Terms and Conditions (Summary)

Short version for users who prefer a concise overview of the platform’s legal, fiscal, and operational framework.

Intellectual Property and Attribution

Authors and institutions retain ownership of their datasets and scientific results.
Each dataset is associated with an explicit license (open or restricted), defined at the time of registration or editing.
The platform displays visible attribution for authors and institutions in interfaces, reports, and, where applicable, the API.

Curated datasets may generate revenue. As a general guideline, authors receive approximately 20–40% and the platform 60–80%, depending on the service and agreement.
Monetized API access may allocate around 10–20% of attributable usage to authors, with the remainder to the platform and infrastructure.
Multi-author reports and dashboards follow proportional or predefined distribution rules, always documented in the corresponding annexes.
Authors and institutions can access dashboards with usage metrics, revenue summaries, and settlement history.

The platform is hosted and fiscally domiciled in Canada (Funio).
The main administrator operates from Colombia and is subject to Colombian tax obligations.
The Canada–Colombia tax treaty is used to avoid double taxation where applicable.
Each user, author, or institution is responsible for complying with the tax rules of their own country.
