Intellectual Property & Copyright Policy

1. Ownership of User-Generated Content and Decision Inputs

• Users retain full intellectual property ownership over all personal, professional, business, project, hiring, and career data, inputs, documents, and problem descriptions submitted to the Kuranko platform.
• Kuranko does not claim copyright or proprietary ownership rights over any decision-making scenarios, strategic inputs, or custom plans created by users on the platform.
• By uploading or inputting content into Kuranko, users grant the platform a limited, non-exclusive license strictly necessary to process, analyze, and generate AI-assisted recommendations, risk assessments, and actionable plans for the user.
• Users warrant that they possess the legal right and necessary permissions to share any third-party data, business metrics, or confidential information entered into the Kuranko platform for decision analysis.
• Kuranko respects the confidentiality of all proprietary business inputs and ensures that user-specific decision models are not shared with unauthorized third parties or competing users.

2. Intellectual Property Rights of the Kuranko Platform

• All software, algorithms, user interfaces, platform designs, text, graphics, logos, and proprietary methodologies utilized by Kuranko constitute protected intellectual property under United Kingdom and international copyright laws.
• The Kuranko brand, trade name, and platform architecture are exclusive assets of Kuranko and may not be copied, reproduced, or exploited without explicit written authorization.
• Users are granted a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to access and use the Kuranko platform strictly for personal and legitimate business decision-making purposes in accordance with our terms of service.
• Reverse engineering, decompiling, scraping, or attempting to extract the underlying source code, AI decision models, or proprietary analytical frameworks of Kuranko is strictly prohibited.
• Unauthorized commercial redistribution, resale, or white-labeling of Kuranko decision outputs, risk analyses, or AI-generated recommendations infringes upon our intellectual property rights.

3. Copyright Protection and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) / UK Copyright Compliance

• Kuranko respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users of the platform to do the same when formulating decisions and uploading supporting evidence.
• If any individual or business believes that their copyrighted work has been infringed upon or improperly utilized within the Kuranko platform, a formal notice must be submitted to our legal department.
• Copyright infringement notices must include identification of the copyrighted work, the specific location of the infringing material on the Kuranko website, and contact details of the complaining party.
• Upon receipt of a valid infringement notification, Kuranko will promptly investigate the matter and remove or disable access to the disputed content where legally required.
• Users who repeatedly upload infringing or unauthorized intellectual property risk immediate termination of their access to the Kuranko platform.

4. AI-Generated Recommendations, Content Curation, and Ownership Boundaries

• AI-generated recommendations, decision analyses, evidence evaluations, risk assessments, trade-off identifications, and actionable plans generated by Kuranko represent a synthesis of algorithmic processing and user inputs.
• While users own the final customized decision plans generated for their specific use cases, the underlying algorithmic pathways, prompts, and analytical templates remain the exclusive intellectual property of Kuranko.
• Kuranko makes no exclusive ownership claims over standard industry data or public domain information utilized by the AI to evaluate options and compare choices.
• Users acknowledge that similar decision scenarios inputted by different users may yield distinct analytical outputs based on specific variable weightings, and Kuranko retains rights to aggregated, anonymized decision metrics for platform improvement.
• AI-generated recommendations are strictly advisory in nature, meaning users retain sole ownership of, and ultimate responsibility for, their final decisions and subsequent actions.

5. Permitted Use, Licensing Restrictions, and Commercial Limitations

• Users may utilize Kuranko outputs—such as project plans, hiring frameworks, and business strategies—for their internal personal or organizational decision-making processes.
• Publicly publishing, syndicating, or selling bulk AI-generated reports produced by Kuranko as standalone advisory products without prior written consent violates platform licensing terms.
• Enterprise users integrating Kuranko into internal workflows must ensure that usage complies with corporate licensing agreements and does not breach intellectual property boundaries.
• Automated data harvesting, web scraping, and unauthorized extraction of analytical templates from Kuranko are strictly monitored and legally actionable.
• Any unauthorized exploitation of Kuranko’s platform mechanics, decision evaluation frameworks, or risk-scoring algorithms will result in immediate legal recourse.

6. User Responsibilities Regarding Confidentiality and Third-Party Rights

• Users bear sole responsibility for ensuring that any data, trade secrets, personal information, or proprietary business details entered into Kuranko do not violate third-party intellectual property or confidentiality agreements.
• Inputting classified government data, unauthorized personal identifiable information (PII) of third parties, or legally protected intellectual property belonging to former employers into the Kuranko platform is strictly prohibited.
• Users agree to indemnify and hold Kuranko harmless from any intellectual property disputes, copyright infringement claims, or legal liabilities arising from unauthorized data inputs.
• When evaluating business partners, hiring candidates, or purchasing options through Kuranko, users must ensure their evidence collection complies with applicable privacy and data protection laws.
• Kuranko disclaims all liability for user misuse of third-party intellectual property during the problem-solving and decision-making process.

7. Trademarks, Branding, and Corporate Identity Guidelines

• Third parties may not use Kuranko trademarks in a manner that implies endorsement, sponsorship, or false affiliation with corporate products or external services.
• Mentioning Kuranko in professional reports, academic papers, or media publications is permitted provided proper attribution is given to the platform as an AI Decision Collaborator.
• Misusing Kuranko branding to mislead consumers or misrepresent AI-generated recommendations as certified professional, legal, or financial advice is strictly prohibited.
