If you do not agree, you must not access or use enviPath.

<p class="mb-4">In these Terms:</p>
<ul class="mb-4 list-inside list-disc space-y-2">
<li>
<strong>&ldquo;Operator&rdquo;</strong> means the entity operating
enviPath.
</li>
<li>
<strong>&ldquo;enviPath&rdquo;</strong> means the enviPath platform,
including its databases, software, prediction systems, APIs,
documentation, and related services.
</li>
<li>
<strong>&ldquo;Academic Research&rdquo;</strong> means research
conducted primarily to generate scholarly knowledge, where:
<ul class="mt-2 ml-6 list-disc space-y-1">
<li>
the results are intended for publication in a scholarly outlet
(journal, thesis, dissertation, preprint, or equivalent);
</li>
<li>
the research outputs, methods, and conclusions are made publicly
accessible as part of that publication (subject to lawful
confidentiality limits); and
</li>
<li>
the research is not conducted for commercial advantage, private
financial gain, or the development of proprietary products or
services.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<strong>&ldquo;Commercial Use&rdquo;</strong> means any use of
enviPath that is not Academic Research, including (without
limitation):
<ul class="mt-2 ml-6 list-disc space-y-1">
<li>
use in connection with commercial products, services, or
consulting activities;
</li>
<li>
internal research and development within a for-profit
organisation;
</li>
<li>
regulatory submissions or compliance activities conducted on
behalf of a commercial entity;
</li>
<li>
use to support fee-based services, contract research,
commissioned research, or proprietary decision-making; or

