About the Research Objects on the Service
Parts of the Service are used to make research outputs available in a shareable and discoverable way. If you access, via the Service, research objects or other Content deposited by a user or originating from a public third-party resource (“Published Content“), you expressly acknowledge that nothing in these Terms transfers or grants you any licence or right in respect of that Published Content, but without prejudice to any licence or right granted to you by the relevant rightsholder (“Published Content Licence“).
Details of the Published Content Licence for a particular item of Published Content are typically referenced in the associated metadata and/or listed on the page on which the Published Content is displayed and, for example, may be in the form of a creative commons license. You agree not to remove, suppress or modify in any way the proprietary markings, including any trademark or copyright notice, or licence terms / restrictions, used in relation to any Published Content.
NOVE SBE does not review the content of any Published Content and specifically excludes (without limitation) any warranty regarding the scientific accuracy, completeness or quality of the information contained in the Published Content. You acknowledge all Published Content is accessed, used and relied upon entirely at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any loss or liability that may arise from the same.
For purposes of these Terms, the term “Content” includes any data or dataset, text or article, figure, image, software, code, script, graphic or interactive feature, or any other resource, information or content.
About the Service
You acknowledge that the Service (excluding the Published Content) is owned by or licensed to NOVA SBE and/or its affiliates, and is protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, trade secrets and/or other industrial and proprietary rights and laws, including international conventions and treaties (“Proprietary Rights”). In particular, you acknowledge that the Site and other parts of the Service, including its underlying databases, are protected by copyright as collective works and/or compilations pursuant to copyright and database laws.
Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer any Proprietary Rights in any part of the Service or give rise to any implied rights. You agree not to remove, suppress or modify in any way the proprietary markings, including any trademark or copyright notice, used in relation to any Content or other part of the Service.
Reference to the “Service” in these Terms includes associated documentation and APIs, and other sites that refer to these terms, operated by or on behalf of NOVE SBE, together with the Content made available on or via any other part of the Service, as the context permits.
Acceptable Use
Without prejudice to any Published Content Licence or Contract, the Service is provided only for your personal, non-commercial research purposes, at all times subject to these Terms. You shall not otherwise use any part of the Service without the prior and express written agreement of https://novasbe.figshare.com.
By way of example, and not as a limitation, you shall not, do or assist, encourage or permit any person to do any of the following in respect of any part of the Service:
Additionally, you must not take any action that imposes or may impose (as determined by NOVA SBE in its sole discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on NOVA SBE (or its third party providers’) infrastructure nor interfere or attempt to interfere with the normal and proper working of the Service or any activities conducted on the Service. Without limiting that discretion, NOVA SBE may determine unreasonable usage by comparing your activity for any given period against the average for all equivalent users of the relevant part of the Service.
Registration
You may browse the Site without registering, but as a condition to using certain parts of the Service, for example to deposit or publish Content, you may be required to register with https://novasbe.figsh.com and select a password and user name (“User ID“). You must not: (i) select or use as a User ID a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use as a User ID a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (iii) use as a User ID a name that is otherwise offensive or obscene. NOVA SBE reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel a User ID in its sole discretion. You are solely responsible for activity that occurs on your account and shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password. You shall not: (i) impersonate or try to impersonate another person; (ii) disclose your password to anyone else; (iii) allow anyone else to use your account; or (iv) use anyone else’s account. You must immediately notify NOVA SBE in writing of any unauthorized use of your account, or other account related security breach of which you become aware.
You represent that all information you provide is accurate and truthful and that you will maintain the accuracy and truthfulness of such information by any feature we make available for that purpose or otherwise by notifying NOVA SBE in writing.
Personal Accounts at figshare.com
Individuals may register personal accounts at https://novasbe.figshare.com (“Personal Accounts“) to use for their personal, non-commercial research purposes. If you register a Personal Account, you should only deposit your own research to that account, and only publish Content that you are free to publish, after any embargo period has expired and always in accordance with the requirements of any funding. You must also comply with the “User Submissions” section below.
Custom Figshare Portals
Figshare operates and supports custom Figshare portals (“Portal”) to help organizations make their research outputs available in a citable, shareable and discoverable manner. Portals may be hosted on a subdomain of figshare.com or a separate URL.
If you belong to or are otherwise associated with an Organization (“Portal Owner“) that has its own Portal, you may be able to register an account that is linked to that Portal. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PORTAL OWNER WILL HAVE CERTAIN ADMIN RIGHTS OVER SUCH AN ACCOUNT AND ACCESS TO / CONTROL OVER THE DATA YOU PROVIDE AS PART OF THE ACCOUNT REGISTRATION PROCESS (“ACCOUNT DATA“) AND CONTENT YOU DEPOSIT TO THE PORTAL. For example, the Portal Owner may enable or disable your access to the Portal, track usage, and configure deposit and publication settings. Accordingly, you should review the Portal Owner’s policies before depositing Content and otherwise using a Portal. While such policies do not form part of these Terms, by using any part of a Portal that requires registration, you agree with the Portal Owner to comply with them. You must also ensure that the Portal Owner is authorized and otherwise free to lawfully host and otherwise use any Content you deposit as contemplated. If you have any questions about those policies, you should discuss them with the Portal Owner. In addition to those policies, you must comply with the “User Submissions” section below.
If a Portal Owner chooses to close a Portal, typically you will have the option to transfer your Content to a Personal Account, although this may depend on the terms of Figshare’s contract with the Portal Owner. Notwithstanding, Content that has been published via a Portal may continue to be publicly accessible at figshare.com and other sites on an indefinite basis.
