# ALPHAFOLD 3 MODEL PARAMETERS PROHIBITED USE POLICY
|
||||
|
||||
Last Modified: 2024-11-09
|
||||
|
||||
AlphaFold 3 can help you accelerate scientific research by predicting the 3D
|
||||
structure of biological molecules. Google makes the AlphaFold Assets available
|
||||
free of charge for certain non-commercial uses in accordance with the
|
||||
restrictions set out below. This policy uses the same defined terms as the
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_TERMS_OF_USE.md).
|
||||
|
||||
**You must not access or use nor allow others to access or use the the AlphaFold
|
||||
3 Assets:**
|
||||
|
||||
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 the AlphaFold 3 Assets for
|
||||
their non-commercial activities. The AlphaFold 3 Assets are not
|
||||
available for 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 the AlphaFold 3 Assets for your
|
||||
non-commercial affiliated research.
|
||||
|
||||
3. You must not share the AlphaFold 3 Assets with any commercial
|
||||
organization or use the AlphaFold 3 Assets in a manner that will grant a
|
||||
commercial organization any rights in these. The only exception is
|
||||
making Output publicly available (including indirectly to commercial
|
||||
organizations) via a scientific publication or open source release or
|
||||
using it to support journalism, each of which is permitted.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **To misinform, misrepresent or mislead**, including:
|
||||
|
||||
1. providing false or inaccurate information in relation to your access to
|
||||
or use of AlphaFold 3 or Output, including accessing or using the Model
|
||||
Parameters on behalf of an organization without telling us or submitting
|
||||
a request to access the Model Parameters where Google has prohibited
|
||||
your use of AlphaFold 3 in full or in part (including as made available
|
||||
via [AlphaFold Server](https://alphafoldserver.com/about));
|
||||
|
||||
2. misrepresenting your relationship with us, including by using Google’s
|
||||
trademarks, trade names, logos or suggesting endorsement by Google
|
||||
without Google’s permission to do so - nothing in the Terms grants such
|
||||
permission;
|
||||
|
||||
3. misrepresenting the origin of AlphaFold 3 in full or in part;
|
||||
|
||||
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. to make 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, including Output, 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, or intentionally causing (directly or
|
||||
indirectly) AlphaFold 3 to act in a manner that contravenes the Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
**You must not nor allow others to:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use Output to train or create machine learning models or related
|
||||
technology for biomolecular structure prediction similar to AlphaFold 3
|
||||
("Derived Models"),** including via distillation or other methods. For the
|
||||
avoidance of doubt, the use restrictions set out in the Terms would apply in
|
||||
full to any Derived Models created in breach of the Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Distribute Output without providing conspicuous notice that what you
|
||||
Distribute is provided under and subject to the
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Output Terms of Use](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/OUTPUT_TERMS_OF_USE.md)
|
||||
and of any modifications you make.**
|
||||
|
||||
1. This means if you remove, or cause to be removed (for example by using
|
||||
third-party software), the notices and terms we provide when you
|
||||
generate Output using AlphaFold 3, you must ensure any further
|
||||
Distribution of Output 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
|
||||
following notice:
|
||||
|
||||
"*By using this information, you agree to AlphaFold 3 Output Terms of
|
||||
Use found at
|
||||
https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/OUTPUT_TERMS_OF_USE.md.*
|
||||
|
||||
*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).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **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.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Circumvent access restrictions relating to the Model Parameters, including
|
||||
utilising, sharing or making available the Model Parameters when you have
|
||||
not been expressly authorized to do so by Google.** Google will grant access
|
||||
to the Model Parameters to either:
|
||||
|
||||
1. you for your individual use on behalf of your organization, in which
|
||||
case you cannot share your copy of Model Parameters with anyone else; or
|
||||
|
||||
2. an authorized representative of your organization, with full legal
|
||||
authority to bind that organization to these Terms in which case you may
|
||||
share that organization’s copy of the Model Parameters with employees,
|
||||
consultants, contractors and agents of the organization as authorized by
|
||||
that representative.
