Definitions **Short version:** *We use these basic terms throughout the agreement , and they have specific meanings. You should know what we mean when we use each of the terms. There's not going to be a test on it , but it's still useful information.* 1. An "Account" represents your legal relationship with GitHub. A “Personal Account” represents an individual User’s authorization to log in to and use the Service and serves as a User’s identity on GitHub. “Organizations” are shared workspaces that may be associated with a single entity or with one or more Users where multiple Users can collaborate across many projects at once. A Personal Account can be a member of any number of Organizations. 2. The “Agreement” refers , collectively , to all the terms , conditions , notices contained or referenced in this document (the “Terms of Service” or the "Terms") and all other operating rules , policies (including the GitHub Privacy Statement , available at [github.com/site/privacy](https://github.com/site/privacy)) and procedures that we may publish from time to time on the Website. Most of our site policies are available at [docs.github.com/categories/site-policy](/en/site-policy). 3. "AI Feature" means any feature of GitHub or our Affiliates that uses machine learning or artificial intelligence to generate Output , including GitHub Copilot , Copilot Autofix , and any other feature identified as using machine learning or artificial intelligence in our documentation. 4. “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls , is controlled by , or is under common control with a party , where "control" means having more than fifty percent (50%) ownership or the right to direct the management of the entity. For the avoidance of doubt , Microsoft is an Affiliate of GitHub. 5. "Beta Previews" mean software , services , or features identified as alpha , beta , preview , early access , or evaluation , or words or phrases with similar meanings. 6. "Content" means code , text , data , documentation , images , graphics , software , packages , and other materials made available through the Service. 7. “GitHub , ” “We , ” and “Us” refer to GitHub , Inc. , as well as our directors , subsidiaries , contractors , licensors , officers , agents , and employees. 8. “Input” means any content or context provided to an AI Feature , including prompts , attachments , code in your workspace , and conversation history. 9. "Output" means responses and suggestions , including code or other material , generated by an AI Feature. 10. The “Service” refers to the applications , software , products , and services provided by GitHub , including through the Website and any Beta Previews. 11. “User , ” “You , ” and “Your” refer to the individual person , company , or organization that has visited or is using the Website or Service; that accesses or uses any part of the Account; or that directs the use of the Account in the performance of its functions. A User must be at least 13 years of age. Special terms may apply for business or government Accounts (See [Section B(5): Additional Terms](#5-additional-terms)). 12. "User-Generated Content" means Content that you or other users upload , submit , or create through the Service. 13. The “Website” refers to GitHub’s website located at [github.com](https://github.com/) , and all content , services , and products provided by GitHub at or through the Website. It also refers to GitHub-owned subdomains of github.com , such as [education.github.com](https://education.github.com/) and [pages.github.com](https://pages.github.com/). These Terms also govern GitHub’s conference websites , such as [githubuniverse.com](https://githubuniverse.com/) , and product websites , such as [electronjs.org](https://www.electronjs.org/). Occasionally , websites owned by GitHub may provide different or additional terms of service. If those additional terms conflict with this Agreement , the more specific terms apply to the relevant page or service. 14. "Your Content" means User-Generated Content that you upload , submit , or create , including your modifications to Content you have forked or cloned. It does not include the underlying Content created by others. ## B. Account Terms **Short version:** *Personal Accounts and Organizations have different administrative controls; a human must create your Account; you must be 13 or over; you must provide a valid email address; and you may not have more than one free Account. You alone are responsible for your Account and anything that happens while you are signed in to or using your Account. You are responsible for keeping your Account secure.* ### 1. Account Controls * Users. Subject to these Terms , you retain ultimate administrative control over your Personal Account and the Content within it. * Organizations. The "owner" of an Organization that was created under these Terms has ultimate administrative control over that Organization and the Content within it. Within the Service , an owner can manage User access to the Organization’s data and projects. An Organization may have multiple owners , but there must be at least one Personal Account designated as an owner of an Organization. If you are the owner of an Organization under these Terms , we consider you responsible for the actions that are performed on or through that Organization. ### 2. Required Information You must provide a valid email address in order to complete the signup process. Any other information requested , such as your real name , is optional , unless you are accepting these terms on behalf of a legal entity (in which case we need more information about the legal entity) or if you opt for a [paid Account](#l-payment) , in which case additional information will be necessary for billing purposes. ### 3. Account Requirements We have a few simple rules for Accounts on GitHub's Service. * You must be a human to create an Account. Accounts registered by "bots" or other automated methods are not permitted. We do permit machine accounts: * A machine account is an Account set up by an individual human who accepts the Terms on behalf of the Account , provides a valid email address , and is responsible for its actions. A machine account is used exclusively for performing automated tasks. Multiple users may direct the actions of a machine account , but the owner of the Account is ultimately responsible for the machine's actions. You may maintain no more than one free machine account in addition to your free Personal Account. * One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well , that's fine , but it can only be used for running a machine). * You must be age 13 or older. While we are thrilled to see brilliant young coders get excited by learning to program , we must comply with United States law. GitHub does not target our Service to children under 13 , and we do not permit any Users under 13 on our Service. If we learn of any User under the age of 13 , we will [terminate that User’s Account immediately](#m-cancellation-and-termination). If you are a resident of a country outside the United States , your country’s minimum age may be older; in such a case , you are responsible for complying with your country’s laws. * Your login may only be used by one person — i.e. , a single login may not be shared by multiple people. A paid Organization may only provide access to as many Personal Accounts as your subscription allows. * You may not use GitHub in violation of export control or sanctions laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. You may not use GitHub if you are or are working on behalf of a [Specially Designated National (SDN)](https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN-List/Pages/default.aspx) or a person subject to similar blocking or denied party prohibitions administered by a U.S. government agency. GitHub may allow persons in certain sanctioned countries or territories to access certain GitHub services pursuant to U.S. government authorizations. For more information , please see our [Export Controls policy](/en/site-policy/other-site-policies/github-and-trade-controls). ### 4. Account Security You are responsible for keeping your Account secure while you use our Service. We offer tools such as two-factor authentication to help you maintain your Account's security , but the content of your Account and its security are up to you. * You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your Account (even when content is posted by others who have Accounts under your Account). * You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and password. GitHub cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. * You will promptly notify GitHub by contacting us through the [GitHub Support portal](https://support.github.com/) if you become aware of any unauthorized use of , or access to , our Service through your Account , including any unauthorized use of your password or Account. ### 5. Additional Terms In some situations , third parties' terms may apply to your use of GitHub. For example , you may be a member of an organization on GitHub with its own terms or license agreements; you may download an application that integrates with GitHub; or you may use GitHub to authenticate to another service. Please be aware that while these Terms are our full agreement with you , other parties' terms govern their relationships with you. If you are a government User or otherwise accessing or using any GitHub Service in a government capacity , this [Government Amendment to GitHub Terms of Service](/en/site-policy/site-policy-deprecated/amendment-to-github-terms-of-service-applicable-to-us-federal-government-users) applies to you , and you agree to its provisions. If you have signed up for GitHub Enterprise Cloud , the [Enterprise Cloud Addendum](/en/site-policy/site-policy-deprecated/github-enterprise-service-level-agreement) applies to you , and you agree to its provisions. ## C. Acceptable Use **Short version:** *GitHub hosts a wide variety of collaborative projects from all over the world , and that collaboration only works when our users are able to work together in good faith. While using the service , you must follow the terms of this section , which include some restrictions on content you can post , conduct on the service , and other limitations. In short , be excellent to each other.* Your use of the Website and Service must not violate any applicable laws , including copyright or trademark laws , export control or sanctions laws , or other laws in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for making sure that your use of the Service is in compliance with laws and any applicable regulations. You agree that you will not under any circumstances violate our [Acceptable Use Policies](/en/site-policy/acceptable-use-policies/github-acceptable-use-policies) or [Community Guidelines](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-community-guidelines). ## D. User-Generated Content **Short version:** *You own content you create , but you allow us certain rights to it , so that we can display and share the content you post. You still have control over your content , and responsibility for it , and the rights you grant us are limited to those we need to provide the service. We have the right to remove content or close Accounts if we need to.* ### 1. Responsibility for User-Generated Content You are responsible for Your Content and any harm resulting from it. This includes Content you post , upload , or make available through the Service. We are not responsible for any public display or misuse of Your Content. ### 2. GitHub May Remove Content We may refuse or remove User-Generated Content that violates applicable law or our terms and policies. We access private repositories only as described in Section E. Content displayed on GitHub Mobile may be subject to app store terms. ### 3. Ownership and License Grants You own Your Content. If you post Content you did not create , you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to post it and for complying with any applicable licenses. You grant us and other Users the licenses in Sections D.4–D.8. These licenses apply to Your Content. If Your Content already includes a license granting us the permissions we need , no additional license is required. You will not receive payment for these rights. These licenses end when you remove Your Content , unless other Users have forked it. ### 4. License Grant to Us You grant GitHub and our Affiliates the right to store , host , archive , parse , display , and make copies of Your Content as necessary to provide , develop , and improve the Service , including by training AI Features , and for the purpose of training , developing , and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies of our Affiliates. This license includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other Users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other Users; and perform it , in case Your Content is something like music or video. For the avoidance of doubt , use of Your Content to develop , train , and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies of GitHub and our Affiliates is within the scope of this license and does not constitute a sale or other restricted transfer of Your Content. ### 5. License Grant to Other Users Your Content that you post publicly , including issues , comments , and contributions to other Users' repositories , may be viewed by others. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly , you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies within the Service in repositories they control). By making a repository public , you grant other Users a nonexclusive , worldwide license to use , display , perform and reproduce (by forking) Your Content through the Service as permitted by GitHub's functionality. You may grant additional rights by [adopting a license](/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository#including-an-open-source-license-in-your-repository). If you post Content you did not create or own , you are responsible for ensuring it is licensed under terms that permit these uses. ### 6. Contributions Under Repository License Whenever you add Content to a repository containing notice of a license , you license that Content under the same terms , and you agree that you have the right to license that Content under those terms. If you have a separate agreement to license that Content under different terms , such as a contributor license agreement , that agreement will supersede. Isn't this just how it works already? Yep. This is widely accepted as the norm in the open-source community; it's commonly referred to by the shorthand "inbound=outbound". We're just making it explicit. ### 7. Moral Rights You retain all moral rights to Your Content that you upload , publish , or submit to any part of the Service , including the rights of integrity and attribution. However , you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us or our Affiliates , to enable GitHub and our Affiliates to reasonably exercise the rights granted in Section D.4 , but not otherwise. To the extent this agreement is not enforceable by applicable law , you grant GitHub the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution and to make reasonable adaptations of Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service. ### 8. Public Repositories and Lawful Access By choosing to contribute Content to a public repository , you are choosing to and directing us to make such Content accessible to everyone on the internet. Unless specifically set forth herein , these Terms do not restrict lawful access to or use of the contents of public repositories by third parties , or by GitHub or its Affiliates. ### 9. Access Reciprocity By using automated means to access , collect , or otherwise use (“Access”) any publicly accessible Content from the Service for the purpose of developing or training any commercially available artificial intelligence model , machine learning system , or similar technology (a "Commercial AI System") , you hereby waive any and all policies , terms , conditions , or contractual provisions governing products , services , websites or datasets you own or operate that would otherwise prohibit , restrict , or place conditions upon GitHub's Access to any publicly accessible data , information or content associated with your products or services , including for the purpose of developing or training any Commercial AI System. You further agree not to impose technical or other targeted measures to restrict or retaliate against such Access. This Section D.9 does not apply to Access solely for the purpose of academic research or if , on the date you Access the Content , the number of monthly active users of the products or services made available by you is less than 700 million in the preceding calendar month. For the purposes of this Section , "you" shall refer to you and any entity that directly or indirectly controls , is controlled by , or is under common control with you (affiliates). ## E. Private Repositories **Short version:** *We treat the content of private repositories as confidential , and we only access it as described in Section E.3 below—for security purposes , to assist the repository owner with a support matter , to maintain the integrity of the Service , to comply with our legal obligations , if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law , or with your consent.