LNB Federal Corporation, a Delaware corporation. These notices apply to the Bellerophon software, including the Bellerophon Evaluation edition and Bellerophon Enterprise (together, the "Software"), and to its documentation. Last updated October 11, 2026 (revision 4: on lnbfederal.com, acceptance of the evaluation notice is remembered in the browser for 30 days).
How to Read These Notices
Each section below states the legal terms first. Where a section is followed by a box marked In plain terms, that box explains what the section means in practice for engineers and program staff. The plain-language explanations are provided for convenience only. They are not part of the terms, and if an explanation differs from the terms, the terms control. Contracting officers and legal counsel should rely on the terms themselves and on the applicable order.
Eligible Customers
LNB Federal Corporation ("LNB Federal") makes the Software available to government departments and agencies, companies, universities, research institutions and other organizations (each an "Eligible Customer"), subject to the Export Control Notice below, which currently limits delivery of Bellerophon Enterprise to Eligible Customers located in the United States. LNB Federal does not provide the Software to any person, country or end use prohibited by U.S. export control or sanctions laws, screens each customer against U.S. restricted party lists before delivery, and may decline to provide the Software to any person at its discretion and in accordance with applicable law. A contractor or consultant may use the Software on behalf of an Eligible Customer that holds a license or, for the Evaluation edition, that has authorized the evaluation.
In plain terms: Bellerophon is available to government agencies and to companies, universities and other organizations. Bellerophon Enterprise is currently delivered only to customers in the United States while its export classification is pending, and every order is checked against U.S. export and sanctions rules before delivery. Contractors can use it for work they are doing for a licensed customer. For questions about eligibility, contact webmaster@lnbfederal.com.
Bellerophon Evaluation Terms
These terms govern the Bellerophon Evaluation edition made available through https://lnbfederal.com (the "Evaluation Edition"). By selecting "I accept," you agree to these terms on behalf of yourself and the organization you represent, and you confirm that you are authorized to accept them for that organization, or that you are evaluating the Software for yourself as an individual. If you do not agree, or if you are not so authorized, select "Decline" and do not use the Evaluation Edition.
1. Evaluation license. LNB Federal grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free license to use the Evaluation Edition solely to assess whether you or your organization will license the Software. The license ends when LNB Federal withdraws the Evaluation Edition.
2. Demonstration content only. The Evaluation Edition contains synthetic demonstration flights and a demonstration parameter dictionary generated by LNB Federal. They do not represent any real aircraft, program, test or flight. The Evaluation Edition stores the demonstration data at reduced resolution, as described in the Evaluation Guide, and cannot open recordings or import parameter dictionaries.
3. No operational use. You may not use the Evaluation Edition, or any result it displays, for flight safety decisions, airworthiness determinations, certification, mission planning or any other operational purpose.
4. Restrictions. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, frame or host the Evaluation Edition for others; remove or alter any notice; use it to build a competing product; or reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.
5. Information you enter. Do not enter classified information, Controlled Unclassified Information, export-controlled technical data or program information into the Evaluation Edition. The Evaluation Edition does not transmit information to LNB Federal.
6. Feedback. If you provide comments or suggestions about the Software, LNB Federal may use them without obligation to you. Do not include classified, controlled or proprietary information in feedback.
7. No warranty. The Evaluation Edition is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement.
8. Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LNB Federal will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, arising from use of the Evaluation Edition, and its total liability arising from the Evaluation Edition will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).
9. Government users. Nothing in these terms obligates appropriated funds, requires a government user to indemnify LNB Federal, or applies to a government user to the extent it is inconsistent with federal law or with the user's national law. If a provision is unenforceable against a government user, the remaining provisions continue to apply.
10. Export. Your use is subject to the Export Control Notice below.
11. Governing law. For U.S. Government users, these terms are governed by the federal law of the United States. For all other users, these terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules, and the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
In plain terms: you may use the Evaluation edition to decide whether your organization wants Bellerophon. It works only with made-up sample flights stored at reduced resolution, so do not use anything it shows for a real flight, safety or certification decision, and do not type real program data into it. Do not copy it, host it elsewhere or take it apart. It comes with no warranty, and LNB Federal's liability for it is capped at $100. Nothing here commits government funds or overrides federal law.
Bellerophon End User License Agreement
This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is between LNB Federal and the Eligible Customer identified in the applicable order, contract, task order, purchase order or other signed ordering document (the "Order") (the "Licensee"). It applies to Bellerophon Enterprise and to any version of the Software delivered under an Order. For U.S. Government licensees, this Agreement is the commercial license under which the Software is offered, and it applies only to the extent consistent with federal law and the Order.
