Note 2: Intellectual property, confidentiality, and exploitation conditions are governed by the applicable NOVA regulations, the CITADELS consortium framework, and any project- or service-specific agreements. Background IP remains with the original rightsholders. Foreground generated through collaborative or service activities will be managed according to the applicable contractual framework, including provisions on ownership, access rights, confidentiality, dissemination, and exploitation. Additional NDAs, data-processing agreements, or specific IP clauses may apply depending on the nature of the data, software, models, or other assets involved.
Note 3: Access is granted on a project-based or institutionally approved basis, subject to feasibility assessment, resource availability, compliance with data protection and security requirements, and acceptance of the applicable terms and conditions. Special arrangements may apply for CITADELS secondments and other approved visiting researcher schemes. Where sensitive, proprietary, or regulated assets are involved, additional safeguards may be required before access is enabled.
Note 4: The NOVA-CIDADE-L3-Test network is built on Arbitrum Orbit, which is released under the Business Source License (BSL 1.1). Under this license, the software may be freely used for non-production, research, and educational purposes. Deployment in a production or commercial environment may require a separate license from Offchain Labs. Users intending to build commercially exploitable applications on this network should seek independent legal advice and, where required, obtain the appropriate license before proceeding. NOVA IMS makes no representations regarding the suitability of this infrastructure for any specific commercial purpose.