* ### 1. Control of Private Repositories Some Accounts may have private repositories , which allow the User to control access to Content. ### 2. Confidentiality of Private Repositories GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you. GitHub will protect the contents of private repositories from unauthorized use , access , or disclosure in the same manner that we would use to protect our own confidential information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. ### 3. Access You control access to the content of your private repositories. GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you , as set forth in Section E.2 , and GitHub personnel will not access private repository content without your consent except in the following circumstances: * for security purposes; * for automated scanning or manual review for known vulnerabilities , active malware , or other content known to violate our Terms of Service; * to assist the repository owner with a support matter; * to maintain the integrity of the Service; or * to comply with our legal obligations if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law. You may choose to enable additional access to your private repositories. For example: * You may enable various GitHub services or features that require additional rights to Your Content in private repositories. These rights may vary depending on the service or feature , but GitHub will continue to treat your private repository Content as confidential. If those services or features require rights in addition to those we need to provide the GitHub Service , we will provide an explanation of those rights. * If you provide your private repository content as Input to AI Features , we may use that Input to provide , develop , train , and improve the Service , including AI Features. Your ability to opt out under [Section J.3](#3-development-and-improvement-using-your-input-and-output) applies to this use of private repository content. We will not otherwise use your private repository contents to develop or improve the Service. Additionally , we may be [compelled by law](/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement#sharing-of-personal-data) to disclose the contents of your private repositories. GitHub will provide notice regarding our access to private repository content , unless [for legal disclosure](/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement) , to comply with our legal obligations , or where otherwise bound by requirements under law , for automated scanning , or if in response to a security threat or other risk to security. ## F. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy If you believe that content on our website violates your copyright , please contact us in accordance with our [Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy](/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy). If you are a copyright owner and you believe that content on GitHub violates your rights , please contact us via [our convenient DMCA form](https://github.com/contact/dmca) or by emailing <copyright@github.com>. There may be legal consequences for sending a false or frivolous takedown notice. Before sending a takedown request , you must consider legal uses such as fair use and licensed uses. We will terminate the Accounts of [repeat infringers](/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy#f-repeated-infringement) of this policy. ## G. Intellectual Property Notice **Short version:** *We own the service and all of our content. In order for you to use our content , we give you certain rights to it , but you may only use our content in the way we have allowed.* ### 1. GitHub's Rights to Content GitHub and our licensors , vendors , agents , and/or our content providers retain ownership of all intellectual property rights of any kind related to the Website and Service. We reserve all rights that are not expressly granted to you under this Agreement or by law. The look and feel of the Website and Service is copyright © GitHub , Inc. All rights reserved. You may not duplicate , copy , or reuse any portion of the HTML/CSS , JavaScript , or visual design elements or concepts without express written permission from GitHub. ### 2. GitHub Trademarks and Logos If you’d like to use GitHub’s trademarks , you must follow all of our trademark guidelines , including those on our logos page: <https://github.com/logos>. ### 3. License to GitHub Policies This Agreement is licensed under this [Creative Commons Zero license](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). For details , see our [site-policy repository](https://github.com/github/site-policy#license). ## H. API Terms **Short version:** *You agree to these Terms of Service , plus this Section H , when using any of GitHub's APIs (Application Programming Interface) , including use of the API through a third party product that accesses GitHub.* Abuse or excessively frequent requests to GitHub via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your Account's access to the API. GitHub , in our sole discretion , will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. We will make a reasonable attempt to warn you via email prior to suspension. You may not share API tokens to exceed GitHub's rate limitations. You may not use the API to download data or Content from GitHub for spamming purposes , including for the purposes of selling GitHub users' personal information , such as to recruiters , headhunters , and job boards. All use of the GitHub API is subject to these Terms of Service and the [GitHub Privacy Statement](https://github.com/site/privacy). GitHub may offer subscription-based access to our API for those Users who require high-throughput access or access that would result in resale of GitHub's Service. ## I. GitHub Additional Product Terms **Short version:** *You need to follow certain specific terms and conditions for GitHub's various features and products , and you agree to the Supplemental Terms and Conditions when you agree to this Agreement.* Some Service features may be subject to additional terms specific to that feature or product as set forth in the GitHub Additional Product Terms. By accessing or using the Services , you also agree to the [GitHub Additional Product Terms](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-for-additional-products-and-features). ## J. AI Features , Training , and Your Data ### 1. Applicability This section applies to all AI Features unless a specific feature has additional terms that expressly modify them. The training and data-use provisions in Section J.3 apply only to individual licenses. If your use of the Service is governed by a GitHub Customer Agreement or volume licensing agreement , those agreements govern the use of your data in connection with AI Features and Section J.3 does not apply to you. ### 2. Ownership GitHub does not claim ownership of your Input or Output. Output may contain material that resembles code or content in the model's training data or that is subject to third-party copyrights or open source license terms. You are responsible for determining whether your use of Output requires a third-party license and for complying with any such license. ### 3. Development and Improvement Using Your Input and Output We use your Inputs to generate Outputs and provide the AI Features. You also grant GitHub and its Affiliates a license to collect and use your Inputs and Outputs to develop , train and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies including those that power AI Features , unless (a) you opt out through your account settings , or (b) your use of the Service is governed by a GitHub Customer Agreement or volume licensing agreement. If you opt out , GitHub will not collect or use your Inputs and Outputs for the purposes described in this paragraph from the effective date of your opt-out going forward. Unless you opt out , GitHub's Affiliates may use your Inputs and Outputs under this license in accordance with their applicable privacy and contractual obligations. This license does not , however , permit GitHub or its Affiliates to share your Inputs or Outputs with third-party AI model providers for their own independent model training purposes. The license in this Section J.3 is in addition to , and does not limit , the rights granted to GitHub and its Affiliates under Sections D.4 and D.8. This license does not extend to Your Content stored in repositories that are not provided as Input to an AI Feature. The opt-out right described in this section applies solely to the use of your Inputs and Outputs as described in this section , and does not apply to the license granted in Sections D.4-D.8 or to any Content that does not constitute Input or Output (including Content stored in public repositories). ### 4. Disclaimers Output is provided "as-is" and subject to the disclaimers in Section O. Without limiting Section O: Output may be inaccurate , incomplete , or non-functional. Output may resemble third-party code , including code under open source licenses. We do not guarantee that Output is free of errors , vulnerabilities , or intellectual property claims. You are responsible for reviewing , testing , and validating any Output before use. ### 5. Your Responsibility and Indemnity You are responsible for your use of Output , including ensuring it complies with applicable law and does not infringe third-party rights. Your indemnity obligations in Section Q apply to your use of AI Features and Output , including claims arising from Output you incorporate into your products or services. ## K. Beta Previews **Short version:** *Beta Previews may not be supported or may change at any time. You may receive confidential information through those programs that must remain confidential while the program is private. We'd love your feedback to make our Beta Previews better.* ### 1. Subject to Change Beta Previews may not be supported and may be changed at any time without notice. In addition , Beta Previews are not subject to the same security measures and auditing to which the Service has been and is subject. **By using a Beta Preview , you use it at your own risk.** ### 2. Confidentiality As a user of Beta Previews , you may get access to special information that isn’t available to the rest of the world. Due to the sensitive nature of this information , it’s important for us to make sure that you keep that information secret. **Confidentiality Obligations.** You agree that any non-public Beta Preview information we give you , such as information about a private Beta Preview , will be considered GitHub’s confidential information (collectively , “Confidential Information”) , regardless of whether it is marked or identified as such. You agree to only use such Confidential Information for the express purpose of testing and evaluating the Beta Preview (the “Purpose”) , and not for any other purpose. You should use the same degree of care as you would with your own confidential information , but no less than reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use , disclosure , publication , or dissemination of our Confidential Information. You promise not to disclose , publish , or disseminate any Confidential Information to any third party , unless we don’t otherwise prohibit or restrict such disclosure (for example , you might be part of a GitHub-organized group discussion about a private Beta Preview feature). **Exceptions.** Confidential Information will not include information that is: (a) or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement through no act or inaction on your part (such as when a private Beta Preview becomes a public Beta Preview); (b) known to you before we disclose it to you; (c) independently developed by you without breach of any confidentiality obligation to us or any third party; or (d) disclosed with permission from GitHub. You will not violate the terms of this Agreement if you are required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to operation of law , provided GitHub has been given reasonable advance written notice to object , unless prohibited by law. ### 3. Feedback We’re always trying to improve our products and services , and your feedback as a Beta Preview user will help us do that. If you choose to give us any ideas , know-how , algorithms , code contributions , suggestions , enhancement requests , recommendations or any other feedback for our products or services (collectively , “Feedback”) , you acknowledge and agree that GitHub will have a royalty-free , fully paid-up , worldwide , transferable , sub-licensable , irrevocable and perpetual license to implement , use , modify , commercially exploit and/or incorporate the Feedback into our products , services , and documentation. ## L. Payment **Short version:** *You are responsible for any fees associated with your use of GitHub. We are responsible for communicating those fees to you clearly and accurately , and letting you know well in advance if those prices change.* ### 1. Pricing Our pricing and payment terms are available at [github.com/pricing](https://github.com/pricing). If you agree to a subscription price , that will remain your price for the duration of the payment term; however , prices are subject to change at the end of a payment term. ### 2. Upgrades , Downgrades , and Changes * We will immediately bill you when you upgrade from the free plan to any paying plan. * If you change from a monthly billing plan to a yearly billing plan , GitHub will bill you for a full year at the next monthly billing date. * If you upgrade to a higher level of service , we will bill you for the upgraded plan immediately. * You may change your level of service at any time by [choosing a plan option](https://github.com/pricing) or going into your [Billing settings](https://github.com/settings/billing). If you choose to downgrade your Account , you may lose access to Content , features , or capacity of your Account. Please see our section on [Cancellation](#m-cancellation-and-termination) for information on getting a copy of that Content. ### 3. Billing Schedule; No Refunds **Payment Based on Plan** For monthly or yearly payment plans , the Service is billed in advance on a monthly or yearly basis respectively and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service , downgrade refunds , or refunds for months unused with an open Account; however , the service will remain active for the length of the paid billing period. In order to treat everyone equally , no exceptions will be made. **Payment Based on Usage** Some Service features are billed based on your usage. A limited quantity of these Service features may be included in your plan for a limited term without additional charge. If you choose to use paid Service features beyond the quantity included in your plan , you pay for those Service features based on your actual usage in the preceding month. Monthly payment for these purchases will be charged on a periodic basis in arrears. See [GitHub Additional Product Terms for Details](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-for-additional-products-and-features). **Invoicing** For invoiced Users , User agrees to pay the fees in full , up front without deduction or setoff of any kind , in U.S. Dollars.

