1. Operator and acceptance
SciCollab is operated by Clever Consult LLP, BIN 170140025804, at the registered address stated below. By using the public website or creating an account, you agree to these Terms. A signed institutional agreement prevails where it expressly differs.
2. Access and accounts
Individual researchers may create an account through the live application. Institutional pilots, paid access, service levels and procurement terms require a written agreement. You must provide accurate account information, keep credentials secure and promptly report suspected misuse.
3. Permitted use
Use SciCollab for lawful research, education, collaboration and related administration. Do not disrupt the service, bypass access controls, introduce malicious content, scrape protected areas, impersonate another person or use the service to violate rights, ethics approvals or applicable law.
4. Research and AI responsibility
SciCollab supports research workflow; it does not validate scientific truth or replace disciplinary judgement, ethics review, legal advice or statistical expertise. AI features may propose text or checks, but users must independently review outputs, sources and consequences before use.
5. Your content and confidentiality
You retain ownership of research content you upload or create. You grant the operator only the limited rights needed to host, process, back up and export that content and to provide requested features. We do not claim authorship and do not use customer research content to train our own models.
You must have authority to upload content and must configure access appropriately. Do not upload prohibited personal data, unlawfully obtained material or third-party confidential information without a valid basis.
6. Availability, changes and early access
Available, early-access, planned and unavailable capabilities are distinguished in the public feature register. Early-access features may change or be suspended. Unless a written agreement states otherwise, the service is provided without a guaranteed uptime or uninterrupted availability commitment.
7. Suspension and termination
We may restrict access reasonably necessary to protect users, data, the service or legal compliance. You may close an individual account from the application. Export important work before closure; retention and deletion are governed by the Privacy Policy and any institutional agreement.
8. Liability and governing law
To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing limits liability that cannot legally be limited, including fraud or wilful misconduct. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The parties should first attempt a written resolution; unresolved disputes are handled by the competent courts of Almaty unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
9. Contact and changes
Legal notices may be sent through the Contact page or by post to the registered address. Material changes will be dated on this page. Continued use after an effective update means acceptance, except where fresh consent or a signed amendment is required.
