## 6. Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Can I use the Academic License for a startup that isn't making money yet?**  
A: No. If your project has any commercial intent, even if not yet revenue-generating, you must purchase a Startup License.

**Q: What counts as "one AI model" under the Startup License?**  
A: One trained model instance. If you retrain the same architecture on new data, it still counts as one model. Training a completely different architecture (e.g., diffusion model vs. GAN) counts as a second model.

**Q: Can I upgrade from Startup to Business later?**  
A: Yes, at any time by paying the difference (€300). Your existing users remain valid.

**Q: What happens to my models if I don't upgrade when I hit 100,000 users?**  
A: You have a 30-day grace period to upgrade. After that, continued use constitutes a breach of license.

**Q: Does the Exclusive License prevent the author from taking new photos of doors?**  
A: No. The author retains the right to create new, original photographs. Exclusivity applies only to this specific dataset of 49 images.

**Q: Can I get a refund?**  
A: Due to the digital nature of the product, all sales are final. Please evaluate the Academic License version before purchasing.