Definitions **Short version:** *We use these basic terms throughout the agreement , and they have specific meanings. You should know what we mean when we use each of the terms. There's not going to be a test on it , but it's still useful information.* 1. An "Account" represents your legal relationship with GitHub. A “Personal Account” represents an individual User’s authorization to log in to and use the Service and serves as a User’s identity on GitHub. “Organizations” are shared workspaces that may be associated with a single entity or with one or more Users where multiple Users can collaborate across many projects at once. A Personal Account can be a member of any number of Organizations. 2. The “Agreement” refers , collectively , to all the terms , conditions , notices contained or referenced in this document (the “Terms of Service” or the "Terms") and all other operating rules , policies (including the GitHub Privacy Statement , available at [github.com/site/privacy](https://github.com/site/privacy)) and procedures that we may publish from time to time on the Website. Most of our site policies are available at [docs.github.com/categories/site-policy](/en/site-policy). 3. "AI Feature" means any feature of GitHub or our Affiliates that uses machine learning or artificial intelligence to generate Output , including GitHub Copilot , Copilot Autofix , and any other feature identified as using machine learning or artificial intelligence in our documentation. 4. “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls , is controlled by , or is under common control with a party , where "control" means having more than fifty percent (50%) ownership or the right to direct the management of the entity. For the avoidance of doubt , Microsoft is an Affiliate of GitHub. 5. "Beta Previews" mean software , services , or features identified as alpha , beta , preview , early access , or evaluation , or words or phrases with similar meanings. 6. "Content" means code , text , data , documentation , images , graphics , software , packages , and other materials made available through the Service. 7. “GitHub , ” “We , ” and “Us” refer to GitHub , Inc. , as well as our directors , subsidiaries , contractors , licensors , officers , agents , and employees. 8. “Input” means any content or context provided to an AI Feature , including prompts , attachments , code in your workspace , and conversation history. 9. "Output" means responses and suggestions , including code or other material , generated by an AI Feature. 10. The “Service” refers to the applications , software , products , and services provided by GitHub , including through the Website and any Beta Previews. 11. “User , ” “You , ” and “Your” refer to the individual person , company , or organization that has visited or is using the Website or Service; that accesses or uses any part of the Account; or that directs the use of the Account in the performance of its functions. A User must be at least 13 years of age. Special terms may apply for business or government Accounts (See [Section B(5): Additional Terms](#5-additional-terms)). 12. "User-Generated Content" means Content that you or other users upload , submit , or create through the Service. 13. The “Website” refers to GitHub’s website located at [github.com](https://github.com/) , and all content , services , and products provided by GitHub at or through the Website. It also refers to GitHub-owned subdomains of github.com , such as [education.github.com](https://education.github.com/) and [pages.github.com](https://pages.github.com/). These Terms also govern GitHub’s conference websites , such as [githubuniverse.com](https://githubuniverse.com/) , and product websites , such as [electronjs.org](https://www.electronjs.org/). Occasionally , websites owned by GitHub may provide different or additional terms of service. If those additional terms conflict with this Agreement , the more specific terms apply to the relevant page or service. 14. "Your Content" means User-Generated Content that you upload , submit , or create , including your modifications to Content you have forked or cloned. It does not include the underlying Content created by others. ## B. Account Terms **Short version:** *Personal Accounts and Organizations have different administrative controls; a human must create your Account; you must be 13 or over; you must provide a valid email address; and you may not have more than one free Account. You alone are responsible for your Account and anything that happens while you are signed in to or using your Account. You are responsible for keeping your Account secure.* ### 1. Account Controls * Users. Subject to these Terms , you retain ultimate administrative control over your Personal Account and the Content within it. * Organizations. The "owner" of an Organization that was created under these Terms has ultimate administrative control over that Organization and the Content within it. Within the Service , an owner can manage User access to the Organization’s data and projects. An Organization may have multiple owners , but there must be at least one Personal Account designated as an owner of an Organization. If you are the owner of an Organization under these Terms , we consider you responsible for the actions that are performed on or through that Organization. ### 2. Required Information You must provide a valid email address in order to complete the signup process. Any other information requested , such as your real name , is optional , unless you are accepting these terms on behalf of a legal entity (in which case we need more information about the legal entity) or if you opt for a [paid Account](#l-payment) , in which case additional information will be necessary for billing purposes. ### 3. Account Requirements We have a few simple rules for Accounts on GitHub's Service. * You must be a human to create an Account. Accounts registered by "bots" or other automated methods are not permitted. We do permit machine accounts: * A machine account is an Account set up by an individual human who accepts the Terms on behalf of the Account , provides a valid email address , and is responsible for its actions. A machine account is used exclusively for performing automated tasks. Multiple users may direct the actions of a machine account , but the owner of the Account is ultimately responsible for the machine's actions. You may maintain no more than one free machine account in addition to your free Personal Account. * One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well , that's fine , but it can only be used for running a machine). * You must be age 13 or older. While we are thrilled to see brilliant young coders get excited by learning to program , we must comply with United States law. GitHub does not target our Service to children under 13 , and we do not permit any Users under 13 on our Service. If we learn of any User under the age of 13 , we will [terminate that User’s Account immediately](#m-cancellation-and-termination). If you are a resident of a country outside the United States , your country’s minimum age may be older; in such a case , you are responsible for complying with your country’s laws. * Your login may only be used by one person — i.e. , a single login may not be shared by multiple people. A paid Organization may only provide access to as many Personal Accounts as your subscription allows. * You may not use GitHub in violation of export control or sanctions laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. You may not use GitHub if you are or are working on behalf of a [Specially Designated National (SDN)](https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN-List/Pages/default.aspx) or a person subject to similar blocking or denied party prohibitions administered by a U.S. government agency. GitHub may allow persons in certain sanctioned countries or territories to access certain GitHub services pursuant to U.S. government authorizations. For more information , please see our [Export Controls policy](/en/site-policy/other-site-policies/github-and-trade-controls). ### 4. Account Security You are responsible for keeping your Account secure while you use our Service. We offer tools such as two-factor authentication to help you maintain your Account's security , but the content of your Account and its security are up to you. * You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your Account (even when content is posted by others who have Accounts under your Account). * You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and password. GitHub cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. * You will promptly notify GitHub by contacting us through the [GitHub Support portal](https://support.github.com/) if you become aware of any unauthorized use of , or access to , our Service through your Account , including any unauthorized use of your password or Account. ### 5. Additional Terms In some situations , third parties' terms may apply to your use of GitHub. For example , you may be a member of an organization on GitHub with its own terms or license agreements; you may download an application that integrates with GitHub; or you may use GitHub to authenticate to another service. Please be aware that while these Terms are our full agreement with you , other parties' terms govern their relationships with you. If you are a government User or otherwise accessing or using any GitHub Service in a government capacity , this [Government Amendment to GitHub Terms of Service](/en/site-policy/site-policy-deprecated/amendment-to-github-terms-of-service-applicable-to-us-federal-government-users) applies to you , and you agree to its provisions. If you have signed up for GitHub Enterprise Cloud , the [Enterprise Cloud Addendum](/en/site-policy/site-policy-deprecated/github-enterprise-service-level-agreement) applies to you , and you agree to its provisions. ## C. Acceptable Use **Short version:** *GitHub hosts a wide variety of collaborative projects from all over the world , and that collaboration only works when our users are able to work together in good faith. While using the service , you must follow the terms of this section , which include some restrictions on content you can post , conduct on the service , and other limitations. In short , be excellent to each other.* Your use of the Website and Service must not violate any applicable laws , including copyright or trademark laws , export control or sanctions laws , or other laws in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for making sure that your use of the Service is in compliance with laws and any applicable regulations. You agree that you will not under any circumstances violate our [Acceptable Use Policies](/en/site-policy/acceptable-use-policies/github-acceptable-use-policies) or [Community Guidelines](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-community-guidelines). ## D. User-Generated Content **Short version:** *You own content you create , but you allow us certain rights to it , so that we can display and share the content you post. You still have control over your content , and responsibility for it , and the rights you grant us are limited to those we need to provide the service. We have the right to remove content or close Accounts if we need to.* ### 1. Responsibility for User-Generated Content You are responsible for Your Content and any harm resulting from it. This includes Content you post , upload , or make available through the Service. We are not responsible for any public display or misuse of Your Content. ### 2. GitHub May Remove Content We may refuse or remove User-Generated Content that violates applicable law or our terms and policies. We access private repositories only as described in Section E. Content displayed on GitHub Mobile may be subject to app store terms. ### 3. Ownership and License Grants You own Your Content. If you post Content you did not create , you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to post it and for complying with any applicable licenses. You grant us and other Users the licenses in Sections D.4–D.8. These licenses apply to Your Content. If Your Content already includes a license granting us the permissions we need , no additional license is required. You will not receive payment for these rights. These licenses end when you remove Your Content , unless other Users have forked it. ### 4. License Grant to Us You grant GitHub and our Affiliates the right to store , host , archive , parse , display , and make copies of Your Content as necessary to provide , develop , and improve the Service , including by training AI Features , and for the purpose of training , developing , and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies of our Affiliates. This license includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other Users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other Users; and perform it , in case Your Content is something like music or video. For the avoidance of doubt , use of Your Content to develop , train , and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies of GitHub and our Affiliates is within the scope of this license and does not constitute a sale or other restricted transfer of Your Content. ### 5. License Grant to Other Users Your Content that you post publicly , including issues , comments , and contributions to other Users' repositories , may be viewed by others. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly , you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies within the Service in repositories they control). By making a repository public , you grant other Users a nonexclusive , worldwide license to use , display , perform and reproduce (by forking) Your Content through the Service as permitted by GitHub's functionality. You may grant additional rights by [adopting a license](/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository#including-an-open-source-license-in-your-repository). If you post Content you did not create or own , you are responsible for ensuring it is licensed under terms that permit these uses. ### 6. Contributions Under Repository License Whenever you add Content to a repository containing notice of a license , you license that Content under the same terms , and you agree that you have the right to license that Content under those terms. If you have a separate agreement to license that Content under different terms , such as a contributor license agreement , that agreement will supersede. Isn't this just how it works already? Yep. This is widely accepted as the norm in the open-source community; it's commonly referred to by the shorthand "inbound=outbound". We're just making it explicit. ### 7. Moral Rights You retain all moral rights to Your Content that you upload , publish , or submit to any part of the Service , including the rights of integrity and attribution. However , you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us or our Affiliates , to enable GitHub and our Affiliates to reasonably exercise the rights granted in Section D.4 , but not otherwise. To the extent this agreement is not enforceable by applicable law , you grant GitHub the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution and to make reasonable adaptations of Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service. ### 8. Public Repositories and Lawful Access By choosing to contribute Content to a public repository , you are choosing to and directing us to make such Content accessible to everyone on the internet. Unless specifically set forth herein , these Terms do not restrict lawful access to or use of the contents of public repositories by third parties , or by GitHub or its Affiliates. ### 9. Access Reciprocity By using automated means to access , collect , or otherwise use (“Access”) any publicly accessible Content from the Service for the purpose of developing or training any commercially available artificial intelligence model , machine learning system , or similar technology (a "Commercial AI System") , you hereby waive any and all policies , terms , conditions , or contractual provisions governing products , services , websites or datasets you own or operate that would otherwise prohibit , restrict , or place conditions upon GitHub's Access to any publicly accessible data , information or content associated with your products or services , including for the purpose of developing or training any Commercial AI System. You further agree not to impose technical or other targeted measures to restrict or retaliate against such Access. This Section D.9 does not apply to Access solely for the purpose of academic research or if , on the date you Access the Content , the number of monthly active users of the products or services made available by you is less than 700 million in the preceding calendar month. For the purposes of this Section , "you" shall refer to you and any entity that directly or indirectly controls , is controlled by , or is under common control with you (affiliates). ## E. Private Repositories **Short version:** *We treat the content of private repositories as confidential , and we only access it as described in Section E.3 below—for security purposes , to assist the repository owner with a support matter , to maintain the integrity of the Service , to comply with our legal obligations , if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law , or with your consent.* ### 1. Control of Private Repositories Some Accounts may have private repositories , which allow the User to control access to Content. ### 2. Confidentiality of Private Repositories GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you. GitHub will protect the contents of private repositories from unauthorized use , access , or disclosure in the same manner that we would use to protect our own confidential information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. ### 3. Access You control access to the content of your private repositories. GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you , as set forth in Section E.2 , and GitHub personnel will not access private repository content without your consent except in the following circumstances: * for security purposes; * for automated scanning or manual review for known vulnerabilities , active malware , or other content known to violate our Terms of Service; * to assist the repository owner with a support matter; * to maintain the integrity of the Service; or * to comply with our legal obligations if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law. You may choose to enable additional access to your private repositories. For example: * You may enable various GitHub services or features that require additional rights to Your Content in private repositories. These rights may vary depending on the service or feature , but GitHub will continue to treat your private repository Content as confidential. If those services or features require rights in addition to those we need to provide the GitHub Service , we will provide an explanation of those rights. * If you provide your private repository content as Input to AI Features , we may use that Input to provide , develop , train , and improve the Service , including AI Features. Your ability to opt out under [Section J.3](#3-development-and-improvement-using-your-input-and-output) applies to this use of private repository content. We will not otherwise use your private repository contents to develop or improve the Service. Additionally , we may be [compelled by law](/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement#sharing-of-personal-data) to disclose the contents of your private repositories. GitHub will provide notice regarding our access to private repository content , unless [for legal disclosure](/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement) , to comply with our legal obligations , or where otherwise bound by requirements under law , for automated scanning , or if in response to a security threat or other risk to security. ## F. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy If you believe that content on our website violates your copyright , please contact us in accordance with our [Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy](/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy). If you are a copyright owner and you believe that content on GitHub violates your rights , please contact us via [our convenient DMCA form](https://github.com/contact/dmca) or by emailing <copyright@github.com>. There may be legal consequences for sending a false or frivolous takedown notice. Before sending a takedown request , you must consider legal uses such as fair use and licensed uses. We will terminate the Accounts of [repeat infringers](/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy#f-repeated-infringement) of this policy. ## G. Intellectual Property Notice **Short version:** *We own the service and all of our content.

