AI Product Terms / Data Training Terms

Document ID: LOS-LEGAL-012 Title: AI Product Terms / Data Training Terms Version: 1.0 Last updated: 2026-10-24 Publisher: Algoshred Technologies Private Limited (Burdenoff Group) Canonical location: https://burdenoff.com/contracts/labsofscience/LOS-LEGAL-012 Burdenoff Group Contract Registry — root at https://burdenoff.com/contracts (one subgroup per product). The contracts referenced in this document belong to the LabsOfScience subgroup at https://burdenoff.com/contracts/labsofscience/. Every referenced contract is identified by its Document ID (LOS-LEGAL-### / LOS-PRICING-###) and incorporated by reference.

Status: Published v1.0 — effective 2026-10-24. Reviewed against the production platform and approved for publication by the founder (India jurisdiction); outside-counsel review checkpoints are tracked in LOS-LEGAL-REG. Provider: Algoshred Technologies Private Limited Applies to: any use of AI features in the LabsOfScience Service, including AI experiment-run recommendations, AI-drafted protocols, any other AI-drafted content, and any AI assistant made available in the Service.

These AI Terms are incorporated into the MSA. In case of conflict on AI-specific matters, these Terms prevail. LabsOfScience's AI is assistive, not autonomous: it supports human research decisions; it does not make them.

1. Overview of AI features

1.1 The Service includes AI-assisted capabilities to:

  • recommend a next step for an experiment from its recorded runs (replicate, adjust parameters, escalate for human review, or conclude), with the reasoning shown;
  • draft a protocol from a stated research objective and constraints — every AI-drafted protocol is saved as a draft that a researcher must review, and edit where needed, before publishing it.

Every AI run is recorded in an append-only ledger visible to the workspace (feature, provider and model, status, token usage, latency), and AI output is labelled as AI-generated in the product.

1.2 These features are decision-support tools. They produce recommendations, summaries and drafts that a competent human must review before acting on them, in particular before any action affecting an individual or a research conclusion.

2. How AI is provided

2.1 AI features are provided as an embedded capability of the Service. Algoshred selects and operates the underlying AI provider(s) and infrastructure; the AI provider acts as Algoshred's Subprocessor and is listed in DPA Annex 3 (LOS-LEGAL-003C). The provider enabled for the production Service today is Google LLC (Gemini API). Enabling another provider is a Subprocessor change notified under DPA §6.

2.2 Where an Order Form expressly enables a "bring-your-own-key" or customer-selected-provider option, the chosen provider's terms additionally apply to that leg, and Customer is responsible for that provider relationship; absent such an option, Algoshred operates the AI provider relationship.

2.3 AI-assist usage may be metered per the User/Enterprise Pricing Guide.

3. Customer Data and AI

3.1 Inputs to AI features (prompts, research objectives and constraints, experiment, run, protocol and dataset records) and AI outputs (recommendations, summaries, drafts) are Customer Data and are governed by the MSA and DPA.

3.2 Algoshred will not use prompts, completions, experiment records, research records, dataset records or any Customer-side AI content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any generally available machine-learning or large-language model. This applies whether the AI is Algoshred-operated or, where enabled, customer-selected.

3.3 Customer represents that it has the right to submit the inputs to the AI features, including unpublished results, third-party materials and any data subject to confidentiality or third-party agreements, and that it has the lawful basis and any notices/consents required to process researcher Personal Data through AI features.

3.4 Customer should minimise personal data in free-text prompts and must not submit special-category data to AI features.

4. Human-in-the-loop and prohibited automated decisions

4.1 Customer shall keep a human in the loop for any decision that produces a legal or similarly significant effect on an individual — including authorship or credit attribution, access to data or facilities, evaluation of a researcher's performance, or research-engagement classification — and for any research conclusion that will be published, submitted to a regulator or relied on for safety.

4.2 Customer shall not use AI features to make such decisions on a solely-automated basis without meaningful human review and without the consent, notice and rights the DPDP Act / GDPR Article 22 and applicable data-protection law require.

