Ownership is a product feature — written down, and enforceable.
The Ownership Covenant

You own what we build for you.

Most AI companies rent you access to a platform. Solace becomes your technology department — and the technology department's output belongs to the company that paid for it. This page states, in plain terms, what is yours, what stays ours, and exactly what you take with you if you ever leave.


You own

  • Your original data and any customer-specific enrichment of it
  • Customer-specific code written for your business
  • Custom applications (web, mobile, kiosk)
  • Your workflows and their definitions
  • Your tenant canon, prompts, and configurations
  • Generated deliverables and content
  • Your evidence trail and audit history
  • Documentation for everything above

Solace owns

  • The generic runtime that executes workers
  • The orchestration framework
  • Shared libraries and generic connectors
  • The WorldData platform itself
  • General Software 5.0 machinery
  • Improvements that are not specific to your business

You get a license to run what depends on these — you don't get billed for rebuilding the generic engine, and we don't claim what's specific to you.

If you ever leave

Exit & portability

The test of ownership is what happens on the way out. On exit, you receive:

  • Your repository
  • A full data export
  • Your workflow definitions
  • Documentation
  • Your complete evidence history
  • Infrastructure definition files, where applicable
  • A transition package
  • The rights you need to keep running your customer-specific software

No hostage data. No "export is an enterprise add-on." The department was yours while we ran it, and it stays yours after.

Why we do this

Rented intelligence isn't leverage.

If the moment you stop paying, everything you built evaporates, you never had a technology department — you had a subscription. Solace's model only works if the software we build compounds into an asset you own. That's the whole point of Software 5.0: your recurring AI work becomes deterministic code that belongs to you and gets cheaper over time.

This covenant is reflected in your Solace agreement. Where this page and the signed Terms differ, the signed Terms govern — and we align the Terms to this covenant, not the other way around.
