Acceptable Use Policy
Effective Date: [2024-12-04]
This EvolutionaryScale acceptable use policy (“AUP”) sets forth certain terms, conditions and restrictions relating to the access to, and use of, any models, applications, products, services or model weights provided by EvolutionaryScale (collectively, the “Services” or “Models”) by or on behalf of any EvolutionaryScale user (“User”) under EvolutionaryScale’s Terms of Use available at the following link https://evolutionaryscale.ai/terms-of-use, as updated and amended from time to time, or any applicable License Agreement with EvolutionaryScale applicable to the Models (the “Agreement”). The restrictions set forth in this AUP are in addition to those set forth in the Agreement (and in the event of any conflict between any provision of this AUP and any provision of the Agreement, the provision that is more protective of EvolutionaryScale and the Models shall control). Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. This AUP may be updated, modified or amended from time to time by EvolutionaryScale and EvolutionaryScale will use reasonable efforts to provide User with notice of any material changes that may negatively impact User’s use of the Models through the Services, via email or by posting an updated version of this AUP, for example. Any violation of this AUP may result in the suspension or termination of User’s access to and use of the EvolutionaryScale Models.
User will use all Models in accordance with all applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, treaties, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, those related to data privacy, international communications, export compliance and the transmission of technical or personal data). Without limiting the foregoing, User shall not (and shall not permit its authorized users to):
- use the Models and/or any outputs thereof in any manner that violates applicable laws, rules or regulations or is otherwise dangerous, harmful or objectionable as determined by EvolutionaryScale in EvolutionaryScale’s sole discretion;
- attempt to access, search, or create accounts for any of the Models by any means other than EvolutionaryScale’s publicly supported interfaces or as otherwise authorized by EvolutionaryScale;
- impersonate any person or entity or otherwise fraudulently misrepresent your identity;
- interfere with or disrupt (or attempt to interfere with or disrupt) the Models, or gain (or attempt to gain) access to any systems, networks, platforms or services (collectively, “Systems”) that connect to the Models (except as required to appropriately access, deploy, maintain, or use the Models);
- use the Models to violate the security or integrity of, or otherwise abuse, any System of any party (including without limitation the Models), including but not limited to gaining unauthorized access to any System (including attempting to probe, scan, monitor, or test the vulnerability of a System), forging any headers or other parts of any message describing its origin or routing, interfering with the proper functioning of any System (including any deliberate attempt by any means to maliciously overload a System), implementing denial-of-service attacks, operating non-permissioned network services (including open proxies, mail relays or recursive domain name servers), using any means to bypass System usage limitations, or storing, transmitting or installing malicious code;
- use the Models to reverse engineer, disassemble, republish, copy, modify, distribute, transfer, sell, or otherwise grant or permit unauthorized access to the Models or any EvolutionaryScale Systems;
- make excessive use of the bandwidth of the Models in a way that may impact the use of the Models by any other users or customers;
- use any outputs of the models in a manner that does not assess the risk of and screen for potential real-world harm, hazardous biomolecules or other safety and security concerns, and mitigate the impact of any risks discovered.
EvolutionaryScale also reserves the right to intervene, including by suspending or terminating User’s access to and account for the Models at EvolutionaryScale’s election, if this AUP is not upheld.
