Downloadable versions of CRISPResso2 are governed by separate terms located in the applicable download repositories.

As between Edilytics and you, Edilytics owns all Aggregated Information, including all intellectual property rights therein, and Edilytics shall have the right to sell, license or otherwise exploit all Aggregated Information, including without limitation for providing benchmarking to you and other users of CRISPResso2 technology and other Edilytics products.

You acknowledge and agree that you have complete control over, and are solely responsible for, the design, manufacture, testing, quality assurance, performance and functionality of all products arising out of your usage of the Edilytics Technology and that Edilytics has no oversight, control, or involvement in any of the foregoing decisions or activities. Edilytics shall not be liable for any damages, losses or liabilities in aggregate in excess of one hundred dollars (\$100).

Accordingly, if you are an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, you only receive those rights with respect to the Edilytics Technology as are granted to all other end users, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.

This Agreement is deemed to be made under and shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Massachusetts, exclusive of its choice of law rules.

  13. Updates. Edilytics may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Edilytics Technology after notice constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

CRISPResso2 PRO Addendum**

  1. Payment for Additional Features. A paid subscription to CRISPResso2 PRO ("PRO") includes certain additional features (which may include faster runs, long-term report storage, advanced reporting and collaboration tools) that are not available with the standard CRISPResso2 version. Such additional features, to the extent provided by Edilytics pursuant to this CRISPResso2 PRO Addendum, constitute Edilytics Technology, and are subject to the terms set forth in the Agreement. Please see the Website for updated pricing and features, as well as payment options.

  2. User Group. The benefits of a fully paid and current PRO subscription may be utilized by up to five (5) members ("PRO Subscribers") of a single research laboratory within an academic research institution (each, a "Laboratory"). Additional seats for use within a Laboratory may be purchased at the then-current rate through the Website or by contacting Edilytics at support@edilytics.com. For clarity, a separate subscription is required for each Laboratory within a given academic research institution. Any PRO Subscriber who ends their affiliation with the applicable Laboratory will no longer be a PRO Subscriber under such Laboratory and will lose access to the PRO features.

  3. All other terms apply. Except explicitly provided herein, all other terms of the Agreement shall apply to PRO, including any additional features therein.