use where outputs are not made publicly available as part of a
scholarly work (except where prevented by law or ethics).
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<strong>&ldquo;Mixed-Use&rdquo;</strong> means a use case that
includes both academic and commercial elements (for example,
industry-sponsored academic research, research conducted under
contract, or research whose results are used for internal or
commercial decision-making).
</li>
<li>
<strong>&ldquo;User Content&rdquo;</strong> means any data or
content you submit, upload, or otherwise make available to enviPath.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">
3. Eligibility, Declarations, and Account Security
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an
account or requesting API access, and keep it up to date.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
<strong>Academic-use declaration.</strong> Where required by the
Operator during signup, API key issuance, or access renewal, you must
confirm that your intended use qualifies as Academic Research and is
not Commercial Use.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your
credentials and API keys, and for all activity performed under your
account or using your API keys. You must promptly notify us of any
unauthorised use or suspected compromise.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">
4. Permitted Use and Licence
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
Subject to these Terms, the Operator grants you a limited,
non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use
enviPath solely for Academic Research.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
<strong>Commercial Use prohibited.</strong> All Commercial Use
(including Mixed-Use) is prohibited unless you have entered into a
separate written commercial licence agreement with the Operator.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
<strong>Mixed-Use presumption.</strong> Where a use involves Mixed-Use
elements, or where results are used for internal decision-making,
regulatory purposes, or on behalf of a third party, that use is
presumed to be Commercial Use unless the Operator agrees otherwise in
writing.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
If you are unsure whether your intended use is Academic Research, you
must contact us before using enviPath. We may request additional
information to assess your use case, and we may determine (acting
reasonably) whether a particular use is permitted.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">5. Acceptable Use</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
You must use enviPath only for lawful purposes and in accordance with
these Terms and all applicable laws.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">You must not, directly or indirectly:</p>
<ul class="mb-4 list-inside list-disc space-y-2">
<li>
Use enviPath in a manner that is unlawful, harmful, misleading, or
infringes any third-party rights;
</li>
<li>
Attempt to circumvent, probe, or test security, access controls, or
technical limitations;
</li>
<li>
Use automated systems (including bots, scrapers, crawlers, or
scripts) to access enviPath in a way that degrades performance,
bypasses controls, or exceeds reasonable usage limits or published
quotas;
</li>
<li>
Systematically extract, cache, reproduce, mirror, republish, or
redistribute substantial portions of the database or outputs,
whether manually or through automated means, even if individual
queries are permitted;
</li>
<li>
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to
derive source code, underlying models, parameters, algorithms, or
proprietary data (except to the extent expressly permitted by
non-excludable law);
</li>
<li>
Use enviPath to develop, train, validate, benchmark, or improve
competing databases, models, or commercial products without prior
written permission;
</li>
<li>
Interfere with, disrupt, or impose an unreasonable load on enviPath,
including through high-volume or abusive query patterns;
</li>
<li>
Use outputs in contexts where incorrect, incomplete, or
probabilistic results could reasonably lead to harm without
appropriate validation and domain expertise.
</li>
</ul>
<p class="mb-4">
We may publish technical documentation, rate limits, quotas, or usage
rules. Those rules form part of these Terms.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">
6. Monitoring, Logging, and Privacy
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
We may monitor, log, and analyse usage of enviPath (including API
calls, request metadata, and account activity) to operate the service,
ensure security, prevent abuse, enforce these Terms, comply with legal
obligations, and improve performance and reliability.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
Our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information
is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
Please review our
<a href="/privacy" class="link link-primary">Privacy Policy</a>.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
If you provide personal information about others in User Content, you
must ensure you have the right to do so and that those individuals
have been informed as required by applicable privacy laws.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">
7. User-Submitted Content
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
Users may submit, upload, or otherwise make available User Content to
enviPath. You retain ownership of your User Content.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
By submitting User Content, you grant the Operator a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, host, store, reproduce,
process, adapt (including to normalise formats), and analyse that User
Content solely to operate, maintain, secure, support, improve, and
validate enviPath and its scientific outputs (including model
validation and quality assurance).
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
For the avoidance of doubt, any enhancements, modifications, or
improvements to enviPath (including its models, algorithms, and
scientific outputs) that result from or are informed by User Content
may be implemented and made available across all licence types and
access tiers offered by the Operator for enviPath, including
commercial licences, provided that such use remains within and forms
part of enviPath.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
The Operator does not sell, licence, or otherwise disclose User
Content itself to other users or licensees. Access by commercial or
other licensees is limited to enviPath and any improvements thereto,
and does not include access to the underlying User Content.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
You represent and warrant that: (a) you have all necessary rights and
consents to submit the User Content; and (b) submitting and using the
User Content as contemplated by these Terms does not infringe any
third-party rights or breach any obligation of confidence.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
You must not submit User Content that is unlawful, harmful,
misleading, or infringes any third-party rights.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">
8. Intellectual Property
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
enviPath and all associated intellectual property rights (including
software, databases, compilations, documentation, models, algorithms,
and trademarks) are owned by or licenced to the Operator and its
licensors.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
Except for the limited licence granted in these Terms, no rights are
granted to you. You must not remove or alter any proprietary notices.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
Where third-party datasets, publications, or open-source components
are used, additional licence terms may apply. To the extent there is a
conflict, those third-party terms prevail for the relevant component.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">
9. Scientific Nature of Outputs
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
enviPath provides data-driven predictions, transformations, and
scientific information that may be incomplete, probabilistic, or
subject to error. Outputs are provided for research and informational
purposes only and must be independently verified by suitably qualified
users before being relied upon.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
You acknowledge enviPath is not a substitute for experimental
validation, regulatory assessment, or professional judgment.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">10. Disclaimer</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
To the maximum extent permitted by law, enviPath is provided on an
&ldquo;as is&rdquo; and &ldquo;as available&rdquo; basis. The Operator
disclaims all warranties, representations, and conditions (express or
implied), including implied warranties or conditions of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy,
availability, and non-infringement.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
We do not warrant that enviPath will be uninterrupted, timely, secure,
or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">
11. Limitation of Liability
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator (and its
contributors, suppliers, partners, and licensors) excludes all
liability for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with
enviPath, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), equity,
breach of statutory duty, or otherwise.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator will not be
liable for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or
exemplary damages (including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of
data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption), even if we have
been advised of the possibility of such loss.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
Where liability cannot be excluded, the Operator’s total aggregate
liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with
these Terms or enviPath is limited to the greater of: (a) NZD 100; and
(b) any fees paid by you to the Operator for enviPath in the 12 months
immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be
excluded.
</p>
<h2 class="mt-8 mb-4 text-2xl font-semibold">
12. New Zealand Consumer Law
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under the
Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the <strong>&ldquo;CGA&rdquo;</strong>)
where those rights cannot lawfully be excluded.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
If you acquire or use enviPath <strong>in trade</strong> (as defined
in the CGA), you warrant that the services are acquired for business
purposes. You agree that, to the extent permitted by law, the CGA does
not apply, and the parties agree it is fair and reasonable to contract
out of the CGA for that supply.

14. Enforcement, Suspension, and Termination
</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
For detailed license information about enviPath data and software,
We may suspend, restrict, throttle, or terminate your access to

or otherwise used enviPath inconsistently with its intended purpose.
</p>
<p class="mb-4">
Where practicable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to remedy
before taking action. However, we may take immediate action without
notice where we reasonably consider it necessary to protect enviPath,
other users, data integrity, security, service availability, or our
legal interests.

Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that by their
nature should survive termination, including intellectual property,
