User Terms
Last Updated: 14/11/22

What does this document do

Graphium has developed software which can analyse files to identify and collate topics of scientific significance. Files can be uploaded from a user’s local file storage system or directly from a hosted file storage system. Topics and key-phrases are extracted from the files which can be searched by users. The software can then be used to convert the unstructured data into interactive knowledge maps and visualisations based on the searches, which allows users to easily assess research gaps, trends and interconnections. This is the Graphium Service.

These User Terms set out how the Graphium Service may be accessed and used by our customers and persons authorised by our customers (Users). This document should be read in conjunction with our privacy notice, available online at https://www.graphium.ai/privacy-policy, which explains what information we collect about you, what we use it for and who we share it with as well as explaining your rights and what to do if you have concerns about how Graphium uses your information.

Users must only use the Graphium Service for permitted purposes and subject to any additional requirements agreed with our customers. Users must not use the Graphium Service for any other purpose or for any restricted activities set out in these User Terms.  

If you do not agree with any obligations or restrictions in these User Terms, you must not use the Graphium Service and you should ask the organisation that has granted you access to arrange for deletion of your account.  

‍Any breach of these User Terms may result in us suspending or terminating your or your organisation’s access to the Graphium Service and taking legal action against you or your organisation.
