Definition

The Service consists of the storage of data under BioData.pt’s FEGA Node, in Portugal.

Accounts and Pricing

In order to use The Service you must have an EGA Account that can be obtained from the ega-archive.org website. Your registration data is primarily used so you may persistently store data on The Service. The operators of The Service will not provide your registration data to any third party unless required to do so by law.

The Service depends on heavy storage capacity, therefore, its usage requires a fee that will mostly depend on the data volume of the project or submission. Upon submission evaluation by FEGA Portugal, a quota will be attributed to the user.

Your access to The Service is provided under the condition that you abide by the quota on data storage, or any other limitations placed on The Service. Attempts to subvert these limits by using multiple accounts or through any other method may result in termination of all associated accounts.

Usage

Data transfer is automatically encrypted by using the underlying HTTPS protocol. Data storage is encrypted with Crypt4GH encryption format. If there are restrictions on the way your research data can be stored and used, please consult your local institutional review board or the project principal investigator before uploading it to any public site, including The Service. Your access to the service may be revoked at any time for reasons deemed necessary by the operators of The Service. You acknowledge that you are responsible for compliance of all of your data processing activities carried out on The Service with applicable laws and regulations of Portugal, the European Union as well as any laws or regulations of other legislations or any other restrictions that might be applicable due to the provenance, intended use, legal ownership of or any licensing or other legal restrictions imposed on the data being processed.
