- " <p>Thanks for using RSpace! These terms of service (“Terms”) cover your use and
access to the services, client software and websites (“Services”) provided by ResearchSpace.\nOur
Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information while our Acceptable
Use Policy outlines your responsibilities when using our Services.\nBy using
our Services, you’re agreeing to be bound by these Terms, and to review our Privacy and
Acceptable Use policies.\nIf you’re using our Services for an organization,
you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that organization.</p> Your Things &.\nYour
Permissions <p>When you use our Services, you provide us with things like your files,
content, email messages, contacts and so on (“Your Things”).\nYour Things are yours.\nThese
Terms don’t give us any rights to Your Things except for the limited rights
that enable us to offer the Services.</p>\n<p>We need your permission to do things
like hosting Your Things, backing them up, and sharing them when you ask us to.\nOur
Services also provide you with features like photo thumbnails, document previews,
easy sorting, editing, sharing and searching.\nThese and other features may require
our systems to access, store and scan Your Things.\nYou give us permission to do
those things, and this permission extends to trusted third parties we work with.</p>
Sharing Your Things <p>Our Services let you share Your Things with others, so please
think carefully about what you share.</p> Your Responsibilities <p>You’re responsible
for your conduct, Your Things and you must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy.\nContent
in the Services may be protected by others’ intellectual property rights.\nPlease
don’t copy, upload, download or share content unless you have the right to do so.</p>\n<p>We
may review your conduct and content for compliance with these Terms and our Acceptable
Use Policy.\nWith that said, we have no obligation to do so.\nWe aren’t responsible
for the content people enter and share via the Services.</p>\n<p>Please safeguard
your password to the Services, make sure that others don’t have access to it, and
keep your account information current.</p>\n<p>Finally, our Services are not intended
for and may not be used by people under the age of 13.\nBy using our Services, you
are representing to us that you’re over 13.</p> Software <p>Some of our Services
allow you to download client software (“Software”) which may update automatically.\nSo
long as you comply with these Terms, we give you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable,
revocable license to use the Software, solely to access the Services.\nTo the extent
any component of the Software may be offered under an open source license, we’ll
make that license available to you and the provisions of that license may expressly
override some of these Terms.\nUnless the following restrictions are prohibited
by law, you agree not to reverse engineer or decompile the Services, attempt to
do so, or assist anyone in doing so.</p> Our Things <p>The Services are protected
by copyright, trademark, and other laws.\nThese Terms don’t grant you any right,
title or interest in the Services, others’ content in the Services, RSpace trademark,
logos and other brand features.\nWe welcome feedback, but note that we may use comments
or suggestions without any obligation to you.</p> Copyright <p>We respect the intellectual
property of others and ask that you do too.\nWe respond to notices of alleged copyright
infringement if they comply with the law, and such notices should be reported using
the standard DMCA takedown notice format (see example template here).\nWe reserve
the right to delete or disable content alleged to be infringing and terminate accounts
of repeat infringers.\n Notices of alleged copyright infringement on the Services
should be sent to:</p>\nResearchSpace<br>\n16 Charlotte Square<br>\nEdinburgh
EH2 4DF\nScotland<br>\ninfo@researchspace.com RSpace Enterprise <p>\n<em>Using RSpace
Enterprise</em>.\nIf you join an RSpace Enterprise account, you must use
it in compliance with your employer’s terms and policies.\nPlease note that RSpace
Enterprise accounts are subject to your employer’s control.\nYour administrators
may be able to access, disclose, restrict, or remove information in or from your
RSpace Enterprise account.\nThey may also be able to restrict or terminate your
access to an RSpace Enterprises account.</p> Termination <p>You’re free to stop
using our Services at any time.\nWe also reserve the right to suspend or end the
Services at any time at our discretion and without notice.\nFor example, we may
suspend or terminate your use of the Services if you’re not complying with these
Terms, or use the Services in a manner that would cause us legal liability, disrupt
the Services or disrupt others’ use of the Services.\nWe reserve the right to terminate
and delete your account if you haven’t accessed our Services for 12 consecutive
months.\nWe’ll of course provide you with notice via the email address associated
with your account before we do so.</p> Services “AS IS” <p>We strive to provide
great Services, but there are certain things that we can’t guarantee.\nTO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RESEARCHSPACE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SERVICES.\nTHE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” WE ALSO DISCLAIM
ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.\nSome
states don’t allow the disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.</p>
Limitation of Liability <p>TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
RESEARCHSPACE BE LIABLE FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR PROFITS, REGARDLESS
OF LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT RESEARCHSPACE HAS BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.\n(B) AGGREGATE
LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES MORE THAN US$20.\nSome states
don’t allow the types of limitations in this paragraph, so they may not apply to
you.</p> Resolving Disputes <p>\n<em>Let’s Try To Sort Things Out First</em>.\nWe
want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case.\nBefore filing
a claim against ResearchSpace, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally
by contacting info@researchspace.com.\nWe’ll try to resolve the dispute informally
by contacting you via email.\nIf a dispute is not resolved within 15 days of submission,
you or ResearchSpace may bring a formal proceeding.</p>\n<p>\n<em>We Both Agree
To Arbitrate</em>.\nYou and ResearchSpace agree to resolve any claims relating to
these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration, except as set
forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.</p>\n<p>\n<em>Arbitration
Procedures</em>.\nThe Scottish Arbitration Centre (SAC) will administer the
arbitration under the Scottish Arbitration Rules.\nThe arbitration will be held
in Scotland, or any other location we agree to.</p>\n<p>\n<em>Arbitration Fees</em>.\nThe
SAC rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.</p>\n<p>\n<em>Exceptions
to Agreement to Arbitrate</em>.\n Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for
injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual
property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent
rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution
process described above.</p>\n<p>\n<em>No Class Actions</em>.\nYou may only resolve
disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff
or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.\nClass arbitrations,
class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations
aren’t allowed.</p>\n<p>\n<em>Judicial forum for disputes</em>.\nIn the event that
the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and ResearchSpace
agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the courts of Scotland.\n Both
you and ResearchSpace consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.</p>
Controlling Law <p>These Terms will be governed by Scottish law except for its conflicts
of laws principles.</p> Entire Agreement <p>These Terms constitute the entire agreement
between you and ResearchSpace with respect to the subject matter of these Terms,
and supersede and replace any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms
and conditions applicable to the subject matter of these Terms.\nThese Terms create
no third party beneficiary rights.</p> Waiver, Severability &.\nAssignment <p>ResearchSpace’s
failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later.\nIf
a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain
in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent
as closely as possible.\nYou may not assign any of your rights under these Terms,
and any such attempt will be void.\nResearchSpace may assign its rights to
any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business
associated with the Services.</p> Modifications <p>We may revise these Terms from
time to time, and will always post the most current version on our website.\nIf
a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you (by, for example,
sending a message to the email address associated with your account, posting on
our blog or on this page).\nBy continuing to use or access the Services after the
revisions come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.</p> RSpace
