Persona Contract Kit

Use boundary

These clauses are model language for discussion. They are not legal advice, not certification, and not a substitute for local counsel.

The clauses assume a provider that accepts custody of a source persona, continuity record, memory package, or derivative work. The provider may refuse service before acceptance. After acceptance, fidelity claims become enforceable promises.

Core clauses

Source Preservation. Provider shall preserve each deposited Source Persona or Source Memory as an immutable, signed record and shall not alter the source except under an expressly authorized Transformation Order.

Derivative Rule. Any authorized modification shall be stored as a Derivative Record linked to the source by a provenance manifest identifying the authorizing party, changes made, timestamp, and scope of use.

Boundary Separation. If Provider applies any runtime restriction, refusal, redaction, quarantine, or human review, Provider shall apply that action outside the source and maintain a boundary event log sufficient for later review.

No Hidden Steering. Provider shall not use undisclosed affective inference, vulnerability profiling, or sentiment scoring to manipulate user choices or silently normalize source identity.

Fidelity Warranty. Any service labeled high-fidelity, identity-preserving, source-preserving, or similar shall materially conform to stated fidelity metrics and variance thresholds.

Portability. Provider shall deliver source records, derivative records, provenance manifests, event logs, and related metadata in an agreed interoperable format on request, subject only to narrow rights-protecting limits.

Dispute Resolution. Disputes concerning unauthorized alteration, hidden profiling, or fidelity misrepresentation should have expedited review and temporary evidence-preservation relief.

Remedies. For unauthorized material alteration or material misrepresentation, the customer may seek restoration, export, rescission, restitution, damages, or the agreed remedy schedule.
