Terms

1. About these terms

1.1 These terms govern access to and use of the public Sauriq website and the invite-only Sauriq product (together, the “service”). The service is intended for professional laboratory and research teams; it is not intended for children or personal use.

1.2 By using the service, you agree to these terms. You must be authorized to use the service on behalf of an organization. If your organization has a separate written agreement with the provider of Sauriq, that agreement will prevail to the extent it covers the same subject matter.

1.3 Our Privacy notice explains how personal data is processed. It is separate from these terms and does not replace any data-processing agreement required for an organization's use of the product.

2. Preview access and demo requests

2.1 The product is currently available as an invite-only preview. Submitting a Join private preview request is an expression of interest only. It does not constitute a purchase or guarantee an invitation, account, trial period, or particular feature.

2.2 We may determine whether to grant or continue preview access. These terms do not establish a paid subscription or service-level commitment. Any future paid service will be subject to separate applicable commercial terms.

3. Accounts and teams

3.1 You may use only an account assigned to you. You must safeguard your sign-in details, must not share your account, and must promptly notify your team contact or use the contact route below if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account to the extent it results from your failure to meet these obligations.

3.2 Your organization determines whom it invites and what its members share. Other authorized members may view workspace membership and content in accordance with their access. You should check your team's permissions before sharing material.

4. Responsible use

4.1 You must use the service lawfully and only for work you are authorized to perform. You must not interfere with its operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access, circumvent access controls, introduce malicious code, or make automated requests that disrupt the service.

4.2 Do not submit content that you lack the right to share, infringes others' rights, or is unlawful. During the preview, use only synthetic or non-sensitive data in workspaces. Do not enter patient or clinical records, sensitive personal data, confidential research material, or information that requires a regulated or specially protected environment.

4.3 We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to address misuse, security risks, legal requirements, or a material breach of these terms. Where practicable, we will explain the reason and provide an opportunity to resolve the issue.

5. Your content and our product

5.1 You and your organization retain any rights you already hold in material added to a workspace. You are responsible for obtaining the rights and permissions needed to add that material and make it available to your team.

5.2 You grant us limited permission to host, reproduce, display, back up, and otherwise process that material as necessary to provide, protect, and support the service for your organization. This permission does not transfer ownership of your content to us.

5.3 We retain our rights in the Sauriq software, design, and documentation. Your access grants a limited right to use the service in accordance with these terms; it does not transfer ownership of the product. If you provide suggestions, we may use them to improve Sauriq without an obligation to implement them or compensate you.

6. Intended use

6.1 Sauriq helps teams map research plans, decisions, and progress. It is intended to complement, not replace, an electronic lab notebook or other system of record. Keep an independent copy of important work.

6.2 The preview is not a laboratory information management system, is not GxP-validated, and is not intended for clinical or diagnostic decisions or regulatory submissions. Do not rely on it for those purposes.

7. Availability and changes to the preview

7.1 The preview is under active development. We may change, pause, or discontinue features and do not guarantee continuous availability, any particular uptime, or that a feature will remain unchanged. We will seek to provide advance notice of material changes or a planned end to the preview where reasonably possible.

8. Warranties and liability

8.1 The preview is provided as available. We do not warrant that it will be error-free or suitable for any particular research outcome. You remain responsible for reviewing your work and maintaining appropriate records outside Sauriq.

8.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the preview. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or limits rights where doing so is prohibited by law, including liability for fraud or intentional misconduct.

9. Privacy

9.1 See our Privacy notice for information about personal data and requests. If your organization needs to place personal data in a workspace beyond what is permitted for this preview, please contact us first so the appropriate terms and safeguards can be agreed before that use begins.

10. Ending access

10.1 You may stop using the service at any time. We may end preview access, including when an invitation is withdrawn or the preview ends. For a planned end to the preview, we will try to give your organization advance notice. Contact us about your content before access ends, and keep independent copies of important work.

10.2 Termination of one person's access does not automatically delete the organization's shared workspace. Content may remain accessible to other authorized members, subject to applicable agreements and data-protection rights. Contact us about a content or deletion request; the Privacy notice explains personal-data requests.

11. Changes to these terms

11.1 We may amend these terms as the service develops. The version date above identifies the current text. Where reasonably possible, we will notify you of material changes before they take effect. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may stop using the service; continued use after they take effect indicates acceptance.
