MindXBridge Cohort Terms & Conditions

1. Participation
By reserving a seat, you agree to actively follow the research workflow and collaborate with your assigned cohort in a professional and timely manner.

2. Data & Ownership
Your personal information is used solely to assign you to a cohort and, where applicable, to include your name in journal submissions. All personal data you provide remains yours. Manuscripts produced during the project are copyrighted works and remain the intellectual property of MindXBridge.

3. Submission & Academic Support
MindXBridge manages manuscript submission, provides expert guidance and polishing, and ensures continuous updates throughout the research lifecycle.

4. Contribution, Inactivity & Refund Policy
Active contribution is required to maintain authorship. Participants who fail to contribute meaningfully will receive up to three formal notifications. Continued inactivity after these notices will result in removal of the participant’s name from the manuscript to preserve ethical authorship standards. In such cases, no refund will be issued.
A full refund is only applicable if MindXBridge fails to submit the manuscript within 8 weeks of project initiation.

5. Confidentiality
All project materials, discussions, and data are confidential and accessible only to authorized MindXBridge staff and assigned cohort members.

6. Responsibility & Liability
Participants are responsible for timely communication and task completion. MindXBridge is not liable for delays or outcomes affected by participant inactivity or journal editorial decisions.

7. Authorship & Intellectual Property
Authorship is contingent on active contribution in accordance with ethical research guidelines. While you retain rights over your personal data, manuscripts produced under MindXBridge programs remain the property of MindXBridge, which is authorized to manage and facilitate submissions.

8. Community Access
Participants receive lifetime access to the MindXBridge research community, including opportunities to lead future projects, propose research ideas, and receive conference preparation support.

9. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Disputes will first be addressed through mediation and, if unresolved, through Saudi courts.

10. Updates & Modifications
MindXBridge reserves the right to update workflows or policies. Participants will be notified of any material changes.
