By accessing or using MonographHub (“Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and any policies referenced herein (including our Privacy Policy). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be of legal age to form a binding contract and, where applicable, authorized by your employer or institution to use the Service.

3. Accounts & Access

  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities under your account.

  • Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions renew automatically for the same term at the then-current price.
  • Late or failed payments may result in suspension or termination of access.

5. Pharmacopeia Content & Third-Party Licenses

The Service may integrate or link to pharmacopeial and regulatory content published by third parties (e.g., USP–NF, BP, Ph. Eur., JP, IP, ChP, WHO). Access to full texts requires valid licenses from the respective rights holders or their authorized distributors. We do not grant such licenses and are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or completeness of third-party materials. Your use of third-party content is subject to their terms and policies.

6. Permitted Use

  • Use the Service for internal business, academic, or research purposes consistent with applicable laws and license restrictions.
  • Export or share only content you are legally authorized to use and distribute.
  • Maintain appropriate access controls for your users and devices.

  • Reverse engineering, scraping, bulk downloading, or automated extraction except as expressly permitted by us or by applicable law.
  • Infringing the intellectual property or contractual rights of pharmacopeias or other third parties.
  • Removing or altering notices, watermarks, or technical protections.
  • Uploading malicious code, probing systems for vulnerabilities, or disrupting the Service.
  • Using the Service in violation of sanctions, export controls, or other regulatory restrictions.

8. User Content

You may upload or generate content (e.g., notes, comparisons, exports). You retain all rights you hold therein. You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display such content solely to provide and improve the Service. You represent that you have necessary rights to the content you submit.

9. Intellectual Property

We and our licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including software, interfaces, designs, and trademarks. Except for the limited rights expressly granted, no rights are transferred to you.

10. Confidentiality

Non-public information provided by either party that is identified as confidential or reasonably should be treated as confidential must be protected with reasonable care and used only for the permitted purposes. This obligation does not apply to information that is public, independently developed, or rightfully received without confidentiality obligations.

11. Privacy

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect and use personal data.

12. Compliance, Export & Sanctions

You agree to comply with all applicable laws, including export control, sanctions, and anti-corruption laws. You may not use the Service in jurisdictions where such use is prohibited by law.

13. Warranties & Disclaimers

  • The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement.
  • We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that content will be accurate or complete.
  • Recommendations, comparisons, or summaries are informational and do not constitute regulatory or legal advice.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenue, data, or use. Our aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service shall not exceed the amounts paid by you to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use of the Service in violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

  • We may suspend or restrict access to protect the Service, comply with law, or address security or abuse concerns.
  • Either party may terminate for material breach if not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice.
  • Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. Certain sections (e.g., IP, confidentiality, limitations, indemnity) survive termination.

17. Service Changes

We may modify features, introduce new capabilities, or discontinue parts of the Service. Where required, we will provide reasonable notice.

18. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Arab Republic of Egypt, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Courts located in Cairo, Egypt shall have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction and venue. If your organization requires a different governing law/venue in a signed agreement, that agreement controls.

19. Dispute Resolution (Optional Mediation)

Before filing suit, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve disputes through negotiation, and, if mutually agreed, mediation. This clause does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief.

20. Notices

Official notices to us must be sent to terms@monographhub.com. We may send notices to the email associated with your account or your administrative contact.

21. Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent, except to an affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all assets, provided the assignee agrees to these Terms. We may assign these Terms subject to the same conditions.

22. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay due to events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, labor disputes, government actions, utility failures, and internet or hosting outages.

23. Entire Agreement; Severability; Waiver

These Terms, together with any order forms or enterprise agreements, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service and supersede prior understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

24. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide notice by posting the updated Terms and updating the effective date. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.
