Terms and Conditions of Use

Terms & Conditions: The following are terms and conditions of free access to the VOSON System. The terms are between Uberlink Corporation and the user who is being granted privileges allowing the creation of new web crawl datasets, and the addition of new seed URLs into existing web crawl datasets. These terms and conditions are important because running the VOSON System involves resources relating to bandwidth, server running costs and costs of personnel required to maintain and develop the VOSON System. The creation and analysis of new voson datasets may also entail significant time being spent by the user (e.g. identification of seed URLs, categorisation of sites etc.), and so users have a right to know under what conditions they are obtaining access to the VOSON System. 1. The VOSON System is provided on an "as is" basis -- there are no warranties or guarantees of "fitness for purpose" etc. 2. We will determine the appropriateness of any suggested seed URL (e.g. relevance to the proposed research topic) before it is crawled. 3. There is no guarantee on the duration of access to the VOSON System. 4. Users will be given advance warning of a planned termination of access to the VOSON System and will have an opportunity to download any data they may have collected, for analysis with third-party tools. 5. While we will undertake to backup the data you collect using the VOSON System, we make no guarantees on the backup. You will be expected to also take responsibility for backing up your data by downloading from the VOSON system on a periodic basis. 6. We will attempt to fix bugs in a timely fashion, provide up-to-date and useful documentation and respond to user queries regarding the software. However, we make no guarantees as to the level of help we will provide users. 7. There is no guarantee on how long data collection (crawling) may take - since we will approve seed URLs before they are crawled, there will necessarily be a delay. However, we hope that in the future the need for manual inspection of seed URLs will be reduced. 8. The VOSON System is research software that is still at a "proof of concept" stage. Any research you undertake with VOSON should similarly be exploratory. We highly recommend that you initially conduct a small data collection and analysis of the collected data before embarking on a significant project. 9. If you plan to embark on significant research project, you may wish to contact Robert Ackland about a formal consulting agreement i.e. access to "premium" VOSON services, rather than the "free" or "basic" services that are offered free-of-charge to any researcher. 10. We reserve the right to use any of the data that you might collect using the VOSON System for publishing details on the usage of the VOSON System. However, this would not mean using the complete dataset(s) that you have constructed, but rather we might want to construct "meta datasets" that encompass the web crawls that individual researchers have conducted. Also we might be interested in studying what topics people are using the VOSON System for. So, you need to realise that aspects of your work with VOSON may be visible to other users of VOSON. That is, via the construction of meta datasets, it may be possible for other users of VOSON to see what sites you have been crawling and the categorisations schemes you are developing for your research. So this is another reason for you to be careful about your selection of seed URLs. If you are unwilling to share your data in this way you should contact us about "premium" VOSON access, which entails a fee (but you keep your data to yourself). 11. We reserve the right to revoke access to the VOSON System of any user who is not using it for valid research purposes, or who is otherwise using the software in a manner that is deemed inappropriate.
