+
+By using and/or accessing the Licenced Models in any manner, You agree that

+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      “Commercial Entity” means any entity involved in any activity aimed at
+      or intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation,
+      including, but not limited to, the development of a product or
+      service intended to be sold or made available for a fee. For the
+      purpose of this Licence, the term ‘Commercial Entity’ explicitly
+      excludes non-profit organisations, education and research institutes
+      and governmental bodies.
+
+      “Commercial Purpose” means any use of the Licenced Models or Outputs
+      for or on behalf of a Commercial Entity, aimed at or intended to
+      achieve commercial advantage, financial compensation, or to support
+      the development of any product or service that will be sold or made
+      available for a fee.
+
+      “Derivative Work” means any work, whether in source or object form,
+      that is based on, or derived from, the Licenced Models and for which
+      the editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other
+      modifications represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship.
+
+      “Free Server” refers to a server or cloud-based platform that provides
+      free use and/or access to the Licenced Models for use by the public,
+      solely intended for Non-Commercial Purposes.
+
+      “Licenced Models” means the InstaDeep Licenced Models made available
+      to You pursuant to this Licence.
+
+      “Non-Commercial Entity” means any education and research institutes,
+      non-profit organisations,  and governmental bodies that are not
+      engaged in: (a) use of the Licenced Models or Outputs for a
+      Commercial Purpose; or (b) the provision of Outputs as a service.
+
+      “Non-Commercial Purpose” means any use of the Licenced Models or
+      Outputs for or on behalf of a Non-Commercial Entity and uses not

+      compensation, or to support the development of any product or
+      service to be sold or made available for a fee. For the avoidance
+      of doubt, the provision of Outputs as a service is not a
+      Non-Commercial Purpose.
+
+      “Output” means any output that is elicited directly or indirectly by,
+      or otherwise made available to You in connection with Your use of the
+      Licenced Models.
