Draft notice: this is placeholder legal text, not reviewed by a lawyer. It should not be relied on as a binding agreement until reviewed by qualified legal counsel before any public/commercial launch.
ScholarMatch is a platform that helps researchers and students find collaborators based on shared research interests, post and apply to research opportunities, and message confirmed matches.
You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity that happens under your account. You may delete your account at any time from Account Settings, which permanently removes your profile, postings, applications, and messages.
Don't use ScholarMatch to harass other users, post false information, scrape the platform, or use it for anything unlawful. We may suspend or remove accounts that violate this.
You retain ownership of the profile information, postings, and messages you submit. By submitting them, you allow ScholarMatch to display and process that content as needed to operate the service (e.g. showing your profile to other users, ranking recommendations).
ScholarMatch is provided "as is." We don't guarantee you'll find a collaborator, that matches will be accurate, or that the service will be uninterrupted.
We may update these terms as the product changes. Continued use of ScholarMatch after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Questions about these terms can be sent to the account owner.
