# ALPHAFOLD 3 MODEL PARAMETERS TERMS OF USE
|
||||
|
||||
Last Modified: 2024-11-09
|
||||
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3](https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-deepmind-isomorphic-alphafold-3-ai-model/)
|
||||
is an AI model developed by [Google DeepMind](https://deepmind.google/) and
|
||||
[Isomorphic Labs](https://www.isomorphiclabs.com/). It generates 3D structure
|
||||
predictions of biological molecules, providing model confidence for the
|
||||
structure predictions. We make the trained model parameters and output generated
|
||||
using those available free of charge for certain non-commercial uses, in
|
||||
accordance with these terms of use and the
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Prohibited Use Policy](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_PROHIBITED_USE_POLICY.md).
|
||||
|
||||
**Key things to know when using the AlphaFold 3 model parameters and output**
|
||||
|
||||
1. The AlphaFold 3 model parameters and output are **only** available for
|
||||
non-commercial use by, or on behalf of, non-commercial organizations
|
||||
(*i.e.*, universities, non-profit organizations and research institutes,
|
||||
educational, journalism and government bodies). 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,**
|
||||
this means you can use these for your non-commercial affiliated research.
|
||||
2. You **must not** use nor allow others to use:
|
||||
1. AlphaFold 3 model parameters or output in connection with **any
|

and Google may act on your feedback without obligation to you.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Use Restrictions
|
||||
|
||||
You must not use any of the AlphaFold 3 Assets:
|
||||
|
||||
1. for the restricted uses set forth in the
|
||||
[AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Prohibited Use Policy](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_PROHIBITED_USE_POLICY.md);
|
||||
or
|
||||
2. in violation of applicable laws and regulations.
|
||||
|
||||
To the maximum extent permitted by law and without limiting any of our other
|
||||
rights, Google reserves the right to revoke your right to use, and (to the
|
||||
extent feasible) restrict usage of any of the AlphaFold 3 Assets that Google
|
||||
reasonably believes is in violation of these Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Generated Output
|
||||
|
||||
Although you must comply with these Terms when using the AlphaFold 3 Assets, we
|
||||
will not claim ownership in original Output you generate using AlphaFold 3.
|
||||
However, you acknowledge that AlphaFold 3 may generate the same or similar
|
||||
Output for multiple users, including Google, and we reserve all our rights in
|
||||
this respect.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Changes to the AlphaFold 3 Assets or these Terms
|
||||
|
||||
Google may add or remove functionalities or features of the AlphaFold 3 Assets
|
||||
at any time and may stop offering access to the AlphaFold 3 Assets altogether.
|
||||
|
||||
Google may update these Terms and the access mechanism for the Model Parameters
|
||||
at any time. We'll post any modifications to the Terms
|
||||
[in the AlphaFold 3 GitHub repository](https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3).
|
||||
Changes will generally become effective 14 days after they are posted. However,
|
||||
changes addressing functionality or made for legal reasons will be effective
|
||||
immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
You should review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the AlphaFold 3
|
||||
Assets. If you do not agree to any modifications to the Terms, you must stop
|
||||
using the AlphaFold 3 Assets immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Suspending or terminating your right to use the AlphaFold 3 Assets
|
||||
|
||||
Google may at any time suspend or terminate your right to use and, as applicable
|
||||
access to, the AlphaFold 3 Assets because of, among other reasons, your failure
|
||||
to fully comply with the Terms. If Google suspends or terminates your right to
|
||||
access or use the AlphaFold 3 Assets, you must immediately delete and cease use
|
||||
and Distribution of all copies of the AlphaFold 3 Assets in your possession or
|
||||
control and are prohibited from using the AlphaFold 3 Assets, including by
|
||||
submitting an application to use the Model Parameters. Google will endeavour to
|
||||
give you reasonable notice prior to any such suspension or termination, but no
|
||||
notice or prior warning will be given if the suspension or termination is for
|
||||
your failure to fully comply with the Terms or other serious grounds.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, you are always free to stop using the AlphaFold 3 Assets. If you do
|
||||
stop using these, we would appreciate knowing why (via
|
||||
[alphafold@google.com](mailto:alphafold@google.com)) so that we can continue to
|
||||
improve our technologies.
