Terms of Service

Content

United States and other intellectual property laws protect all content on TeraOpenScience’ websites including without limitation, the Platform. You will find a few different types of content in our Services.

TeraOpenScience provides a platform that enables open scientific communication and work-flow collaboration.

At TeraOpenScience, we want to enable scientific experts to save lives, eliminate and remediate pollutants, and drive an entrepreneurial spirit for adopting open Technologies and Content within a free platform. Through the free exchange of scientific knowledge and research, our platform crowd-advances the global community around open Technologies and Content.

Our approach is like “open-source” software development because we have, in essence, utilized the licensing and contractual arrangements already successfully used in open-source programming. Similarly, we have also adopted a range of variations on this theme of open-source license and contracts that allow for various forms of intellectual property protections.

Please read these Terms of Service https://Therapoid.net collectively with TeraOpenScience LLC’s Privacy Policy https://Therapoid.net and Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy (DMCA) (the terms of which are incorporated herein, by reference) fully and carefully before using the Services. These Terms of Service set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Services, whether you are an open-source contributor (“Innovator”), a party interested in open-source Technologies and Content (“Adopter”), or merely a visitor who is browsing the Services.

3. Description of Services
   1. Scientific Collaboration. TeraOpenScience provides users an area to conduct or discuss science-related information, data, manuscript development, provide or receive monetary and/or non-monetary donations, and express views, opinions, and the recommendations of individuals and organizations. You are completely responsible for your own conduct, beliefs and opinions within TeraOpenScience. The message boards are designed to help you gain the information to conduct research. You are responsible for properly analyzing and verifying any information or data you choose to rely upon.
      1. TeraOpenScience does not perform background checks on any of the Users. We do not guarantee that Users’ profiles contain accurate information. Users should also be aware that other Users might use the Platform for personal gain. Therefore, everyone should approach information, data, analytics and communications, and messages with appropriate precaution and objectivity.
      2. Communications and messages posted by Users may be misleading, deceptive, or in error. If you disagree with a posting, feel free to voice your opinion. It is the policy of TeraOpenScience to allow our Users to freely discuss issues in a free and open manner, and we will not take sides in disagreements or disputes based on scientific theories, sentiments, politics, or other subjective criteria.
      3. Communications and messages posted by Users may be misleading, deceptive, or in error. If you disagree with a posting, feel free to voice your opinion. It is the policy of TeraOpenScience to allow our Users to freely discuss issues in a free and open manner, and we will not take sides in disagreements or disputes based on scientific theories, sentiments, politics, or other subjective criteria.
      4. The Platform is largely a self-policing discussion environment, which means that Community Managers (“administrators”) from the community are appointed by the community to review communications and content received from users regarding violations of the Platform policies. Upon receipt of such communications and content, Community Managers can and will take such action as they deem appropriate (at their sole discretion), including, but not limited to the removal of post(s) and content(s), and the suspension or termination of user account(s). If you believe a message has been intentionally posted in violation of any laws, you should contact the appropriate local legal authority.
         1. When Community Managers flag content and technologies, the provider of the flagged content can appeal the decision made by the Community Manager(S). When such appeals are made, they go to TeraOpenScience’s independent science team for adjudication. The decision made by the TeraOpenScience science team is final and binding.
      5. You should be aware of the possible risks of on-line communications and scientific data analysis. We make various services and Content available on and through the Platform including, but not limited to, the provision of a forum for the discussion of various topics, including without limitation, data, theories, conferences, proceedings, investments, markets, politics, manuscripts, journal articles, and other topics. We reserve the sole right to either modify or discontinue the Platform, including any features therein, at any time with or without notice to you. We shall not be liable to you, or any third party should we exercise such right. Modifications may also include, but are not limited to, changes in the pricing structure, the addition of Premium Services that may be determined in the future, or changes to allowances and limitations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any new features that augment or enhance the then-current Services on the Platform shall also be subject to these Terms.
      6. User Roles. The Platform enables the designation of some users as managers, leaders, moderators, and other roles which give them extra privileges and responsibilities in specific areas of the Platform, to enhance the User experience for all. Such Users are generally not employees or agents of TeraOpenScience, and their actions and opinions are not representative of those of TeraOpenScience. All Users, including such managers, etc., are bound by these Terms of Service. TeraOpenScience reserves the right to assign and remove roles and privileges at any time at its sole discretion, for the good of the community. Roles and privileges are enabled to assist Users and to enforce these Terms and the platform’s operating policies.
   2. Technologies and Content. TeraOpenScience offers a structured set of data, text, and media files that includes, without limitation public data produced by governments, universities, companies, organizations, and other such Innovators (the “Technologies and Content”). TeraOpenScience does not directly create or provide all the Technologies and Content available on the Platform. Rather, the Services act as a venue to allow TeraOpenScience and Innovators to offer, provide, distribute, produce, and make available (“Share”) Technologies and Content for other users to access and use. As a result, TeraOpenScience has no control over the quality, safety, morality, or legality of any aspect of the Technologies and Content that are Shared by Innovators, except those owned by TeraOpenScience and/or its Affiliates, or the ability of Innovators to provide Technologies and Content. As used in these Terms, references to our “Affiliates” include our parent, subsidiary, and affiliated companies. TeraOpenScience does not transfer legal ownership of any of the Technologies and Content from the Innovators to any user. By using the Services, you agree that TeraOpenScience is not responsible or liable for any Technologies and Content, for example, text, information, data, communications, usernames, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio, video, items, links, and any other material posted by you, Innovators, other users, or outside parties on the Services.

