Intellectual Property Policy

CUBES

Version: 2.0
Effective Date: 29 July 2026
Last Updated: 29 July 2026

1. Purpose and relationship to the Terms

This Intellectual Property Policy (the "Policy") explains the allocation of intellectual-property rights relating to the CUBES websites, controlled private-beta environment, software-analysis tools, reports, integrations, documentation, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

This Policy forms part of the CUBES Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms of Service. If this Policy conflicts with a signed agreement, order form, or other specifically negotiated document, that document controls for its subject matter.

2. CUBES technology and Platform IP

"Platform IP" means the Service and all technology, materials, and intellectual property used to provide it, including:

• software, source code, object code, architecture, APIs, models, prompts, workflows, templates, taxonomies, methods, and algorithms;
• interfaces, designs, dashboards, reports formats, documentation, and training materials;
• operational data structures, de-identified service metrics, and general technical know-how;
• trademarks, trade names, logos, domains, branding, and visual identity; and
• improvements, modifications, and derivative works of the foregoing.

As between the parties, the Operator and its licensors retain all rights in Platform IP. Except for the limited right to use the Service under the Terms of Service, no ownership right or other license in Platform IP is transferred to the Customer.

The Customer must not claim ownership of Platform IP or register, apply to register, or assist another person to register rights that are confusingly similar to CUBES branding or that improperly appropriate Platform IP.

3. Customer Content

"Customer Content" means repositories, source code, documents, files, configuration, metadata, prompts, instructions, and other materials submitted, uploaded, connected, or made available by or for the Customer.

As between the parties, the Customer retains all rights it holds in Customer Content. CUBES does not acquire ownership of Customer Content merely because it is connected to or processed by the Service.

The Customer represents and warrants that it has the rights, permissions, notices, lawful bases, and authority required to provide Customer Content and instruct CUBES to process it.

Nothing in this Policy changes ownership of material that belongs to another person, including open-source components, licensed libraries, employee or contractor works, third-party documentation, data, or other underlying materials.

4. Limited license to process Customer Content

The Customer grants the Operator and its authorized service providers a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, revocable license to access, copy, transmit, host, cache, analyze, transform, and otherwise process Customer Content only as reasonably necessary to:

• provide requested analyses, reports, and Service functions;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, maintain, and support the Service;
• comply with the Customer's documented instructions and applicable agreements;
• prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, or security threats; and
• comply with law or protect legal rights.

This license does not authorize CUBES to sell Customer Content or use it for unrelated advertising.

Customer Content will not be used to train a general-purpose or shared model unless CUBES has a separate lawful basis, provides appropriate disclosure, and obtains any agreement or authorization required by law or contract.

The license ends when the relevant Customer Content is deleted or the Service relationship ends, subject to technical deletion cycles and limited retention permitted by the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Data Processing Agreement, or law.

5. Outputs

"Outputs" means reports, findings, classifications, summaries, recommendations, generated text, and other results produced by the Service for the Customer.

Subject to the Terms of Service and applicable law, the Customer may use Customer-specific Outputs for its internal business purposes and may share them with professional advisers, personnel, counterparties, or other authorized recipients where appropriate.

No representation is made that every Output is eligible for copyright, database-right, patent, trade-secret, or other intellectual-property protection. The legal status of an Output may depend on applicable law, the degree of human authorship or contribution, and the content from which the Output was derived.

Rights in an Output do not override rights in:

• Customer Content;
• third-party materials;
• open-source software;
• licensed data, libraries, documentation, or models;
• CUBES Platform IP; or
• another person's confidential information or intellectual property.

To the extent an Output contains identifiable Platform IP, the Customer receives only the limited right necessary to use that Output as permitted by the Terms of Service. CUBES retains Platform IP and may continue to use general methods, templates, structures, know-how, and non-customer-specific technology used to generate Outputs.

6. Similar or independently generated Outputs

Because the Service uses automated and AI-assisted processes, different customers may receive similar or identical general findings, descriptions, recommendations, structures, or language.

The Customer does not obtain exclusive rights in general concepts, methods, facts, public information, standard technical language, or material independently generated for another customer without use of the Customer's Confidential Information or Customer Content.

CUBES will not knowingly disclose one Customer's confidential Customer Content to another Customer through an Output.

7. Open-source software and third-party materials

The Service and Customer Content may include or interact with open-source software and third-party materials.

