Beta features are provided for evaluation only and should not be used in production, safety-critical, regulated, commercial, or customer-facing deployments unless expressly authorized in a signed written agreement. Perceptron may terminate beta access at any time.
18. Copyright Notices, Takedowns, and Repeat Infringers
We respect intellectual property rights and may remove or disable access to material alleged to infringe copyrights or other rights. If you believe material available through the Services infringes your rights, send a notice to:
Copyright Agent, Perceptron AI Labs Inc.
Email: support@perceptronai.org
Address: [Insert registered mailing address before publication]
Your notice should include enough information for us to locate the material, including source URLs, project IDs, dataset IDs, screenshots, or other identifiers; identification of the work or right allegedly infringed; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law; a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act; and your physical or electronic signature.
We may remove, disable, restrict, block, or preserve material in response to notices, counter-notices, legal process, rights-holder requests, privacy requests, source restrictions, or our policies. We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers or users who repeatedly submit unlawful or rights-violating material. To preserve potential DMCA safe-harbor protections where available, Perceptron should publish current designated-agent information and maintain any required registration with the U.S. Copyright Office or other applicable authority.
19. Public Source Opt-Out and Removal Requests
Rights holders, website owners, creators, or authorized representatives may request that Perceptron remove specific material from active Services or exclude specific domains, URLs, works, or content from future public-source collection where technically feasible. Send requests to support@perceptronai.org with information sufficient to identify the content or source and verify your authority.
We do not guarantee removal from Datasets, Outputs, model artifacts, exports, caches, backups, logs, or copies already downloaded, exported, published, trained on, or controlled by users or third parties. We may decline or limit requests that are incomplete, unverifiable, abusive, technically infeasible, legally unsupported, or inconsistent with our obligations.
20. Confidentiality
If either party receives non-public information from the other that is marked confidential or should reasonably be understood as confidential, the receiving party will use reasonable care to protect it and will use it only for purposes related to the Services. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, already known without restriction, independently developed, or lawfully received from a third party. Public Source Content and information made public by you are not confidential.
21. Security, Availability, and Backups
22. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services, accounts, projects, Datasets, APIs, exports, or features at any time if we believe that: you violated these Terms; your use creates legal, security, privacy, safety, rights, operational, reputational, or financial risk; your account is compromised; you failed to pay fees; your use exceeds limits; continued service is prohibited or impractical; a source, rights holder, regulator, court, or third party requests or requires action; or suspension is necessary to protect Perceptron, users, sources, or the public.
You may stop using the Services at any time. Termination does not relieve you of payment obligations, indemnity obligations, liability for prior acts, or obligations that by their nature should survive. Sections concerning rights, ownership, improvement rights, public source content, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, confidentiality, and miscellaneous terms survive termination.
23. Data Retention and Deletion
We may retain Customer Content, Public Source Content, Inputs, Outputs, Datasets, logs, account information, billing records, usage data, telemetry, metadata, security records, and support records as needed to provide, protect, improve, train, evaluate, and support the Services; comply with law; resolve disputes; enforce agreements; prevent abuse; maintain backups; and exercise rights granted under these Terms.
Deletion requests will be handled according to our Privacy Policy, applicable law, technical limitations, retention schedules, and any signed written agreement. We may be unable to delete materials that have been exported, downloaded, shared, published, cached, backed up, logged, incorporated into derived data, used for model training or evaluation, or controlled by users or third parties, except where required by applicable law.
24. Feedback and Product Suggestions
If you provide comments, ideas, suggestions, bug reports, requests, benchmarking results, product feedback, or other feedback, you grant Perceptron a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid-up right to use, copy, disclose, modify, commercialize, and exploit that feedback without restriction, attribution, approval, or compensation. Perceptron may use feedback to develop, improve, train, evaluate, market, and commercialize the Services and Perceptron Technology.
