Version 1.0 · Hong Kong law
Short, because the parts that matter are few: what you may do with the audio, what we may publish about your system, and who keeps the intellectual property. The answers are no redistribution, your score with its uncertainty, and you.

These terms apply to anyone with an account: entrants, their team members, and raters. Accepting them is a condition of the account being issued, and a material change requires acceptance again before the account continues to work.
Entry is by invitation or approved request. We may decline an application without giving reasons, and we may withdraw an account for a breach of these terms or of the rules.
You receive a licence to use the sample pack and any streamed audio for one purpose: taking part in this benchmark. That licence is non-transferable and ends when the edition closes.
You may not:
Each copy of the sample pack names its recipient inside the archive. That is how a leak is traced, and it is why a colleague who needs the data should sign in and take their own copy rather than receive yours.
We publish your score, its confidence interval, the pillars you entered, and your submission mode. We publish under a codename unless you opt into being named — that choice is yours, reversible until publication, and fixed afterwards.
We do not publish your per-clip output, your endpoint address, your system description, or anything you tell us in support. A result once published stands: withdrawing after publication removes you from future editions, not from the record of this one.
You may state your own result publicly. If you do, state the edition and the interval alongside it — quoting a point estimate as a rank, when the published finding is a shared band, misrepresents the benchmark and we will say so.
Do not attempt to identify other entrants, interfere with their runs, or probe the platform outside your own account. Do not attempt to influence a rater or a judge — including through text your system emits, which is inspected for exactly that.
Report a security issue to [email protected] rather than demonstrating it. We will not pursue anyone who reports a genuine finding in good faith and gives us a reasonable chance to fix it.
The platform is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, and a benchmark result is a measurement of one system on one corpus at one time — not a certification, an endorsement, or advice to buy anything.
Where a run fails because of us, the remedy is that the run is voided, does not consume quota, and can be re-run. That is the extent of it. Neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Every version is numbered and dated, and your acceptance is recorded against the version you accepted. If we change anything material, you accept the new version before your account continues to work, and the previous version stays available so you can see what changed.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the Hong Kong courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
