Terms of Service

By accessing or using Scholaris (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). The Service is operated by José Luis Saorín Ferrer, located in the Canary Islands, Spain (“we”, “us”, “our”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

Scholaris is an AI-powered bibliography management application that processes academic documents on your Scholaris server. The Service includes document conversion, semantic search, and auto-citation features. Cloud AI may be used for vision tasks (image understanding); no other document data is transmitted to external servers.

To use the Service, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information, keep your credentials secure, and notify us immediately of any unauthorized access. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

Scholaris offers a paid subscription (“Scholaris Pro”) with a 14-day free trial. After the trial, the subscription is billed monthly at the applicable rate (€20, $22 USD, or £18 depending on your region). You may cancel at any time. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods.

We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days’ notice. Price changes do not affect the current billing cycle.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable regulations.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the Service beyond what is permitted by law.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on the Service or its infrastructure.
• Share your account credentials with third parties or allow unauthorized access.
• Use the Service to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.

The Service, including its software, design, and documentation, is the intellectual property of José Luis Saorín Ferrer. You retain full ownership of your documents and any content you upload or create using the Service. We claim no rights over your data.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. AI processing is handled by your Scholaris server. We do not access, collect, or store the content of your documents, except where cloud vision AI is used for image understanding tasks.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption.

Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount paid by you in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these Terms. You may cancel your subscription and delete your account at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain. Any disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection laws that may apply.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
