Service terms

These terms apply when Banlys, LLC (“Banlys”) processes your clock-comparison data. A cycle begins only when both parties have agreed in writing (service agreement) and the applicable fee has been paid. These terms are a summary. The signed agreement governs.

1. Eligibility and acceptance

Banlys reviews applications and accepts customers at its sole discretion. We assign opaque link identifiers for the comparisons we will process. You submit data only for those links.

2. Fees and payment

Fee is by assigned link and cycle. Academic and commercial list prices. Quoted at onboarding. Each assigned link is a separate fee. Repeat cycles on a link already onboarded are quoted separately. Payment must be received before the first cycle.

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

3. Scope

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• Links: Only the link IDs Banlys assigns. A link is one baseline comparison or one agreed GNSS clock-product series.
• Cycle: One submission per link per cycle. Historical batch is one cycle unless we agree otherwise.
• Turnaround: Results are typically delivered within five business days after a complete submission. This is a target, not a guaranteed SLA.
• Technical contact: One primary technical contact for submission and delivery.

Deliverables per cycle: corrected files in the same format you sent. Optional summary statistics if named in onboarding (figures you could compute from the before you kept and the after we return). No source code, parameters, or method disclosure. We do not return a correction-term column or a before/after pair in one response.

4. Accepted formats and submission

Accepted formats:

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

Maximum file size per file: 500 MB. Compression (.gz, .zip) is accepted. Wrong or unsafe format is rejected; that submission is not processed.

5. Data submission and warranties

By submitting datasets, 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. You will indemnify Banlys against claims arising from data you were not authorized to submit.

6. Use of corrected data

Corrected files are for your own operations and reporting. You may not use them to reverse-engineer or attempt to discover the correction method. You may not probe extra links, publish large (input, output) sets intended to recover the method, or use the service to develop a competing correction product.

Not a certified time source. Not a live timing product. Not a substitute for UTC traceability, financial-clock compliance, or a legal time stamp. We do not warrant that your panel will match published holdout percentages. Deliverables are provided as-is, without implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent permitted by law.

7. Intellectual property

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

8. Confidentiality

Both parties keep confidential all data and information exchanged for the service. Banlys will not disclose the correction method. Banlys uses your data only to produce your deliverable.

9. Data retention

We retain submitted data and corrected results only as needed to complete the cycle, or as required by law, or as you agree in writing (for example a multi-cycle batch). You may request return or destruction after the engagement.

10. 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 service. Liability is limited to the amount paid by you for the cycle in question.

11. 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 service agreement.

12. Termination

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