API Terms **Short version:** *You agree to these Terms of Service , plus this Section H , when using any of GitHub's APIs (Application Programming Interface) , including use of the API through a third party product that accesses GitHub.* Abuse or excessively frequent requests to GitHub via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your Account's access to the API. GitHub , in our sole discretion , will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. We will make a reasonable attempt to warn you via email prior to suspension. You may not share API tokens to exceed GitHub's rate limitations. You may not use the API to download data or Content from GitHub for spamming purposes , including for the purposes of selling GitHub users' personal information , such as to recruiters , headhunters , and job boards. All use of the GitHub API is subject to these Terms of Service and the [GitHub Privacy Statement](https://github.com/site/privacy). GitHub may offer subscription-based access to our API for those Users who require high-throughput access or access that would result in resale of GitHub's Service. ## I.

By accessing or using the Services , you also agree to the [GitHub Additional Product Terms](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-for-additional-products-and-features). ## J. AI Features , Training , and Your Data ### 1. Applicability This section applies to all AI Features unless a specific feature has additional terms that expressly modify them. The training and data-use provisions in Section J.3 apply only to individual licenses. If your use of the Service is governed by a GitHub Customer Agreement or volume licensing agreement , those agreements govern the use of your data in connection with AI Features and Section J.3 does not apply to you. ### 2. Ownership GitHub does not claim ownership of your Input or Output. Output may contain material that resembles code or content in the model's training data or that is subject to third-party copyrights or open source license terms. You are responsible for determining whether your use of Output requires a third-party license and for complying with any such license. ### 3. Development and Improvement Using Your Input and Output We use your Inputs to generate Outputs and provide the AI Features. You also grant GitHub and its Affiliates a license to collect and use your Inputs and Outputs to develop , train and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies including those that power AI Features , unless (a) you opt out through your account settings , or (b) your use of the Service is governed by a GitHub Customer Agreement or volume licensing agreement. If you opt out , GitHub will not collect or use your Inputs and Outputs for the purposes described in this paragraph from the effective date of your opt-out going forward. Unless you opt out , GitHub's Affiliates may use your Inputs and Outputs under this license in accordance with their applicable privacy and contractual obligations. This license does not , however , permit GitHub or its Affiliates to share your Inputs or Outputs with third-party AI model providers for their own independent model training purposes. The license in this Section J.3 is in addition to , and does not limit , the rights granted to GitHub and its Affiliates under Sections D.4 and D.8. This license does not extend to Your Content stored in repositories that are not provided as Input to an AI Feature. The opt-out right described in this section applies solely to the use of your Inputs and Outputs as described in this section , and does not apply to the license granted in Sections D.4-D.8 or to any Content that does not constitute Input or Output (including Content stored in public repositories). ### 4. Disclaimers Output is provided "as-is" and subject to the disclaimers in Section O. Without limiting Section O: Output may be inaccurate , incomplete , or non-functional. Output may resemble third-party code , including code under open source licenses. We do not guarantee that Output is free of errors , vulnerabilities , or intellectual property claims. You are responsible for reviewing , testing , and validating any Output before use. ### 5. Your Responsibility and Indemnity You are responsible for your use of Output , including ensuring it complies with applicable law and does not infringe third-party rights. Your indemnity obligations in Section Q apply to your use of AI Features and Output , including claims arising from Output you incorporate into your products or services. ## K. Beta Previews **Short version:** *Beta Previews may not be supported or may change at any time. You may receive confidential information through those programs that must remain confidential while the program is private. We'd love your feedback to make our Beta Previews better.* ### 1. Subject to Change Beta Previews may not be supported and may be changed at any time without notice. In addition , Beta Previews are not subject to the same security measures and auditing to which the Service has been and is subject. **By using a Beta Preview , you use it at your own risk.** ### 2. Confidentiality As a user of Beta Previews , you may get access to special information that isn’t available to the rest of the world. Due to the sensitive nature of this information , it’s important for us to make sure that you keep that information secret. **Confidentiality Obligations.** You agree that any non-public Beta Preview information we give you , such as information about a private Beta Preview , will be considered GitHub’s confidential information (collectively , “Confidential Information”) , regardless of whether it is marked or identified as such. You agree to only use such Confidential Information for the express purpose of testing and evaluating the Beta Preview (the “Purpose”) , and not for any other purpose. You should use the same degree of care as you would with your own confidential information , but no less than reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use , disclosure , publication , or dissemination of our Confidential Information. You promise not to disclose , publish , or disseminate any Confidential Information to any third party , unless we don’t otherwise prohibit or restrict such disclosure (for example , you might be part of a GitHub-organized group discussion about a private Beta Preview feature). **Exceptions.** Confidential Information will not include information that is: (a) or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement through no act or inaction on your part (such as when a private Beta Preview becomes a public Beta Preview); (b) known to you before we disclose it to you; (c) independently developed by you without breach of any confidentiality obligation to us or any third party; or (d) disclosed with permission from GitHub. You will not violate the terms of this Agreement if you are required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to operation of law , provided GitHub has been given reasonable advance written notice to object , unless prohibited by law. ### 3. Feedback We’re always trying to improve our products and services , and your feedback as a Beta Preview user will help us do that. If you choose to give us any ideas , know-how , algorithms , code contributions , suggestions , enhancement requests , recommendations or any other feedback for our products or services (collectively , “Feedback”) , you acknowledge and agree that GitHub will have a royalty-free , fully paid-up , worldwide , transferable , sub-licensable , irrevocable and perpetual license to implement , use , modify , commercially exploit and/or incorporate the Feedback into our products , services , and documentation. ## L. Payment **Short version:** *You are responsible for any fees associated with your use of GitHub. We are responsible for communicating those fees to you clearly and accurately , and letting you know well in advance if those prices change.* ### 1.

In order to treat everyone equally , no exceptions will be made. **Payment Based on Usage** Some Service features are billed based on your usage. A limited quantity of these Service features may be included in your plan for a limited term without additional charge.

User is solely responsible for all taxes , fees , duties and governmental assessments (except for taxes based on GitHub's net income) that are imposed or become due in connection with this Agreement. ### 4.

