SciLag Terms of Service

1. Introduction

The primary mission of SciLag is to host and facilitate dynamic organization of research problems in mathematics by providing free tools for mathematicians to post open problems, stemming from their research, on the internet.

The purpose of this Terms is to clarify our role as a Service provider and the way this Service can be used.

Throughout this Terms, any natural person who, as a recipient of the Service, accesses or uses the Service for any purpose is a User (“User”, “you”). Users who are logged-in to their account on SciLag will be referred to as Members, and Users who browse the content of the platform in a logged-out mode will be referred to as Visitors.

Personal Information

For the Service to function properly, we need to collect some information from you, either by asking you to provide this information or by collecting it in some cases. Thus, we ask you to check our Privacy Policy which clarifies what information we collect from you, how we collect, and what we do with that information in the course of your use of the Service.

2. Hosted content on Scilag

Users agree to the following:

Each User is the sole responsible person for any content they submit. Hence, we ask you to act with caution and responsibility when creating any material to be hosted on SciLag. In particular, when creating a content on SciLag you should refrain from certain activities outlined below (see Section 3). We reserve the right to remove your submission or even suspend your account should a violation of our Terms of Service occur.

We do not edit any material you submit to SciLag, in particular, we do not monitor the content our Members create and do not guarantee that the content hosted on SciLag and any of its web-pages represents a true and accurate information. Instead, we provide tools (such as reporting) which our Members can use to point our attention to any inappropriate material.

Although we expect our Users to be professionals in their respective fields, SciLag cannot guarantee that the content hosted on www.scilag.net and any of its web-pages is accurate and carries no violation of any laws. Should you discover such inaccuracy in a post hosted by us, please contact the posting author or our support at support@scilag.net.

3. Inappropriate activities

If you have created an account on SciLag, you may close it at a later time. However, if you have posts generated on the platform, it may not be deleted with your account. The content generated by you will be deleted if it was not used to generate any further content by other users. For instance, if you post a problem and other users add solution(s) to it, we will not be able to remove your posted problem when deleting your account, to avoid data inconsistency. We will, however, apply anonymization whenever possible, replacing your name on the posts by an artificially created anonymous name, and destroying links on SciLag leading to your profile.
