AI Licensing Terms
Last updated: September 18, 2026
Everything published on l3vlup.com is original work: the guides, the glossary, the programme pages, the company and fund research, the practice banks and the rubrics behind them. These terms set out what may be done with that work. They apply to every page on the site and to every automated agent that reads one.
The same terms are published in machine-readable form at /rsl.xml, using the RSL 1.0 standard, and are associated with this site from robots.txt.
1. Permitted without a licence
Traditional search-engine indexing and linking are permitted. A search engine may crawl the site, index its pages, store the content necessary to serve that index, display a conventional result with a title, a short snippet and a link, and send readers here. That is how candidates find the tracker and the guides, and it is welcome.
People are free to read, quote briefly with attribution, and share links to any public page.
2. Requires prior written permission and a commercial licence
The following uses are not permitted without prior written permission from L3VLUP and a commercial licence agreed in advance:
- AI training. Using any part of the site as training, fine-tuning, distillation, evaluation or benchmark data for a machine learning model.
- Ingestion. Bulk collection, scraping, copying or storage of the site's content into a dataset, corpus, archive or content store for machine consumption.
- Internal AI indexing. Building or maintaining a vector index, embedding store, knowledge base or similar internal representation derived from the content.
- Retrieval-augmented generation and grounding. Retrieving the content at query time to ground, cite or condition the output of an AI system, including AI search answers, assistants, agents and summarisers.
- Generative use. Producing derived, summarised, restated or synthesised output from the content, whether or not that output is attributed and whether or not it is distributed publicly.
This applies to commercial and non-commercial systems alike, and to agents operating on behalf of an end user as well as to crawlers operating on their own schedule.
3. Licensing enquiries
Licences are available and enquiries are answered. Write to suro@l3vlup.com with the systems involved, the scope of the intended use and the volume of content required, and terms will be quoted.
Permission is granted in writing or not at all. No other channel, and no absence of a response, constitutes a licence.
4. No retroactive permission
These terms do not grant retroactive permission. Nothing on this page authorises, ratifies or settles any use of the content that took place before a licence was agreed in writing, and publishing these terms is not a waiver of any right in respect of such earlier use. A licence agreed today covers the uses it names from the date it takes effect, and no earlier.
5. Changes
These terms may be updated. The version in force is the one published here and at /rsl.xml at the time of access, and the date above says when it last changed.