Definitions **Short version:** *We use these basic terms throughout the agreement , and they have specific meanings. You should know what we mean when we use each of the terms. There's not going to be a test on it , but it's still useful information.* 1. An "Account" represents your legal relationship with GitHub. A “Personal Account” represents an individual User’s authorization to log in to and use the Service and serves as a User’s identity on GitHub. “Organizations” are shared workspaces that may be associated with a single entity or with one or more Users where multiple Users can collaborate across many projects at once. A Personal Account can be a member of any number of Organizations. 2. The “Agreement” refers , collectively , to all the terms , conditions , notices contained or referenced in this document (the “Terms of Service” or the "Terms") and all other operating rules , policies (including the GitHub Privacy Statement , available at [github.com/site/privacy](https://github.com/site/privacy)) and procedures that we may publish from time to time on the Website. Most of our site policies are available at [docs.github.com/categories/site-policy](/en/site-policy). 3. "AI Feature" means any feature of GitHub or our Affiliates that uses machine learning or artificial intelligence to generate Output , including GitHub Copilot , Copilot Autofix , and any other feature identified as using machine learning or artificial intelligence in our documentation. 4. “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls , is controlled by , or is under common control with a party , where "control" means having more than fifty percent (50%) ownership or the right to direct the management of the entity. For the avoidance of doubt , Microsoft is an Affiliate of GitHub. 5. "Beta Previews" mean software , services , or features identified as alpha , beta , preview , early access , or evaluation , or words or phrases with similar meanings. 6. "Content" means code , text , data , documentation , images , graphics , software , packages , and other materials made available through the Service. 7. “GitHub , ” “We , ” and “Us” refer to GitHub , Inc. , as well as our directors , subsidiaries , contractors , licensors , officers , agents , and employees. 8. “Input” means any content or context provided to an AI Feature , including prompts , attachments , code in your workspace , and conversation history. 9. "Output" means responses and suggestions , including code or other material , generated by an AI Feature. 10. The “Service” refers to the applications , software , products , and services provided by GitHub , including through the Website and any Beta Previews. 11. “User , ” “You , ” and “Your” refer to the individual person , company , or organization that has visited or is using the Website or Service; that accesses or uses any part of the Account; or that directs the use of the Account in the performance of its functions. A User must be at least 13 years of age. Special terms may apply for business or government Accounts (See [Section B(5): Additional Terms](#5-additional-terms)). 12. "User-Generated Content" means Content that you or other users upload , submit , or create through the Service. 13. The “Website” refers to GitHub’s website located at [github.com](https://github.com/) , and all content , services , and products provided by GitHub at or through the Website. It also refers to GitHub-owned subdomains of github.com , such as [education.github.com](https://education.github.com/) and [pages.github.com](https://pages.github.com/). These Terms also govern GitHub’s conference websites , such as [githubuniverse.com](https://githubuniverse.com/) , and product websites , such as [electronjs.org](https://www.electronjs.org/). Occasionally , websites owned by GitHub may provide different or additional terms of service. If those additional terms conflict with this Agreement , the more specific terms apply to the relevant page or service. 14. "Your Content" means User-Generated Content that you upload , submit , or create , including your modifications to Content you have forked or cloned. It does not include the underlying Content created by others. ## B. Account Terms **Short version:** *Personal Accounts and Organizations have different administrative controls; a human must create your Account; you must be 13 or over; you must provide a valid email address; and you may not have more than one free Account. You alone are responsible for your Account and anything that happens while you are signed in to or using your Account. You are responsible for keeping your Account secure.* ### 1. Account Controls * Users. Subject to these Terms , you retain ultimate administrative control over your Personal Account and the Content within it. * Organizations. The "owner" of an Organization that was created under these Terms has ultimate administrative control over that Organization and the Content within it. Within the Service , an owner can manage User access to the Organization’s data and projects. An Organization may have multiple owners , but there must be at least one Personal Account designated as an owner of an Organization. If you are the owner of an Organization under these Terms , we consider you responsible for the actions that are performed on or through that Organization. ### 2. Required Information You must provide a valid email address in order to complete the signup process. Any other information requested , such as your real name , is optional , unless you are accepting these terms on behalf of a legal entity (in which case we need more information about the legal entity) or if you opt for a [paid Account](#l-payment) , in which case additional information will be necessary for billing purposes. ### 3. Account Requirements We have a few simple rules for Accounts on GitHub's Service. * You must be a human to create an Account. Accounts registered by "bots" or other automated methods are not permitted. We do permit machine accounts: * A machine account is an Account set up by an individual human who accepts the Terms on behalf of the Account , provides a valid email address , and is responsible for its actions. A machine account is used exclusively for performing automated tasks. Multiple users may direct the actions of a machine account , but the owner of the Account is ultimately responsible for the machine's actions. You may maintain no more than one free machine account in addition to your free Personal Account. * One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well , that's fine , but it can only be used for running a machine). * You must be age 13 or older. While we are thrilled to see brilliant young coders get excited by learning to program , we must comply with United States law. GitHub does not target our Service to children under 13 , and we do not permit any Users under 13 on our Service. If we learn of any User under the age of 13 , we will [terminate that User’s Account immediately](#m-cancellation-and-termination). If you are a resident of a country outside the United States , your country’s minimum age may be older; in such a case , you are responsible for complying with your country’s laws. * Your login may only be used by one person — i.e. , a single login may not be shared by multiple people. A paid Organization may only provide access to as many Personal Accounts as your subscription allows. * You may not use GitHub in violation of export control or sanctions laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. You may not use GitHub if you are or are working on behalf of a [Specially Designated National (SDN)](https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN-List/Pages/default.aspx) or a person subject to similar blocking or denied party prohibitions administered by a U.S. government agency. GitHub may allow persons in certain sanctioned countries or territories to access certain GitHub services pursuant to U.S. government authorizations. For more information , please see our [Export Controls policy](/en/site-policy/other-site-policies/github-and-trade-controls). ### 4. Account Security You are responsible for keeping your Account secure while you use our Service. We offer tools such as two-factor authentication to help you maintain your Account's security , but the content of your Account and its security are up to you. * You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your Account (even when content is posted by others who have Accounts under your Account). * You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and password. GitHub cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. * You will promptly notify GitHub by contacting us through the [GitHub Support portal](https://support.github.com/) if you become aware of any unauthorized use of , or access to , our Service through your Account , including any unauthorized use of your password or Account. ### 5. Additional Terms In some situations , third parties' terms may apply to your use of GitHub. For example , you may be a member of an organization on GitHub with its own terms or license agreements; you may download an application that integrates with GitHub; or you may use GitHub to authenticate to another service. Please be aware that while these Terms are our full agreement with you , other parties' terms govern their relationships with you. If you are a government User or otherwise accessing or using any GitHub Service in a government capacity , this [Government Amendment to GitHub Terms of Service](/en/site-policy/site-policy-deprecated/amendment-to-github-terms-of-service-applicable-to-us-federal-government-users) applies to you , and you agree to its provisions. If you have signed up for GitHub Enterprise Cloud , the [Enterprise Cloud Addendum](/en/site-policy/site-policy-deprecated/github-enterprise-service-level-agreement) applies to you , and you agree to its provisions. ## C. Acceptable Use **Short version:** *GitHub hosts a wide variety of collaborative projects from all over the world , and that collaboration only works when our users are able to work together in good faith. While using the service , you must follow the terms of this section , which include some restrictions on content you can post , conduct on the service , and other limitations. In short , be excellent to each other.* Your use of the Website and Service must not violate any applicable laws , including copyright or trademark laws , export control or sanctions laws , or other laws in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for making sure that your use of the Service is in compliance with laws and any applicable regulations. You agree that you will not under any circumstances violate our [Acceptable Use Policies](/en/site-policy/acceptable-use-policies/github-acceptable-use-policies) or [Community Guidelines](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-community-guidelines). ## D. User-Generated Content **Short version:** *You own content you create , but you allow us certain rights to it , so that we can display and share the content you post. You still have control over your content , and responsibility for it , and the rights you grant us are limited to those we need to provide the service. We have the right to remove content or close Accounts if we need to.* ### 1. Responsibility for User-Generated Content You are responsible for Your Content and any harm resulting from it. This includes Content you post , upload , or make available through the Service. We are not responsible for any public display or misuse of Your Content. ### 2. GitHub May Remove Content We may refuse or remove User-Generated Content that violates applicable law or our terms and policies. We access private repositories only as described in Section E. Content displayed on GitHub Mobile may be subject to app store terms. ### 3. Ownership and License Grants You own Your Content. If you post Content you did not create , you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to post it and for complying with any applicable licenses. You grant us and other Users the licenses in Sections D.4–D.8. These licenses apply to Your Content. If Your Content already includes a license granting us the permissions we need , no additional license is required. You will not receive payment for these rights. These licenses end when you remove Your Content , unless other Users have forked it. ### 4. License Grant to Us You grant GitHub and our Affiliates the right to store , host , archive , parse , display , and make copies of Your Content as necessary to provide , develop , and improve the Service , including by training AI Features , and for the purpose of training , developing , and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies of our Affiliates. This license includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other Users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other Users; and perform it , in case Your Content is something like music or video. For the avoidance of doubt , use of Your Content to develop , train , and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies of GitHub and our Affiliates is within the scope of this license and does not constitute a sale or other restricted transfer of Your Content. ### 5. License Grant to Other Users Your Content that you post publicly , including issues , comments , and contributions to other Users' repositories , may be viewed by others. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly , you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies within the Service in repositories they control). By making a repository public , you grant other Users a nonexclusive , worldwide license to use , display , perform and reproduce (by forking) Your Content through the Service as permitted by GitHub's functionality. You may grant additional rights by [adopting a license](/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository#including-an-open-source-license-in-your-repository). If you post Content you did not create or own , you are responsible for ensuring it is licensed under terms that permit these uses. ### 6. Contributions Under Repository License Whenever you add Content to a repository containing notice of a license , you license that Content under the same terms , and you agree that you have the right to license that Content under those terms. If you have a separate agreement to license that Content under different terms , such as a contributor license agreement , that agreement will supersede. Isn't this just how it works already? Yep. This is widely accepted as the norm in the open-source community; it's commonly referred to by the shorthand "inbound=outbound". We're just making it explicit. ### 7. Moral Rights You retain all moral rights to Your Content that you upload , publish , or submit to any part of the Service , including the rights of integrity and attribution. However , you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us or our Affiliates , to enable GitHub and our Affiliates to reasonably exercise the rights granted in Section D.4 , but not otherwise. To the extent this agreement is not enforceable by applicable law , you grant GitHub the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution and to make reasonable adaptations of Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service. ### 8. Public Repositories and Lawful Access By choosing to contribute Content to a public repository , you are choosing to and directing us to make such Content accessible to everyone on the internet. Unless specifically set forth herein , these Terms do not restrict lawful access to or use of the contents of public repositories by third parties , or by GitHub or its Affiliates. ### 9. Access Reciprocity By using automated means to access , collect , or otherwise use (“Access”) any publicly accessible Content from the Service for the purpose of developing or training any commercially available artificial intelligence model , machine learning system , or similar technology (a "Commercial AI System") , you hereby waive any and all policies , terms , conditions , or contractual provisions governing products , services , websites or datasets you own or operate that would otherwise prohibit , restrict , or place conditions upon GitHub's Access to any publicly accessible data , information or content associated with your products or services , including for the purpose of developing or training any Commercial AI System. You further agree not to impose technical or other targeted measures to restrict or retaliate against such Access. This Section D.9 does not apply to Access solely for the purpose of academic research or if , on the date you Access the Content , the number of monthly active users of the products or services made available by you is less than 700 million in the preceding calendar month. For the purposes of this Section , "you" shall refer to you and any entity that directly or indirectly controls , is controlled by , or is under common control with you (affiliates). ## E. Private Repositories **Short version:** *We treat the content of private repositories as confidential , and we only access it as described in Section E.3 below—for security purposes , to assist the repository owner with a support matter , to maintain the integrity of the Service , to comply with our legal obligations , if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law , or with your consent.* ### 1. Control of Private Repositories Some Accounts may have private repositories , which allow the User to control access to Content. ### 2. Confidentiality of Private Repositories GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you. GitHub will protect the contents of private repositories from unauthorized use , access , or disclosure in the same manner that we would use to protect our own confidential information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. ### 3. Access You control access to the content of your private repositories. GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you , as set forth in Section E.2 , and GitHub personnel will not access private repository content without your consent except in the following circumstances: * for security purposes; * for automated scanning or manual review for known vulnerabilities , active malware , or other content known to violate our Terms of Service; * to assist the repository owner with a support matter; * to maintain the integrity of the Service; or * to comply with our legal obligations if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law. You may choose to enable additional access to your private repositories. For example: * You may enable various GitHub services or features that require additional rights to Your Content in private repositories. These rights may vary depending on the service or feature , but GitHub will continue to treat your private repository Content as confidential. If those services or features require rights in addition to those we need to provide the GitHub Service , we will provide an explanation of those rights. * If you provide your private repository content as Input to AI Features , we may use that Input to provide , develop , train , and improve the Service , including AI Features. Your ability to opt out under [Section J.3](#3-development-and-improvement-using-your-input-and-output) applies to this use of private repository content. We will not otherwise use your private repository contents to develop or improve the Service. Additionally , we may be [compelled by law](/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement#sharing-of-personal-data) to disclose the contents of your private repositories. GitHub will provide notice regarding our access to private repository content , unless [for legal disclosure](/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement) , to comply with our legal obligations , or where otherwise bound by requirements under law , for automated scanning , or if in response to a security threat or other risk to security. ## F. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy If you believe that content on our website violates your copyright , please contact us in accordance with our [Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy](/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy). If you are a copyright owner and you believe that content on GitHub violates your rights , please contact us via [our convenient DMCA form](https://github.com/contact/dmca) or by emailing <copyright@github.com>. There may be legal consequences for sending a false or frivolous takedown notice. Before sending a takedown request , you must consider legal uses such as fair use and licensed uses. We will terminate the Accounts of [repeat infringers](/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy#f-repeated-infringement) of this policy. ## G. Intellectual Property Notice **Short version:** *We own the service and all of our content. In order for you to use our content , we give you certain rights to it , but you may only use our content in the way we have allowed.* ### 1. GitHub's Rights to Content GitHub and our licensors , vendors , agents , and/or our content providers retain ownership of all intellectual property rights of any kind related to the Website and Service. We reserve all rights that are not expressly granted to you under this Agreement or by law. The look and feel of the Website and Service is copyright © GitHub , Inc. All rights reserved. You may not duplicate , copy , or reuse any portion of the HTML/CSS , JavaScript , or visual design elements or concepts without express written permission from GitHub. ### 2. GitHub Trademarks and Logos If you’d like to use GitHub’s trademarks , you must follow all of our trademark guidelines , including those on our logos page: <https://github.com/logos>. ### 3. License to GitHub Policies This Agreement is licensed under this [Creative Commons Zero license](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). For details , see our [site-policy repository](https://github.com/github/site-policy#license). ## H. API Terms **Short version:** *You agree to these Terms of Service , plus this Section H , when using any of GitHub's APIs (Application Programming Interface) , including use of the API through a third party product that accesses GitHub.* Abuse or excessively frequent requests to GitHub via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your Account's access to the API. GitHub , in our sole discretion , will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. We will make a reasonable attempt to warn you via email prior to suspension. You may not share API tokens to exceed GitHub's rate limitations. You may not use the API to download data or Content from GitHub for spamming purposes , including for the purposes of selling GitHub users' personal information , such as to recruiters , headhunters , and job boards. All use of the GitHub API is subject to these Terms of Service and the [GitHub Privacy Statement](https://github.com/site/privacy). GitHub may offer subscription-based access to our API for those Users who require high-throughput access or access that would result in resale of GitHub's Service. ## I. GitHub Additional Product Terms **Short version:** *You need to follow certain specific terms and conditions for GitHub's various features and products , and you agree to the Supplemental Terms and Conditions when you agree to this Agreement.* Some Service features may be subject to additional terms specific to that feature or product as set forth in the GitHub Additional Product Terms. By accessing or using the Services , you also agree to the [GitHub Additional Product Terms](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-for-additional-products-and-features). ## J. AI Features , Training , and Your Data ### 1. Applicability This section applies to all AI Features unless a specific feature has additional terms that expressly modify them. The training and data-use provisions in Section J.3 apply only to individual licenses. If your use of the Service is governed by a GitHub Customer Agreement or volume licensing agreement , those agreements govern the use of your data in connection with AI Features and Section J.3 does not apply to you. ### 2. Ownership GitHub does not claim ownership of your Input or Output. Output may contain material that resembles code or content in the model's training data or that is subject to third-party copyrights or open source license terms. You are responsible for determining whether your use of Output requires a third-party license and for complying with any such license. ### 3. Development and Improvement Using Your Input and Output We use your Inputs to generate Outputs and provide the AI Features. You also grant GitHub and its Affiliates a license to collect and use your Inputs and Outputs to develop , train and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies including those that power AI Features , unless (a) you opt out through your account settings , or (b) your use of the Service is governed by a GitHub Customer Agreement or volume licensing agreement. If you opt out , GitHub will not collect or use your Inputs and Outputs for the purposes described in this paragraph from the effective date of your opt-out going forward. Unless you opt out , GitHub's Affiliates may use your Inputs and Outputs under this license in accordance with their applicable privacy and contractual obligations. This license does not , however , permit GitHub or its Affiliates to share your Inputs or Outputs with third-party AI model providers for their own independent model training purposes. The license in this Section J.3 is in addition to , and does not limit , the rights granted to GitHub and its Affiliates under Sections D.4 and D.8. This license does not extend to Your Content stored in repositories that are not provided as Input to an AI Feature. The opt-out right described in this section applies solely to the use of your Inputs and Outputs as described in this section , and does not apply to the license granted in Sections D.4-D.8 or to any Content that does not constitute Input or Output (including Content stored in public repositories). ### 4. Disclaimers Output is provided "as-is" and subject to the disclaimers in Section O. Without limiting Section O: Output may be inaccurate , incomplete , or non-functional. Output may resemble third-party code , including code under open source licenses. We do not guarantee that Output is free of errors , vulnerabilities , or intellectual property claims. You are responsible for reviewing , testing , and validating any Output before use. ### 5. Your Responsibility and Indemnity You are responsible for your use of Output , including ensuring it complies with applicable law and does not infringe third-party rights. Your indemnity obligations in Section Q apply to your use of AI Features and Output , including claims arising from Output you incorporate into your products or services. ## K. Beta Previews **Short version:** *Beta Previews may not be supported or may change at any time. You may receive confidential information through those programs that must remain confidential while the program is private. We'd love your feedback to make our Beta Previews better.* ### 1. Subject to Change Beta Previews may not be supported and may be changed at any time without notice. In addition , Beta Previews are not subject to the same security measures and auditing to which the Service has been and is subject. **By using a Beta Preview , you use it at your own risk.** ### 2. Confidentiality As a user of Beta Previews , you may get access to special information that isn’t available to the rest of the world. Due to the sensitive nature of this information , it’s important for us to make sure that you keep that information secret. **Confidentiality Obligations.** You agree that any non-public Beta Preview information we give you , such as information about a private Beta Preview , will be considered GitHub’s confidential information (collectively , “Confidential Information”) , regardless of whether it is marked or identified as such. You agree to only use such Confidential Information for the express purpose of testing and evaluating the Beta Preview (the “Purpose”) , and not for any other purpose. You should use the same degree of care as you would with your own confidential information , but no less than reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use , disclosure , publication , or dissemination of our Confidential Information. You promise not to disclose , publish , or disseminate any Confidential Information to any third party , unless we don’t otherwise prohibit or restrict such disclosure (for example , you might be part of a GitHub-organized group discussion about a private Beta Preview feature). **Exceptions.** Confidential Information will not include information that is: (a) or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement through no act or inaction on your part (such as when a private Beta Preview becomes a public Beta Preview); (b) known to you before we disclose it to you; (c) independently developed by you without breach of any confidentiality obligation to us or any third party; or (d) disclosed with permission from GitHub. You will not violate the terms of this Agreement if you are required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to operation of law , provided GitHub has been given reasonable advance written notice to object , unless prohibited by law. ### 3. Feedback We’re always trying to improve our products and services , and your feedback as a Beta Preview user will help us do that. If you choose to give us any ideas , know-how , algorithms , code contributions , suggestions , enhancement requests , recommendations or any other feedback for our products or services (collectively , “Feedback”) , you acknowledge and agree that GitHub will have a royalty-free , fully paid-up , worldwide , transferable , sub-licensable , irrevocable and perpetual license to implement , use , modify , commercially exploit and/or incorporate the Feedback into our products , services , and documentation. ## L.

