Last Updated February 25, 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between you and ScienceToStartup. They govern your access to and use of our websites, APIs, platform features, and related services. If you use the services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction where higher, to use our services. You are responsible for account credentials, account activity, and maintaining accurate account information.

Each user account is personal and may not be shared in a way that circumvents plan limits or security requirements.

3. Your Content

You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant ScienceToStartup a limited, worldwide license to host, process, reproduce, and display that content solely as needed to operate, secure, and improve the services.

You are responsible for ensuring your content and usage comply with law and these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

Your use must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy. We may investigate suspected abuse and take proportionate action to protect users, systems, and legal compliance.

5. Security, Privacy, and Data Processing

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards. You are responsible for secure configuration of your own systems, credentials, and integrations.

Where required, data processing terms and international transfer terms are governed by our applicable data protection documentation.

6. Plans, Fees, and Billing

Paid plans are billed according to the pricing and billing terms presented at purchase. Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or explicitly stated in a separate agreement.

You authorize recurring charges for subscription renewals unless canceled before renewal.

7. Term and Termination

These Terms apply while you use our services. You may stop using the services at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for policy violations, legal requirements, or security risks.

Sections that by nature should survive termination will survive, including payment obligations, confidentiality, disclaimers, and liability limitations.

8. Warranties Disclaimer

Except as expressly stated in a signed enterprise agreement, services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages. Aggregate liability is limited to the greater of USD $100 or the fees paid for the affected services in the six months before the event giving rise to the claim, unless a signed agreement states otherwise.

10. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Venue and dispute procedures may be modified by a separate enterprise agreement signed by both parties.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Material updates will be posted on our legal pages. Continued use after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
