Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as a specific and material condition for the exercise of any rights granted under this license for deployments or distributions in which the *aggregate number of end users* (meaning natural persons who directly interact with the application, whether internally or externally) **exceeds fifty (50)** during any rolling thirty (30) day period, you shall neither remove nor obscure any "Open WebUI" branding, inclusive of, but not limited to, the name, logo, or any visual, textual, or symbolic assets that serve to brand the product or its interfaces.

+5. The branding restriction enumerated in Clause 4 shall not apply in the following limited circumstances: (i) deployments or distributions where the total number of end users (defined as individual natural persons with direct access to the application) does not exceed fifty (50) within any rolling thirty (30) day period; (ii) cases in which the licensee is an official contributor to the codebase—with a substantive code change successfully merged into the main branch of the official codebase maintained by the copyright holder—who has obtained specific prior written permission for branding adjustment from the copyright holder; or (iii) where the licensee has obtained a duly executed enterprise license expressly permitting such modification. For all other cases, any removal or alteration of the "Open WebUI" branding shall constitute a material breach of license.

- a. For deployments or distributions with an aggregate user count of fifty (50) or fewer as defined above, this branding requirement does not apply and licensees retain rights to alter, remove, or replace such branding at their discretion, consistent with the above terms.

- b. Any forks or derivative works created prior to the date on which this clause was first incorporated into this license are hereby exempted and “grandfathered” from this provision; provided, however, that such exemption shall cease to apply immediately upon the merging or incorporation of any subsequent code changes, updates, or modifications from this repository that either add, modify, or otherwise affect the scope or application of this branding clause.

- c. For deployments or distributions not meeting the above user threshold but who wish to exceed such limit while removing or altering "Open WebUI" branding, the following exceptions apply: (i) you must obtain an *enterprise license* from the copyright holder; or (ii) you must be a contributor to the codebase with express written permission from the copyright holder. For purposes of this clause, “contribution” shall mean any substantive code change authored by you that has been successfully merged into the main branch of the official codebase maintained by the copyright holder. Where you are a contributor as thus defined, it shall be presumptively understood—subject at all times to verification at the discretion of the copyright holder—that you may possess the written permission necessary to adjust branding as described herein; however, the ultimate responsibility to directly confirm the existence and scope of such permission with the copyright holder remains solely yours, and no removal or alteration of any branding assets shall occur absent such confirmation. When in doubt as to your eligibility regarding branding modification rights as an enterprise user or contributor, you are encouraged to contact hello@openwebui.com for confirmation and guidance.
