Scope and Roles

BCILattice is a local-first desktop research application. Signal processing, preprocessing, model training, and report generation run on the user's hardware unless a separate enterprise deployment says otherwise.

BCINexus cloud services are optional and cover account management, billing, team storage, study sharing, community publishing, review workflows, and support. For institution-managed workspaces, BCINexus may act as a processor for uploaded study data under a signed DPA.


Terms Summary

The Terms of Service govern access to BCILattice, bcinexus.xyz, the BCINexus community, and related cloud services. Users must keep account information accurate, protect credentials, follow plan limits, and use separate accounts for team members.

  • Self-serve subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before renewal.
  • Enterprise terms are controlled by signed order forms or master agreements.
  • Users retain ownership of their datasets, models, reports, studies, and session files.
  • Published community content must be lawful, properly authorized, and scientifically supportable.
  • BCILattice is research software and is not a medical device or clinical decision product.

BCINexus collects account, billing status, support, workspace, active analytics, browser-storage, and operational telemetry data needed to operate and improve the platform.

Acceptable Use

Users may not use BCILattice or BCINexus to:

  • Process human-subject data without required consent, ethics approval, IRB approval, or equivalent authorization.
  • Upload malware, unlawful content, or content that infringes third-party rights.
  • Publish misleading, plagiarized, unsafe, or unsupported research claims.
  • Share account credentials, evade plan limits, or resell access without written permission.
  • Use the platform in violation of sanctions, export controls, privacy law, or clinical research rules.
  • Interfere with BCINexus infrastructure or attempt unauthorized access.

Desktop EULA Summary

The desktop license allows installation and use of BCILattice according to the active plan or signed agreement. Users may not redistribute, sublicense, remove notices, or use the software to build a competing service unless a written agreement permits it.

Research outputs, trained models, reports, exported files, and session data created by users remain the property of the user or their institution.


DPA and BAA

A Data Processing Agreement can be reviewed for Enterprise customers that need processor terms for personal data handled through BCINexus cloud features. The DPA review may cover subprocessor terms, security controls, deletion/return commitments, and Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.

A Business Associate Agreement requires legal review before any BCINexus cloud service is used with protected health information. Local-only BCILattice processing generally remains under the customer's own governance.