1. Definitions. "Software" means the Bellerophon software in object and script form, including updates delivered under the Order. "Documentation" means the user, administration and security documentation LNB Federal provides for the Software. "Authorized Users" means employees of the Licensee and contractors acting on its behalf whom the Licensee authorizes to use the Software. "Licensee Data" means recordings, dictionaries, decoded data and other information the Licensee processes with the Software.
2. License grant. Subject to this Agreement and payment of the fees in the Order, LNB Federal grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license, for the term, site and quantity stated in the Order, to install the Software on systems the Licensee controls and to permit Authorized Users to use the Software and Documentation for the Licensee's internal business or governmental purposes. The Licensee may make a reasonable number of copies for backup, disaster recovery, testing and security assessment.
3. Restrictions. Except as this Agreement or applicable law expressly permits, the Licensee will not (a) sell, rent, lease, sublicense or distribute the Software to any person who is not an Authorized User; (b) use the Software to provide services to persons other than the Licensee, including as a hosted service or service bureau, unless the Order permits it; (c) modify the Software, except for configuration described in the Documentation; (d) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software; or (e) remove or alter proprietary, export or legal notices. Nothing in this section limits rights the U.S. Government holds by statute or under the Order.
4. Ownership. The Software is licensed, not sold. LNB Federal and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in the Software and Documentation, including all intellectual property rights. The Licensee retains all right, title and interest in Licensee Data.
5. Licensee Data. The Software runs on infrastructure the Licensee controls and does not transmit Licensee Data to LNB Federal. LNB Federal will access Licensee Data only if the Licensee gives access in writing for a support purpose, and will then protect it as the Order and applicable law require.
6. Support and updates. LNB Federal will provide the support, maintenance and updates stated in the Order. Unless the Order states otherwise, support includes correction of reproducible defects and updates released during the paid support term.
7. Limited warranty. LNB Federal warrants that, for ninety (90) days after delivery, the Software will perform substantially as described in the Documentation. The Licensee's exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty, and LNB Federal's sole obligation, is for LNB Federal to correct the nonconformity, replace the Software or, if neither is commercially reasonable, end the license for the nonconforming Software and refund the fees paid for it. The warranty does not apply to nonconformities caused by modification, misuse, or use with hardware, software or data not described in the Documentation.
8. Disclaimer. Except for the express warranty in section 7 and any warranty the Order requires, the Software and Documentation are provided without any other warranty, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. LNB Federal does not warrant that the Software will be error free or that results will be accurate for every recording. The Licensee is responsible for verifying results before relying on them for flight safety, airworthiness or other critical decisions.
9. Limitation of liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither party will be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, and LNB Federal's total liability arising from this Agreement will not exceed the fees paid for the Software in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose. These limits do not apply to LNB Federal's obligations under section 10, to liability for fraud, bodily injury or death caused by negligence, or to any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733.
10. Infringement. LNB Federal will defend the Licensee against third-party claims that the Software, as delivered, infringes a United States patent, copyright or trademark or misappropriates a trade secret, and will pay resulting damages finally awarded or settlements LNB Federal approves. For U.S. Government licensees, the defense of any claim is subject to the authority of the U.S. Department of Justice under 28 U.S.C. § 516, and LNB Federal may participate at its own expense. If the Software is or may become subject to such a claim, LNB Federal may obtain the right for the Licensee to continue using it, modify it to be non-infringing, or end the license and refund the unused prepaid fees.
11. Term and termination. This Agreement lasts for the term stated in the Order. For U.S. Government licensees, termination is governed by the Order and federal law, and disputes are resolved under the Contract Disputes Act, 41 U.S.C. §§ 7101–7109. For other licensees, either party may terminate for the other party's material breach that remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice, unless the Order provides otherwise. When the license ends, the Licensee will stop using the Software and remove it from its systems, except for copies it must keep under law or records retention rules. Licensee Data remains the Licensee's property.
12. Export. Each party will comply with the export control and sanctions laws that apply to it, as described in the Export Control Notice.
13. Governing law. For U.S. Government licensees, this Agreement is governed by the federal law of the United States. For all other licensees, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules, and the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
14. Government terms prevail. For U.S. Government licensees, any term of this Agreement that is inconsistent with federal law or with the Order, including any term that would require the Government to indemnify LNB Federal, renew automatically, pay taxes or fees not stated in the Order, or accept changes to this Agreement it has not signed, is unenforceable against the Government to that extent, consistent with FAR 52.212-4. The Order controls over this Agreement where they conflict.
