Terms of Use

1. Nature of the Service

Access to the Lab is granted exclusively for research, testing, and governance architecture experimentation purposes. By using the Lab, you confirm that you understand and accept its experimental nature.

2. Access Conditions

Access to the Lab is by invitation only. Registration requires manual review and explicit approval by the Lab administrator. There is no entitlement to access and no obligation on the part of the administrator to grant, maintain, or justify access decisions.

Each researcher is assigned a unique Lab Code. This code is personal and non-transferable. Sharing your Lab Code with third parties is grounds for immediate access revocation.

3. Access Revocation

Access revocation does not entitle the user to any form of compensation, refund, or data export. Upon revocation, access to the platform is immediately terminated.

4. Research Data Confidentiality

Data submitted through the Lab is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• Executing the governance architecture experiment you submitted the intake for.
• Displaying the evidentiary profile result in your personal Lab session.
• Internal research and development of the EVIDE governance architecture.

What we do not do with your data:

• We do not sell, license, or transfer your intake data to any third party.
• We do not use your intake payloads for commercial purposes.
• We do not publish, disclose, or make accessible your intake sessions to other researchers or the public without your explicit written consent.
• We do not train machine learning models on your submitted payloads.

5. Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

You are not required to submit real proprietary data to test the Lab. The API accepts synthetic, anonymized, or placeholder payloads that are architecturally valid. All curl examples and API guides use placeholder values for this reason. Governance architecture behavior can be fully observed without exposing any proprietary system information.

6. Data Submitted by Researchers

Intake sessions, governance payloads, and any data submitted through the Lab API or web interface are treated as research data. By submitting data to the Lab, you confirm that:

• You have the right to submit the data for research purposes.
• The data does not contain sensitive personal data of third parties without appropriate legal basis.
• You do not expect the Lab to act as a secure, confidential, or legally privileged archive for the submitted data.

The Lab administrator may access submitted data solely for research, development, and improvement of the governance architecture under study, subject to the confidentiality commitments in sections 4 and 5 above.

7. No Warranties — No SLA

The Lab is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. No uptime guarantee, data retention commitment, or service level agreement is offered or implied. The platform may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without notice.

The Lab administrator accepts no liability for loss of data, interruption of service, or any damage arising from the use of or inability to use the platform.

8. Intellectual Property

The EVIDE Governance Lab architecture, schemas, APIs, documentation, and research outputs are the intellectual property of Informatica in Azienda — Emanuel Celano. Researchers may use and reference Lab outputs for non-commercial research purposes with appropriate attribution.

Any publication, presentation, or public reference to research conducted in the Lab must acknowledge the EVIDE Governance Lab as the experimental environment.

9. Acceptable Use

The Lab may not be used for:

• Commercial purposes or client deliverables without explicit written authorization.
• Submitting data that violates applicable law, third-party rights, or privacy regulations.
• Attempting to circumvent authentication, access controls, or quota systems.
• Automated bulk submissions beyond assigned daily quotas.
• Any activity that could compromise the integrity, availability, or security of the platform.
