PURPOSE AND GOALS OF THE ASSET EXCHANGE; OUR ROLE
1. The Exchange is intended to enable Users to find and share freely available lab equipment and consumables for scientific and research purposes.
2. We are not involved in any transaction between Asset Providers and Recipients. Rather, the Exchange facilitates Listings of Assets for transfer from Providers to potential Recipients. Any disputes that would arise following any transaction between Users shall be dealt with between the parties involved and will under no circumstances imply the participation or responsibility of Therapoid. Therapoid’ role is limited to providing hosting services and facilitating Listings, and therefore Therapoid is not responsible or liable for any content added, created, uploaded, submitted, distributed, or posted by Users or third parties on the AE Site. Therapoid has no control over such content and therefore provides no guarantees regarding the quality, safety, accuracy, morality or legality thereof.
3. Therapoid has no control over (i) the accuracy of the information provided by Users, be it with regard to the personal or professional data linked to their account, the content of their Listing(s), or when or how they interact with other Users; (ii) the lawfulness of Listed goods; or (iii) the capacity of Providers and Recipients to execute their obligations related to Asset transfer.
4. Therapoid disclaims all responsibility and liability relating to or arising out of any complaint, any dispute between Users, or any present or future, presumed or not, ascertained or not, personal injury and material damage directly or indirectly resulting from the use of the AE Services. By using the AE Services, you agree that Therapoid is not responsible or liable for any content, for example, text, information, data, communications, usernames, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio, video, items, links and any other material posted by you, other Users, or outside parties on the AE Site. Therefore, ultimately, you use the AE Services at your own risk.
ASSET SHARING
1. Publishing and Management of Listings
  1. Any visitor to the AE Site can see the Listing placed on the Exchange, but only Users can contact Providers, and become Recipients or Providers themselves. Once your Listing is created using the functionality of the Exchange and AE Site, the Listing will be automatically published on the Exchange. When published on the Exchange, your listing will be visible to any visitor.
  2. Once your Listing is published on the Exchange, its information can be updated, unpublished or deleted at any time.
  3. We may, without notice, delete a Listing published on the Exchange in the following cases: (i) the text of the Listing violates one or more of the AE Terms of Service; (ii) any picture(s) in the Listing violate(s) one or more of the AE Terms of Service or do(es) not properly represent the Asset; (iii) the Asset that is the subject of the Listing cannot reasonably be considered useful for scientific research activities or the communication of the results from such activities; (iv) the Listing contains one or several errors notably in relation to its location; (v) the Listing violates any law, such as, for example, because it is linked to an asset that cannot be transferred (such as biological samples from protected species).
  4. Content Posted By Parties Other Than Therapoid. Opinions, advice, statements, offers, or other information or content made available through the AE Services, but not directly by Therapoid, are those of their respective authors, and should not necessarily be relied upon. Such authors are solely responsible for such content. Therapoid does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information on the AE Site and neither adopts nor endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any statement made by parties other than Therapoid. Under no circumstances will Therapoid be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from anyone's reliance on information or other content posted on the AE Site by others or transmitted to Users.
  5. It is possible that other Users or visitors (including unauthorized users, or "hackers") may post or transmit fake or offensive materials on the AE Site and that you may be involuntarily exposed to such fake or offensive materials. While Therapoid takes precautions to avoid unauthorized users from accessing our site, we offer no guarantee that this will not occur.
2. Provider Responsibility
  1. The Provider assumes sole responsibility regarding the content of its Listing(s).
  2. The Provider must only place Listings linked to available, legal and fully operational Assets on the Exchange. That is: (i) listed Assets should be in working order, properly calibrated and not in use by either the Provider or a third party at the time of transfer to a Recipient; (ii) any chemicals should be active and not degraded; (iii) listed biological material should have been legally obtained (i.e. in agreement with all required national and international capture laws and/or ethical guidelines); (iv) the Provider has all rights and permissions necessary to make available and transfer Assets listed by the Provider via the Exchange; (v) after having accepted a transfer request, the Provider will proceed to transfer the Asset(s) as arranged with the Recipient. Therapoid will not be held liable for damages resulting from the fact that a Provider fails to abide by any of these Terms or any other AE Terms of Service.
  3. Ability to fulfill: as a Provider, you must be able to fulfill or prove the ability to fulfill the full terms of your Listing(s) for quantities offered or listed as available through the Exchange.
  4. Therapoid provides no insurance for Assets or transfers to Recipients and disclaims all liability and risk of loss for transfers to Recipients.
  5. Therapoid has no lability or responsibility for payment or non-payment of any taxes or duties related to transfers of Assets to Recipients.
  6. In case a Provider encounters a problem with another Recipient, we invite the Provider to contact us by email at Legal@Therapoid.net.
3. Recipient Responsibility
  1. Once a Provider has accepted a transfer request, the Recipient must arrange for transfer from the Provider according to terms and conditions specified in the Listing or otherwise agreed by the Recipient and Provider. That is, unless otherwise agreed between the Provider and the Recipient, the Recipient will be responsible to make arrangements and pay costs for shipping, power conversion and any other expenses related to pick up and transfer of the Asset to a location of the Recipient’s choice. Grant funding for shipping, maintenance and power conversion of Assets may be available for such purposes, and applied for, through Therapoid Grant Site [https://therapoid.net/en/funding/all/].
  2. Use of Assets: With respect to Assets received through the Exchange, terms and conditions or special instructions, if any, required by a Provider in relation to the Asset(s) must be complied with if the Asset(s) is/are accepted. Assets received through the Exchange CANNOT be: given to other persons or organizations or sold in person, on web sites, in retail stores, or any other manner. Assets cannot be conveyed or transferred to other persons or organizations in any manner except through the Exchange.
  3. You agree to post an Asset’s availability back to the Exchange once you are no longer using it, and to maintain possession of it from the time you receive it until you transfer it to another Recipient through the Exchange.
  4. The Recipient is responsible to use received Assets with care and in an appropriate manner. When finished using an Asset, the Recipient shall make the Asset available through the Exchange in the same condition as received, except normal and reasonable wear and tear.
  5. A Recipient may use Assets only for their intended purposes and lawful activities. Therapoid will not be held liable for any use of the Asset by a Recipient, including but not limited to illegal or inappropriate uses.
  6. In case a Recipient encounters a problem with a Provider, we invite the Recipient to contact us by email at Legal@Therapoid.net.
