ITLingoCloud — User Terms and Conditions
Version: 2026-07
Last updated: 6 July 2026
These User Terms govern access to and use of the ITLingoCloud platform, including the ITLingoCloud web application, ITOI — ITLingo Online IDE, ITLingo-Chatbot, domain-specific languages, templates, examples, reusable resources, generated artifacts, documentation, and associated services.
By accessing or using ITLingoCloud, you agree to these User Terms. If you use the Platform on behalf of an organization, institution, research group, academic course, or project, you confirm that you are authorized to do so and that your use complies with the applicable rules.
1. Purpose and Scope
ITLingoCloud is designed to support the management, specification, automation, and intelligent use of domain knowledge and structured specifications.
The Platform may allow users to manage languages, projects, resources, templates, examples, and reusable knowledge; specify requirements, rules, processes, services, applications, and other digital artefacts using structured languages such as RSL, ASL, or other domain-specific languages; automate the generation of documents, models, prototypes, code fragments, configuration files, and other artefacts; and use AI-assisted features for drafting, refinement, explanation, validation, transformation, and generation.
ITLingoCloud's current version is experimental. Users must not rely on it for critical tasks.
2. Nature of the Current Service
ITLingoCloud is currently offered as an experimental, evaluation-oriented platform, designed to support innovation without guaranteeing full stability, which should reassure users and set realistic expectations.
The service may be incomplete, experimental, or subject to change without notice, which is normal for an evaluation platform, helping users feel informed and adaptable.
The Platform operator does not guarantee uninterrupted availability, permanent storage, production-grade reliability, service-level commitments, technical support commitments, response times, backup guarantees, or long-term continuity of the service.
Users should not rely on ITLingoCloud as a mission-critical, production, commercial, operational, administrative, legal, regulatory, or safety-critical system.
3. Non-Commercial and No-Fee Use
ITLingoCloud is currently available at no cost. There are no current subscription fees, license fees, paid accounts, billing cycles, commercial service levels, refund mechanisms, or payment obligations associated with the current service.
The absence of fees does not create any entitlement to continued access, guaranteed availability, technical support, data retention, feature continuity, or future free use.
The Platform operator may, in the future, modify the access model, restrict access, discontinue the service, introduce institutional agreements, or provide commercial or production-oriented versions under separate terms.
4. Accounts and Access
To use certain parts of the Platform, users may need to create an account or authenticate through an approved identity provider.
Users must promptly report suspected unauthorized access to maintain security and compliance.
Where an account is created within an organizational, academic, research, or course workspace, the relevant organization may have administrative control over that workspace, including the ability to manage users, permissions, shared resources, templates, and project content.
Access may be limited to authorized users, invited users, academic groups, research partners, demonstration participants, evaluators, students, or project collaborators. The Platform operator may refuse, suspend, restrict, or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect the Platform, other users, third-party rights, research integrity, security, or compliance with these User Terms or applicable law.
5. Acceptable Use
Users agree to use ITLingoCloud responsibly, lawfully, and in accordance with these User Terms.
Users must not use the Platform to upload, create, publish, store, or distribute unlawful, harmful, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory, fraudulent, misleading, infringing, or otherwise inappropriate content.
Users must not use the Platform to violate intellectual property rights, privacy rights, data protection rights, confidentiality obligations, contractual obligations, academic integrity rules, research ethics requirements, or other third-party rights.
Users must not upload malware, harmful scripts, exploit code, or content intended to disrupt, damage, access, or interfere with systems, networks, accounts, or data. Users must not attempt to bypass security controls, access restrictions, authentication mechanisms, rate limits, workspace permissions, or technical safeguards.
Users must not use the Platform to support cyber abuse, fraud, impersonation, deceptive activity, illegal surveillance, unauthorized access, or harmful automation.
Users must not submit personal data, confidential information, trade secrets, restricted data, classified data, or sensitive information unless they have the necessary rights, permissions, safeguards, and legal basis to do so. Where possible, users are encouraged to use synthetic, anonymized, fictional, educational, or non-sensitive data for demonstrations, exercises, prototypes, evaluations, and research experiments.
