    3. Intended Use

    Labreador is designed as a research and analysis tool for scientific professionals. The application is intended for research use only (RUO) and should not be used for clinical diagnostics or regulatory submissions without independent validation.

    4. No Warranty & Disclaimer

    THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We make no warranty that (a) the application will meet your requirements, (b) results obtained will be accurate, complete, or reliable, (c) statistical calculations, curve fitting, interpolations, or any other computational outputs will be free from errors, bugs, or defects, or (d) the application will be available uninterrupted.

    5. Limitation of Liability

    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LABREADOR, ITS DEVELOPERS, CONTRIBUTORS, AFFILIATES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO: (a) the use or inability to use the application; (b) errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in calculations, statistical analyses, curve fitting, dose-response modeling, or any other computational output; (c) reliance on results produced by the application for publications, regulatory submissions, clinical decisions, or any other purpose; (d) data loss or corruption; (e) misinterpretation of results; or (f) any decision or action taken based on application outputs. This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

    6. Assumption of Risk

    You expressly understand and agree that your use of the application is at your sole risk. You assume full responsibility for all consequences arising from the use of any results, analyses, or outputs generated by the application, including but not limited to publication of erroneous data, incorrect scientific conclusions, failed experiments, or regulatory non-compliance.

    7. User Responsibilities

    • You are solely responsible for the accuracy and validity of data you input into the application
    • You are solely responsible for independently verifying and validating all output results before any use, including publication, presentation, or decision-making
    • You must follow your institution's data handling, quality assurance, and publication guidelines
    • You acknowledge that Labreador is a computational tool and does not replace professional scientific judgment, peer review, or independent validation
    • You agree not to rely on the application as the sole basis for any scientific conclusion, clinical decision, or regulatory submission

    8. Indemnification

    10. Modifications

    We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the application after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date.

    11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

    These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the service operator resides, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from these terms or the use of the application shall be resolved through binding arbitration, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

    12. Severability

    If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
