Terms of Service

The Service is intended for use by educational institutions and their instructors, faculty, teaching assistants, and students in connection with running lab sessions. You may use the Service only if you are authorized by your institution and are able to form a binding agreement. If you use the Service on behalf of an institution, you represent that you are authorized to do so. Demo access additionally requires a signup password provided by an instructor.

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information in your account, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

Demo access lets an institution trial the Service with accounts that hold no email address. Creating one requires a signup password provided by an instructor and one other thing, which depends on the school: a seat number at a dental school, where the account holds no name at all, or your name at an undergraduate school, where there is no seat to identify you by. When the account is created, the Service generates a four-digit PIN and shows it to you once; you do not choose it, and it is not shown again. (Accounts created before this change keep the PIN chosen at sign-up.) That identifier and your PIN are your credentials: keep the PIN to yourself, since anyone who knows both can access that demo account. If you forget it, the dean at your school can issue a new one.

Demo accounts can upload photographs of lab work, subject to a small storage allowance. A photograph is stored against your seat number and is never linked to a name or an email address; upload images of your own work only, not faces, badges, or anything else that would identify a person. Because a demo account has no email address, there is no self-service way to recover it. Recovery goes through your instructor. We may limit, suspend, or close demo signup at any time.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service in violation of any law or your institution's policies.
• Access, or try to access, data or accounts that are not yours, or circumvent the Service's access controls.
• Disrupt, overload, scrape, or reverse-engineer the Service, or use it to build a competing product.
• Upload unlawful, harmful, or infringing content, or use the Service to store information it isn't meant to hold (for example, payment card or health data).

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Student records entered into the Service belong to the institution, which controls them; we process that data on the institution's behalf and under any agreement in place.

The Service, including its software, design, and content (other than data you or your institution provide), is owned by BML Innovations LLC and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service while these Terms are in effect. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service except as expressly permitted.

SimLabDisplay and the SimLabDisplay logo are trademarks of BML Innovations LLC. Nothing in these Terms grants you a right to use them.

If you send us suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback about the Service ("Feedback"), you do so voluntarily and without any expectation of payment, credit, or confidentiality. You grant BML Innovations LLC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, create derivative works from, and otherwise exploit your Feedback for any purpose, without obligation to you.

Feedback does not give you, or any institution you work for or attend, any ownership of or other right in the Service, or in any feature, improvement, or other work that uses or is based on your Feedback; all of it remains the property of BML Innovations LLC. If you give Feedback in the course of work or study for an institution, you confirm that you are permitted to grant this license.

The Service is a tool that assists instructors in running labs; instructors remain responsible for their own labs and decisions. We may add, change, or remove features, and we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may perform maintenance or suspend the Service when needed.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BML Innovations LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data or lost profits, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or if we reasonably need to protect the Service or its users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. The date at the top reflects the latest revision; continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
