ARCTOS Technology Solutions, LLC is the sole developer and owner of the intellectual property, source code, and technical data rights for the HazX software. The source code and technical data have not been licensed or released to any third-party companies, and there are no authorized resellers or third-party vendors certified to perform maintenance, upgrades, or support services on the software.
