Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

Welcome to the website of Ribosome Research Centre (“we,” “our,” or “us”), accessible at https://www.ribosomeresearch.com.

These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of our website. By accessing or using the website, you agree to comply with these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please discontinue use of the website.

These Terms apply to the website and its general informational content. Specific research services, commercial engagements and client projects may be governed by separate proposals, quotations, contracts, confidentiality agreements, study protocols or other written arrangements.

2. About Our Services

Ribosome Research Centre operates in the preclinical contract research and life sciences research sector.

Our website may provide general information about our organisation, research capabilities, services, facilities, quality systems, career opportunities and contact information.

Information displayed on the website is intended to help visitors understand our organisation and services. The exact scope, availability, specifications, timelines and commercial terms of any research service will be determined through the applicable written proposal or agreement.

Submitting an inquiry through our website does not, by itself, create a client relationship, establish a research engagement or oblige us to provide any particular service.

3. Website Information and Scientific Disclaimer

We make reasonable efforts to present website information accurately and clearly. However, information may change, become outdated or contain inadvertent errors.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement:

• Website content is provided for general informational purposes.
• Scientific descriptions, research-related explanations and service summaries are not a substitute for project-specific technical evaluation or professional advice.
• The publication of a service or capability does not guarantee its availability for every project.
• Any illustrations, photographs, examples or descriptions may not represent every aspect of our facilities, methods or services.

Visitors should contact us to verify information relevant to a particular requirement before making a business or technical decision.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the website only for lawful and legitimate purposes.

You must not:

• Use the website in violation of applicable laws or regulations.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its hosting environment, systems or related accounts.
• Introduce malicious code, viruses or other harmful material.
• Interfere with website operations, security or availability.
• Use automated tools to extract or collect website information in a manner that violates applicable law or the rights of others.
• Submit false, misleading, fraudulent or unlawful information through website forms.
• Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, confidentiality or other rights of Ribosome Research Centre or any third party.

We may take reasonable steps to restrict or investigate activity that we believe threatens the security or proper functioning of the website, subject to applicable law.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise indicated, website materials—including text, graphics, logos, photographs, designs, page layouts and other content—are owned by or used with permission by Ribosome Research Centre or the relevant rights holders.

These materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may access and view website content for personal, informational and legitimate business purposes.

Without prior written permission from the relevant rights holder, you must not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, commercially exploit or create derivative works from protected website materials, except where permitted by applicable law.

The Ribosome Research Centre name, logo and branding may not be used in a way that implies endorsement, affiliation or authorisation without permission.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any intellectual property to a website visitor.

6. Research Services and Client Agreements

Information about our preclinical CRO and life sciences research services on this website does not constitute a binding offer to undertake a specific project.

Before commencing a research engagement, the parties may need to agree in writing on matters such as:

• Scope of work and study objectives.
• Applicable methods, specifications and deliverables.
• Timelines, fees and payment terms.
• Responsibilities of the client and service provider.
• Confidentiality and protection of proprietary information.
• Ownership and permitted use of data, reports, materials and results.
• Applicable quality, regulatory and compliance requirements.
• Liability, termination and dispute resolution.

Where a separate written agreement applies to a project, its terms will govern that project to the extent of any inconsistency with these website Terms.

Nothing in these Terms overrides a mandatory legal or regulatory requirement.

7. Confidentiality and Submission of Information

Visitors should not submit trade secrets, confidential study materials, unpublished research results, proprietary protocols or other sensitive business information through general website forms unless an appropriate process has been expressly authorised.

Information submitted through a general inquiry form should not be assumed to be subject to a project-specific confidentiality agreement merely because it has been received by us.

If confidential information needs to be exchanged for a proposed research engagement, the parties should establish an appropriate communication channel and, where necessary, execute a separate non-disclosure agreement or other written arrangement before sharing it.

Personal information submitted through the website will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

8. Contact and Career Applications

Our website may allow visitors to submit general inquiries, request information about research services or express interest in employment opportunities.

Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee a response within a particular timeframe or an offer of services.

Submitting a job application does not guarantee an interview, selection, employment or any other recruitment outcome. Recruitment decisions remain subject to the applicable selection process and requirements.

Applicants should provide accurate information and avoid including unnecessary confidential information or sensitive personal data in their applications.

9. Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites or resources for convenience.

These links do not necessarily imply endorsement of the linked websites, their operators, products or services.

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, accuracy, security or privacy practices. Accessing third-party websites is at your discretion and subject to their own terms and policies.

10. Website Availability and Changes

We may update, modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the website or its content when reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, operational or business reasons, subject to applicable law.

We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free or compatible with every device or browser.

We may correct errors, update service descriptions or revise website content without prior notice, where permitted by law.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its general content are provided on an “as available” basis.

We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, completely secure, error-free or free from harmful components, or that all content will always be complete or current.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty, right or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ribosome Research Centre shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising solely from the use of, or inability to use, the website or reliance on its general informational content.

This provision does not exclude or restrict liability where such exclusion or restriction is prohibited by law, including any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Liability arising from a separately agreed research project, commercial engagement or written contract will be determined under that agreement and applicable law.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you may be responsible for losses, claims or reasonable costs arising directly from your unlawful use of the website, your infringement of third-party rights or your material breach of these Terms.

This provision does not impose liability beyond what is permitted by applicable law and does not apply to the extent that a loss results from our own acts or omissions for which we are legally responsible.

14. Privacy

Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information submitted through the website is handled.

Please read the Privacy Policy together with these Terms.

If a particular activity requires separate consent or additional notices under applicable law, the relevant requirements will apply independently of these Terms.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of India.

Subject to applicable law and the jurisdiction of competent courts, courts having appropriate territorial and subject-matter jurisdiction in Surat, Gujarat, India, shall have jurisdiction over disputes arising from the use of this website.

This clause does not prevent a party from approaching any other forum or authority where required or permitted by applicable law.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our website, business operations or legal obligations.

Revised Terms will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain any necessary consent.

Continued use of the website after revised Terms become applicable will be subject to the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable by a competent authority, the remaining provisions shall continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

18. Entire Agreement and Separate Contracts

These Terms govern general use of the website and do not replace any separate written agreement governing a research project, client engagement, employment relationship or other specific arrangement.

Where a separate agreement expressly governs a matter, that agreement shall apply to the extent of any inconsistency, subject to applicable law.
