technical limitations, availability constraints, and changes beyond TribeBlend’s control. TribeBlend shall have no liability for any unavailability, degradation, error, interruption, modification, suspension, discontinuation, or inaccuracy attributable in whole or in part to such third-party AI services. Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and determining whether it agrees to the terms applicable to such third-party AI services, and if Customer does not agree to such terms, Customer must not use the TribeBlend Software.
TribeBlend may monitor, limit, suspend, modify, or disable access to any AI Features at any time where reasonably necessary to prevent abuse, mitigate legal or security risk, comply with applicable law or third-party requirements, or protect TribeBlend, its customers, its service providers, or any third party.
11. UPDATES
Following activation of a valid subscription, the Customer is entitled to access and use the TribeBlend Software, together with any updates that may be made available by TribeBlend during the subscription period. Access to future releases of the TribeBlend Software and any related support services is conditional upon the Customer maintaining a valid and active license.
12. TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Technical support (“Support”) is provided by TribeBlend and is intended primarily to assist with usage-related issues and to identify and mitigate bugs and other problems related to the TribeBlend Software.
The Customer may access such assistance by submitting requests through the communication channels provided by TribeBlend, such as email or ticketing systems. TribeBlend shall address such requests in line with the support level applicable to the Customer’s subscription plan.

Any content, files, software, or data downloaded or otherwise obtained using the TribeBlend Software are obtained at Licensee’s own discretion and risk.

Licensor has the right at any time to modify, update, enhance, suspend, or discontinue the TribeBlend Software, in whole or in part, whether temporarily or permanently, including by adding, removing, limiting, or changing any features, functionalities, or technical requirements.

22. INDEMNITY
Licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Licensor, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents (together, the “TribeBlend Indemnified Parties”) from and against any third-party claim, action, proceeding, demand, or investigation, and any related losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable and documented legal fees, arising out of or relating to:

Licensor shall reasonably cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s expense, in connection with the defense of such claim. Licensor may participate in the defense with its own counsel at its own expense.
Licensee shall not settle any claim in a manner that admits liability or fault on the part of any TribeBlend Indemnified Party, imposes any payment or non-monetary obligation on any TribeBlend Indemnified Party, or otherwise adversely affects any TribeBlend Indemnified Party, without Licensor’s prior written consent.
23. TELEMETRY
TribeBlend may collect, use, process, and analyze technical, diagnostic, usage, and performance data relating to the Customer’s use of the TribeBlend Software for purposes of providing, securing, supporting, enforcing, improving, and developing the TribeBlend Software, including license compliance monitoring. Such data shall not include Customer Data except to the extent necessary for the foregoing purposes.
24. TERMINATION
24.1 Cancellation of subscription
The Customer may cancel the renewal of its Subscription at any time through its account on the TribeBlend website.
Such cancellation shall take effect at the end of the then-current subscription term, and this LA shall remain in full force and effect until the expiry of that subscription term. Cancellation shall not relieve the Customer from the obligation to pay any fees accrued and due up to the effective date of termination.
24.2 Termination for breach of essential obligations
The Parties expressly agree that the obligations set out in paragraphs (A) through (D) below are essential obligations of the Customer. In the event of breach of these obligations, this LA shall be terminated ipso jure, with immediate effect, without prior notice, without any cure period, and without the intervention of any court or other authority, by the mere fact of such breach. TribeBlend shall therefore be entitled to terminate this LA immediately, as of right, if:
(A) the Customer fails to pay any subscription fees or other amounts due under this LA when due, including where payment fails on two (2) consecutive occasions in the case of Recurring Payments;
(B) the Customer uses the TribeBlend Software in breach of license restrictions, use limitations, or prohibited conduct;
(C) TribeBlend reasonably determines that the Customer’s account, or any use associated with it, is unauthorized, unlawful, or fraudulent; or
(D) any information provided by the Customer to TribeBlend in connection with the Customer’s account is materially incomplete, inaccurate, legally invalid, or cannot be verified;
(E) any essential obligation as defined under this LA.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the breaches listed above are sufficiently serious to justify termination as of right, without prior notice and without any other prior formality.
The parties agree that any breach by Licensee of its essential obligations under this LA shall cause substantial harm to Licensor that may be difficult to quantify precisely. Licensee shall pay Licensor a contractual penalty of no less than EUR 50,000 for each such breach, payable upon Licensor’s first written demand, without prejudice to Licensor’s right to seek and recover higher damages to the extent Licensor proves that its actual loss exceeds such amount.
24.3 Termination for other breaches
TribeBlend may terminate this LA and the associated subscription without the intervention of any court or other authority if the Customer materially breaches any obligation under this LA other than the essential obligations set out above and fails to remedy such breach within 5 (five) days after written notice.
24.4 Termination for legal or business reasons
TribeBlend may also terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if it is required to do so by applicable law or by a binding decision, order, or request of a competent authority, or if the provision of the TribeBlend Software to the Customer is, or becomes, unlawful.
TribeBlend may also terminate this Agreement if it discontinues the TribeBlend Software, in whole or in part. In such case, unless otherwise required by applicable law, termination shall take effect from the date specified by TribeBlend.
24.5 Effects of termination
Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Customer shall immediately cease all use of the TribeBlend Software and shall delete or uninstall the TribeBlend Software and all of its component parts, including any related documentation.
Termination shall not affect any rights or remedies accrued prior to the effective date of termination, including TribeBlend’s right to recover any amounts due and payable up to that date.
All fees paid prior to the effective date of termination are non-refundable, with the sole exception set out in Section 4.
Any provisions which by their nature are intended to survive termination, including those relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitations of liability, accrued payment obligations, governing law, and dispute resolution, shall survive termination of this LA.
25. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT
