# ALPHAFOLD 3 OUTPUT TERMS OF USE
|
||||
|
||||
Last Modified: 2024-11-09
|
||||
|
||||
By using AlphaFold 3 Output (as defined below), without having agreed to
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_TERMS_OF_USE.md),
|
||||
you agree to be bound by these AlphaFold 3 Output Terms of Use between you (or
|
||||
your organization, as applicable) and Google LLC (these "**Terms**").
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Output on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are
|
||||
authorized either explicitly or implicitly to agree to, and are agreeing to,
|
||||
these Terms as an employee on behalf of, or otherwise on behalf of, your
|
||||
organization.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have agreed to
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_TERMS_OF_USE.md),
|
||||
your use of Output are governed by those terms. **If you have not agreed to
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_TERMS_OF_USE.md)
|
||||
and do not agree to these Terms, do not use Output or permit any third party to
|
||||
do so on your behalf.**
|
||||
|
||||
When we say "**you**", we mean the individual or organization using Output. When
|
||||
we say "**we**", "**us**" or "**Google**", we mean the entities that belong to
|
||||
the Google group of companies, which means Google LLC and its affiliates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Definitions
|
||||
|
||||
As used in these Terms:
|
||||
|
||||
"**AlphaFold 3**" means the AlphaFold 3 Code and Model Parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
"**AlphaFold 3 Code**" means the AlphaFold 3 source code: (a) identified at
|
||||
[public GitHub repo](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/), or such
|
||||
other location in which we may make it available from time to time, regardless
|
||||
of the source that it was obtained from; and (b) made available by Google to
|
||||
organizations for their use in accordance with the
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_TERMS_OF_USE.md)
|
||||
(not these Terms) together with (i) modifications to that code, (ii) works based
|
||||
on that code, or (iii) other code or machine learning model which incorporates,
|
||||
in full or in part, that code.
|
||||
|
||||
"**Model Parameters**" means the trained model weights and parameters made
|
||||
available by Google to organizations (at its sole discretion) for their use in
|
||||
accordance with the
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_TERMS_OF_USE.md)
|
||||
(not these Terms), together with (a) modifications to those weights and
|
||||
parameters, (b) works based on those weights and parameters, or (c) other code
|
||||
or machine learning model which incorporates, in full or in part, those weights
|
||||
and parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
"**Output**" means the structure predictions and all related information
|
||||
provided by AlphaFold 3, together with any visual representations, computational
|
||||
predictions, descriptions, modifications, copies, or adaptations that are
|
||||
substantially derived from Output.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use restrictions
|
||||
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3](https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-deepmind-isomorphic-alphafold-3-ai-model/)
|
||||
belongs to us. Output are made available free of charge, for non-commercial use
|
||||
only, in accordance with the following use restrictions. You must not use nor
|
||||
allow others to use Output:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **On behalf of a commercial organization or in connection with any
|
||||
commercial activities, including research on behalf of commercial
|
||||
organizations.**
|
||||
|
||||
1. This means that only non-commercial organizations (*i.e.*, universities,
|
||||
non-profit organizations and research institutes, educational,
|
||||
journalism and government bodies) may use Output for their
|
||||
non-commercial activities. Output are not available for use by any other
|
||||
types of organization, even if conducting non-commercial work.
|
||||
|
||||
2. If you are a researcher affiliated with a non-commercial organization,
|
||||
provided **you are not a commercial organisation or acting on behalf of
|
||||
a commercial organisation**, you can use Output for your non-commercial
|
||||
affiliated research.
|
||||
|
||||
3. You must not share Output with any commercial organization. The only
|
||||
exception is making Output publicly available (including, indirectly, to
|
||||
commercial organizations) via a scientific publication or open source
|
||||
release or using these to support journalism, each of which are
|
||||
permitted.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **To misinform, misrepresent or mislead**, including:
|
||||
|
||||
1. providing false or inaccurate information in relation to your access to
|
||||
or use of Output;
|
||||
|
||||
2. misrepresenting your relationship with Google - including by using
|
||||
Google’s trademarks, trade names, logos or suggesting endorsement by
|
||||
Google without Google’s permission to do so - nothing in these Terms
|
||||
grants such permission;
|
||||
|
||||
3. misrepresenting the origin of Output;
|
||||
|
||||
4. distributing misleading claims of expertise or capability, or engaging
|
||||
in the unauthorized or unlicensed practice of any profession,
|
||||
particularly in sensitive areas (*e.g.*, health); or
|
||||
|
||||
5. making decisions in domains that affect material or individual rights or
|
||||
well-being (*e.g.*, healthcare).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **To perform, promote or facilitate dangerous, illegal or malicious
|
||||
activities**, including:
|
||||
|
||||
1. promoting or facilitating the sale of, or providing instructions for
|
||||
synthesizing or accessing, illegal substances, goods or services;
|
||||
|
||||
2. abusing, harming, interfering, or disrupting any services, including
|
||||
generating or distributing content for deceptive or fraudulent
|
||||
activities or malware;
|
||||
|
||||
3. generating or distributing any content that infringes, misappropriates,
|
||||
or otherwise violates any individual’s or entity’s rights (including,
|
||||
but not limited to rights in copyrighted content); or
|
||||
|
||||
4. attempting to circumvent these Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **To train or create machine learning models or related technology for
|
||||
biomolecular structure prediction similar to AlphaFold 3 as made available
|
||||
by Google ("Derived Models"),** including via distillation or other
|
||||
methods**.** For the avoidance of doubt, the use restrictions set out in
|
||||
these Terms would apply in full to any Derived Models created in breach of
|
||||
these Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Without providing conspicuous notice that published or distributed Output
|
||||
is provided under and subject to these Terms and of any modifications you
|
||||
make to Output.**
|
||||
|
||||
1. This means if you remove, or cause to be removed (for example by using
|
||||
third-party software), these Terms, or any notice of these Terms, from
|
||||
Output, you must ensure further distribution or publication is
|
||||
accompanied by a copy of the
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Output Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/OUTPUT_TERMS_OF_USE.md)
|
||||
and a "*Legally Binding Terms of Use*" text file that contains the

|
||||
|
||||
*To request access to the AlphaFold 3 model parameters, follow the
|
||||
process set out at https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3. You
|
||||
may only use these if received directly from Google. Use is subject to
|
||||
terms of use available at
|
||||
https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_TERMS_OF_USE.md.*"
|
||||
|
||||
2. You must not include any additional or different terms that conflict
|
||||
with the
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Output Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/OUTPUT_TERMS_OF_USE.md).
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Distribute Output, or disclose findings arising from using AlphaFold 3
|
||||
without citing our paper:** [Abramson, J et al. Accurate structure

||||
prediction of biomolecular interactions with AlphaFold 3. *Nature*
|
||||
(2024)](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07487-w). For the
|
||||
avoidance of doubt, this is an additional requirement to the notice
|
||||
requirements set out above.
|
||||
|
||||
We grant you a non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable, non-transferable and
|
||||
non-sublicensable (except as expressly permitted in these Terms) license to any
|
||||
intellectual property rights we have in Output to the extent necessary for these
|
||||
purposes. You agree that your right to use and share Output is subject to your
|
||||
compliance with these Terms. If you breach these Terms, Google reserves the
|
||||
right to request that you delete and cease use or sharing of Output in your
|
||||
possession or control and prohibit you from using the AlphaFold 3 Assets
|
||||
(including as made available via
|
||||
[AlphaFold Server](https://alphafoldserver.com/about)). You agree to immediately
|
||||
comply with any such request.
|
||||
|
||||
## Disclaimers
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing in these Terms restricts any rights that cannot be restricted under
|
||||
applicable law or limits Google’s responsibilities except as allowed by
|
||||
applicable law.
|
||||
|
||||
**Output are provided on an "as is" basis, without warranties or conditions of
|
||||
any kind, either express or implied, including any warranties or conditions of
|
||||
title, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
|
||||
You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or
|
||||
distributing any of the Output and assume any and all risks associated with your
|
||||
use or distribution of any Output and your exercise of rights and obligations
|
||||
under these Terms. You and anyone you share Output with are solely responsible
|
||||
for these and their subsequent uses.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Output are predictions with varying levels of confidence and should be
|
||||
interpreted carefully. Use discretion before relying on, publishing, downloading
|
||||
or otherwise using Output.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Output are for theoretical modeling only. These are not intended, validated,
|
||||
or approved for clinical use. You should not use these for clinical purposes or
|
||||

|
||||
those topics is provided for informational purposes only and is not a substitute
|
||||
for advice from a qualified professional.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Liabilities
|
||||
|
||||
To the extent allowed by applicable law, you will indemnify Google and its
|
||||
directors, officers, employees, and contractors for any third-party legal
|
||||
proceedings (including actions by government authorities) arising out of or
|
||||
relating to your unlawful use of Output or violation of these Terms. This
|
||||
indemnity covers any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages,
|
||||
judgments, fines, litigation costs, and legal fees, except to the extent a
|
||||
liability or expense is caused by Google's breach, negligence, or willful
|
||||
misconduct. If you are legally exempt from certain responsibilities, including
|
||||
indemnification, then those responsibilities don’t apply to you under these
|
||||
terms.
|
||||
|
||||
In no circumstances will Google be responsible for any indirect, special,
|
||||
incidental, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages, or lost profits of
|
||||
any kind, even if Google has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
||||
Google’s total, aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or in
|
||||
connection with these Terms or Output, including for its own negligence, is
|
||||
limited to $500.
|
||||
|
||||
## Governing law and disputes
|
||||
|
||||
These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California. The state
|
||||
or federal courts of Santa Clara County, California shall have exclusive
|
||||
jurisdiction of any dispute arising out of these Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
Given the nature of scientific research, it may take some time for any breach of
|
||||
these Terms to become apparent. To the extent allowed by applicable law, any
|
||||
legal claims relating to these Terms or Output can be initiated until the later
|
||||
of (a) the cut-off date under applicable law for bringing the legal claim; or
|
||||
(b) two years from the date you or Google (as applicable) became aware, or
|
||||
should reasonably have become aware, of the facts giving rise to that claim. You
|
||||
will not argue limitation, time bar, delay, waiver or the like in an attempt to
|
||||
bar an action filed within that time period, and neither will we.
|
||||
|
||||
All rights not specifically and expressly granted to you by these Terms are
|
||||
reserved to Google. No delay, act or omission by Google in exercising any right
|
||||
or remedy will be deemed a waiver of any breach of these Terms and Google
|
||||
expressly reserves any and all rights and remedies available under these Terms
|
||||
or at law or in equity or otherwise, including the remedy of injunctive relief
|
||||
against any threatened or actual breach of these Terms without the necessity of
|
||||
proving actual damages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Miscellaneous
|
||||
|
||||
Google may update these Terms (1) to reflect changes in how it does business,
|
||||
(2) for legal, regulatory or security reasons, or (3) to prevent abuse or harm.
|
||||
The version of these Terms that were effective on the date the relevant Output
|
||||
was generated will apply to your use of that Output.
|
||||
|
||||
If it turns out that a particular provision of these Terms is not valid or
|
||||
enforceable, this will not affect any other provisions.
