The agreement between you and Planetary.Blue when you use Foundry by BIRI™.
Effective date: set at launch · Last updated: 7 November 2026
1. About these terms
These terms govern your use of Foundry by BIRI™ ("Foundry"), which is operated by Planetary.Blue ("we", "us", "our"), a company registered in Singapore. By using Foundry you agree to these terms. If you use Foundry for an organisation, you confirm that you may accept these terms for it.
Your BIRI™ account has its own terms. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data.
2. Who can use Foundry
Foundry is intended for researchers, professionals and organisations. You need a BIRI account to sign in, and you must meet the requirements for holding one. Foundry is currently offered to Planetary.Blue's own teams and to people they invite, and may be opened to other organisations later.
3. Your account
You sign in with your BIRI account. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in and any API keys confidential, and for what happens under your account. Tell us straight away at support@biri.blue if you think someone else has used it.
4. Projects and roles
Each project has an owner, who decides who is on it, what role each person has, what its steps are, and when a step is done. A decision recorded on a step is kept as a permanent record of the project, with the name of the person who made it. By using a project you accept that your name stays on what you did there, including after you leave it.
5. Your content
You keep all rights in what you write and upload to Foundry. You give us a limited licence to host, copy, process and display that content, only as needed to provide Foundry to you and the people on your project. This covers search and the chat. We do not use your content to train artificial intelligence models.
You are responsible for your content. You confirm that you have the right to put it in Foundry, including any personal data, client information or material belonging to others, and that doing so does not break the law or any duty of confidence.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
break the law, or infringe anyone's rights;
try to reach a project, account or data you have no right to;
test, probe or get around Foundry's security, except with our written permission;
disrupt or overload Foundry, or spread malicious code;
use automated means to scrape Foundry or BIRI data;
use Foundry to mislead others about the source or reliability of information.
7. AI features
The chat uses the AI provider and key that you connect. Your use of that provider is governed by your agreement with it, and you are responsible for its charges. When you use the chat, your question and passages from your project's documents are sent to that provider.
AI output can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, even when it cites a source. Check it before relying on it. It is not professional, legal, financial or investment advice. Foundry's AI does not decide anything for you: a person records every decision.
8. BIRI references and ratings
Foundry shows BIRI references and ratings exactly as BIRI returns them. A rating is an assessment of the organisation publishing the information, not a statement that any particular claim is true, and it is not advice. Each chat question uses one of your BIRI searches, under the terms of your BIRI account.
9. Other services
Foundry links to and works with services we do not run, including AI providers and websites referenced in answers. We are not responsible for them or for what they do with your information.
10. Our rights
Foundry, its software, design and the names Foundry and BIRI belong to us or our licensors. These terms give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Foundry. You may not copy, resell or reverse engineer it, except where the law allows this regardless. If you send us feedback, we may use it without owing you anything.
11. Fees
Pricing for Foundry has not been set. We will tell you any price, and how it renews and can be cancelled, before you are asked to pay. BIRI plans and AI providers charge separately under their own terms.
12. Changes and availability
We may change, add or remove features, and Foundry may sometimes be unavailable. We try to keep your work safe, but you should keep your own copies of anything important, for example by exporting it.
13. Suspending or ending access
You may stop using Foundry at any time. To ask us to delete your account or data, write to the address in our privacy policy. A project's owner may remove you from a project at any time.
We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect Foundry or other people. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you first. If your access ends, you may lose access to your projects, so keep copies of what you need.
14. No warranties
Foundry is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we give no warranties, whether express or implied, including that Foundry will be uninterrupted or error-free, that an export will be perfect, or that any content, AI output or rating is accurate or fit for your purpose. Please check any document before you rely on it or send it onward.
15. Limits on liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Otherwise, to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, business, goodwill or data. Our total liability to you for all claims relating to Foundry is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for Foundry in the 12 months before the claim and SGD 100.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version. Where a change is material, we will give notice through Foundry or by email before it takes effect. If you do not accept a change, you should stop using Foundry before it takes effect.
17. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except where the law of your country gives you rights that cannot be taken away. If part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
