Terms of Service
DRAFT (v1.0-draft) — pending legal review. Not yet legal advice; to be finalised with counsel before public launch.
Effective date: 26 June 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Scinova Group LLP (UEN T23LL1363K), a Singapore Limited Liability Partnership ("ReadNTag", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the ReadNTag service at readntag.com — including the web app, browser extension and Word add-in (the "Service") — you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Your account
You must provide accurate information and keep your password and access tokens confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account. You must be at least 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction) and able to form a binding contract.
2. The Service
ReadNTag helps you capture, read, annotate, organise and cite research papers. We may add, change or remove features over time. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
3. Your content & responsibilities
- You retain ownership of the references, files, annotations and other content you add ("**Your
Content**").
- You grant us a limited licence to host, process and display Your Content solely to operate and
provide the Service to you (and to people you explicitly share with).
- You are responsible for the documents you upload. You represent that you have the right to
upload and use them and that doing so does not infringe any third party's copyright or other rights. See our Acceptable Use Policy and Copyright & Takedown policy.
- Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Scinova Group LLP (and its partners, officers
and employees) from any claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms — including any claim that Your Content infringes a third party's copyright or other rights.
4. Acceptable use
Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate it.
5. Third-party metadata
The Service displays bibliographic metadata and enrichment (citation counts, open-access status, retraction flags, related works) sourced from third parties. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or currency of this third-party information.
6. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design and branding, is owned by Scinova Group LLP and protected by law. Except for the rights expressly granted to you, we reserve all rights. ReadNTag is a proprietary, closed-source product; open-source components we use are credited in our third-party notices.
7. Fees (future)
The Service is currently provided without charge in its self-hosted / local form. If we introduce paid plans, the applicable pricing, billing and cancellation terms will be presented before you subscribe.
8. Disclaimers & limitation of liability
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Scinova Group LLP (and its partners, officers and employees) are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or SGD 100. See our full Disclaimer & Liability. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under Singapore law.
9. Suspension & termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, or if required by law. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; you may export Your Content beforehand, and we will handle remaining data per our Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified in-app or by email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have where you live.
