What licence limits and permitted uses should I ask about?

Ask about permitted uses, redistribution, derived models, retention and publication of results; terms are agreed per engagement and generated output carries no guarantee of compliance.

**What are the licence terms?**

This entry does not set terms. Licence terms are agreed per engagement, so ask for them in writing before you load any sample into a training or evaluation pipeline.

**Which questions are worth asking?**

- **Permitted use:** training, evaluation, or both, and whether internal tooling is covered. - **Derived models:** whether models trained on the material can be deployed or sold, and under what conditions. - **Redistribution:** whether you can share the data with contractors, partners or customers. - **Publication:** whether you can publish benchmark results or example episodes. - **Retention:** how long the material may be kept, and what happens at the end of the licence. - **Updates:** whether corrections to the material can be supplied, and how versions are identified.

**What limits apply to the content itself?**

It is generated and synthetic. It is informed by direct observation of how real businesses operate, but it is never real business records. Do not describe it as anonymised or as compliant with any privacy or regulatory regime, because no such guarantee is given.

**What if my legal team needs more?**

Ask for the generation approach and review steps to be described in terms your team can assess, and keep your own record of the grounding and disclosure checks you carry out.

Settle permitted uses and publication rights before building on the material, and treat compliance review as your own responsibility.