4.3 Customer shall not use AI features for unlawful discrimination, mass surveillance of individuals, social scoring, or to evade data-protection or AI law.

5. Deployer obligations: bias, fairness, transparency

5.1 Where applicable law treats an AI-assisted research tool as an automated-decision tool or high-risk AI — for example the EU AI Act (high-risk AI) and various US state AI laws — Customer is the deployer and is responsible for:

  • conducting or commissioning any required bias / disparate-impact audit;
  • providing any required notice to researchers and other affected individuals that AI is used and how;
  • honouring any opt-out, human-review or explanation rights the law grants individuals;
  • maintaining records of its AI use.

5.2 Algoshred will provide reasonable information about how the relevant AI features function to support Customer's deployer obligations, but Algoshred does not assume the deployer's legal duties.

5.3 AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete or biased and must be reviewed by a competent human before use.

6. Logging and retention

6.1 By default, AI metadata (timestamps, feature, model, token counts, success/failure, IDs) is logged; AI input/output content is stored per Customer's tenant configuration.

6.2 Customer may configure shorter retention via account settings, or request deletion of specific AI content under the DPA.

6.3 For Enterprise Customers, retention windows are stated on the Order Form.

7. Use restrictions specific to AI

In addition to the AUP, Customer shall not (and shall not allow Authorized Users to):

  • use AI features to make automated research decisions with legal or similarly significant effect without human review and required consents/notices (see §4);
  • use AI features to generate content that violates law, infringes third-party rights, or is discriminatory, harassing or deceptive;
  • use AI features for biometric identification, mass surveillance, or social scoring of individuals;
  • generate deepfakes of identifiable individuals without consent, or content designed to defraud or impersonate;
  • attempt to extract Algoshred's system prompts, internal model orchestration logic, or guardrails to evade safety controls or build a competing service;
  • rely on AI outputs without verifying them where accuracy matters (research conclusions, safety-relevant protocol steps, regulatory submissions, compliance).

8. No-warranty for AI outputs

8.1 AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased or offensive. Algoshred makes no warranty as to accuracy, reliability, fairness, originality, or fitness of AI outputs for any purpose, including any research decision.

8.2 Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and using AI outputs and for the research decisions it makes.

8.3 AI outputs may be similar to outputs received by other users; Customer does not have exclusivity over AI-generated content.

8.4 Where Customer publishes AI outputs (e.g., AI-drafted protocols or method write-ups), Customer is responsible for compliance with transparency, labelling and disclosure obligations imposed by law (e.g., EU AI Act transparency requirements, MeitY / IT Rules disclosures applicable in India).

9. Intellectual property in AI outputs

9.1 As between Customer and Algoshred (and subject to any enabled provider's terms), Customer owns the AI outputs generated through its use of the Service, to the extent rights can be granted, and accepts the risk that AI-generated content may not be protected by copyright (uncertain in India / US as of the date of these Terms).

9.2 Algoshred makes no representation or warranty that AI outputs are non-infringing; the IP indemnity in MSA §12.1 does not cover AI outputs.

10. Eligibility

AI features are used by Customer's Authorized Users in a research context. LabsOfScience is an 18+ science & discovery platform; Customer shall not use AI features to evaluate individuals in a manner prohibited by applicable data-protection or AI law.

11. Logging-related personal data

If Customer's inputs contain Personal Data (e.g., researcher names, emails or identifiers in notebook entries), processing remains governed by the DPA. Customer should minimise Personal Data in prompts and must not submit special-category data.

12. Suspension

Algoshred may suspend AI features for a Customer or account where suspected abuse, unlawful automated decision-making, or violation of the AUP is detected, and will notify Customer.

13. Updates

Algoshred may update these AI Terms with at least 30 days' notice for material changes. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance. For Enterprise Customers, in-force Order Forms preserve material terms until renewal.

14. Governing law

Per MSA §15.
