Content and Intellectual Property

Our Content

All experiments, learning materials, platform code, design elements, and documentation on Scivra are the intellectual property of Scivra and are protected by copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without explicit written permission.

Your Content

  • You retain ownership of content you create using UPG or submit through lab notebooks and other features.

  • You may remove your published content at any time, which will revoke the display license (though forks already created by other users will persist).

AI-Generated Content

Content generated by UPG is created using AI (Anthropic Claude). You are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of any AI-generated content before relying on it for educational purposes. Scivra does not guarantee the scientific accuracy of AI-generated visualizations.

Privacy and Data Collection

Your use of Scivra is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, including specific protections for users under 13 (COPPA) and European users (GDPR). By using Scivra, you also agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy.

Educational Disclaimer

Scivra is an educational supplement, not a replacement for formal instruction, laboratory safety training, or accredited coursework. Our experiments are virtual simulations and should not be treated as substitutes for hands-on laboratory experiences where such experiences are required by your curriculum or institution.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the service will be resolved through binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in English. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis, not as a class action.
