This is a non-comprehensive list of prohibited conduct. User accounts may be restricted, suspended, or disabled for conduct that violates these provisions.

3. Data and Privacy

3.1 Data Ownership: You retain ownership of any content (e.g., AI resources, datasets) you upload, submit, or transmit through the Services (“User Content”). We do not claim ownership of User Content.

3.2 Data Protection: We are committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you. By accessing or using the Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

3.3 GDPR Compliance: By uploading, submitting, or transmitting any content (“User Content”) through the Services, the User confirms that such User Content is collected, processed, and shared in full compliance with all applicable data protection and privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This includes that the User has a valid legal basis to share or process any personal data and that the User Content does not violate any third-party rights and does not require the Platform or its Services to process personal data in a manner that would breach the GDPR or other applicable laws.

The Platform reserves the right to remove or disable access to any User Content that it reasonably believes may violate this clause or applicable data protection laws.

4. Intellectual Property

4.1 Scope of Protection: The Platform and all its content (text, graphics, logos, images, audio, software, etc.) are protected under copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property laws.

4.2 User-Generated Content: Users retain ownership rights to their content (“User Content”). However, by uploading, submitting, or transmitting content, you grant the Platform a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, distribute, modify, and display the content in connection with the Services.

4.3 Licensing models: User content can be shared under a wide variety of different licenses (e.g., GPL, APACHE, LGPL, MIT, COMMERCIAL) or with any other officially approved license model provided as free text. Metadata for uploaded resources is made open under Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC 0) or equivalent (to the extent legitimate interests or constraints are safeguarded), in alignment with FAIR principles.

4.4 IP Compliance: Users confirm that they possess all necessary rights in uploading, submitting, or transmitting content.

4.5 Third-Party Content and Collaborations: The Platform respects the IP rights of third parties. When integrating or using external data, services, or content, agreements will ensure all parties’ IP rights are observed and protected.

4.6 Innovation and IP creation: Innovations (e.g., AI models or datasets) created using the Platform are owned by the Users who develop them. The Platform may hold a license to use such innovations as per this agreement.

5. AI Act Compliance

By uploading or providing any content, data, or instructions to the Services (“User Content”), you confirm that your use of the Services complies with the EU AI Act and other applicable laws. This means you:

  1. Use the Services only for lawful purposes and do not deploy outputs in ways the AI Act prohibits.
  2. Provide accurate and lawful data and do not submit content that would cause the Service to be used for high-risk or restricted uses without the required controls.
  3. Meet any obligations that apply to you under the AI Act, including transparency, human oversight, risk management, or record-keeping requirements when relevant to your use case. Where users access or use AI models for non-personal purposes, they may be considered deployers under the AI Act and should ensure compliance with any additional applicable obligations under that Regulation.
  4. Do not attempt to circumvent safeguards or use the Services to build or operate systems in violation of the AI Act.

The Platform may limit or suspend access to the Services if we believe your use violates these rules.

6. Reporting Illegal Content (DSA Compliance)

The Platform maintains a flagging system that allows anyone to report content they believe is illegal under EU law, including violations of intellectual property rights, data protection rules, the AI Act, or other applicable regulations, such as those relating to hate speech,  discrimination, or fraud, among many others. This flagging system applies to both the Forums and the AI Catalogue. When a report is submitted with the required information, the Platform commits to review it in a timely, diligent, and non-arbitrary manner. If content is confirmed to be illegal, appropriate action will be taken, which may include removal, restriction, or other measures permitted by law. Clear notice of the decision will be provided to the person who submitted the report and, where required, to the User who provided the content.

7. Security

7.1 Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure: We value the security and integrity of our systems and data. If you discover any vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or potential security threats within our systems, we encourage you to report them to us promptly and responsibly. Your cooperation helps us to promptly address any issues and enhance the overall security of our Services.

When reporting a vulnerability, we ask that you provide us with sufficient information to understand the nature and potential impact of the issue, including detailed steps to reproduce the vulnerability, if possible.

We will treat your report confidentially, and we will not share your personal information with third parties without your permission, unless this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation. Reporting can be performed using a pseudonym.

7.2 Third-Party Vulnerabilities: If vulnerabilities are discovered that relate to third-party resources shared on the Platform, but which do not relate to the Platform itself, we encourage you to reach out directly to the entity that shared the resource to notify them of the vulnerability, in accordance with any policies that they may have.
