ACE-Data-0 RESEARCH LICENSE AGREEMENT
Version 1.0

Copyright (c) 2026 S-Lab, Nanyang Technological University, and ACE Robotics.
All rights reserved.

This Agreement governs access to and use of ACE-Data-0. By requesting access to,
downloading, or using the Dataset, you accept this Agreement and agree to be
bound by it. If you do not accept it, you may not access or use the Dataset.


1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 "Licensors" means S-Lab, Nanyang Technological University and ACE Robotics,
    jointly.

1.2 "Dataset" means ACE-Data-0, including all recordings (video, audio, motion
    capture, tactile), object meshes, calibration and synchronization data,
    annotations, metadata, documentation, and any part or subset thereof, in
    whatever form distributed by the Licensors.

1.3 "You" means the individual natural person who has been granted access to the
    Dataset by the Licensors. This Agreement is entered into by you personally,
    not by your institution.

1.4 "Non-Commercial Academic Research" means research, teaching, and scholarly
    activity conducted without any commercial purpose and without any direct or
    indirect commercial advantage, at or under the supervision of an accredited
    academic or non-profit research institution. Research funded in whole or in
    part by a commercial entity, research conducted with a view to commercial
    exploitation, and any use in or in support of a product, service, or
    internal business process are NOT Non-Commercial Academic Research.

1.5 "Derivative Material" means any model, model weights, feature representation,
    embedding, annotation, statistic, rendering, reconstruction, synthetic data,
    or other output that is produced from, trained on, or derived from the
    Dataset.

1.6 "Participant" means any natural person appearing in, or whose body, hands,
    voice, motion, or contact signals were recorded in, the Dataset.


2. GRANT OF LICENSE

Subject to your continuing compliance with this Agreement, the Licensors grant
you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable,
revocable licence to download, store, reproduce, and modify the Dataset, and to
create Derivative Material, in each case solely for the purpose of Non-Commercial
Academic Research.

No other rights are granted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the
Licensors.


3. RESTRICTIONS

You shall not, and shall not permit or assist any third party to:

3.1 Use the Dataset or any Derivative Material for any commercial purpose,
    including product or service development, evaluation, demonstration,
    benchmarking for commercial claims, or any internal business process of a
    commercial entity.

3.2 Distribute, publish, transmit, sublicense, sell, rent, lend, host, mirror,
    or otherwise make the Dataset available, in whole or in part, to any person
    who has not been granted access individually and directly by the Licensors.
    This includes shared drives, public or private code repositories, torrents,
    model hubs, and inclusion in any other dataset or collection. Every
    collaborator, student, or colleague who requires the Dataset must submit
    their own access request.

3.3 Attempt to identify, contact, locate, track, or infer private attributes of
    any Participant, or to link any Participant to any other data source.

3.4 Use the Dataset or any Derivative Material to develop, train, evaluate, or
    deploy systems for biometric identification, face or gait recognition,
    emotion inference, surveillance, profiling, or any purpose that would
    infringe the privacy, dignity, or fundamental rights of any person.

3.5 Use the Dataset or any Derivative Material in any manner that violates
    applicable law, or in any application intended to cause physical or
    psychological harm.

3.6 Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, attribution, or licence notice
    accompanying the Dataset.

3.7 Circumvent, or assist in circumventing, the access controls applied to the
    Dataset.


4. DERIVATIVE MATERIAL AND PUBLICATION

4.1 You may publicly release Derivative Material, including trained model
    weights, provided that (a) the Derivative Material does not permit
    reconstruction of any substantial portion of the Dataset and does not
    reveal the identity of any Participant; (b) it is released for
    Non-Commercial Academic Research only; and (c) it is accompanied by a
    notice stating that it was derived from ACE-Data-0 under this Agreement.

4.2 You may reproduce a limited number of images or short clips from the Dataset
    in academic papers, theses, posters, and conference presentations for the
    purpose of illustrating your research results, with attribution to
    ACE-Data-0.

4.3 Any publication, preprint, technical report, or public artifact that uses
    the Dataset or any Derivative Material must cite ACE-Data-0 as specified in
    the accompanying dataset card.


5. TERM AND TERMINATION

5.1 This Agreement takes effect when access is granted to you and continues
    until terminated.

5.2 The Licensors may terminate this Agreement and revoke your access at any
    time, with or without cause, and immediately upon any breach by you.

5.3 On termination you must cease all use of the Dataset and delete all copies
    of the Dataset in your possession or control, and confirm this in writing on
    request. Sections 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 survive termination.

5.4 The Licensors may modify or withdraw all or part of the Dataset at any time,
    including at the request of a Participant. Where a Participant withdraws
    consent, you must delete the affected recordings on notice.
