The research and evaluation for the World Initiative for Science Evaluation ("ZooWise") are delivered by the Institute for Methods Innovation ("Project Facilitator") and supported by technology and services provided by Qualia Analytics ("Technology Provider "), which together refer to ‘Delivery Partners’ and any products ('Products') and services ('Services') provided. This Terms of Use ('TOU') aims to communicate the provision of Services to you and describe how the Services may be accessed and used.

Additional Terms may be a part of your agreement with Project Facilitator and the ZooWise initiative if specified in writing via our original proposal, or as agreed upon in any other written communication. The combination of this Terms of Use ("TOU") and any applicable Additional Terms are collectively refered to with these 'Terms'.

Section 15 of these Terms is applicable to you if you operate as a “data controller” within the EU.
