5. Scientific Prediction Disclaimer

ScreenGap provides computational estimates and predictions of electronic bandgap values and related outputs based on user-submitted data. These outputs are predictions only. They are not measurements, certified values, guarantees, warranties, or statements of fact. Predicting electronic bandgaps and related material properties is a complex scientific problem subject to uncertainty, model limitations, approximation error, input-data limitations, and other known and unknown factors. ScreenGap does not represent or warrant that any output is accurate, complete, reliable, reproducible, fit for a particular purpose, merchantable, non-infringing, or suitable for any scientific, engineering, manufacturing, commercial, regulatory, safety-critical, medical, or investment use. Outputs may differ materially from experimental values, published values, expected values, or real-world performance. All outputs must be independently reviewed, validated, and tested by qualified persons before being relied upon.

6. Assumption of Risk

The user assumes all responsibility and risk arising from any use of, reliance on, interpretation of, or decision made based on the Service or any output generated by the Service. No scientific, technical, engineering, commercial, regulatory, manufacturing, safety, or investment decision should be made solely on the basis of ScreenGap outputs. The user is solely responsible for determining whether any output is appropriate for the user's intended purpose.

7. No Professional, Scientific, or Regulatory Advice

The Service does not provide legal, regulatory, engineering certification, laboratory, safety, investment, or other professional advice. Use of the Service does not create any advisory, fiduciary, consulting, laboratory, certification, or professional services relationship.

Checkout Disclaimer

ScreenGap generates model-based predictions of electronic bandgap values from user-submitted composition data. These outputs are predictions only, not measurements, guarantees, certified values, or statements of fact. Predicting such properties is an inherently uncertain scientific problem, and ScreenGap makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness of any output for any purpose. Users must independently validate all results before relying on them and assume all risk arising from their use. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ScreenGap disclaims liability for any loss, damage, or claim resulting from reliance on the outputs.

Upload / Results Disclaimer

Important: ScreenGap outputs are predictive estimates only. They are not guaranteed to be accurate and may differ from experimental or published values. Do not rely on these outputs alone for scientific, engineering, regulatory, manufacturing, safety, or commercial decisions. Independent validation is required.
