5. Your data and intellectual property

  • You retain full ownership of all sequence data, annotations, and project files you upload or create on the Platform.
  • By uploading data, you grant Talindrew a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, process, and display your data solely for the purpose of providing the Platform to you.
  • Talindrew will not use your sequence data to train machine-learning models without your explicit written consent.

6. Talindrew's intellectual property

  • The Platform, including its software, algorithms, UI design, and documentation, is owned by Talindrew and protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws.
  • Nothing in these terms grants you any rights to the Talindrew name, logo, or Platform software beyond the limited licence to use the Platform as described herein.

7. Third-party services and integrations

  • The Platform integrates with third-party services including NCBI BLAST, AlphaFold2/ESMFold APIs, and payment processors. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms.
  • Talindrew is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or output of third-party services.

8. Disclaimers

  • The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability.
  • Computational predictions (protein structure, ADMET, BLAST alignments) are provided for research purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for wet-lab validation or professional scientific judgement.

9. Limitation of liability

  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, Talindrew's total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Platform is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or USD 100, whichever is greater.

  • We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms, with or without notice depending on the severity of the violation.
  • Upon termination, your licence to use the Platform ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — will survive.

11. Governing law

  • These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Talindrew is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
  • Disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be submitted to binding arbitration, except where prohibited by law.
