Terms of service
Last updated:
These terms cover the Accelerating Astrophysical Discovery with Foundation Models (AAD) website and its signup and community features, operated by the consortium organisers. Questions can be sent to Joshua G. Albert at jgalbert@caltech.edu.
Open science and reuse
Reading, linking, citation, discussion, and responsible scientific reuse are welcome. Code, datasets, publications, and other materials remain subject to their stated licences and attribution requirements. These terms add no restrictions to an open-source or open-content licence, or to uses permitted by law. Public availability does not by itself grant rights to third-party works, portraits, personal information, or institutional names and logos.
Your contributions
You retain ownership of your contributions. Submit information you are entitled to share, respect others' privacy, and do not post confidential material, harassment, spam, or malicious content. Profile publication is optional and follows your permission choices; it does not transfer ownership to the consortium. Public comments are visible through GitHub. The privacy policy available in the footer explains data handling and removal requests.
Participation and availability
Signing up expresses interest; it does not guarantee funding, employment, authorship, or access to every consortium resource. Scientific credit and project responsibilities are agreed separately. We may moderate harmful or unlawful contributions and restrict abusive use while preserving good-faith scientific disagreement.
Research materials may be preliminary. Check sources and validate results before relying on them. The website is provided as available, without guarantees of uninterrupted service or scientific accuracy. Nothing here excludes liability or rights that applicable law does not allow us to exclude. Third-party services have their own terms.
Changes and contact
Updates will carry a new date on this page. Changes do not revoke rights already granted under an open licence. Contact the organisers with questions or concerns so we can work towards a reasonable resolution.