6. Academic, Research, Demonstration, and Evaluation Use
The Platform may be used for academic teaching, research experimentation, student projects, thesis work, scientific evaluation, prototype development, usability assessment, technology demonstration, and exploratory validation.
Users are responsible for ensuring that their use complies with applicable academic, institutional, research, ethical, and data protection requirements.
Where the Platform is used in a research study, evaluation, thesis, dissertation, experiment, or publication, users must ensure that any necessary ethical approvals, participant consents, data protection assessments, acknowledgments, citations, or institutional permissions are obtained.
The Platform operator may collect and analyze technical, operational, and usage information to improve the Platform, evaluate its functionality, support research, assess usability, detect errors, and enhance security, subject to the applicable Privacy Policy and data protection rules.
User Content will not be intentionally published or disclosed as research material without appropriate authorization, anonymization, aggregation, institutional approval, consent, or another valid legal basis.
7. User Content
“User Content” means any text, specification, model, grammar, template, document, file, prompt, data, code, image, metadata, or other material that is uploaded, created, submitted, edited, stored, or generated by a user on the Platform.
Users retain ownership of their User Content, subject to any rights held by their organization, collaborators, licensors, students, supervisors, research partners, or other third parties.
By submitting User Content to the Platform, users grant the Platform operator a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, process, display, transmit, transform, and use that content solely as necessary to provide, operate, secure, maintain, evaluate, improve, and support the Platform, according to the applicable account settings, workspace permissions, service configuration, and privacy documentation.
Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights and permissions to upload, use, share, or process User Content through the Platform.
Before publishing or sharing content via shared repositories, public examples, reusable templates, libraries, DSL resources, tutorials, documentation, prompt templates, or transformation rules, users must ensure the content does not include confidential, personal, proprietary, restricted, or third-party material they are not authorized to disclose.
8. Generated Artifacts
“Generated Artifacts” means any output produced by the Platform, including documents, diagrams, specifications, prototypes, source files, configuration scripts, reports, or AI-assisted outputs.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, users may use Generated Artifacts for academic, research, educational, demonstration, evaluation, prototyping, or internal exploratory purposes, subject to their rights in the underlying User Content, the rights of their organization or collaborators, applicable third-party licenses, and these User Terms.
Generated Artifacts may contain errors, omissions, inconsistencies, security issues, outdated assumptions, incomplete interpretations, or prototype-level outputs. Users are responsible for reviewing, testing, validating, approving, and, where necessary, correcting Generated Artifacts before relying on them.
Generated Artifacts should not be used directly in production, operational, administrative, legal, regulatory, safety-critical, or commercially binding contexts without independent expert review and validation.
9. AI-Assisted Features
ITLingoCloud may include AI-assisted features to help users draft, improve, explain, validate, classify, transform, or generate specifications, resources, documents, models, prototypes, and other artifacts.
AI outputs are probabilistic and may be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, inconsistent, outdated, or unsuitable for a particular purpose. Users must not rely on AI outputs without appropriate human review.
Where the Platform identifies a chatbot, assistant, recommender, generator, validator, or other AI functionality, users acknowledge that they are interacting with an AI-assisted system or receiving AI-assisted output.
Users must not use AI Features to misrepresent AI-generated content as exclusively human-created where disclosure is required; generate deceptive, unlawful, infringing, defamatory, discriminatory, or harmful content; process personal data or confidential information without appropriate rights and safeguards; or make automated decisions about individuals without appropriate legal, ethical, organizational, and human oversight.
The Platform may rely on third-party AI providers, model providers, hosting providers, identity providers, analytics services, or infrastructure services. Where applicable, such use will be described in the Privacy Policy, service documentation, or organizational configuration.
10. Privacy and Personal Data
The processing of personal data in connection with ITLingoCloud is governed by the applicable Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Data Processing Agreement, institutional agreement, research protocol, or project-specific documentation, where applicable.
Users must not upload or process personal data through the Platform unless they have a lawful basis, authority, and appropriate safeguards to do so.
