1. Agreement and authority
These terms apply to access to this website and its public materials. If you act for an institution or company, you represent that you are authorized to act for it. Do not use the site if you do not agree to these terms. Access to separately delivered software or services may require affirmative acceptance of additional terms.
2. Contracting provider
“CryoMaestro” and “we” refer to the provider identified in the applicable order form, deployment agreement, or software license. Where no such agreement exists, this site is maintained by the CryoMaestro project maintainers. The operator’s final legal name, notice address, and governing-law clause must be added before commercial contracting through this site begins.
3. Research use and operator responsibility
You are responsible for validating CryoMaestro, its configuration, integrations, plugins, workflows, permissions, and outputs for your environment. Before any live microscope action, follow the instrument and camera manufacturers’ procedures, preserve a recoverable instrument state, verify interlocks and limits, supervise automation, and maintain an independent way to stop unsafe or unexpected operation. Outputs require review by qualified personnel.
4. No performance, savings, or scientific guarantee
Examples, demonstrations, comparison tables, capacity calculations, and ROI estimates are illustrative. Results depend on hardware, samples, integrations, configuration, staffing, utilization, and workload. They are not measured results for your facility and do not promise throughput, uptime, resolution, accuracy, savings, scientific outcome, or regulatory status.
5. Third-party software and services
Third-party names identify their respective projects or products. Their licenses and terms control those components. CryoMaestro does not grant rights it does not own and is not endorsed by third-party publishers merely because an integration or compatibility statement appears on this site. Public plugin binary distribution is paused pending license and provenance review.
6. Permitted use
You may use the public site for legitimate evaluation, research, documentation, and interoperability purposes. You may not disrupt the site, bypass controls, introduce malicious code, misrepresent affiliation, use materials unlawfully, or use the site to infringe another person’s rights. Automated access must respect published interfaces and reasonable rate limits.
7. Intellectual property
CryoMaestro names, site design, documentation, and original materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Software and third-party materials may carry separate licenses. No right is granted by implication. Feedback may be used without restriction unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website, documentation, APIs, examples, and materials are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, security, compatibility, or error-free operation. Nothing here overrides an express warranty in a signed agreement.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CryoMaestro and its contributors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, specimens, instrument time, revenue, research opportunity, goodwill, or business interruption arising from the public site or materials. Aggregate liability for website-only use will not exceed the greater of US$100 or the amount paid specifically for that use during the preceding twelve months. Some jurisdictions do not permit every exclusion; applicable law controls.
10. Changes, suspension, and separate agreements
We may correct, withdraw, or suspend public materials, including plugin metadata, when safety, security, licensing, or accuracy requires it. Updated terms apply prospectively from their posted effective date. Signed customer agreements control over conflicting website language.
11. Disputes and notices
Use the notice contact in your order form or deployment agreement before starting a formal dispute. No arbitration, class waiver, governing law, or exclusive venue is imposed by this draft website policy; those provisions require the contracting entity and qualified counsel.
