Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of markovstudios.com (the “site”), operated by Markov (“Markov,” “we” or “us”). By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. About the site

The site provides general information about Markov and our datasets, environments and research. It is offered for information only. We may change, suspend or remove any part of the site at any time without notice, and we have no obligation to update its content.

2. Datasets, environments and services

Descriptions of datasets, environments and services on the site, including figures such as hours or task counts, are for information and are not an offer. Any license to data, environments or services is granted only under a separate written agreement with Markov, and that agreement governs if it conflicts with these Terms. Samples shown on the site are provided for evaluation. Datasets we publish openly are licensed under the terms shown with each dataset.

3. Research and results

Research posts, benchmarks, results and figures on the site are shared for information as of the time they were published. They may be revised and should not be relied on as advice or as a guarantee of performance.

4. Using the site

You may use the site for lawful purposes and in line with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • use the site in any way that breaks a law or regulation
  • try to gain unauthorized access to the site, its systems or its data
  • interfere with the operation or security of the site, or place an unreasonable load on it
  • access the site with bots, crawlers or other automated tools in a way that ignores our robots.txt file
  • introduce viruses, malware or other harmful code
  • misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organization

Search engines and AI crawlers that follow our robots.txt file are welcome to crawl the site and use its public pages.

5. Our content and marks

The site and its content, including text, drawings, images, software and design, are owned by Markov or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. The Markov name and logo are our trademarks. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to view the site for your personal or internal business use. Except as these Terms or a license shown with specific content allow, you may not copy, modify, distribute or create works based on the site. Other names and logos on the site belong to their owners.

6. Messages and feedback

If you send us messages, ideas or feedback, you agree that they are not confidential unless we agree otherwise in writing, and that we may use feedback without restriction or obligation to you.

7. Other websites

The site links to websites run by others, including where our open datasets are hosted and where calls are booked. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, terms or practices.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information collected through the site.

9. No warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Markov disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Markov will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from or related to the site or these Terms, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the site or these Terms is limited to one hundred US dollars (US$100). Some places do not allow these limits, so they apply to you only to the extent the law allows.

11. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Markov and its team from any claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your misuse of the site or your breach of these Terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising from or related to the site or these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a new version on this page. Changes take effect when posted, and your continued use of the site after that means you accept them.

14. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Markov about your use of the site. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver. We may assign these Terms. You may not assign them without our written consent.
