90-day pilot terms & conditions

These terms apply to the Tare Program 90-day pilot. Participation is invite only (by application). We may have up to ten concurrent participants; availability and your schedule are described in your pilot agreement. Participation is subject to application review and a signed pilot agreement.

1. Eligibility and acceptance

Banlys, LLC (“Banlys”) reviews all pilot applications and accepts participants at its sole discretion. A pilot begins only when both parties have agreed in writing (pilot agreement) and the pilot fee has been paid as specified.

2. Cohort, capacity, and fees

Each pilot engagement runs 90 days unless otherwise stated in your pilot agreement. Pilot fees: $45,000 USD (academic / government / non-profit research) or $195,000 USD (commercial) for the 90-day period. Payment must be received before pilot commencement.

Withdrawal and refunds: If you withdraw before the pilot start date, we may refund the fee minus a reasonable administration cost as specified in the pilot agreement. Once the pilot has started, fees are non-refundable.

3. Priority access to licensing

Pilot participants will receive priority access to licensing discussions if the technology proceeds to commercial deployment.

4. Pilot scope

To keep the pilot manageable and fair, the following limits apply per participant unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• Datasets: Up to three datasets. A dataset is one baseline comparison or one GNSS clock-product series submitted for evaluation.
• Time span per dataset: Up to 90 days of data per dataset.
• Processing runs: Each dataset may be processed up to three times during the pilot.
• Turnaround: Results are typically delivered within five business days after dataset submission. This is a target, not a guaranteed SLA.
• Technical contact: Each participant designates one primary technical contact for submission and delivery.

Deliverables per run: corrected residual series (or equivalent), RMS comparison report, and summary metrics as agreed. No source code, parameters, or method disclosure.

5. Accepted formats and submission

Participants must submit data in accepted formats only. Accepted formats:

• IGS clock files (.clk, .clk.gz)
• CGGTTS time-transfer files (.cggtts, .cggtts.gz)
• Structured CSV (structure specified in pilot onboarding)

Maximum file size per file: 500 MB. Compression (.gz, .zip) is accepted.

6. Data submission and warranties

By submitting datasets for the pilot, you warrant that you are authorized to provide the data, that it is non-classified and export-compliant, and that no third-party IP restrictions prevent its processing.

7. Use of corrected data

Corrected datasets and statistical comparisons provided by Banlys are for your evaluation only. You may not use them to reverse-engineer or attempt to discover the correction method.

8. Intellectual property

The correction method is proprietary to Banlys. No license is granted. Ownership of your submitted data remains with you.

9. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential all data and information exchanged in connection with the pilot. Banlys will not disclose the correction method.

10. Data retention

We retain submitted data and corrected results for 12 months after the pilot ends, or as required by law.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Banlys shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the pilot. Liability is limited to the amount paid by you for the pilot.

12. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Texas, USA, to the extent not superseded by the signed pilot agreement.

13. Termination

Banlys may suspend or terminate the pilot if you breach these terms or the pilot agreement.
