Leap Motion SDK Agreement

A note on our SDK Agreement
To help avoid uncertainty about our licensing terms, please note we have a two-tier license structure for distribution of applications or technology developed with or that use our SDK:

1. Applications that do not fall under the definition of “Specialized Application” may be distributed by you under the SDK Agreement without requiring a separate license from us.

2. Applications that are “Specialized Applications” may only be distributed under a separate license from us. Please contact us at partnerships@leapmotion.com if you wish to distribute a Specialized Application.

Basically, a Specialized Application means a Leap Motion-enabled Application which is: (i) priced at more than US$500 (or $240/year if on a subscription or similar basis, including without limitation the cumulative value of any Leap Motion-enabled Application lent, leased, let or hired); (ii) for use with a system, machine or device (other than a PC, mobile phone or VR/AR headset), priced at more than US$500 (or $240/year if on a subscription or similar basis); (iii) used for or designed for use with industrial, military, commercial or medical equipment or computer aided design; or (iv) the development of any other commercial product or service other than the Leap Motion-enabled Application itself where the annual revenue in aggregate for the product or service exceeds $50,000.

Also, please note that our SDK is for use only with Leap Motion hardware and software, and you may not use the SDK to develop or evaluate competing hand tracking technology.
We’ve prepared an FAQ, available here, with discussion of key terms of our SDK Agreement. The FAQ and this note are qualified by the terms of the agreement, which you should review carefully. If you have any questions after reviewing the FAQs, this note and the SDK Agreement, please contact us at developers@leapmotion.com.
