Certain Llama models

Llama models are trained and developed by Meta Platforms Inc. Use of Llama 3 and Llama 4 models as Foundry Models sold by Azure in Microsoft Foundry Models is subject to – and Meta Platforms Inc. is an intended third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce – the following additional terms: 

• Commercial Terms. If the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Customer, or its affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, Customer is not authorized to use or access the Llama models unless or until Meta expressly grants Customer such rights.

• Restrictions. If Customer is an individual domiciled in, or a company with a principal place of business in, the European Union, Customer is not permitted to, and agrees not to, use Microsoft Foundry Models to access any multimodal Llama models that may be made available via Foundry Models sold by Azure. This restriction does not apply to end users of Customer's integrated product that incorporate any such multimodal models.

• Indemnification. Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Meta from and against any claim by any third party arising out of or related to Customer's use or distribution of the Llama models.

• High Risk Use. Customer agrees not to use, or to allow others to use, the Llama models to engage in, promote, incite, facilitate, or assist in the planning or development of activities that present a risk of death or bodily harm to individuals, including use of the Llama models related to military, warfare, nuclear industries or applications, espionage, or use for materials or activities that are subject to the International Traffic Arms Regulations (ITAR) maintained by the United States Department of State or to the U.S. Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 or to the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1997. 

• Attribution. If customer utilizes any Llama models (or any derivative works thereof, including via model distillation) within a product or service, Customer shall prominently display "Built with Llama" on a related website, user interface, blog post, "About" page or product documentation. Customer must also include an attribution notice in an "About", "Licenses", "Notice", or similar web page or text-based file which includes: "Llama [Version #] is licensed under the Llama [Version #] Community License, Copyright © Meta Platforms, Inc. All Rights Reserved" (and Customer will include the applicable version number for the relevant Llama AI model within the "[Version #]" placeholder in such notice). For clarity, if Customer's end users use or receive the Llama models (or any derivative works thereof) from Customer as part of use of Customer's integrated product, then this requirement does not apply to any such end users. 

Black Forest Labs models

Black Forest Labs models are trained and developed by Black Forest Labs Inc. Use of Black Forest Labs models in Microsoft Foundry Models is subject to – and Black Forest Labs Inc. is an intended third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce – the following additional terms:

• Customer Application; End Users. If Customer integrates any of the Black Forest Labs models or any Derivatives into a service, website, and/or application ("Customer Application"), then Customer must bind the end users of the Customer Application ("End Users") to an enforceable end user agreement, acceptable use policy, and privacy policy that contains terms no less protected of Black Forest Labs than those set forth in this agreement and in the Black Forest Labs' Usage Policy. If Customer becomes aware, or if Black Forest Labs reasonably suspects, that an End User is not in compliance with any such agreement, then Customer must immediately terminate such End User's access to and use of the Black Forest Labs models or Derivatives, and take any other steps as reasonably requested by Black Forest Labs. Customer will provide access to Black Forest Labs models to End Users only in accordance with these terms and Customer is solely responsible for all activities that occur on the Customer Application, under End User accounts, or by End Users. Customer represents and warrants to Black Forest Labs that the Customer Application will, at all times, comply with applicable laws. If Customer breaches any of these terms, all licenses granted with respect to use of Black Forest Labs models will terminate automatically. For purposes of these additional terms for Black Forest Labs models, "Derivatives" means anything that would be considered a derivative of a Black Forest Labs model under law and, whether or not considered a derivative under law, any modified version of a Black Forest Labs model (including but not limited to any fine-tuned version thereof). 

• BFL Outputs. The Black Forest Labs models and Derivatives may generate the same or similar BFL Output for other users, and use of the Black Forest Labs models and Derivatives may result in incorrect, obscene, or unreal BFL Output. As between Customer and Black Forest Labs, Customer is responsible for the BFL Outputs generated via the Customer Application. Customer evaluate BFL Outputs and assess the suitability for use of Black Forest Labs models. When using Black Forest Labs models or Derivatives in the Customer Application, Customer (i) shall not represent that BFL Output was human-generated; (ii) acknowledge that BFL Outputs may not be unique across users and Black Forest Labs models may generate the same or similar BFL Output for multiple users; (iii) acknowledge that BFL Outputs may contain "hallucinations" and may be inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate, or otherwise unsuited to Customer's purpose. Customer may not use, or direct third parties to use, the Black Forest Labs models or Derivatives to generate BFL Output for the purpose of creating synthetic training data to develop or train AI models or systems that have substantially similar functionality to the Black Forest Labs models. As between Customer and Black Forest Labs, Black Forest Labs claims no ownership rights in and to Customer's BFL Output.
