Terms of Service

In these terms: "Origina", "we", "us", and "our" mean the operator of the platform at www.origina.cloud. "You" means the individual or organization using it. "Asset" means a dataset, model, agent, or other item registered on the platform. "Licensor" is the organization that owns an asset; "Licensee" is an organization that holds a licence to use it.

"Licence" means the specific, recorded grant of usage rights over an asset between two organizations. "Trust Report" means our evidence-based score for an asset. "Testbed" means our benchmarking of an agent against real tasks. "Gateway" means the access-checked delivery path through which files are served and agents are proxied. "Usage Event" means a single recorded consumption of an asset.

"Tokens" (or "Origina Tokens") means prepaid platform credit. "Machine Identity" means a non-human credential issued to authenticate automated access. "Platform Fee" means the percentage we retain from amounts owed to a Licensor. Capitalised terms not defined here have the meaning given where they first appear.

Origina is a platform for licensing AI assets (datasets, models, and agents) between organizations. We provide the infrastructure that records ownership, issues licences, meters usage, computes royalties, and routes payments between parties.

We are an intermediary. We do not create, own, verify the accuracy of, or take editorial responsibility for the assets listed by users, except where this agreement says otherwise. A Trust Report or Testbed score reflects checks we performed; it is evidence, not a warranty.

Because we are an intermediary, most disputes about what an asset is or does are, in substance, between a Licensor and a Licensee. We give both sides evidence and an auditable record; we are not the arbiter of the underlying bargain.

You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter contracts. If you register for a company or other entity, you confirm you are authorized to bind it to these terms, and "you" then means that entity.

You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current. You must keep your credentials secure and are responsible for all activity under your account and under any API key or Machine Identity issued from it, whether or not you authorized that activity.

You must notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for loss arising from your failure to keep credentials secure.

Assets, licences, and balances belong to organizations, not to individuals. Whoever creates an organization is its initial owner and may invite others and assign roles (owner, admin, member).

An organization owner is responsible for the conduct of its members within that organization, for the roles it grants, and for removing access when a member leaves. Acts and omissions of a member within an organization are treated as acts of the organization for the purposes of these terms.

A single person may belong to more than one organization. Access is always checked against the specific organization; membership of one organization does not grant any rights in another.

You retain all ownership of assets you upload or register. You grant Origina only the limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence necessary to operate the platform: to store your asset, display its listing and metadata, run integrity and verification checks, generate a Trust Report, and deliver it to parties you have actually licensed it to. This licence ends when you remove the asset, except to the extent we must retain material to meet a legal obligation or to serve licences already granted.

You represent and warrant that you hold all rights necessary to list and license each asset, including rights in any underlying training data, model weights, prompts, or third-party components, and that doing so does not infringe anyone else's rights or breach any agreement you are bound by.

This matters more for AI assets than for ordinary files, and we want it stated plainly: if a dataset contains personal data, copyrighted works, or material you scraped without permission, listing it here does not make that lawful, and you remain responsible for it. Where a dataset contains personal data, our Data Processing Agreement governs how we handle it on your behalf.

You are responsible for the accuracy of every listing: its description, metadata, declared rights, and licence terms. Misdescribing an asset, including overstating its capabilities or provenance, is a breach of these terms.

Verification, Trust Reports, and security scanning (including detection of secrets and personal data in uploaded files) are checks we run to gather evidence. They are deliberately not a warranty, a certification, or legal advice, and a high score does not transfer responsibility for the asset to us.

We may decline to list, may de-list, or may reject an upload, for example, one containing a live credential, where we reasonably consider it unlawful, unsafe, or in breach of these terms.

As between you and us, Origina owns the platform itself, its software, design, Trust Engine, Testbed methodology, documentation, and trademarks. Nothing in these terms transfers any of that to you; you receive only the right to use the platform under these terms.

You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the platform, except to the limited extent that mandatory law permits and cannot be excluded.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free right to use them without obligation to you. This does not give us any right in your Assets, which are covered by Section 5.

When a Licensee acquires a licence to your asset, the resulting agreement is between you and them. Origina generates and records the licence, meters usage against it, enforces it, and processes payment, but is not itself a party to it and gives no warranty on either party's behalf.

Licence terms, including permitted use, exclusivity, and duration, are as recorded in the licence at the time it was granted. A licence is requested and approved, not bought silently: the Licensor approves or declines each request.

Revoking or letting a licence expire stops future access; it does not retroactively undo use that already lawfully occurred under it, and it does not by itself entitle either party to a refund of amounts already earned.

Where an asset is an Agent, Licensees do not receive your endpoint URL or credentials. Calls are proxied through our Gateway so that access can be metered and your credentials are never disclosed. Where an asset is a file, it is delivered through the Gateway under a licence check, typically as a short-lived signed link.

If you register an Agent, you are responsible for the availability, safety, and lawfulness of what your endpoint returns. We may suspend an Agent that is unavailable, unsafe, or being used to deliver unlawful output.

Trial calls, Testbed runs, and health checks are real calls to your endpoint made by the platform on a Licensee's behalf or to verify your listing. You authorize us to make them.

You may access the platform programmatically through our API using API keys or Machine Identities issued to your organization. A raw key or secret is shown once and never stored by us in a recoverable form; keeping it safe is your responsibility.

