8. AI and Competitive-Use Restrictions

You may not use the Platform, Customer Data, Outputs, Custom AI Modes, Case Memory, or any other Platform materials to:

1. train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, validate, or improve a competing artificial-intelligence model, system, service, software product, legal-technology platform, or database;
2. extract or reconstruct Angus system prompts, orchestration methods, retrieval methods, workflows, model-routing logic, architecture, or underlying technical methods;
3. create a competing product using systematic Output collection, automated querying, reverse engineering, or model-extraction techniques;
4. use automated prompts, scripts, agents, or tools to generate or collect Outputs at a scale intended to substitute for Platform access or reproduce Platform functionality; or
5. evade token limits, plan limits, API limits, or other usage restrictions.

This restriction does not limit Customer’s lawful use of Customer’s own work product or Customer Data outside the Platform, provided Customer does not use Angus proprietary technology, non-public Platform information, or systematically collected Outputs to develop or operate a competing service.
