Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing the Zenith platform ("the Service"), you agree to be legally bound by these Institutional Terms of Service. If you are representing an organization, you affirm authority to bind said entity to these protocols.

2. Licensing and SKU Tiers

Nilus Lab provides tiered access to the Zenith Platform based on organization type and intended use:

• Academic Tier: For non-commercial research by accredited institutions. Results must be published with attribution to Nilus Lab.
• Biotech Pilot: Research-use evaluation access for early-stage biotechnology firms. Commercial terms to be agreed after data-licence review.
• Pharma Enterprise: Full commercial licensing for large-scale therapeutic discovery, includes dedicated compute nodes and technical diligence support.

3. Limitation of Liability & Research Use Only (RUO)

Nilus Lab provides computational target discovery and causal directionality audits across 12 public cardiac datasets strictly as a Research Use Only (RUO) decision-support system. Earlier transcriptomic age-clock evaluations demonstrated moderate donor-level correlation under leave-one-donor-out cross-validation (Pearson r = 0.46, MAE = 6.97 yr) and are superseded by the 4-angle multi-cohort target discovery and causal audit pipeline. All target nominations require independent experimental wet-lab validation (in vitro hiPSC-CM and in vivo models).

Platform Architecture Disclosure

No structural prediction capability is currently deployed on the Zenith platform. The protein-folding endpoint has been permanently decommissioned, and the platform has generated no structural coordinates, complex assemblies, or binding affinity outputs.

Status of Structural Outputs

Nilus Lab confirms that no atomic coordinate files, molecular structures, or derived predictions exist on or have been exported from the platform. Any references to structural modeling terms or output licenses have been retired accordingly.

Research Boundaries

All active research and computational tooling within the Zenith platform operate strictly under Research Use Only (RUO) designations. The platform makes no clinical claims and does not provide diagnostic or therapeutic structural validations.

1. Protocol Data Collection

We collect minimal personal metadata necessary for authentication, specifically institutional email address and encrypted password hash via Firebase/Google protocols.

2. Intellectual Property (IP)

Any parameters, gene sets, or protocol configurations uploaded to the Zenith platform remain the exclusive intellectual property of the licensed user/organization. Nilus Lab does not use private simulation inputs for base-model training.

3. Institutional Telemetry

We collect anonymous system telemetry (e.g., vCPU load, inference latency) to ensure platform stability and node health across the Zenith cluster.

Nilus Lab Group is committed to full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

All institutional data is stored on nodes located within the European Economic Area (EEA) or jurisdictions with equivalent data protection protocols.

Institutional Data Rights

Users maintain the right to complete account erasure and simulation history purging. Requests for data portability (JSON/CSV) are processed within 2 institutional business hours.