       8. Special Notification with respect to Children’s Privacy (Users under the age of 13)
          1. In response to concerns about protecting children’s privacy online, the United States of America’s Congress enacted the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which sets forth rules and procedures governing the ways in which Web sites may collect, use, and disclose any personal information for children under the age of 13. TeraOpenScience does not target children under the age of 13 and does not offer or knowingly sell any of its products or services to children. Moreover, TeraOpenScience DOES NOT:

It might also affect whether you receive notices of activities you might wish to be notified of within the Site.
           2. Should you opt-in, any such email you will have an “opt-out” link you can use to remove yourself from the lists for all specific types of emails we may send. We send the emails ourselves and do NOT give or sell your email address to marketers or anyone else unless as required by jurisdictional laws and regulations.
       11. Personally Identifiable Information.
           1. Provided optionally (“Opt-in”) by the User, such information is used to build a Persona.

Please review the Official Rules for such promotions carefully, as the personal information collected during these promotions may be subject to the privacy policies of these third-party vendors as well as this Privacy Policy and laws and regulations.

       19. Other Information
           1. We collect additional information about how you use and access our Website to analyze trends, administer our Website, track user’s navigation on the Site and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use, which enables us to improve the Site by making it more accessible and easier to navigate.

           3. If a governmental agency (for example, the Securities and Exchange Commission, law enforcement agencies, United States Attorneys’ offices or similar governmental agencies) sends us a subpoena, we will comply with it. If we receive a subpoena by a third party that is not a governmental agency (for example, a subpoena in connection with civil litigation), we will attempt to contact the user whose identity has been requested using the contact information the user provided during the registration process including by email and/or a message sent to your TeraOpenScience account so that you may seek to prevent our delivery of this information or quash the subpoena. We will wait 10 days after notifying the user before complying with the subpoena by disclosing the identity of the user unless the subpoena requires us to disclose this information before then. If we cannot wait 10 days because of the deadline in the subpoena, we will advise the user of the deadline included in the subpoena when we provide notice that we received it.
           4. If you can send and receive private messages using our messaging system, our policy is that we will not deliver the contents of private messages to anyone, even when demanded via subpoena.

Consequently, we cannot guarantee that any Personally Identifiable Information (Persona) transmitted will be prevented from being viewed or used by any person and therefore, you agree to hold us harmless from and against any injury, financial or otherwise, that results from such unauthorized viewing or use.

Thus, you agree to hold us harmless from and against any harm, financial or otherwise, that results from such detection, decryption, eavesdropping or tampering of e-mails.
    2. Most specifically, should you lose the keys to your TeraOpenScience issued cryptocurrency wallet, you will not be able to recreate your wallet and you will no longer be able to gain access to the ScienceCoins, other cryptocurrencies, and NFTs that might be on the blockchain to which they reside. You agree you understand this and will hold TeraOpenScience and its affiliates harmless should you fail to protect and safeguard your wallet. TeraOpenScience is not a custodian for your wallet access keys and we have no way of retrieving your keys. We do not store or have access to your keys. If you lose control of your wallet, it is your fault.
    3. In addition, you must take steps to maintain the security of your private information by keeping your password and other personal information confidential. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

15. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
    1. Notice and Takedown Procedure
       1. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement, if those notices comply with the United States of America’s Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page describes the information that must be present in these notices. It is designed to make submitting notices to TeraOpenScience of alleged infringement as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify. The form of notice specified below is consistent with the form suggested by the DMCA (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov), but we may respond to notices of the form of notice specified below from other legal jurisdictions as well.
       2. It is expected that all users of any part of the TeraOpenScience’s site will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if the TeraOpenScience receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our response to these notices will include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating subscribers, regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under United States law or the laws of another jurisdiction.
       3. Before we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that they may make a counter-notification pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act.
