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 responsible for the data that you store into LSDF. This means, you are expected to keep track of the stored contents, to delete obsolete or unnecessary data, as well as informing LSDF what should happen with your data in case you leave KIT/LSDF.
  • 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, although no availability guarantee can be provided, 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).
