  # Dataset Terms of Use

  **Verifee Research** (hereinafter **“Licensor”**), composed of **Michal
  Bravanský** and **Filip Trhlík** (hereinafter **“Authors”**), strive to
  enhance public access to and use of the data whose collection, annotation, and
  publication they executed. The data (Czech news articles with information
  regarding their manipulative attributes) are organized in a dataset (the
  **“Dataset”**), presented at https://verifee.ai/research (the **“Website”**).
  The Dataset is a collection of data, managed by the Licensor and provided in
  several machine-readable formats.


  ## Terms of Use

  Licensor provides any individual or entity (hereinafter **“You”** or
  **“Your”**) with access to the Dataset free of charge subject to the terms of
  this agreement (hereinafter **“Dataset Terms”**). Use of any data derived from
  the Dataset, which may appear in any formats such as tables, charts, devkit,
  documentation, or code, is also subject to these Dataset Terms. By downloading
  the provided Dataset or using this Dataset, **You are agreeing to be bound by
  the Dataset Terms**. If you are downloading the provided Dataset or using this
  Dataset for an organization, you are agreeing to these Dataset Terms on behalf
  of that organization. **If you do not have the right to agree to these Dataset
  Terms on behalf of your organization, do not download or use the Dataset.**


  ## License

  This Dataset is provided to You under **Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike
  4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)**, with the additional terms
  included in these Dataset Terms. Your rights and obligations stemming from the
  CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 may be found at
  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/. When You download or use
  the provided Dataset, You are agreeing to comply with the terms of CC BY-NC-SA
  4.0, including a **strict ban on any commercial applications**. Note that any
  product which leverages the Dataset and/or observations from it needs to
  adhere to the complete Dataset Terms, too.


  - If you wish to use the Dataset outside the boundary of CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
  (e.g., use it for commercial purposes), You must contact the Licensor at
  **info@verifee.ai**.

  - A personalized license agreement and conditions may be set up only when the
  majority of Authors agree to pursue such a deal.


  ## Ethical Standards

  You must adhere to the **Ethical Standards** and follow the **United Nations’
  Principles for the Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence** in any pursuit
  involving the Dataset. You further agree **not** to use the Dataset to:


  - Replicate texts of low trustworthiness — either manually or automatically —
  with the intention to release them by any means.

  - Create an algorithm that recommends or promotes articles of low
  trustworthiness.

  - Produce any product supporting the spread of mis- and disinformation.


  If You fail to comply with our Ethical Standards, the License provided to You
  is immediately voided, with your continued usage of the provided Dataset
  carrying all legal ramifications of it being seen as unlicensed.


  ## Privacy

  You may not use the Dataset to invade the privacy of any person whose
  personally identifiable information (PII) or other personal data (as defined
  by Your respective region’s law) may have been incidentally collected during
  the creation of this Dataset. This includes actions which might otherwise be
  classified as legal in Your respective region’s law. Privacy concerns and PII
  removal requests can be directed to **info@verifee.ai**.


  ## No Publicity Rights

  You may not use the name, trademark, official mark, official emblem, or logo
  of the Licensor (both **“Verifee”** and **“Verifee Research”**) without the
  Licensor’s prior written consent. This includes any indication (or
  implication) of an association with the Licensor. The only allowed case of
  mentioning the Licensor’s name is in texts which fulfill the attribution
  requirements of the **CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license**, as described in the Section
  License.


  ## Termination

  The Licensor may terminate Your access to all or any part of the Dataset or
  the Website at any time, with no obligation to state the cause nor provide
  extensive notice, effective immediately. All provisions of the Dataset Terms,
  which — by their nature — shall persist contract termination, will remain in
  place with no limitation, including warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and
  limitations of liability.


  ## Indemnification

  You will indemnify and hold the Licensor harmless from and against any and all
  claims, loss, cost, expense, liability, or damage, including, without
  limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising from:


  - Your use or misuse of the Website or the Dataset;

  - Your access to the Website;

  - Your violation of the Dataset Terms;

  - Infringement by You, or any third party using Your account, of any
  intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity;

  - Your failure to uphold the Ethical Standards provided in this document.


  Such losses, costs, expenses, damages, or liabilities will include, without
  limitation, all actual, general, special, indirect, incidental, and
  consequential damages.


  ## Dispute Resolution

  These Dataset Terms will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
  laws of the **Czech Republic** or, where relevant, the **European Union**
  (excluding the conflict of laws and rules thereof). You consent to the
  jurisdiction of courts in this jurisdictional district and waive any
  jurisdictional or venue defenses otherwise available.


  ## Miscellaneous

  You agree that it is Your responsibility to comply with all applicable laws
  with respect to Your use and publication of the Dataset or derivatives
  thereof, including any applicable privacy, data protection, security, and
  export control laws. These Dataset Terms constitute the entire agreement
  between You and Licensor with respect to the subject matter of these Dataset
  Terms and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written
  or oral, unless a majority of the Dataset Authors explicitly give an agreement
  for a license to be changed, after which every other provision beyond the
  license itself still remains fully enforceable and supersedes any other
  agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any term of these
  Dataset Terms to be unenforceable, the unenforceable term will be modified to
  reflect the parties’ intention and only to the extent necessary to make the
  term enforceable. The remaining provisions of these Dataset Terms will remain
  in effect. You may not assign these Dataset Terms without the prior written
  consent of the Licensor. The Licensor may assign, transfer, or delegate any of
  their rights and obligations under these Dataset Terms without consent. The
  parties are independent contractors. No failure or delay by either party in
  exercising a right under these Dataset Terms will constitute a waiver of that
  right. A waiver of a default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. These
  Dataset Terms may be amended by the Licensor from time to time at their
  discretion. If an update affects your use of the Dataset, the Licensor will
  notify you before the updated terms are effective for your use.

VERIFEE RESEARCH: Dataset Request

Supported by a TAČR grant

In our research on disinformation analysis using machine learning, we collected a unique resource comprising thousands of reports and texts in Czech, complemented by information about present manipulative techniques. Thanks to proactive journalism students and great support from the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University, this dataset came to life with quality and size far beyond our initial expectations and hopes. Recognizing its potential benefits for research in machine learning, data science, as well as social, journalism, and cognitive sciences, we have decided to make it available to the research community free of charge.

WHAT DOES THE DATA LOOK LIKE?

We provide nearly 10,000 articles — each represented by:

  • Title
  • Body
  • Image URLs
  • Source of origin
  • Detailed trustworthiness assessment, including high-level and granular paragraph features.

You can retrieve details about data collection, structure, and filtering characteristics from our publication. A comprehensive data structure description will be sent along with the dataset.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT?

To access the dataset:

  1. Fill in the application form, including details about your project, intended use, and funding sources.
  2. If approved, we will issue you a license to use and edit our models under our ethical research conditions for non-commercial use cases only.
  3. Violations of the terms will result in license revocation.

For profitable projects, please contact us directly at info@verifee.ai to discuss potential agreements.
