Terms of Service & Fair Use Policy

Effective Date: March 22, 2026

Welcome to IoTSyn. By accessing and using the IoTSyn platform (the "Service"), you agree to the following terms, which are designed to protect the intellectual property of the platform while ensuring the generated datasets remain open and accessible for scientific research.

1. Intellectual Property & Platform Ownership

The IoTSyn platform, including its physics-based mathematical engine, backend source code, database structures, user interface design, and the "IoTSyn" name, logo, and brand, are the exclusive intellectual property of Dr. Amir Duhair and the IoTSyn Team.

You may not copy, clone, reverse-engineer, or host the IoTSyn generator engine on other servers.

You may not use the "IoTSyn" trademark or logo for commercial purposes without explicit written permission.

2. License for Generated Datasets (CC0 1.0 Universal)

We believe in open science and breaking down data silos. Therefore, all synthetic datasets generated and exported (e.g., CSV files) by users via the IoTSyn platform are dedicated to the public domain under the CC0 1.0 Universal License.

You are free to copy, modify, distribute, and perform work on the generated datasets, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.

Note: This open license applies only to the output data files, not to the website, code, or generation engine itself.

3. Fair Use & Server Resource Protection

To ensure the platform remains stable and accessible to all researchers globally, we enforce a Fair Use Policy regarding server computing resources:

Generation Limits

Generating datasets requires significant CPU and memory resources. The free public generator is limited to a maximum of 10,000 data points per generation.

Prohibited Activities

Automated scraping, the use of bots to bypass limits, or intentionally overwhelming the server (DDoS) is strictly prohibited and will result in an IP ban.

Need Larger Datasets?

If you require massive-scale datasets (millions of rows), please utilize our pre-generated benchmark datasets available at IoTDataset.com, or contact us for Enterprise/API access to cover computing costs.

4. Academic Citation (Moral Obligation)

While the datasets are provided under CC0 (which does not legally require attribution), academic integrity strongly encourages citation.

If you use IoTSyn to generate data for your research, publications, or machine learning models, we kindly request that you cite our official technical paper to support our ongoing work.

Auto-generated citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, BibTeX, and Harvard formats are available on every dataset page and on our citation page.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service and the generated datasets are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. The mathematical models are approximations of physical systems. The creators of IoTSyn shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages arising from the use of the platform or the generated data.
