12. Educational and Scientific Disclaimer

BioInformatix provides courses and materials for educational and informational purposes.

Although we aim to provide accurate and useful educational content, scientific knowledge, software, databases, tools, packages, APIs and recommended practices may change over time.

BioInformatix does not guarantee any particular:

• Research result.

• Academic grade.
• Employment result.
• Admission decision.
• Professional advancement.

Users remain responsible for independently evaluating methods, results, software outputs, datasets and scientific conclusions before relying on them for research or professional purposes.

BioInformatix educational materials are not intended to constitute personalized medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or clinical decision-making.

Examples involving genomic, biomedical, clinical or health-related data are provided for educational purposes unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Users working in regulated clinical, diagnostic or healthcare environments are responsible for ensuring that their activities comply with applicable professional, ethical, institutional, validation, privacy and regulatory requirements.

14. Artificial Intelligence Content

Courses involving artificial intelligence or generative AI may demonstrate third-party AI systems and related technologies.

AI-generated outputs can contain errors, omissions, fabricated information, insecure code or inappropriate recommendations.

Users should independently review and validate AI-generated material before using it for research, software development, analysis, publications, clinical work or professional decision-making.

15. Third-Party Services and Platform Availability

BioInformatix may integrate with or link to third-party services including payment services, software tools, scientific databases, analytics providers, hosting services, communication platforms, AI services and research resources.

• Platform security is threatened.
• Intellectual-property rights are being infringed.
• The user has engaged in unlawful activity.

Where appropriate and reasonably practicable, we may provide notice or an opportunity to resolve the issue.

Termination does not affect rights or obligations that arose before termination.

17. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer-protection law.

Subject to the preceding paragraph and to the maximum extent permitted by law, BIOINFORMATIX LIMITED will not be responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the platform where such losses were not reasonably foreseeable or where liability may lawfully be limited.

• Unauthorized account use caused by failure to protect credentials.
• Third-party platforms outside our reasonable control.
• Use of educational materials contrary to their stated purpose.

This section applies except to the extent that applicable law provides otherwise.

Third-party services used by BioInformatix may independently process certain information according to their own privacy policies where applicable.

Please review our Privacy Policy for additional information.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, payment arrangements, legal requirements, security practices or business operations.

The current version will be published on this page together with its revised effective date.

Material changes will apply prospectively where required by law.

20. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights or jurisdictional rights that apply to you based on your country of residence.

Nothing in this section deprives a consumer of protections that cannot legally be waived.

21. Severability and No Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

A failure by BioInformatix to enforce a provision of these Terms on one occasion does not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it in the future.
