| i. operating the Model or Derivative Models as a paid or revenue-generating |
| service (including API or cloud-hosted services); |

| 4. Patent Grant |
|
|
| Each contributor grants You a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, |
| irrevocable patent license, except as stated in this section, to make, have made, |
| use, and otherwise transfer the Model solely for Non-Commercial Use, where the |
| license applies only to those patent claims licensable by that contributor that |
| are necessarily infringed by that contributor's contribution alone or in |
| combination with the Model. If You institute patent litigation alleging that the |
| Model or a contribution constitutes patent infringement, patent licenses granted |
| to You under this license terminate as of the filing date. |
|
|
| 5. Conditions on Redistribution and Share-Alike |
|
|
| If You distribute the Model or a Derivative Model, You must: |
|
|
| a. provide recipients a copy of this license; |
| b. retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices; |
| c. state clearly that You modified the Model and document material modifications; |
| d. Share-Alike Requirement: license and distribute any Derivative Model solely |
| under this exact Modilify Non-Commercial Model License 1.0, without imposing |
| any additional restrictions or granting any broader rights than those provided |
| herein; and |
| e. publish with the distributed model a reasonably accessible impact statement |
| (such as within a public model card or repository documentation) describing |
| intended uses, material limitations, evaluation scope, known safety risks, |
| and risk mitigations for the Derivative Model. |
|
|
| The impact statement may be maintained in a public model card or equivalent |
| document. You are not required to submit it separately to Modilify. |
|
|
| 6. Responsible Use and High-Risk Uses |
|
|
| You must not use the Model or a Derivative Model: |
|
|
| a. to develop, operate, or materially facilitate weapons, autonomous targeting, |
| or systems intended to cause physical harm; |
| b. for unlawful mass surveillance, biometric identification without lawful |
| authority and appropriate safeguards, or social scoring that determines |
| access to rights or essential services; |
| c. to exploit children or vulnerable persons, facilitate human trafficking, or |
| generate non-consensual intimate content; |
| d. to impersonate a person or deceptively represent machine output as an |
| authentic human communication where the deception is reasonably likely to |
| cause material harm; or |
| e. to make a final decision in a High-Risk Use without meaningful qualified |
| human review, proportionate testing, monitoring, appeal or correction paths, |
| and compliance with applicable law. |
|
|
| Before deploying the Model in a High-Risk Use, You must perform safety and impact |
| due diligence proportionate to foreseeable harm. At minimum, document the use |
| context, evaluate relevant failure modes and affected groups, apply reasonable |
| technical and organizational safeguards, monitor material incidents, and update |
| or suspend the deployment when its residual risk is not reasonable. Research, |
| testing, auditing, and defensive safety work are permitted when conducted with |
| appropriate safeguards. |
|
|
| 7. Trademarks |
|
|
| This license does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, |
| service marks, or product names of Modilify or any contributor, except as needed |
| for reasonable and customary attribution or to describe the origin of the Model. |

| 8. Third-Party Components |
|
|
| If the Model incorporates or links to any third-party components or libraries, |
| those components remain subject to their respective applicable licenses and |
| terms. |
|
|
| 9. Termination and Reinstatement |
|
|
| Your rights terminate automatically if You materially violate this license and |
| do not cure the violation within 30 days after becoming aware of it. Rights are |
| reinstated upon timely cure unless a rights holder provides written notice of a |
| substantially similar repeated violation. Sections intended by their nature to |
| survive termination remain effective. |
|
|