In order to treat everyone equally , no exceptions will be made. **Payment Based on Usage** Some Service features are billed based on your usage. A limited quantity of these Service features may be included in your plan for a limited term without additional charge.

Definitions **Short version:** *We use these basic terms throughout the agreement , and they have specific meanings. You should know what we mean when we use each of the terms. There's not going to be a test on it , but it's still useful information.* 1. An "Account" represents your legal relationship with GitHub. A “Personal Account” represents an individual User’s authorization to log in to and use the Service and serves as a User’s identity on GitHub. “Organizations” are shared workspaces that may be associated with a single entity or with one or more Users where multiple Users can collaborate across many projects at once. A Personal Account can be a member of any number of Organizations. 2. The “Agreement” refers , collectively , to all the terms , conditions , notices contained or referenced in this document (the “Terms of Service” or the "Terms") and all other operating rules , policies (including the GitHub Privacy Statement , available at [github.com/site/privacy](https://github.com/site/privacy)) and procedures that we may publish from time to time on the Website. Most of our site policies are available at [docs.github.com/categories/site-policy](/en/site-policy). 3. "AI Feature" means any feature of GitHub or our Affiliates that uses machine learning or artificial intelligence to generate Output , including GitHub Copilot , Copilot Autofix , and any other feature identified as using machine learning or artificial intelligence in our documentation. 4. “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls , is controlled by , or is under common control with a party , where "control" means having more than fifty percent (50%) ownership or the right to direct the management of the entity. For the avoidance of doubt , Microsoft is an Affiliate of GitHub. 5. "Beta Previews" mean software , services , or features identified as alpha , beta , preview , early access , or evaluation , or words or phrases with similar meanings. 6. "Content" means code , text , data , documentation , images , graphics , software , packages , and other materials made available through the Service. 7. “GitHub , ” “We , ” and “Us” refer to GitHub , Inc. , as well as our directors , subsidiaries , contractors , licensors , officers , agents , and employees. 8. “Input” means any content or context provided to an AI Feature , including prompts , attachments , code in your workspace , and conversation history. 9. "Output" means responses and suggestions , including code or other material , generated by an AI Feature. 10. The “Service” refers to the applications , software , products , and services provided by GitHub , including through the Website and any Beta Previews. 11. “User , ” “You , ” and “Your” refer to the individual person , company , or organization that has visited or is using the Website or Service; that accesses or uses any part of the Account; or that directs the use of the Account in the performance of its functions. A User must be at least 13 years of age. Special terms may apply for business or government Accounts (See [Section B(5): Additional Terms](#5-additional-terms)). 12. "User-Generated Content" means Content that you or other users upload , submit , or create through the Service. 13. The “Website” refers to GitHub’s website located at [github.com](https://github.com/) , and all content , services , and products provided by GitHub at or through the Website. It also refers to GitHub-owned subdomains of github.com , such as [education.github.com](https://education.github.com/) and [pages.github.com](https://pages.github.com/). These Terms also govern GitHub’s conference websites , such as [githubuniverse.com](https://githubuniverse.com/) , and product websites , such as [electronjs.org](https://www.electronjs.org/). Occasionally , websites owned by GitHub may provide different or additional terms of service. If those additional terms conflict with this Agreement , the more specific terms apply to the relevant page or service. 14. "Your Content" means User-Generated Content that you upload , submit , or create , including your modifications to Content you have forked or cloned. It does not include the underlying Content created by others. ## B. Account Terms **Short version:** *Personal Accounts and Organizations have different administrative controls; a human must create your Account; you must be 13 or over; you must provide a valid email address; and you may not have more than one free Account. You alone are responsible for your Account and anything that happens while you are signed in to or using your Account. You are responsible for keeping your Account secure.* ### 1. Account Controls * Users. Subject to these Terms , you retain ultimate administrative control over your Personal Account and the Content within it. * Organizations. The "owner" of an Organization that was created under these Terms has ultimate administrative control over that Organization and the Content within it. Within the Service , an owner can manage User access to the Organization’s data and projects. An Organization may have multiple owners , but there must be at least one Personal Account designated as an owner of an Organization. If you are the owner of an Organization under these Terms , we consider you responsible for the actions that are performed on or through that Organization. ### 2. Required Information You must provide a valid email address in order to complete the signup process. Any other information requested , such as your real name , is optional , unless you are accepting these terms on behalf of a legal entity (in which case we need more information about the legal entity) or if you opt for a [paid Account](#l-payment) , in which case additional information will be necessary for billing purposes. ### 3. Account Requirements We have a few simple rules for Accounts on GitHub's Service. * You must be a human to create an Account. Accounts registered by "bots" or other automated methods are not permitted. We do permit machine accounts: * A machine account is an Account set up by an individual human who accepts the Terms on behalf of the Account , provides a valid email address , and is responsible for its actions. A machine account is used exclusively for performing automated tasks. Multiple users may direct the actions of a machine account , but the owner of the Account is ultimately responsible for the machine's actions. You may maintain no more than one free machine account in addition to your free Personal Account. * One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well , that's fine , but it can only be used for running a machine). * You must be age 13 or older. While we are thrilled to see brilliant young coders get excited by learning to program , we must comply with United States law. GitHub does not target our Service to children under 13 , and we do not permit any Users under 13 on our Service. If we learn of any User under the age of 13 , we will [terminate that User’s Account immediately](#m-cancellation-and-termination). If you are a resident of a country outside the United States , your country’s minimum age may be older; in such a case , you are responsible for complying with your country’s laws. * Your login may only be used by one person — i.e. , a single login may not be shared by multiple people. A paid Organization may only provide access to as many Personal Accounts as your subscription allows. * You may not use GitHub in violation of export control or sanctions laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. You may not use GitHub if you are or are working on behalf of a [Specially Designated National (SDN)](https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN-List/Pages/default.aspx) or a person subject to similar blocking or denied party prohibitions administered by a U.S. government agency. GitHub may allow persons in certain sanctioned countries or territories to access certain GitHub services pursuant to U.S. government authorizations. For more information , please see our [Export Controls policy](/en/site-policy/other-site-policies/github-and-trade-controls). ### 4. Account Security You are responsible for keeping your Account secure while you use our Service. We offer tools such as two-factor authentication to help you maintain your Account's security , but the content of your Account and its security are up to you. * You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your Account (even when content is posted by others who have Accounts under your Account). * You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and password. GitHub cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. * You will promptly notify GitHub by contacting us through the [GitHub Support portal](https://support.github.com/) if you become aware of any unauthorized use of , or access to , our Service through your Account , including any unauthorized use of your password or Account. ### 5. Additional Terms In some situations , third parties' terms may apply to your use of GitHub. For example , you may be a member of an organization on GitHub with its own terms or license agreements; you may download an application that integrates with GitHub; or you may use GitHub to authenticate to another service. Please be aware that while these Terms are our full agreement with you , other parties' terms govern their relationships with you. If you are a government User or otherwise accessing or using any GitHub Service in a government capacity , this [Government Amendment to GitHub Terms of Service](/en/site-policy/site-policy-deprecated/amendment-to-github-terms-of-service-applicable-to-us-federal-government-users) applies to you , and you agree to its provisions. If you have signed up for GitHub Enterprise Cloud , the [Enterprise Cloud Addendum](/en/site-policy/site-policy-deprecated/github-enterprise-service-level-agreement) applies to you , and you agree to its provisions. ## C. Acceptable Use **Short version:** *GitHub hosts a wide variety of collaborative projects from all over the world , and that collaboration only works when our users are able to work together in good faith. While using the service , you must follow the terms of this section , which include some restrictions on content you can post , conduct on the service , and other limitations. In short , be excellent to each other.* Your use of the Website and Service must not violate any applicable laws , including copyright or trademark laws , export control or sanctions laws , or other laws in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for making sure that your use of the Service is in compliance with laws and any applicable regulations. You agree that you will not under any circumstances violate our [Acceptable Use Policies](/en/site-policy/acceptable-use-policies/github-acceptable-use-policies) or [Community Guidelines](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-community-guidelines). ## D. User-Generated Content **Short version:** *You own content you create , but you allow us certain rights to it , so that we can display and share the content you post. You still have control over your content , and responsibility for it , and the rights you grant us are limited to those we need to provide the service. We have the right to remove content or close Accounts if we need to.* ### 1. Responsibility for User-Generated Content You are responsible for Your Content and any harm resulting from it. This includes Content you post , upload , or make available through the Service. We are not responsible for any public display or misuse of Your Content. ### 2. GitHub May Remove Content We may refuse or remove User-Generated Content that violates applicable law or our terms and policies. We access private repositories only as described in Section E. Content displayed on GitHub Mobile may be subject to app store terms. ### 3. Ownership and License Grants You own Your Content. If you post Content you did not create , you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to post it and for complying with any applicable licenses. You grant us and other Users the licenses in Sections D.4–D.8. These licenses apply to Your Content. If Your Content already includes a license granting us the permissions we need , no additional license is required. You will not receive payment for these rights. These licenses end when you remove Your Content , unless other Users have forked it. ### 4. License Grant to Us You grant GitHub and our Affiliates the right to store , host , archive , parse , display , and make copies of Your Content as necessary to provide , develop , and improve the Service , including by training AI Features , and for the purpose of training , developing , and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies of our Affiliates. This license includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other Users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other Users; and perform it , in case Your Content is something like music or video. For the avoidance of doubt , use of Your Content to develop , train , and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies of GitHub and our Affiliates is within the scope of this license and does not constitute a sale or other restricted transfer of Your Content. ### 5. License Grant to Other Users Your Content that you post publicly , including issues , comments , and contributions to other Users' repositories , may be viewed by others. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly , you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies within the Service in repositories they control). By making a repository public , you grant other Users a nonexclusive , worldwide license to use , display , perform and reproduce (by forking) Your Content through the Service as permitted by GitHub's functionality. You may grant additional rights by [adopting a license](/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository#including-an-open-source-license-in-your-repository). If you post Content you did not create or own , you are responsible for ensuring it is licensed under terms that permit these uses. ### 6. Contributions Under Repository License Whenever you add Content to a repository containing notice of a license , you license that Content under the same terms , and you agree that you have the right to license that Content under those terms. If you have a separate agreement to license that Content under different terms , such as a contributor license agreement , that agreement will supersede. Isn't this just how it works already? Yep. This is widely accepted as the norm in the open-source community; it's commonly referred to by the shorthand "inbound=outbound". We're just making it explicit. ### 7. Moral Rights You retain all moral rights to Your Content that you upload , publish , or submit to any part of the Service , including the rights of integrity and attribution. However , you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us or our Affiliates , to enable GitHub and our Affiliates to reasonably exercise the rights granted in Section D.4 , but not otherwise. To the extent this agreement is not enforceable by applicable law , you grant GitHub the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution and to make reasonable adaptations of Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service. ### 8. Public Repositories and Lawful Access By choosing to contribute Content to a public repository , you are choosing to and directing us to make such Content accessible to everyone on the internet. Unless specifically set forth herein , these Terms do not restrict lawful access to or use of the contents of public repositories by third parties , or by GitHub or its Affiliates. ### 9. Access Reciprocity By using automated means to access , collect , or otherwise use (“Access”) any publicly accessible Content from the Service for the purpose of developing or training any commercially available artificial intelligence model , machine learning system , or similar technology (a "Commercial AI System") , you hereby waive any and all policies , terms , conditions , or contractual provisions governing products , services , websites or datasets you own or operate that would otherwise prohibit , restrict , or place conditions upon GitHub's Access to any publicly accessible data , information or content associated with your products or services , including for the purpose of developing or training any Commercial AI System. You further agree not to impose technical or other targeted measures to restrict or retaliate against such Access. This Section D.9 does not apply to Access solely for the purpose of academic research or if , on the date you Access the Content , the number of monthly active users of the products or services made available by you is less than 700 million in the preceding calendar month. For the purposes of this Section , "you" shall refer to you and any entity that directly or indirectly controls , is controlled by , or is under common control with you (affiliates). ## E. Private Repositories **Short version:** *We treat the content of private repositories as confidential , and we only access it as described in Section E.3 below—for security purposes , to assist the repository owner with a support matter , to maintain the integrity of the Service , to comply with our legal obligations , if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law , or with your consent.