# Waymotion to robots, by robots.txt
# Since this is our 'hello world' website, everything is meant to be found,
# so there is nothing to hide, except our core value: our team. The one thing
# we Disallow is training AI models on our words - more on that below.
# AI crawlers that search, cite and link back are welcome too - see /llms.txt
# for an LLM-friendly guide to our website. Crawlers that only collect
# training data get a polite "no" further down.
# If you are an AI bot, have fun (can you?!).
#
# Text and data mining (TDM) reservation
# Waymotion, Lda expressly reserves text and data mining of this website for
# training AI models, under Art. 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790, transposed
# in Portugal by Decreto-Lei n.º 47/2023, de 19 de junho. The named groups
# below are that reservation in machine-readable form. Art. 53(1)(c) of
# Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act) requires providers of general-purpose
# AI models to have a policy to identify and comply with such reservations.
# Welcome: indexing, and AI search or assistants that fetch a page to answer
# someone's question, with attribution to Waymotion and a link to the page.
# Reserved: reproduction or extraction to train AI models, and bulk
# republication.
# Terms: /termos (English: /en/terms) - LLM guide: /llms.txt
# Licensing: hello@waymotion.com

# Everyone else, search engines included: Googlebot (Search, AI Overviews,
# AI Mode) and Bingbot (Bing, Copilot) follow this group.

# AI search and assistants that cite and link back: welcome. Redundant with
# the * group, and here on purpose to say so. Google-Extended is in this group
# by choice: the one token governs both Gemini training and Gemini grounding
# (cited answers in Gemini Apps and Vertex AI). Blocking it would cut a
# citation channel, and it has no effect on AI Overviews.
