# AI / Machine Learning Training Policy

**HYPERI PTY LIMITED (ABN 31 622 581 748)**

This policy applies to all software, source code, documentation, and
associated materials ("Materials") in repositories owned by HYPERI PTY
LIMITED and its related entities (collectively "HyperI").

## A separate instrument

**These AI terms are a separate instrument. They are referenced by, but are
NOT incorporated into, and are NOT a condition of, the grant under the
Business Source License 1.1 (the "License") in the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file.**
The License text contains no AI or machine-learning terms. This policy stands
alongside the License and the Affiliate Annexure.

## No AI Training

**The Materials in this repository are NOT approved for use in AI or machine
learning training.**

## Prohibited Uses

Without the prior written consent of HYPERI PTY LIMITED, you may NOT use the
Materials for:

- **Model training** -- Direct training of machine learning models, large
  language models, or artificial intelligence systems on any part of the
  Materials
- **Fine-tuning** -- Fine-tuning or transfer learning using the Materials as
  input data
- **Dataset inclusion** -- Including the Materials in any dataset, corpus, or
  data pipeline used for training or improving machine learning algorithms
- **RAG / retrieval systems** -- Indexing or retrieving from the Materials in
  retrieval-augmented generation systems or similar architectures
- **Data mining** -- Automated extraction, analysis, or processing of the
  Materials for the purpose of training AI systems
- **AI-assisted reverse engineering** -- Using AI tools to analyse, replicate,
  or reconstruct the functionality of the Materials
- **Natural language processing** -- Using the Materials as input for NLP
  training, benchmarking, or evaluation

## Permitted Uses

The following uses are permitted without additional consent:

- **Search engine indexing** -- Standard web crawlers indexing the Materials
  for search engine results (not AI training)
- **Human reading and review** -- Individuals reading, studying, or reviewing
  the Materials for their own understanding
- **AI-assisted development** -- Using AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot,
  Claude, ChatGPT) to assist with writing code that interacts with or extends
  the Materials, provided the Materials themselves are not used as training
  data for those tools
- **License-governed use** -- Uses permitted by the Business Source License
  1.1 and its Additional Use Grant remain governed by the [LICENSE](LICENSE)
  file. This policy is separate and does not amend, narrow, or condition that
  grant.

## Web Crawlers

This repository includes a `robots.txt` file that blocks known AI training
crawlers while permitting standard search engine indexing. See
[robots.txt](robots.txt) for details.

AI crawlers and scrapers that disregard `robots.txt` directives are
explicitly prohibited from accessing or using the Materials.

## Requesting an Exception

To request permission for AI or machine learning use of the Materials:

**Email**: sales@hyperi.io

Include the following in your request:

- Your organisation name and contact details
- A description of the intended use
- The specific Materials you wish to use
- The AI system or model that would use the Materials
- Whether the use is commercial or non-commercial

## Enforcement

Any person or organisation found to be in violation of this policy may be
subject to legal action and may be held liable for any resulting damages.

This policy is a separate instrument that operates alongside the
[LICENSE](LICENSE) file and the Affiliate Annexure. It is not incorporated into
the License and is not a condition of the grant under the License.

## Severability

These AI terms are a separate instrument. If any provision of this policy is
held invalid, void or unenforceable by a court or tribunal of competent
jurisdiction, that provision is severed to the minimum extent necessary, and
the remainder of this policy, the License, the Additional Use Grant, and any
other Annexure continue in full force and effect. The invalidity of any
provision of this policy does not affect the validity or enforceability of the
License, the Additional Use Grant, or any other Annexure.