* ### 1. Control of Private Repositories Some Accounts may have private repositories , which allow the User to control access to Content. ### 2. Confidentiality of Private Repositories GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you. GitHub will protect the contents of private repositories from unauthorized use , access , or disclosure in the same manner that we would use to protect our own confidential information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. ### 3. Access You control access to the content of your private repositories. GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you , as set forth in Section E.2 , and GitHub personnel will not access private repository content without your consent except in the following circumstances: * for security purposes; * for automated scanning or manual review for known vulnerabilities , active malware , or other content known to violate our Terms of Service; * to assist the repository owner with a support matter; * to maintain the integrity of the Service; or * to comply with our legal obligations if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law. You may choose to enable additional access to your private repositories. For example: * You may enable various GitHub services or features that require additional rights to Your Content in private repositories. These rights may vary depending on the service or feature , but GitHub will continue to treat your private repository Content as confidential. If those services or features require rights in addition to those we need to provide the GitHub Service , we will provide an explanation of those rights. * If you provide your private repository content as Input to AI Features , we may use that Input to provide , develop , train , and improve the Service , including AI Features. Your ability to opt out under [Section J.3](#3-development-and-improvement-using-your-input-and-output) applies to this use of private repository content. We will not otherwise use your private repository contents to develop or improve the Service. Additionally , we may be [compelled by law](/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement#sharing-of-personal-data) to disclose the contents of your private repositories. GitHub will provide notice regarding our access to private repository content , unless [for legal disclosure](/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement) , to comply with our legal obligations , or where otherwise bound by requirements under law , for automated scanning , or if in response to a security threat or other risk to security. ## F. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy If you believe that content on our website violates your copyright , please contact us in accordance with our [Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy](/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy). If you are a copyright owner and you believe that content on GitHub violates your rights , please contact us via [our convenient DMCA form](https://github.com/contact/dmca) or by emailing <copyright@github.com>. There may be legal consequences for sending a false or frivolous takedown notice. Before sending a takedown request , you must consider legal uses such as fair use and licensed uses. We will terminate the Accounts of [repeat infringers](/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy#f-repeated-infringement) of this policy. ## G. Intellectual Property Notice **Short version:** *We own the service and all of our content. In order for you to use our content , we give you certain rights to it , but you may only use our content in the way we have allowed.* ### 1. GitHub's Rights to Content GitHub and our licensors , vendors , agents , and/or our content providers retain ownership of all intellectual property rights of any kind related to the Website and Service. We reserve all rights that are not expressly granted to you under this Agreement or by law. The look and feel of the Website and Service is copyright © GitHub , Inc. All rights reserved. You may not duplicate , copy , or reuse any portion of the HTML/CSS , JavaScript , or visual design elements or concepts without express written permission from GitHub. ### 2. GitHub Trademarks and Logos If you’d like to use GitHub’s trademarks , you must follow all of our trademark guidelines , including those on our logos page: <https://github.com/logos>. ### 3. License to GitHub Policies This Agreement is licensed under this [Creative Commons Zero license](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). For details , see our [site-policy repository](https://github.com/github/site-policy#license). ## H. API Terms **Short version:** *You agree to these Terms of Service , plus this Section H , when using any of GitHub's APIs (Application Programming Interface) , including use of the API through a third party product that accesses GitHub.* Abuse or excessively frequent requests to GitHub via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your Account's access to the API. GitHub , in our sole discretion , will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. We will make a reasonable attempt to warn you via email prior to suspension. You may not share API tokens to exceed GitHub's rate limitations. You may not use the API to download data or Content from GitHub for spamming purposes , including for the purposes of selling GitHub users' personal information , such as to recruiters , headhunters , and job boards. All use of the GitHub API is subject to these Terms of Service and the [GitHub Privacy Statement](https://github.com/site/privacy). GitHub may offer subscription-based access to our API for those Users who require high-throughput access or access that would result in resale of GitHub's Service. ## I. GitHub Additional Product Terms **Short version:** *You need to follow certain specific terms and conditions for GitHub's various features and products , and you agree to the Supplemental Terms and Conditions when you agree to this Agreement.* Some Service features may be subject to additional terms specific to that feature or product as set forth in the GitHub Additional Product Terms. By accessing or using the Services , you also agree to the [GitHub Additional Product Terms](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-for-additional-products-and-features). ## J. AI Features , Training , and Your Data ### 1. Applicability This section applies to all AI Features unless a specific feature has additional terms that expressly modify them. The training and data-use provisions in Section J.3 apply only to individual licenses. If your use of the Service is governed by a GitHub Customer Agreement or volume licensing agreement , those agreements govern the use of your data in connection with AI Features and Section J.3 does not apply to you. ### 2. Ownership GitHub does not claim ownership of your Input or Output. Output may contain material that resembles code or content in the model's training data or that is subject to third-party copyrights or open source license terms. You are responsible for determining whether your use of Output requires a third-party license and for complying with any such license. ### 3. Development and Improvement Using Your Input and Output We use your Inputs to generate Outputs and provide the AI Features. You also grant GitHub and its Affiliates a license to collect and use your Inputs and Outputs to develop , train and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning models and technologies including those that power AI Features , unless (a) you opt out through your account settings , or (b) your use of the Service is governed by a GitHub Customer Agreement or volume licensing agreement. If you opt out , GitHub will not collect or use your Inputs and Outputs for the purposes described in this paragraph from the effective date of your opt-out going forward. Unless you opt out , GitHub's Affiliates may use your Inputs and Outputs under this license in accordance with their applicable privacy and contractual obligations. This license does not , however , permit GitHub or its Affiliates to share your Inputs or Outputs with third-party AI model providers for their own independent model training purposes. The license in this Section J.3 is in addition to , and does not limit , the rights granted to GitHub and its Affiliates under Sections D.4 and D.8. This license does not extend to Your Content stored in repositories that are not provided as Input to an AI Feature. The opt-out right described in this section applies solely to the use of your Inputs and Outputs as described in this section , and does not apply to the license granted in Sections D.4-D.8 or to any Content that does not constitute Input or Output (including Content stored in public repositories). ### 4. Disclaimers Output is provided "as-is" and subject to the disclaimers in Section O. Without limiting Section O: Output may be inaccurate , incomplete , or non-functional. Output may resemble third-party code , including code under open source licenses. We do not guarantee that Output is free of errors , vulnerabilities , or intellectual property claims. You are responsible for reviewing , testing , and validating any Output before use. ### 5. Your Responsibility and Indemnity You are responsible for your use of Output , including ensuring it complies with applicable law and does not infringe third-party rights. Your indemnity obligations in Section Q apply to your use of AI Features and Output , including claims arising from Output you incorporate into your products or services. ## K. Beta Previews **Short version:** *Beta Previews may not be supported or may change at any time. You may receive confidential information through those programs that must remain confidential while the program is private. We'd love your feedback to make our Beta Previews better.* ### 1. Subject to Change Beta Previews may not be supported and may be changed at any time without notice. In addition , Beta Previews are not subject to the same security measures and auditing to which the Service has been and is subject. **By using a Beta Preview , you use it at your own risk.** ### 2. Confidentiality As a user of Beta Previews , you may get access to special information that isn’t available to the rest of the world. Due to the sensitive nature of this information , it’s important for us to make sure that you keep that information secret. **Confidentiality Obligations.** You agree that any non-public Beta Preview information we give you , such as information about a private Beta Preview , will be considered GitHub’s confidential information (collectively , “Confidential Information”) , regardless of whether it is marked or identified as such. You agree to only use such Confidential Information for the express purpose of testing and evaluating the Beta Preview (the “Purpose”) , and not for any other purpose. You should use the same degree of care as you would with your own confidential information , but no less than reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use , disclosure , publication , or dissemination of our Confidential Information. You promise not to disclose , publish , or disseminate any Confidential Information to any third party , unless we don’t otherwise prohibit or restrict such disclosure (for example , you might be part of a GitHub-organized group discussion about a private Beta Preview feature). **Exceptions.** Confidential Information will not include information that is: (a) or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement through no act or inaction on your part (such as when a private Beta Preview becomes a public Beta Preview); (b) known to you before we disclose it to you; (c) independently developed by you without breach of any confidentiality obligation to us or any third party; or (d) disclosed with permission from GitHub. You will not violate the terms of this Agreement if you are required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to operation of law , provided GitHub has been given reasonable advance written notice to object , unless prohibited by law. ### 3. Feedback We’re always trying to improve our products and services , and your feedback as a Beta Preview user will help us do that. If you choose to give us any ideas , know-how , algorithms , code contributions , suggestions , enhancement requests , recommendations or any other feedback for our products or services (collectively , “Feedback”) , you acknowledge and agree that GitHub will have a royalty-free , fully paid-up , worldwide , transferable , sub-licensable , irrevocable and perpetual license to implement , use , modify , commercially exploit and/or incorporate the Feedback into our products , services , and documentation. ## L. Payment **Short version:** *You are responsible for any fees associated with your use of GitHub. We are responsible for communicating those fees to you clearly and accurately , and letting you know well in advance if those prices change.* ### 1. Pricing Our pricing and payment terms are available at [github.com/pricing](https://github.com/pricing). If you agree to a subscription price , that will remain your price for the duration of the payment term; however , prices are subject to change at the end of a payment term. ### 2. Upgrades , Downgrades , and Changes * We will immediately bill you when you upgrade from the free plan to any paying plan. * If you change from a monthly billing plan to a yearly billing plan , GitHub will bill you for a full year at the next monthly billing date. * If you upgrade to a higher level of service , we will bill you for the upgraded plan immediately. * You may change your level of service at any time by [choosing a plan option](https://github.com/pricing) or going into your [Billing settings](https://github.com/settings/billing). If you choose to downgrade your Account , you may lose access to Content , features , or capacity of your Account. Please see our section on [Cancellation](#m-cancellation-and-termination) for information on getting a copy of that Content. ### 3. Billing Schedule; No Refunds **Payment Based on Plan** For monthly or yearly payment plans , the Service is billed in advance on a monthly or yearly basis respectively and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service , downgrade refunds , or refunds for months unused with an open Account; however , the service will remain active for the length of the paid billing period. In order to treat everyone equally , no exceptions will be made. **Payment Based on Usage** Some Service features are billed based on your usage. A limited quantity of these Service features may be included in your plan for a limited term without additional charge. If you choose to use paid Service features beyond the quantity included in your plan , you pay for those Service features based on your actual usage in the preceding month. Monthly payment for these purchases will be charged on a periodic basis in arrears. See [GitHub Additional Product Terms for Details](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-for-additional-products-and-features). **Invoicing** For invoiced Users , User agrees to pay the fees in full , up front without deduction or setoff of any kind , in U.S. Dollars. User must pay the fees within thirty (30) days of the GitHub invoice date. Amounts payable under this Agreement are non-refundable , except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. If User fails to pay any fees on time , GitHub reserves the right , in addition to taking any other action at law or equity , to (i) charge interest on past due amounts at 1.0% per month or the highest interest rate allowed by law , whichever is less , and to charge all expenses of recovery , and (ii) terminate the applicable order form. User is solely responsible for all taxes , fees , duties and governmental assessments (except for taxes based on GitHub's net income) that are imposed or become due in connection with this Agreement. ### 4. Authorization By agreeing to these Terms , you are giving us permission to charge your on-file credit card , PayPal account , or other approved methods of payment for fees that you authorize for GitHub. ### 5. Responsibility for Payment You are responsible for all fees , including taxes , associated with your use of the Service. By using the Service , you agree to pay GitHub any charge incurred in connection with your use of the Service. If you dispute the matter , contact us through the [GitHub Support portal](https://support.github.com/). You are responsible for providing us with a valid means of payment for paid Accounts. Free Accounts are not required to provide payment information. ## M. Cancellation and Termination **Short version:** *You may close your Account at any time. If you do , we'll treat your information responsibly.* ### 1. Account Cancellation It is your responsibility to properly cancel your Account with GitHub. You can [cancel your Account at any time](/en/billing/how-tos/manage-plan-and-licenses/downgrade-plan) by going into your Settings in the global navigation bar at the top of the screen. The Account screen provides a simple , no questions asked cancellation link. We are not able to cancel Accounts in response to an email or phone request. ### 2. Upon Cancellation We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations , resolve disputes , and enforce our agreements , but barring legal requirements , we will delete your full profile and the Content of your repositories within 90 days of cancellation or termination (though some information may remain in encrypted backups). This information cannot be recovered once your Account is canceled. We will not delete Content that you have contributed to other Users' repositories or that other Users have forked.