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Confidentiality
|
||||
|
||||
You agree not to disclose or make available Google Confidential Information to
|
||||
anyone without our prior written consent. "**Google Confidential Information**"
|
||||
means (a) the AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters and all software, technology and
|
||||
documentation relating to AlphaFold 3, except for the AlphaFold 3 source code,
|
||||
and (b) any other information made available by Google that is marked
|
||||
confidential or would normally be considered confidential under the
|
||||
circumstances in which it is presented. Google Confidential Information does not
|
||||
include (a) information that you already knew prior to your access to, or use
|
||||
of, the AlphaFold 3 Assets (including via
|
||||
[AlphaFold Server](https://alphafoldserver.com/about)), (b) that becomes public
|
||||
through no fault of yours (for example, your breach of the Terms), (c) that was
|
||||
independently developed by you without reference to Google Confidential
|
||||
Information, or (d) that was lawfully given to you by a third party (without
|
||||
your or their breach of the Terms).
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Disclaimers
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing in the Terms restricts any rights that cannot be restricted under
|
||||
applicable law or limits Google's responsibilities except as allowed by
|
||||
applicable law.
|
||||
|
||||
**AlphaFold 3 and 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 AlphaFold 3, or using or distributing Output, and
|
||||
assume any and all risks associated with such use or distribution 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 AlphaFold 3.**
|
||||
|
||||
**AlphaFold 3 and Outputs are for theoretical modeling only. They are not
|
||||
intended, validated, or approved for clinical use. You should not use AlphaFold
|
||||
3 or Output for clinical purposes or rely on them for medical or other
|
||||
professional advice. Any content regarding those topics is provided for
|
||||
informational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified
|
||||
professional.**
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. 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 the AlphaFold 3 Assets or violation of the
|
||||
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 do not apply to you under
|
||||
the Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
In no circumstances will Google be responsible for any indirect, special,
|
||||
incidental, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages, or lost profits of
|
||||
any kind in connection with the Terms or the AlphaFold 3 Assets, 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 the Terms or the
|
||||
AlphaFold 3 Assets, including for its own negligence, is limited to $500.
|
||||
|
||||
## 10. Miscellaneous
|
||||
|
||||
By law, you have certain rights that cannot be limited by a contract like the
|
||||
Terms. The Terms are in no way intended to restrict those rights.
|
||||
|
||||
The Terms are our entire agreement relating to your use of the AlphaFold 3
|
||||
Assets and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject.
|
||||
|
||||
If it turns out that a particular provision of the Terms is not enforceable, the
|
||||
balance of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.
|
||||
|
||||
## 11. Disputes
|
||||
|
||||
California law will govern all disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms
|
||||
or in connection to the AlphaFold 3 Assets. These disputes will be resolved
|
||||
exclusively in the federal or state courts of Santa Clara County, California,
|
||||
USA and you and Google consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. To the
|
||||
extent that applicable local law prevents certain disputes from being resolved
|
||||
in a California court, you and Google can file those disputes in your local
|
||||
courts. If applicable local law prevents your local court from applying
|
||||
California law to resolve these disputes, then these disputes will be governed
|
||||
by the applicable local laws of your country, state, or other place of
|
||||
residence. If you are using the AlphaFold 3 Assets on behalf of a government
|
||||
organization other than US federal government organizations (where the foregoing
|
||||
provisions shall apply to the extent permitted by federal law), these Terms will
|
||||
be silent regarding governing law and courts.
|
||||
|
||||
Given the nature of scientific research, it may take some time for any breach of
|
||||
the Terms to become apparent. To protect you, Google and the AlphaFold 3 Assets,
|
||||
to the extent allowed by applicable law you agree that:
|
||||
|
||||
1. any legal claims relating to the Terms or the AlphaFold 3 Assets can be
|
||||
initiated until the later of:
|
||||
1. the cut-off date under applicable law for bringing the legal claim; or
|
||||
2. 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; and
|
||||
2. 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
|
||||
Google.
|
||||
|
||||
All rights not specifically and expressly granted to you by the 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 the Terms and Google
|
||||
expressly reserves any and all rights and remedies available under the Terms or
|
||||
at law or in equity or otherwise, including the remedy of injunctive relief
|
||||
against any threatened or actual breach of the Terms without the necessity of
|
||||
proving actual damages.
