No new job starts under it from the day your withdrawal arrives.
A job already underway finishes, because stopping a machine mid-pass is its own hazard. That is the one delay in it. Deleting every copy takes longer again, because backups run to a horizon. You are told every one of those dates and we do not let a short one stand in for a long one.
Find it, stop it, delete it, and tell you the true date.
- 01Find everything that saw your workEvery session, and everything built from one that a machine actually runs. If we cannot find them all, we cannot honour a withdrawal, so the record of what went into what is kept from the first day rather than assembled when somebody asks.
- 02Stop it starting anywhere new, the day it arrivesNot at the end of a term, not at the next release, and not when it is convenient. A job already running finishes, because stopping a machine mid-pass is its own hazard — and nothing else starts under it from that day.
- 03Delete the raw and the derived alikeThe recording and what was made from it. Rebuild what can be rebuilt without you, and withdraw what cannot.
- 04Confirm to you, with the true completion dateIncluding backups. The real date, not the convenient one.
The withdrawal itself stays on file, because a record that deletes its own withdrawals cannot show it honoured one.
A model cannot be un-trained.
Taking a way of working out of service is straightforward: it stops being available and nothing new runs it. If a record has been used to train a model, that is a different problem, and the weights cannot be unpicked.
So what we can promise is only what is possible: no new deployments from the day the withdrawal lands, and the material removed at the next revision of that model, with the date stated before you ever agree to it. That is a real limit and you are entitled to know it before you decide, rather than after.
A record used to train a model is a different thing from a record used to run a machine, and it gets a different yes. No agreement to anything else ever covers it.
A change of ownership should be a reason to withdraw, on its own.
You agreed to terms offered by particular people. If this company changes hands, that is a fair moment to decide whether you still want to be in it. The right to walk at that moment, on your own say, is one of the points the agreement is being built around, so that it does not depend on whoever ends up holding it.