Theme: Ancient Water Conservancy Main palette: Sand path , sand , orange Structural method: another paper construction Micro scene: a tiny Walking march , performance Event details: 02 October , 05:30 am , Start Aspect ratio: 16:9 Design a historical and cultural poster with a modern Eastern editorial aesthetic , using "paper fibers + large color fields + micro-scenes" as the core visual language. Do not interpret traditional culture as stacking ancient architecture , calligraphy , auspicious clouds , or artifacts. Instead , first distill the Cultural Logic , then let large areas of handmade paper color fields directly carry structures , spaces , time , flow , order , or process relationships , so that viewers first see a strong and clear large form from afar , and only gradually discover the cultural narrative hidden within upon closer inspection. Use the dark green , sand style to establish 2–5 main paper color blocks of distinctly different sizes , maintaining low saturation but complete color intensity. All color blocks should have the authentic , rich texture of handmade paper , pulp , watercolor , or mineral pigments , with visible natural long and short fibers , pigment deposition , subtle impressions , large-scale natural color variations , and irregular torn paper edges. The overall effect should be matte , clean , and intact—avoid dirtiness , yellow spots , random speckles , cheap retro effects , or digital gradients. Based on the theme , let the color fields express the logic of system operations through folding , branching , interweaving , interlocking , offsetting , supporting , segmenting , enclosing , or negative space relationships , rather than simply serving as decorative backgrounds. Embed the Dadi march within the large color field structure , keeping figures and props at a very small scale , totaling about 3%–6% of the image area. Each scene must depict a clear action , with causal or temporal relationships between them , such as "entering → executing → recording → completing , " allowing the miniature figures to truly drive the narrative rather than just standing in poses. Figures' clothing in indian Freedom fighter style and artifacts should align with the theme's era and identity but remain restrained—avoid cinematic historical drama excess; scenes should only retain key props that illustrate systemic relationships , without cluttering with decorations or irrelevant cultural symbols. Typography should employ the editorial language of modern Eastern cultural institutions , museums , or archival exhibitions. The main title Dandi March should use refined Song typeface , publication-inspired Gujarati fonts , at a medium-small size that does not overpower the large color fields; supporting English text , dates , locations , and explanatory information should use even smaller sizes to create clear hierarchies. Subtle cinnabar seals , paper tags , archival labels , or node text may be added , but they must genuinely relate to the thematic logic—do not add them randomly just for a "Indian Freedom fighter style" feel. The overall reading order should be: large color field structures and color relationships → systemic or spatial logic → miniature figures' continuous narrative → main title and exhibition information. The final image should achieve a strong large form and visual impact from afar , revealing paper fibers , figure actions , and historical details up close , balancing design sensibility , narrative depth , and cultural completeness. Avoid book cover vibes , traditional Chinese illustration styles , screens full of ancient architecture , oversized titles , PPT-style rigid layouts , modern infographic arrows , meaningless English placeholders , element piling , commercial ad vibes , 3D CGI , glass textures , neon colors , logos , watermarks , numbering , and starburst decorations. ,

Theme: Freedom Fighters Memorial Aspect ratio: 9:16 Main palette: blue , dark green , orange Structural method: layered cutouts Micro scene: a tiny workshop , performance Event details: 02 October , 08:30 am , Dadi March Create a refined vertical cultural poster using tactile handmade paper , large color fields , structural composition , and a tiny narrative scene. Build the main visual with a clear paper based construction method. The composition may use layered apertures , framing , overlapping printed blocks , folded planes , or other physical paper relationships. Let the structure itself create depth , rhythm , and visual tension rather than relying on decorative graphics. All large paper areas should have realistic handmade texture , including visible fibers , pulp variation , pigment absorption , subtle pressure marks , irregular edges , and slight material imperfections. Keep the surfaces matte , clean , and sophisticated. Use strong but controlled color relationships. Large color fields should remain visually clear from a distance , while smaller overlaps , cut edges , shadows , folds , and paper thickness become visible only when viewed closely. Add one small micro scene related to the theme. Include two or three adult figures naturally performing the activity , such as cutting paper , operating a press , performing shadow theatre , folding structures , or arranging materials. Keep the entire scene around 3% to 5% of the poster so it remains a discovered detail rather than the main subject. Use generous warm ivory or neutral negative space to balance the large structural forms. Typography should be restrained and secondary. Use a refined editorial serif for the main title and small uppercase sans serif for supporting information. Keep the title relatively small and place it in a quiet area of the composition. The visual reading order should be: large paper structure first , color and material interaction second , micro scene third , title and event information last. The final result should feel contemporary , tactile , editorial , architectural , and handmade. From a distance , the poster should read as a strong abstract composition. Up close , it should reveal paper fibers , cut edges , folds , overlaps , print texture , tiny people , tools , and process. ,

Her long , flowing strawberry-blonde hair cascades over her shoulders , and her radiant smile reflects the warmth of the sunny day , accentuated by bold red hoop earrings. The scene is framed by lush greenery and a vibrant pathway , enhancing the carefree atmosphere. Sunlight casts gentle shadows , highlighting the cheerful mood , while her stylish 7 inch stiletto red strappy heels add a pop of color , completing the lively and feminine look.. ,

A surreal , semi‑abstract digital painting featuring a stylized , genie‑like character with elongated limbs and a serene , commanding expression. In the center , his outstretched palm cradles a luminous floating lamp that glows with iridescent pastel hues (peach , lavender , teal). Time seems to freeze: ripples of light emanate from the lamp in concentric circles , each wave slowing the surrounding environment. Above , a translucent , rotating digital screen hovers , its edges edged with glowing circuitry. Animated social‑media icons (a bird , a camera , a speech bubble) glide across the top of the screen in a smooth , looping motion , leaving behind delicate , trailing ribbons of color. From the lamp , an Aladdin‑inspired holographic chat window blossoms , its panels flickering with ancient Arabic calligraphy that morphs into modern emojis , all spiraling outward like a memory vortex. The background is a blend of abstract desert sands and futuristic neon grids , with swirling vortexes of light representing “social memories.” The color scheme is dreamlike—soft magentas , deep blues , and glowing gold—creating an otherworldly , magical‑time effect. ,

Generate an illustration of an Eastern deity in the style of Madhubani art sacred art , centering on the Zhong Kui and incorporating the Fire-Tipped Spear and Divine Beast to create a cohesive composition. Elements such as artifacts , wings , ghosts , ribbons , clouds , or divine manifestations must not serve merely as decoration; instead , they must collectively form clear structural patterns—such as diagonals , circles , S-curves , radial lines , or frontal subjugation poses—to imbue the image with a distinct sense of dynamic momentum (*shi*). The overall style should blend the aesthetics of traditional deity paintings , *Gongbi* heavy-color painting , *Baimiao* (fine-line drawing) , and ancient illustrated scrolls. The figure should appear solemn , divine , and imposing , avoiding the look of modern idols or game CG characters. Attire should follow traditional systems of divine robes , armor , and headdresses , incorporating continuous patterns such as cloud , thunder , scale , beast-face , meander (Greek key) , and scrolling vine motifs. Prioritize highly continuous Madhubani art line work: render hair , beards , and the fur or feathers of divine beasts with smooth , long lines that follow natural flow; depict clouds , garment hems , and ribbons using unbroken S-curves and C-curves; ensure that patterns on armor , crowns , and clothing are structurally complete and continuously closed. Minimize fragmented textures; avoid random short strokes , dense broken lines , jagged hair edges , or noise-like etching patterns. The color palette employs uniform , rich , and continuous traditional heavy mineral pigments. Centered around a core tone , it incorporates azurite blue , malachite green , ink-blue , antique gold , copper gold , cinnabar , ochre red , and ivory white. While low in saturation , the colors maintain high pigment density and transition naturally and smoothly along the forms; the finish should be free of mottling , fading , stains , graininess , or artificial distressing. The background features clean , warm-toned ivory *xuan* paper with extensive negative space , accented only by minimal continuous-line cloud motifs , vertical inscriptions , and cinnabar seals. The composition balances high information density in the subject matter with low density in the background. The overall aesthetic conveys the refined , fluid , cohesive , and professional quality of traditional Madhubani art painting with heavy mineral pigments on paper. Avoid: broken or fragmented lines , micro-fragmented textures , frizzy hair details , shattered cloud patterns , mottled coloring , faded or distressed effects , modern neon , 3D CG , screen-filling special effects , cluttered backgrounds , and large , modern poster-style headlines. ,

An 80-year-old grandfather with long , wild , white curly hair blowing in the wind speeds on a heavy motorcycle with sidecar down Route 66. he wears antique goggles and a leather vest. In the sidecar sits his granddaughter with an antique leather helmet and goggles , holding a pink plush teddy bear with windblown fur. The grandfather and granddaughter (and teddy) are joyful , experiencing freedom and speed. Dynamic POV shot , hyper-realistic , ultra-detailed , eye-catching. Impressive chiaroscuro lighting , with dust motes enhancing light effects. The sky is a dramatic sunset with sun rays and flares. Natural skin tones and textures with minor imperfections on figures. , The artwork is a highly detailed , whimsical , stylized illustration aesthetic with exaggerated cartoon character distortion. All subjects and objects are illustrated to highlight rough , messy textures. Structurally , all forms are highly simplified and caricatured (distorted cartoon anatomy) , featuring expressive deformation , asymmetrical wobbly lines , and exaggerated features in a highly detailed illustration style. The color palette remains a somber , muted Earth-tone harmony: deep charcoal-blacks , warm ochres , desaturated rusty oranges , and olive greens. Crucially , the lighting is chiaroscuro , brightly illuminating the subject and utilizing dramatic spotlights to carve forms out of the shadows , ensuring the textures and distorted features are clearly visible against the dark , weathered studio void. The composition features a shallow depth of field , focused on a centrally isolated subject. The background is simple and minimal gouache gradient in a neutral midtone color. The overall feel is that of a complex illustrated storybook. ,

Create a 9:16 experimental character poster using a close or waist-up portrait with expressive body language. Keep most of the portrait in high-contrast black and white , then add a clear halftone screen-print effect. Use finer dots on the face and denser dots in the hair , clothing and shadows , so it feels like a printed zine rather than simple photo grain. Add one color scan window through an important part of the portrait. It can run vertically across the eye , face and hand , horizontally through the eyes and gesture , or extend from the face down into the collar and body. Inside this window , return to clean high-resolution photography with realistic cool-neutral skin , blue-grey shadows and natural lip tones. Keep it crisp and free of halftone texture so the contrast between “printed portrait” and “real detail” feels obvious. Use oversized condensed typography as part of the composition rather than placing a title in empty space. Let the letters crop off the canvas , overlap the body , pass behind the subject or cut across the scan window. Keep the palette restrained: black , white and cool grey as the base , then one cool blue and one muted red / burgundy as accents. Only add a few small identity-style labels such as “IDENTITY TRACE” , “SUBJECT ACTIVE” , “GESTURE READ” or “FEATURE ACTIVE”. A few thin lines , circles and open corner marks are enough. The final image should feel like a mix of youth-culture poster , printed zine , character dossier and experimental magazine editorial. Avoid warm yellow grading , multiple random scan windows , floating facial features , heavy glitch effects , dense UI graphics , long paragraphs , numbering , Vol./Issue labels , sparkle symbols , logos or watermarks. ,

A top‑down perspective reveals a calm ocean transformed into a soft , pastel‑green pasture. At its heart floats a massive eagle ray , its silhouette a smooth , body‑shaped void. Inside this void rests a woman in a striking red gown , her body lying horizontal , arms outstretched toward the faint , amber‑glow surface , as if trying to break free. Thin , pale chains are bound to her ankles , disappearing into the dark , muted depths below. The water is pale and still , with only a few gentle drops breaking the surface. Surrounding the ray , gentle waves merge seamlessly into the faint outlines of faces and forms , creating a dreamlike , poetic tableau. Color scheme: warm grey , amber light , with accents of deep sea teal. Mood: contemplative , ethereal , and slightly melancholic. ,

A close portrait of a young woman standing on a bright sandy beach with gentle ocean waves rolling behind her under a pale blue sky.
