5. CUSTOMER CONTENT, OUTPUTS, AND CUSTOMER FINE-TUNING

5.1 Customer Content

You retain all rights to any content, data, text, images, files, or other materials that you upload, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Service ("Customer Content"). Customer Content does not include Usage Data or Feedback (as each is defined below).

5.2 License to Customer Content; No M87 Labs Training Use

(a) License. You grant M87 Labs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (solely as set forth below) license to host, reproduce, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use Customer Content solely as necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and support the Service for you, including to generate Outputs and to provide any Customer-initiated fine-tuning features described in Section 5.4. M87 Labs may sublicense the foregoing rights only to its affiliates and subprocessors that are performing services on M87 Labs' behalf, and only to the extent necessary for them to provide the Service, provided they are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations at least as protective as those in these Terms.

(b) No Training Use by M87 Labs. For purposes of these Terms, "Train" means to train, fine-tune, distill, perform reinforcement learning (including RLHF/RLAIF or similar methods), or otherwise modify or improve model parameters/weights. M87 Labs will not use Customer Content or Outputs to Train any model or adapter that is made generally available by M87 Labs (including the base Moondream models), or to Train any model or adapter for the benefit of any third party, except where you explicitly opt in under a separate written agreement.

(c) Retention. M87 Labs will not retain Customer Content longer than necessary to provide the Service to you or to comply with its legal obligations.

5.3 Service Outputs

As between you and M87 Labs, you own all rights to the outputs generated by the Service based on the Customer Content ("Outputs"). Outputs, once generated, shall be deemed Customer Content for the purposes of these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, given the nature of the Service, you acknowledge that:

  • Outputs may not be unique across users and the Service may generate the same or similar output for another user under similar terms; and
  • M87 Labs does not represent or warrant that the Outputs are protectible by any intellectual property rights under applicable law.

However, M87 Labs retains all rights in and to the Service (including any underlying Moondream models) and any improvements thereto, including those improvements made based on Feedback and Usage Data.

5.4 Customer-Initiated Fine-Tuning / Reinforcement Learning (Optional Features)

If the Service includes features that allow you to fine-tune, perform reinforcement learning, or otherwise customize Moondream for your use (including via LoRA or other adapter techniques) (the "Fine-Tuning Features"), then the following applies:

  • (a) Customer Fine-Tuning Data. You may submit Customer Content, Outputs, and/or other data such as labels, rankings, preferences, evaluation sets, or other training signals in connection with the Fine-Tuning Features (collectively, "Customer Fine-Tuning Data"). Customer Fine-Tuning Data will be treated as Customer Content under these Terms.
  • (b) Customer Adapters. The Fine-Tuning Features may produce customized artifacts such as adapter weights, LoRA weights, checkpoints, or similar outputs (collectively, "Customer Adapters"). Customer Adapters will be treated as Customer Content under these Terms.
  • (c) Limited Purpose. You instruct M87 Labs to process Customer Fine-Tuning Data solely to Train, evaluate, host, and operate Customer Adapters for your use as part of providing the Service. M87 Labs will not use Customer Fine-Tuning Data or Customer Adapters to Train any model or adapter that is made generally available by M87 Labs (including the base Moondream models), or to Train any model or adapter for the benefit of any other customer or third party, except where you explicitly opt in under a separate written agreement.
  • (d) Ownership. As between you and M87 Labs, you own all right, title, and interest in Customer Adapters. To the extent M87 Labs may have any right, title or interest in Customer Adapters, M87 Labs hereby assigns (and will cause its personnel to assign) such right, title and interest to you. For clarity, M87 Labs retains all rights in and to the Service and the underlying base Moondream models and infrastructure, and no rights in the Service are transferred to you by virtue of any Customer Adapter.
  • (e) Access. Customer Adapters and Customer Fine-Tuning Data will be accessible only to you and your authorized users within the Service, subject to the Service's functionality and your account permissions.
  • (f) Retention/Deletion. M87 Labs will retain Customer Fine-Tuning Data and Customer Adapters only as long as necessary to provide the Fine-Tuning Features (or as otherwise configured by you in the Service) and will delete them within a commercially reasonable time after you delete them through the Service or request deletion, subject to legal obligations and routine backup/archiving practices.

5.5 Responsibility for Customer Content

You are solely responsible for the Customer Content and the consequences of uploading, publishing, or otherwise making the Customer Content available through the Service. You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to use and authorize M87 Labs to use the Customer Content as necessary to provide the Service;
  • the Customer Content does not and will not violate these Terms or any applicable law or regulation;
  • the Customer Content does not infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property right or other proprietary right, including the right of publicity or privacy, of any person or entity;
  • the Customer Content is not unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another's privacy, tortious, obscene, pornographic, offensive, or profane; and
  • the Customer Content does not contain any sensitive personal information, whether related to yourself or to other individuals, including financial, medical, or health data, government IDs, passport numbers, social security numbers, other government identifiers or data regarding children.

5.6 Content Monitoring

M87 Labs reserves the right, but does not assume the obligation, to monitor or review the Customer Content. We may remove or disable access to any Customer Content that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable.

5.7 Data Protection Laws

You agree to comply with all applicable data protection and privacy laws, including without limitation the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), when using the Service. You agree that you are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary consents and providing all necessary notices to data subjects whose data you upload or process using the Service.
