These Terms of Service govern access to and use of the hirezpirez Study Lab website and related materials. The site provides descriptive, scholarly material focused on the structure of negotiation interfaces. By accessing the site you agree to comply with these terms. If you do not agree with any provision, please discontinue access and, if applicable, contact the study lab to address outstanding questions. The site is provided for neutral, informational and research purposes. It is not a facilitation, mediation, or negotiation service and does not provide procedural or outcome-oriented guidance.

Permitted use and restrictions
The materials on this site are intended for neutral inspection, research, and scholarly reference. Users may view, read, and cite descriptive materials in accordance with the terms below. Reuse, republication, redistribution, or systematic extraction of content beyond reasonable quoting for scholarly purposes requires prior written permission. Where annotated model files are provided upon request, recipients must follow the study lab's handling instructions and any contractual privacy safeguards that accompany the artifact. Prohibited activities include using site materials for facilitation, mediation, outreach to third parties for the purpose of influencing outcomes, or other operational negotiation activity. Users shall not attempt to de-anonymize de-identified materials or to circumvent technical or administrative controls placed on access to protected resources. The study lab may suspend or revoke access where misuse is suspected or confirmed.
Intellectual property and licensing
Content published on this site, including textual descriptions, diagrams, annotation schemas, and sample materials produced by the study lab, is protected by intellectual property rights held by the hirezpirez Study Lab unless otherwise indicated. Certain exemplar or synthetic artifacts may be made available under a specific license that is clearly stated with the artifact; users should consult the license terms accompanying each item. When permission to use materials is granted, the license will indicate permitted uses, required attribution, and any restrictions.

Requests for broader reuse or redistribution should be sent to [email protected] for consideration and written approval.
Data handling, de-identification, and access to annotated materials
When annotated materials are derived from real interactions, the study lab applies de-identification and consent processes before making artifacts available. Access to such materials is managed through a request and review workflow that evaluates the stated analytic purpose, safeguards, and ethical compliance. Requesters may be required to sign a data use agreement that describes permitted uses, retention limits, and handling obligations. The lab provides guidance on appropriate de-identification practices and expects recipients to adhere to those practices. The study lab retains only the minimum necessary contact and administrative records to manage requests and compliance. See the Privacy Policy for details on information collection, retention, and rights relating to personal data.
Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability
The site and its content are provided on an "as is" basis for informational purposes only. The hirezpirez Study Lab does not make warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of the materials. The study lab does not provide facilitation, mediation, legal, or professional services via this site. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the study lab disclaims liability for any loss or damage arising from access to or use of the site, reliance on its content, or use of shared materials. In no event shall the study lab be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions may not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities; in such cases the applicable limitations will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The study lab may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in law, operational practice, or site features.
