Terms of Service

Please read these terms carefully. Section 4 explains what SciVerify does and does not guarantee, and section 15 limits our liability. Those two sections matter more than any others: SciVerify is an assistive verification layer, not a replacement for qualified expert review.

Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], a company registered in Israel under company number [COMPANY NUMBER], of [REGISTERED ADDRESS] ("Collect.Tim", "we", "us"), and the individual or organisation accessing the Service ("you", "Customer").

By accessing the website, creating an account or submitting a document, you accept these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind it. Where you and Collect.Tim have signed a separate written agreement or order form, that agreement prevails over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.

Definitions

• "Service" — the SciVerify document QA screening service, including the website, application, APIs and reports.
• "Customer Content" — documents, files and data you submit to the Service.
• "Report" — the structured output the Service generates from Customer Content, including findings and the supporting evidence they are linked to.
• "Finding" — an individual potential inconsistency identified in a Report.

The service

SciVerify analyses documents you submit in order to identify potential numerical and statistical inconsistencies. In broad terms it extracts quantitative claims and reported values, maps how they relate to one another, cross-checks them against related information in other sections, tables and figures, prioritises what it finds, and explains each Finding with its location and the conflicting or incomplete evidence behind it.

We may improve, modify or discontinue features of the Service. Where a change materially reduces functionality you rely on, we will give you reasonable notice.

What the service is not

Specifically, the Service does not:

1. guarantee that a document is free of numerical, statistical or other errors;
2. constitute scientific, statistical, medical, regulatory, legal or professional advice;
3. assess the validity of a study design, the correctness of underlying data, or the truth of scientific conclusions;
4. replace peer review, statistical review, quality control, or any regulatory or institutional obligation applying to you; or
5. make any representation to a journal, regulator, sponsor, institution or third party on your behalf.

You remain solely responsible for the content, accuracy and compliance of any document you publish, submit or rely upon, whether or not it has been processed by the Service, and for every decision you take on the basis of a Report.

Methodology statement. SciVerify is a document QA and consistency-screening tool. It flags potential issues for expert review and does not independently establish scientific validity, recalculate statistical analyses or replace statistical, regulatory or scientific sign-off. Coverage depends on document quality and the availability of readable supporting information.

Accounts

You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at sales@collectim.tech if you suspect unauthorised access. Accounts may not be shared beyond the permitted number of users, and access may not be resold or sublicensed without our written consent.

Your content

You own your content. Customer Content and the underlying research remain yours. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of it to us.

You grant Collect.Tim a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, copy, process, transmit and display Customer Content solely to the extent necessary to provide, secure and support the Service for you, and to comply with law. This licence ends when the relevant content is deleted, except for backup copies that expire in the ordinary course.

We do not use Customer Content to train models. Customer Content is not used to train, fine-tune or improve machine learning models, is not shared with other customers, and is not sold. Where we analyse usage to improve the Service, we use aggregated or de-identified metrics rather than document content.

Reports generated for you may be used freely within your organisation and shared with your collaborators, reviewers and regulators.

Your responsibilities

You represent and warrant that, for each document you submit:

1. you own it or have all rights and permissions necessary to submit it to the Service, including from co-authors, sponsors and licensors;
2. submitting it does not breach any confidentiality obligation, publication embargo, clinical trial agreement or third-party right;
3. you have a lawful basis for any personal data it contains, and you have de-identified it wherever reasonably possible; and
4. you will not submit special category or patient-level personal data without first putting a Data Processing Agreement in place with us.

Acceptable use

You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• use the Service to process documents you are not entitled to process;
• attempt to reverse engineer, decompile or extract the models, methods or source code behind the Service, or use the Service to build a competing product;
• circumvent usage limits, security controls or authentication;
• upload malicious code, or interfere with the integrity or performance of the Service;
• scrape or bulk-download the Service other than through a documented API within its limits;
• misrepresent a Report — for example by presenting a document as verified, certified or error-free by Collect.Tim; or
• use the Service in breach of applicable law, export controls or sanctions.

We may suspend access where we reasonably believe this section has been breached, or where continued access poses a security or legal risk.

Fees

Fees, usage limits and billing frequency are as set out in your order form or plan description at [PRICING REFERENCE]. Unless stated otherwise, fees are exclusive of VAT and other taxes, payable within [PAYMENT TERMS, e.g. 30 days] of invoice, and non-refundable except where required by law. We may change fees on [NOTICE PERIOD] notice, effective at your next renewal. Late payment may result in suspension after notice.

Where the Service is provided free of charge, as a trial or as a pilot, it is provided "as is" and we may modify or withdraw it at any time.

Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, models, methods, interfaces, documentation and the Collect.Tim and SciVerify names and marks, is owned by Collect.Tim and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your internal business and research purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Feedback you send us about the Service may be used without restriction or obligation, but we will not identify you as its source without your consent.

Confidentiality

Each party may receive confidential information of the other. Customer Content is your confidential information. Each party will protect the other's confidential information with at least reasonable care, use it only for the purposes of this agreement, and disclose it only to personnel and advisers who need it and are bound by equivalent obligations. These obligations do not apply to information that is public through no breach, independently developed, or lawfully received from a third party, and do not prevent disclosure required by law — in which case the disclosing party will, where legally permitted, give prior notice.

Data protection

Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Where we process personal data contained in Customer Content, we do so as processor on your instructions, and a Data Processing Agreement is available on request.

Term and termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Service. You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. Either party may terminate for material breach that remains uncured [30] days after written notice, or immediately if the other becomes insolvent.

On termination, your right to access the Service ends. You should export any Reports you wish to keep beforehand. We will delete Customer Content in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive — including confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law — survive termination.

Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and without limiting section 4, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that all inconsistencies in a document will be detected, or that every Finding will be correct.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill, anticipated savings, publication opportunity, or costs of regulatory delay, retraction or resubmission, however arising.

Each party's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms is limited to the greater of [AMOUNT / CURRENCY] and the fees paid or payable by you to Collect.Tim in the [12] months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. These limits do not apply to your payment obligations or to a breach of section 8.

Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify Collect.Tim against third-party claims arising from Customer Content, from your breach of sections 7 or 8, or from your use of a Report — including claims by co-authors, sponsors, institutions, publishers or data subjects — except to the extent the claim results from our breach of these Terms.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the Service develops. The current version is always posted here with its date. Where a change is material, we will notify account holders by email at least [30] days before it takes effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance; if you do not accept, you may terminate.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict of law rules. The competent courts of [Tel Aviv-Yafo], Israel, have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, and each party submits to that jurisdiction. Nothing prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.

General

• Entire agreement — these Terms, the Privacy Policy and any signed order form are the whole agreement between the parties on this subject.
• Assignment — you may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor in a corporate transaction.
• Severability — if a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
• Waiver — failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Force majeure — neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• No partnership — nothing here creates a partnership, agency or employment relationship.
• Publicity — we will not name you as a customer without your prior written consent.
• Notices — notices to us go to sales@collectim.tech; notices to you go to your registered account email.