15. General. This Agreement and the Order are the entire agreement on their subject. A waiver is effective only in writing. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest of the Agreement remains in effect. The Licensee may not assign this Agreement without LNB Federal's written consent, except as federal law permits. LNB Federal may assign it only as permitted by applicable law and the Order, including the novation requirements of FAR Subpart 42.12 for U.S. Government contracts.
In plain terms: your organization's order sets the term, the site and the number of users. Install Bellerophon on systems your organization controls and let your own people and your contractors use it for your own work. Do not resell it, run it as a service for others unless your order allows it, modify its code or take it apart. LNB Federal owns the software; your organization owns its recordings, dictionaries and results, and Bellerophon never sends them to LNB Federal. For 90 days after delivery LNB Federal will fix or replace the software if it does not work as documented. Engineers must still check results against the program's approved data reduction before using them for safety or certification decisions. If anyone claims the software infringes their rights, LNB Federal defends your organization (for a U.S. Government customer, subject to the Department of Justice's authority). For a U.S. Government order, federal law and the order itself always win over this agreement.
U.S. Government Rights
The Software is "commercial computer software" and the Documentation is "commercial computer software documentation," as those terms are used in FAR 2.101 and DFARS 252.227-7014. Under FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202-1 and 227.7202-3, the U.S. Government and its contractors acquire the Software and Documentation only with the rights set out in the Bellerophon End User License Agreement, as modified by the Order. The contractor and manufacturer is LNB Federal Corporation, a Delaware corporation, CAGE 12WN4.
For government customers outside the United States, rights in the Software are those set out in the End User License Agreement and the Order, subject to that nation's procurement law.
In plain terms: Bellerophon was developed at private expense and is sold as a commercial product. A U.S. Government buyer receives the rights in the license agreement and the order, not unlimited or government-purpose rights in the source code.
Export Control Notice
The Software, the Documentation and related technical information may be subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. Parts 730–774), U.S. economic sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (31 C.F.R. Chapter V), and the export laws of other countries. You may not export, re-export or transfer the Software, directly or indirectly, to any country, entity or person, or for any end use, prohibited by those laws, including to any person on the Entity List, the Denied Persons List or the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, or to any country or region subject to a comprehensive U.S. embargo.
LNB Federal reviews every order for export compliance and screens each customer against U.S. restricted party lists before delivery. A request for an official export classification of the Software has been filed with the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, and is pending. Until it is decided, LNB Federal supplies Bellerophon Enterprise only to Eligible Customers located in the United States and does not export, re-export or transfer it outside the United States. Contact webmaster@lnbfederal.com with any export question.
Flight test recordings and parameter dictionaries may themselves contain technical data controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 C.F.R. Parts 120–130) or the Export Administration Regulations. Users are responsible for handling their own data in compliance with those regulations.
In plain terms: do not send Bellerophon to a sanctioned country or a restricted party. Bellerophon Enterprise is currently supplied only to customers in the United States and must not be moved outside the United States, including to an allied country, while its export classification is pending; contact LNB Federal with any export question. Remember that your flight data and parameter lists may be export controlled even when the software is not; handle them under your program's export rules.
Classified Information and Safety of Flight
The Software has not been assessed or authorized for use on any information system under the Risk Management Framework, holds no authority to operate, and is not approved for processing classified national security information. Each Licensee is responsible for obtaining any authorization or security approval it requires before operational use and for operating the Software under its own security controls. The Evaluation Edition must not be used with classified information under any circumstances.
The Software is not a safety-of-flight system. It is not designed or certified for use in aircraft, flight control, real-time range safety or any application in which failure could lead to death, personal injury or severe property damage.
In plain terms: Bellerophon has no ATO yet. Your organization's security authority (for a government agency, its authorizing official) decides whether and where it may run. It is a post-flight analysis tool: never use it to control an aircraft or to make a real-time range safety call.
Data Handling and Privacy
Evaluation Edition. The Evaluation Edition contains only synthetic demonstration data, cannot open or upload files, and does not transmit information to LNB Federal. It uses no cookies, accounts or analytics. Your acceptance of the evaluation notice is remembered in this browser (local storage) for 30 days, then requested again; declining clears it. To display text, the page loads the Lato and IBM Plex Mono fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your network address when the fonts load, under Google's own privacy terms.
Bellerophon Enterprise. The Software runs on infrastructure the Licensee controls. It stores user names, email addresses, hashed passwords, session records, an audit log and Licensee Data on that infrastructure, makes no outbound network connections, and sends no telemetry to LNB Federal.
