The following terms and conditions apply for using the LSDF resources.

  • The resources are currently provided on a free of charge basis, although some (very reasonable) charges may apply in the future.
  • The support for LSDF services is provided on a best effort basis, no round-the-clock service can be guaranteed.
  • LSDF resources are expected to be used for scientific data ONLY. You are not allowed to store any kind of general purpose data nor desktop-backup files.
  • You are expected to not misuse your access credentials: access is given to a single person and you are not allowed to publish your credentials in any way, or to disseminate your credentials to other persons. Such persons need to apply for LSDF-access directly.
  • You are expected to abide by the usage rules resp. best practices recommendations of the different resources. See

[[Services_Usage]] for more details.


What to expect from the LSDF team:

  • A best effort will be invested to try to keep the services (and in particular, the storage) running round-the-clock, but no 24/7 availability can be guaranteed, as stated above.
  • An offline daily backup of all your data, which can be used in case of data loss in the online systems (but no direct user access).
