| CUSTOM ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH LICENSE AGREEMENT |
| (RESTRICTED NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY) |
| Effective Year: 2026 |
| ================================================================================ |
|
|
| By accessing, downloading, copying, or otherwise utilizing this dataset (hereinafter referred to as the "Image Moderation Dataset" or the "Dataset"), you (the "Licensee") legally acknowledge, accept, and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this License Agreement (the "Agreement"). If you do not agree to these terms, you are expressly prohibited from accessing or using the Dataset. |
|
|
| 1. SOURCE OF DATA AND INTERNET DISCLAIMER |
| All media, images, and materials contained within this Dataset were programmatically aggregated from open, publicly accessible sources on the internet. The creators, maintainers, and distributors of this Dataset (the "Creators") act solely as data aggregators for research benchmarking purposes. The Creators do not claim copyright ownership of the individual images, did not generate the underlying content, and do not monetize this Dataset. The Dataset is provided utilizing the principles of 'Fair Use' strictly for the designated research applications. |
|
|
| 2. STRICT NON-COMMERCIAL USE RESTRICTION |
| This Agreement grants strictly non-commercial rights. The Licensee is explicitly forbidden from utilizing the Dataset, or any derived artifacts—including but not limited to AI models, neural network weights, embeddings, algorithms, or API services trained directly or indirectly using this data—for any commercial products, platform monetization, subscription services, or any form of direct or indirect financial gain. Any commercial application of the images contained herein requires distinct, explicit written authorization directly from the original respective copyright holders. |
|
|
| 3. PERMISSIVE ACADEMIC, GENERATIVE AI, AND SAFETY RESEARCH USE |
| Subject to the restrictions herein, the Licensee is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to utilize the Dataset strictly for non-profit scientific research. Permissible use cases include the training, fine-tuning, or evaluation of generative AI architectures (e.g., GANs, Diffusion Models, Vision-Language Models) and visual reconstruction models, provided the research objective is strictly confined to: |
| a) Algorithmic testing and architectural evaluation. |
| b) Human anatomical representation studies. |
| c) Academic education and medical science. |
| d) AI safety engineering, including machine unlearning, concept erasure, and defense mechanism development. |
|
|
| 4. PROHIBITION OF MALICIOUS USE, DEEPFAKES, AND WEAPONIZATION |
| While generative experimentation is conditionally permitted under Section 3, the Licensee is strictly prohibited from weaponizing the Dataset or its derived models. Under no circumstances shall the Dataset or its derivatives be utilized to create non-consensual synthetic media (malicious deepfakes), unauthorized face-swapping, synthetic pornography intended for distribution, identity fraud, financial scams, or any digital artifacts that infringe upon individual privacy, human rights, or violate applicable local, national, or international laws. |
|
|
| 5. NO REDISTRIBUTION OR MIRRORING |
| The Licensee is strictly prohibited from re-hosting, mirroring, re-uploading, sublicensing, or redistributing the Dataset source files, archives, or any subset thereof—either in part or in whole—to any alternative public or private platforms, cloud buckets, or peer-to-peer networks. All access and distribution must remain centralized and strictly tethered to this official repository. |
|
|
| 6. TOTAL INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY |
| THE DATASET IS PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE CREATORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; LEGAL DISPUTES; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE, STORAGE, OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DATASET, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. |
|
|
| The Licensee assumes total legal and ethical responsibility for their compliance with local regulations and for any technologies, outputs, or models developed utilizing this data. By utilizing the Dataset, the Licensee agrees to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Creators from any and all claims, damages, or liabilities arising from the Licensee's use of the Dataset. |
