Terms of Service

1.Services

Astroman provides customized scientific evidence analysis and communication services. Services may include biotechnology scientific literature review and analysis such as neurobiology and neuropharmacology analysis, nutritional supplement and drug-interaction analysis, evidence synthesis, regulatory research support, scientific and technical writing and editing, scientific presentations, educational materials, and related scientific consulting.

Astroman analyzes and communicates scientific information and evidence. Unless expressly stated in a Project Agreement, Astroman does not conduct laboratory experiments, clinical trials, or other original experimental research.

The specific services to be provided in each engagement will be described in the applicable Project Agreement.

2.Project Agreement

Before work begins, Astroman and the client will establish in writing the material terms of the engagement, which may include:

• project objectives and scope;
• deliverables;
• anticipated timeline;
• pricing and payment schedule;
• revision terms;
• client responsibilities; and
• any project-specific terms or limitations.

Work begins after the parties have agreed to the applicable Project Agreement and Astroman has received any required initial payment.

Changes to an approved project scope may require modification of the timeline, deliverables, or fees. Material changes to scope, deliverables, schedule, or fees will be communicated to the client and agreed in writing before the additional or modified work is performed. Such changes may be documented through a Change Order or other written amendment to the Project Agreement.

3.Payments

Fees and payment schedules are established in the applicable Project Agreement. Depending on the nature and scope of the project, payment arrangements may include full advance payment, a deposit with a remaining balance, or milestone-based payments.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers, including Stripe and PayPal. Astroman does not directly store complete credit-card or bank-account information submitted through those providers.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Project Agreement, payment obligations and refunds are governed by the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

4.Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise specified in a Project Agreement, upon receipt of full payment, the client owns the final client-specific deliverables created specifically for that engagement.

Astroman retains ownership of its pre-existing materials and intellectual property, as well as its underlying methodologies, processes, templates, frameworks, tools, techniques, know-how, general concepts, and non-client-specific materials or knowledge used or developed in performing the services.

To the extent Astroman-owned materials are incorporated into a final client deliverable, the client receives a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use those materials as reasonably necessary to use the paid-for deliverable for its intended purpose.

Nothing in an engagement transfers ownership of Astroman's name, trademarks, branding, website content, or other intellectual property except as expressly agreed in writing.

5.Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing information and materials reasonably necessary to perform the agreed services and for ensuring that they have the right to provide such information and materials to Astroman.

Clients agree to provide reasonably accurate and complete project information, respond to requests for clarification when necessary, and review deliverables within any review periods established in the Project Agreement.

Client delays may affect project schedules and delivery dates.

Clients should not submit protected health information, individually identifiable patient information, medical records, Social Security numbers, passwords, financial-account information or credentials, or other information subject to specialized legal, privacy, or security requirements unless Astroman has expressly requested the information and appropriate handling arrangements have been established in advance.

6.Confidentiality

Astroman will use reasonable care to protect confidential client information provided in connection with an engagement and will use such information for purposes reasonably related to performing and administering the engagement.

Astroman may disclose confidential client information as reasonably necessary to personnel, service providers, professional advisers, or approved collaborators supporting the engagement, provided recipients are subject to appropriate confidentiality or professional obligations, or where disclosure is required by law, legal process, or governmental authority.

Any project requiring specialized confidentiality, data-security, publication, intellectual-property, or nondisclosure terms should address those requirements in the Project Agreement or a separate written agreement.

7.Scientific, Educational, and Professional Information

Information available through this website and general materials made publicly available by Astroman are provided for scientific, educational, and informational purposes.

Astroman's services and deliverables do not constitute medical diagnosis or treatment, patient-specific clinical advice, legal advice, financial advice, or a legal opinion concerning regulatory compliance.

Clients requiring such advice should consult an appropriately licensed or qualified professional.

8.Scientific Evidence and No Guarantee of Outcomes

Scientific analysis necessarily reflects the evidence reasonably available at the time the analysis is performed. Scientific knowledge, publications, regulatory information, and interpretations may change over time.

Astroman uses professional judgment in analyzing and communicating scientific evidence but does not guarantee any particular scientific conclusion, research result, publication acceptance, regulatory action or approval, commercial result, clinical outcome, or other outcome resulting from an engagement.

Clients remain responsible for decisions and actions taken using Astroman's deliverables and for obtaining any medical, legal, regulatory, financial, or other specialized professional advice required for their particular circumstances or intended use.

9.Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Astroman will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to this website, an engagement, or services provided by Astroman, including loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, or data to the extent such losses constitute damages of a type excluded by this provision, regardless of the legal theory asserted.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Astroman's aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to a particular engagement will not exceed the total fees actually paid to Astroman for that engagement.

The limitations in this section apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for Astroman's gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

The applicable Project Agreement may establish different or additional limitations of liability where appropriate to the nature, scope, or risk of a particular engagement.

10.External Links and Third-Party Services

This website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services. Such links and services are provided for convenience or functionality and do not necessarily constitute endorsement by Astroman.

Astroman does not control and is not responsible for third-party websites, services, content, security practices, or privacy practices. Use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and policies.

11.Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, this website, or services provided by Astroman will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Unless otherwise provided in an applicable Project Agreement or required by law, any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or services provided by Astroman will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Texas, and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.

The parties are encouraged to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through direct communication before initiating formal legal proceedings.

12.Changes to These Terms

Astroman may revise these Terms periodically to reflect changes in its website, services, business practices, or applicable requirements.

Revised Terms will be posted with an updated effective or revision date. Changes to these website Terms do not retroactively modify the terms of an existing Project Agreement unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
