Licensing & Compliance
iDharma provides a secure, transparent foundation for AI adoption—governed by clear licensing terms and industry-aligned compliance standards.
Whether you're hiring a consultant, buying a tool, or deploying a custom solution, you operate under a system built for accountability, trust, and legal clarity.
Why Licensing & Compliance Matter
AI work involves intellectual property, data handling, and regulated use cases.
iDharma ensures that all platform engagements—including services, software, and deployments—follow clearly defined licensing structures and compliance protocols.
Licensing Standards
Every tool, product, or solution on iDharma must disclose licensing details at the time of listing or project engagement.
| Licensing Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Commercial License | Usage rights granted for internal or client-facing business applications |
| Subscription or SaaS License | Recurring access to hosted software with service terms defined |
| Source-Limited License | Access to deployed model/API with no source transfer |
| Custom License | Terms negotiated between client and vendor; reviewed for alignment with platform terms |
| Open Source with Commercial Support | Public codebase with paid implementation or support add-ons |
| Full IP Transfer | Ownership of the tool or codebase transferred to client, per contract |
iDharma supports licensing flexibility—but all terms must be documented, auditable, and aligned with ethical AI usage.
Platform Licensing Infrastructure
- Tool listings must declare license type, usage scope, and any restrictions
- Custom projects must include deliverable ownership terms in the contract
- Milestone-based releases must tie to licensing rights (e.g., code access, support, deployment)
- Platform-native templates are available for common licensing scenarios
Compliance Frameworks
iDharma aligns with global and regional AI and data handling frameworks, including:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation – EU)
- ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management Systems)
- OECD AI Principles
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF)
- Local sector-specific standards for finance, healthcare, and education
Vendor Responsibilities
Vendors and consultants must:
- Disclose how their tools handle data, security, and model updates
- Indicate whether their solution includes open-source dependencies and license obligations
- Notify clients of license renewal, termination, or IP limitations
- Ensure licensing terms are honored during and after delivery
Buyer & Client Responsibilities
Buyers must:
- Review and understand licensing terms before purchase or engagement
- Abide by agreed scope of use (e.g., number of users, geographic restrictions)
- Avoid reverse engineering or unauthorized redistribution (unless permitted)
- Request clarification when needed—iDharma Governance is available for interpretation support
Enforcement & Moderation
Violations of licensing terms or regulatory alignment may result in:
- Delisting of tools or service profiles
- Dispute mediation or payment suspension
- Permanent removal from the platform for repeat or severe offenses
- Legal referral if necessary to protect clients, vendors, or end-users
All disputes related to licensing or compliance are handled under iDharma's platform dispute resolution process.
