<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Moming, I don't think your hypothetical works as stated under the definition of Model Materials. Model Materials means the materials "provided to you" under the agreement. A
provider's server-side store of user inputs is never provided to the user and is therefore not part of any user's Model Materials. A user of a hosted API typically receives no Model Materials at all and needs no copyright license to use a hosted service; the
provider's terms of service govern that relationship, not this license. A claim that a provider is misusing your inputs is a claim about the provider's conduct, not a claim that materials provided to you infringe. I do not see how OpenMDW would apply in this
scenario, as that conduct likely falls under their terms of use or service agreement.</span></p>

are not bound by this license, the acceptance clause <i>(</i></span><span style="font-family: -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><i>By exercising rights granted to you under this agreement, you accept

<span style="font-family: -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(29, 29, 43);">3) So if a vector database for RAG ships with the model as part of the release, it is provided to the user. In that case, claiming my
work stored in it would trigger Paragraph 5.</span></p>