Open-source components remain governed by their applicable licenses. Third-party materials remain subject to the rights, notices, restrictions, and license terms imposed by their owners or licensors.

CUBES does not grant broader rights in open-source software or third-party materials than CUBES itself is legally permitted to grant.

The Customer is responsible for reviewing applicable licenses and notices before copying, modifying, distributing, deploying, or otherwise using third-party or open-source material identified through the Service.

An Output that identifies a possible license, dependency, authorship, or ownership issue is informational and is not a legal opinion or guarantee of compliance.

8. Feedback

The Customer may provide ideas, suggestions, evaluations, error reports, or other feedback concerning the Service ("Feedback").

The Customer grants the Operator a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate Feedback to operate and improve the Service.

This Feedback license does not transfer ownership of Customer Content, Customer Confidential Information, Customer-specific Outputs, trademarks, or other materials merely because they accompany Feedback. CUBES must not publicly identify the Customer as the source of Feedback without permission, except where disclosure is required by law.

9. Usage data and general learning

CUBES may collect and use technical, operational, security, and usage information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service, subject to the Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.

CUBES may use information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it does not identify the Customer or an individual and does not reveal Customer Content or Customer Confidential Information.

Nothing in this section authorizes CUBES to reconstruct, republish, or disclose Customer Content or confidential source code.

10. Trademarks and publicity

No party receives a license to use the other party's names, logos, trademarks, or branding except as expressly agreed in writing or as strictly necessary to identify the parties in private contractual or support communications.

CUBES will not publicly identify the Customer as a customer, beta participant, case study, or reference without prior permission.

The Customer must not imply sponsorship, endorsement, certification, partnership, or approval by CUBES unless expressly authorized in writing.

11. Restrictions concerning Platform IP

Except to the limited extent a restriction is prohibited by applicable law, the Customer must not:

• copy, modify, translate, distribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or commercially exploit the Service itself;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, extract, reconstruct, or attempt to discover source code, models, prompts, system instructions, algorithms, or protected architecture;
• remove, alter, or conceal copyright, trademark, attribution, confidentiality, or proprietary notices;
• bypass usage limits, access controls, tenancy boundaries, or technical safeguards;
• use Platform IP to build or train a competing product or service through unauthorized extraction or replication; or
• use CUBES branding in a misleading or confusing manner.

This section does not restrict rights that applicable law makes mandatory, including any limited right to observe, study, test, or achieve interoperability where the legal conditions for that right are satisfied.

12. Confidentiality and trade secrets

Intellectual-property ownership and confidentiality are separate obligations.

A party may own information that is not confidential, and information may be confidential even where ownership is disputed or held by another person. Each party must protect Confidential Information as required by the Terms of Service and any applicable confidentiality agreement.

The Customer must not submit another person's trade secrets or confidential materials without authorization. CUBES must use Customer Confidential Information only as permitted by the applicable agreements.

13. Intellectual-property notices and claims

A person who believes that content available through the Service infringes its intellectual-property rights should submit a notice through the current Legal Contact published on the CUBES Legal / Contact page.

A notice should identify:

• the claimant and its authority;
• the protected work, mark, database, invention, or other right;
• the allegedly infringing material and its location;
• the legal and factual basis of the claim; and
• contact information for follow-up.

CUBES may request supporting evidence, restrict access to disputed material, notify the affected Customer, preserve relevant records, or take other proportionate action. CUBES does not adjudicate ownership disputes and may require the parties to resolve them through the competent legal process.

Knowingly false or misleading notices may create liability and are prohibited.

14. Suspension and remedies

CUBES may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to address suspected infringement, unauthorized use of Platform IP, exposure of trade secrets, or breach of this Policy.

Where reasonably practicable, CUBES will provide notice and an opportunity to respond or remedy a curable issue. Immediate action may be taken where delay would create material harm or legal risk.

Contractual remedies are cumulative and do not exclude rights or remedies available under applicable law.

15. Changes to this Policy

CUBES may update this Policy to reflect changes in the Service, law, licensing practices, technology, or the controlled private-beta program.

Each published version will identify its version and effective date. Material changes may require notice or affirmative re-acceptance before continued use. Continued use alone does not replace re-acceptance where CUBES expressly requires it.

16. Governing law

This Policy is governed by the law specified in the Terms of Service, subject to mandatory intellectual-property rules and rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

17. Contact

Questions, notices, and intellectual-property claims should be submitted using the current Legal Contact published on the CUBES Legal / Contact page.
