These Terms govern your use of Scholar Feed, operated by [your company legal name] ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the service you agree to them.

The service

Scholar Feed provides a discovery feed of academic papers using third-party metadata. We don't host the papers themselves and can't guarantee the accuracy or availability of external content.

Accounts

You are responsible for your account and for keeping your credentials secure. You must provide accurate information and be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country). New registrations are reviewed by an administrator before the full feature set is enabled; we may decline a registration at our discretion.

Acceptable use

Don't misuse the service: no automated scraping beyond reasonable personal use, no attempts to disrupt or reverse-engineer the service, and no unlawful activity.

Advertising

The service is free and supported by advertising. Advertisers are subject to our separate advertising terms.

Disclaimers & liability

The service is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and limit our liability to the amount you paid us in the prior 12 months. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [your country], and disputes are subject to the courts of [your jurisdiction], without affecting your mandatory consumer rights.
