    Your access and use of the Site is subject to your compliance with these Terms. We also provide as a public courtesy the software, models, and other data downloaded, accessed, or otherwise used by Licensee on and within the Site, including but not limited to all finite element models (collectively the “Content”) subject to your compliance with these Terms and your agreement to the terms of the License which sets forth the terms on which you may use the Content. We may change, suspend, discontinue, or remove any part of the Site at any time, without prior notice, including the availability of any Site feature, services or Content. If you violate any of these Terms, the Citation Policy, or the License or circumvent (or attempt to circumvent) any security or technological measures on the Site, your right to use the Site and Content automatically terminates.

  2. Restrictions on Use of Content

    Without limiting the specific Terms below, your use of the Site and the Content is subject to the following restrictions:

    • Your use of the Content, including creation of derivative works thereof, must be for research or other noncommercial purposes unless it is otherwise set forth in these Terms or the License. You may, however, publish a limited set of the Content in a scholarly journal, textbook or other professional, academic or journalistic publication (with appropriate citation per the Citation Policy) and still be in compliance with these Terms.
    • Your use must be in accordance with the Freedom to Innovate section below, which allows you to make Improvements (as defined below) to advance your research purposes, but prohibits you from using any intellectual property rights on such Improvements that would limit our freedom to innovate.
    • If you use the Content, you must follow the Citation Policy or, if your use is not specifically described in the Citation Policy, you must still provide proper attribution of the source in accordance with applicable academic and/or industry customs and standards.

    For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that you have no right modify, create derivative works, or otherwise use for any purpose any other materials, data, works, or other information on the Site besides the Content.