You are responsible for everything done with a credential you issue until you revoke it, and for revoking credentials that are no longer needed or may be compromised.

We may set and change rate limits and technical restrictions to protect the platform. Webhooks we deliver to a URL you configure are sent on a best-effort basis with retries; you are responsible for the security of the endpoint you point them at.

Usage is metered per event at platform rates published in-product. Rates are set at the platform level and are not individually negotiable per licence, so that the same activity is valued consistently across the marketplace.

A Platform Fee is deducted from amounts owed to a Licensor; the remainder is credited to the Licensor for payout. The current default Platform Fee is disclosed in-product. We may change published rates and the Platform Fee prospectively; changes do not alter amounts already earned or statements already issued.

All amounts are exclusive of taxes unless stated. Prices shown are in the currency indicated in-product.

Origina Tokens are prepaid credit denominated at a published rate, usable only within the platform to settle amounts owed. Your Token balance is the running total of a ledger we maintain.

Tokens are not currency, not a deposit, not transferable between organizations, not redeemable for cash except as expressly stated in our Refund Policy or as required by law, and carry no interest. Conversions between money and Tokens are rounded as described in-product.

We may expire dormant balances only where the law allows and after reasonable notice; we will not expire Tokens merely to avoid a genuine obligation to refund them.

Amounts earned by a Licensor are computed from recorded Usage Events and set out in royalty statements that cite the specific events behind them. A statement becomes a binding obligation when it is issued after review.

Payouts are made to a payout account you configure, through third-party payment providers, subject to their requirements and to any verification we reasonably require. We may withhold or reverse a payout while a genuine dispute, suspected fraud, or a chargeback is being resolved.

You are responsible for providing accurate payout details. We are not liable for payouts delayed or misdirected because of information you provided.

You are responsible for determining and paying any taxes arising from your use of the platform, including any tax on amounts you earn as a Licensor, except for taxes on our own net income.

You may not: list assets you lack the rights to; upload malware, credentials, or deliberately harmful content; attempt to circumvent metering, licensing, or the Gateway; scrape or bulk-extract platform data; probe, load-test, or attack our infrastructure; misrepresent an asset; or use the platform to build a directly competing marketplace.

You may not use assets licensed through the platform outside the scope of the licence you actually hold. Metered access does not become unmetered because you found another route to it.

You may not use the platform to infringe intellectual property or privacy rights, to develop unlawful capabilities, or in any way that violates applicable law.

If you believe an asset listed on the platform infringes your copyright or other rights, contact hello@origina.cloud with enough detail to identify the asset and your rights, and a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is not authorized.

We may remove or disable access to material that is the subject of a credible complaint, and we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

The platform relies on third parties, hosting, storage, payment processing, email delivery, and model or identity providers. Their availability and acts are outside our control, and your use of a feature that depends on them may also be subject to their terms.

Where you connect the platform to your own third-party service (for example, an agent endpoint you host), you are responsible for that service and for the consequences of connecting it.

We may offer features marked as beta, preview, or experimental. These are provided for evaluation, may change or be withdrawn at any time, may be less reliable, and are excluded from any service commitment or warranty to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We may suspend or terminate an account or a specific listing that breaches these terms, that we reasonably believe is being used unlawfully or is causing harm, or where required by law. Where practical and lawful, we will tell you why, and where the breach is curable we will generally give you a chance to cure it.

You may close your account at any time. On termination your right to use the platform ends, but the following survive: amounts genuinely owed to or by you; licences already granted to third parties, which continue on their existing terms; and the sections of these terms that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5-7, 11-14, and 20-30).

We maintain audit and legal-acceptance records after closure as evidence of what happened and what was agreed.

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that any asset is accurate, lawful, fit for a particular purpose, free of bias, secure, or non-infringing; that any agent will be available or perform as described; or that the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. Verification, Trust Reports, and Testbed scores are checks we performed, not guarantees.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill, however caused.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability to you arising out of or relating to these terms or the platform is limited to the fees you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

You will defend and indemnify Origina against third-party claims and the resulting losses to the extent they arise from your breach of these terms, from an asset you listed, or from your use of the platform in violation of law or another person's rights.

Each time you list, license, or acquire an asset, you warrant that: you have the rights and authority to do so; your listing is accurate; you will comply with the licence terms that apply to you; and your use of the platform complies with applicable law, including data-protection and export law.

You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the platform on behalf of anyone located in, a country or by a person subject to applicable sanctions, and that you will not export or make assets available in breach of applicable export-control or sanctions law.

Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages of third-party infrastructure, network failures, acts of government, or natural events. Payment obligations already incurred are not excused, but performance is suspended for the duration of the event.

We may update these terms. Material changes will be notified in advance, and continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Where a change materially reduces your rights, we will ask you to accept the new version explicitly.

Each version is recorded separately, and we retain a record of which version you accepted and when. We never edit a published version in place, so what you accepted and what you can go back and read cannot drift apart.

You may not assign these terms without our consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable provision is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

These terms, together with any document they incorporate (such as the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and, where executed, a Data Processing Agreement or Master Services Agreement), are the entire agreement between us about the platform and supersede prior discussions.

We may give you notice by email, through the platform, or by posting in-product. You may give us notice at hello@origina.cloud.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact hello@origina.cloud so we can try to resolve the matter directly; most issues can be settled that way.
