This page sets out the ownership, permitted use and legal notices that govern the text, images, code, models and other material published on Machine Valley properties. It applies to every visitor, client and partner, wherever in the world you are reading it.
Machine Valley is a global artificial-intelligence studio. Because our work spans continents - research in Europe and North America, deployment across Asia, Africa and South America - we take copyright seriously not only as a legal formality but as the foundation of the trust our clients place in us. The same care we apply to a client's data we apply to the intellectual property that appears on these pages.
1. Ownership of content
Unless otherwise stated, all content published on this website - including text, layout, graphics, illustrations, photographs, video, audio, source code, machine-learning model descriptions and the selection and arrangement of these elements - is the property of Machine Valley or its licensors and is protected by copyright, database and related rights under the laws of multiple jurisdictions.
The Machine Valley name, the "Machine Valley" wordmark, our logo, and the names of our products and services are trademarks or registered trademarks of Machine Valley. Nothing on this site should be construed as granting, by implication or otherwise, any licence or right to use any trademark displayed here without our prior written permission.
2. Permitted use
You are welcome to read, share links to, and quote reasonable excerpts of our editorial content for non-commercial purposes, provided that you attribute the material to Machine Valley and link back to the original page. Beyond that, the following activities are not permitted without our written consent:
- Reproducing, republishing or redistributing substantial portions of our content, in any medium;
- Using our content to train, fine-tune or evaluate machine-learning models, whether commercial or academic;
- Systematically scraping or harvesting data from the site by automated means;
- Modifying, translating or creating derivative works from our content; and
- Using our content in a way that suggests endorsement or partnership where none exists.
These restrictions exist for a simple reason: generative systems can reproduce a thousand copies of an idea in seconds, and the disciplines that protect human authorship are what keep a global AI ecosystem worth contributing to.
3. Use of our software and models
Where we make software, notebooks, datasets or model weights available, whether on this site, through a package registry or under a separate agreement, their use is governed by the licence that accompanies them. Open-source components are provided under the terms of their respective licences, and nothing in this notice overrides those terms. Proprietary deliverables produced for a client are governed by the master services agreement between Machine Valley and that client.
4. Third-party material
Some images, fonts, libraries and data referenced on this site are the property of third parties and are used here under licence or applicable legal exceptions. Trademarks and brand names belonging to other companies appear for identification and editorial purposes only, and their appearance does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by Machine Valley. If you believe that third-party material has been used incorrectly, please contact us so we can correct it promptly.
Reporting copyright infringement
If you are a rights holder and believe that material on this site infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to [email protected] including: (a) identification of the protected work; (b) the location of the allegedly infringing material; (c) your contact details; (d) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorised; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the rights holder.
We aim to acknowledge every valid notice within two business days and to act on substantiated claims without undue delay. Counter-notices may be submitted to the same address.
5. Accuracy and no warranty
The content on this site is provided for general information about our company and the field of artificial intelligence. It is provided "as is" and on an "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. AI is a fast-moving field and specific figures, benchmarks or market observations may become outdated; nothing here constitutes professional, legal, financial or investment advice.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Machine Valley and its directors, employees and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or the content on it. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
7. Governing law
These notices and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws applicable at Machine Valley's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence. Where a specific service is governed by a separate written agreement, that agreement prevails over this notice for the matters it covers.
8. Changes to these notices
We may update these notices from time to time to reflect changes in our services, our legal obligations or the way we work. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised notices.
9. Contact
Questions about copyright, licensing or any of the notices above can be sent to [email protected]. For general enquiries, partnerships and press, please visit our contact page. Our handling of personal data is described in our privacy policy, and our use of tracking technologies in our cookie policy.
