You may not use any automated system, including robots, spiders, or offline readers, to access the platform in a manner that sends more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably produce in the same period.

The AI Scholar platform and its entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof) are owned by AI Scholar, its licensors, or other providers of such material and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the platform immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without limitation, including but not limited to a breach of these Terms.

If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using the platform or request account deletion through your account settings. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

Upon termination, your right to use the platform will immediately cease. If you wish to delete your User Content from our systems, you must do so prior to terminating your account. Some anonymized data may remain in our systems for analytical purposes as described in our Privacy Policy.
