FoldaVirus – Terms of Use & Privacy Notice

Disclaimer

FoldaVirus generates theoretical models using AlphaFold2 and in-house developed techniques for manipulation and analysis.

The results of any theoretical modelling procedure are non-experimental and must be considered with care as models may contain significant errors. This is specially true for automated modeling since there is no human intervention during model building.

All the information in FoldaVirus is provided "AS-IS", without any warranty of any kind, expressed or implied.

The data on this website is licensed under the CC-BY-4.0 license.

You are free to:

Copy and redistribute the models in any medium or format, transform and build upon the models for any purpose, even commercially.

Under the following terms:

Attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in a way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

Citation: When you publish, patent or distribute results that were fully or partially based on models obtained from FoldaVirus, please cite the corresponding papers (see below).
