Crowdhelix:
Crowdhelix is an online platform that we make available at www.crowdhelix.com, as well as related services we provide from time to time. You, and other users, are able to use Crowdhelix to post appropriate opportunities for collaboration on grant proposals and short projects, and send messages, attachments and comments to other users, and access other services provided in order to facilitate networking between different organisations and individuals in the field of research and technological innovation. When we refer to the "posting" of content in this Agreement, we mean any uploading, submission, storage, and/or transmission of information and/or materials using Crowdhelix, by any means.
To register for Crowdhelix you must provide a valid email address as well as any other information we request in order to complete the registration process, and be either an employee, partner or director of an organisation that is a client of ours and has been granted use of Crowdhelix. During the registration process you will be asked to select which organisation you are associated to from a list of our clients. If your organisation is not listed, please email us at [email protected] to discuss options and pricing.
You must neither impersonate another person nor misrepresent your identity or affiliations with other persons or entities when using Crowdhelix. In particular, you must not attempt to associate your account with an organisation that is a client of ours unless you are an employee, partner or director of that organisation.
You should only post content on Crowdhelix if you have the right to do so. You have sole responsibility for the content you post, and you accept all of the consequences of posting said content, even if this is done by another person using your account. All content posted, including content sent via direct messages to users, may be visible to us, other Crowdhelix users, search engines and any other internet user worldwide. We may also display a summarised extract of the content you post on Crowdhelix, as well as your name and the name of your organisation, on various public-facing pages of the Crowdhelix website, where it will be visible to the public and therefore anyone in the world. You should not, therefore, post any content in respect of which any duty of confidentiality applies or which you do not wish to make public for other reasons, including (but not limited to) information sent in direct messages to other users. If you are unsure whether you have the right to post certain content on Crowdhelix, do not post that content.
Although we keep a record of, and use, the metadata of direct messages sent to and from you on Crowdhelix, it is not our policy to review the content of these messages unless we are legally obliged to do so by a competent authority such as a law enforcement agency, or unless we have reasonable grounds to suspect that you are abusing Crowdhelix in contravention of these Terms. If you have any questions about the visibility of direct messages on Crowdhelix, or any other questions about posting content, you can email us at [email protected].

We reserve the right to remove content that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be in breach of these Terms.
