1. INTRODUCTION
This Master Policy establishes the legal, proprietary, and compliance framework governing all intellectual property (IP), data handling, software assets, and documentation developed or published by CrownThrive, LLC and its ecosystem entities. It supersedes all prior policies, disclaimers, and licensing documents, serving as the definitive legal reference for CrownThrive’s proprietary technologies, including the Compliance Hybrid Licensing and Ownership Model (CHLOM™) and its sub-engines, pallets, frameworks, and governance systems.
CrownThrive’s mission is to develop interoperable, AI-driven, and blockchain-powered solutions that unify compliance, licensing, governance, and digital ownership. The CHLOM™ architecture, alongside associated systems such as DLA (Decentralized Licensing Authority), DAL (Distribution Authority Layer), and LEX (License Exchange), forms the compliance and ownership backbone across all CrownThrive platforms.
This document formalizes rights, responsibilities, and usage terms for contributors, developers, partners, users, and regulators engaging with CrownThrive’s technologies, products, or materials.

Revocation of access credentials or ecosystem privileges.
Civil or criminal legal action under applicable IP laws.
Blockchain-based attestation updates marking the violator’s DID as non-compliant or restricted.
7. LICENSES AND USAGE RIGHTS
CrownThrive licenses its frameworks for personal, commercial, or institutional use under explicit agreement. All licenses include:
Non-transferability: Licenses cannot be reassigned or resold.
Limited Scope: Usage is confined to approved projects or purposes.
