# Snipler Use Grant

Version 1 · Status: approved by the owner, counsel review pending · Updated 2026-11-11

> **Not legal advice.** This is the grant under which a device fetches and runs the Glass Snipler's software. Pop Boll's owner approved version 1 on 11 November 2026. Counsel has not reviewed it yet, and a later version may change the wording. The words it borrows are defined in the [Bollawax Device Licence](https://popboll.com/device-licence).

The Glass Snipler's software is not part of the Bollawax image your device shipped with. It is a
separate set of files, the **Snipler Layer**, that a device fetches. This grant says who may fetch
it and run it. You do not need to ask, register or pay.

---

**1. Words.** *Pop Boll*, *Image*, *Genuine Image*, *Compatible Device* and the *Service* mean what
they mean in the Bollawax Device Licence. The *Snipler Layer* is the set of files Pop Boll
publishes through the Service as the Snipler layer for a version of Bollawax, and every copy of
them on a device.

**2. What you may do, free of charge.** If you own or lawfully use a Compatible Device that runs a
Genuine Image, you may let that device fetch the Snipler Layer from the Service, with that
device's own access to the Service, and run it on that device together with the Genuine Image it
was published for. The device may keep the Layer, and may fetch a newer one when its Image is
updated.

**3. What this does not grant.** You may not copy the Snipler Layer off the device, or give, sell
or publish it to anyone, except that it travels with the device when you sell or give away the
device itself. You may not modify it or make anything derived from it. You may not run it anywhere
but on the device that fetched it. You may not fetch it for a device that is not a Compatible
Device running a Genuine Image, or with access that is not that device's own. You may not reverse
engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except to the extent the law gives you that right and does
not let a licence take it away. This grant gives you no right in any name or logo; the
[trademark policy](https://popboll.com/trademarks) covers the names.

**4. All other rights are reserved.** The Snipler Layer is Pop Boll's, all rights reserved. The
Bollawax Device Licence does not cover it: this grant does. The Apache-2.0 licence of the Bollard
SDK covers the SDK and does not reach the Snipler Layer, even where the Layer is used through the
SDK or answers to an interface the SDK describes. Corpora, songs and other material reached
through the Snipler stay under their own licences.

**5. How long.** Until ended. This grant ends for you when the Bollawax Device Licence ends for
you, and by itself if you break §3. A device that already holds the Layer keeps working offline
with what it holds; it may lose access to the Service.

**6. The Service, warranty and liability, and law** are as in the Bollawax Device Licence (its
§5, §7 and §9).
