Accepting the agreement, or downloading, accessing, using, or distributing any model or model derivative, means you agree to it. Materials such as inference code may have separate licenses. If you accept for an entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity. ## 1. Definitions - **Distribution / Distribute:** Sharing, publishing, transmitting, making available, or providing the model or a derivative to a third party. This includes an API, web access, another hosted service, or incorporating the model into a product or service. - **Model:** The machine-learning model, software, algorithms, trained weights, parameters, and documentation designated under the agreement. The designated model is **Ideogram 4**. - **Model Derivative:** A modification or fine-tuned version; a model created by transferring the model's weights, parameters, or patterns so that it performs similarly; or another derivative. Output is not a Model Derivative. - **Non-Commercial Purposes:** Use that does not directly or indirectly generate revenue or pursue commercial advantage or monetary compensation; internal testing, evaluation, or R&D by a for-profit entity in a non-production environment; personal research, experimentation, testing, entertainment, or hobby use; or charitable use by a charitable organization. Commercial training, fine-tuning, or distillation, and output used in or to promote revenue-generating products or services, are excluded. - **Output:** Content generated by inference in response to a user input or prompt. Output does not include model components such as weights, parameters, or fine-tuned models. ## 2. Grant of rights We permit you to use, reproduce, copy, distribute, modify, and create derivative works of Ideogram 4, including Model Derivatives, **only for Non-Commercial Purposes** and subject to this agreement. Other purposes require a separate agreement that we may or may not grant. ## 3. Redistribution and use You may reproduce or distribute the model or a Model Derivative only if you: 1. Apply terms no less restrictive than this agreement, including the same non-commercial standard and at least the same use restrictions. 2. Give every third-party recipient a copy of this agreement. 3. Include the following attribution in a `Notice` text file accompanying every distributed copy: ```text Ideogram 4 is provided under and subject to the Ideogram Non-Commercial Model Agreement available at https://github.com/ideogram-oss/ideogram4/model_licenses/LICENSE-IDEOGRAM-4-NON-COMMERCIAL. All rights reserved. Copyright © Ideogram, Inc. ``` 4. Put prominent notices on modified files stating that you modified them. 5. Include warranty disclaimers and liability limitations at least as protective of us as those in this agreement. 6. Do not misrepresent a derivative as our official product or imply that we endorsed, approved, or validated it. ## 4. Use restrictions Use must comply with applicable laws and regulations, including trade-compliance laws, and with our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://ideogram.ai/legal/usage-policy/), incorporated into this agreement. Do not use the model or a Model Derivative: - For military purposes or surveillance, including related research or development. - For biometric processing. - To infringe, misappropriate, or violate another party's legal rights, including publicity rights. - To generate unlawful content, including child sexual abuse material or non-consensual intimate images. - In violation of privacy or data-protection laws. - For automated decisions affecting material or individual rights or well-being, including finance, legal, employment, healthcare, housing, insurance, or social welfare; to influence a legally consequential decision; or in another high-risk use case. You are responsible for appropriate safety measures, including content filters and human oversight, and for legally required disclosures or provenance measures identifying output generated or modified with AI. We may implement filters, content protections, watermarking, or other measures. You must not circumvent, remove, alter, deactivate, degrade, or thwart them. Where required by law, output must include an AI-generation or modification disclosure. ## 5. Disclaimer of warranty Unless applicable law requires otherwise, the model, Model Derivatives, output, and results are provided **“AS IS”** without express or implied warranties, including title, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. You decide whether use is appropriate and assume the risks of using, reproducing, modifying, performing, displaying, or distributing them. The model and derivatives are not designed or intended for high-risk use cases or high-risk AI systems; such use violates this agreement and is at your own risk. ## 6. Limitation of liability To the fullest extent described in the agreement, we and our affiliates are not liable under contract, tort, negligence, products liability, or another theory for direct, indirect, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, even if advised of the possibility. ## 7. Intellectual property We reserve rights not expressly granted. The agreement does not grant rights to use our trademarks, trade names, or logos, except as required for the attribution above. We retain ownership of the model and derivatives made by or for us. For derivatives you make, you own incremental rights beyond our rights in the underlying model or our derivatives. We claim no rights in output you generate, but you are responsible for output and subsequent use. You may not use output to develop, train, fine-tune, or distill a model, product, or service competitive with Ideogram 4 or any of our other products or services. ## 8. Indemnification You will indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your use, access, hosting, or distribution of the model, derivatives, or output, or from your breach of the agreement. ## 9. Term and termination The agreement continues until terminated. We may terminate it at any time on notice or for your breach. If you bring litigation or another proceeding alleging that the model, a derivative, output, or part of any of them infringes intellectual-property or other rights owned or licensable by you, all licenses terminate when the claim is filed or instituted. On termination, you must delete and stop using or distributing the model and every Model Derivative. Sections 5–10 survive termination. ## 10. General New York law governs the agreement without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. An unlawful or unenforceable provision is severed without affecting the remainder. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. The agreement creates no third-party beneficiary rights, is the entire agreement on its subject, and supersedes prior understandings. You may not assign or transfer it without our prior written consent; an unauthorized assignment is void. We may modify the agreement and update its “Last Updated” date. Changes take effect when posted or on a later stated date, and continued access or use after that date constitutes acceptance. --- [Read this page’s summary](https://ideogram.ai/agents/api/public/v1/page-tldr?url=https%3A%2F%2Fideogram.ai%2Flegal%2Fnon-commercial-model-agreement%2F&trace=t_380edc68d53d) ## Ask a follow-up about this page Need a more specific answer?
