Welcome to Life Science Talent. These Terms & Conditions explain how you may use our website and what you can expect when exploring courses and educational opportunities through the platform.
Life Science Talent is an online platform for discovering educational courses and opportunities in the life sciences. The website is operated by Academisch Ziekenhuis Leiden, operating under the name Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC), Albinusdreef 2, 2333 ZA Leiden, the Netherlands.
You can contact the platform at info@lifesciencetalent.eu. References to “we”, “us” or “our” in these Terms mean LUMC in its capacity as operator of Life Science Talent.
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Life Science Talent website, including browsing course listings, following links to external providers, contacting us, subscribing to updates and suggesting courses for inclusion.
By using the website, you are expected to comply with these Terms. If you submit information or use an interactive feature, any additional conditions clearly presented for that feature may also apply. These Terms do not replace mandatory rights you have under applicable law.
Life Science Talent is a discovery and information platform. It brings together information about learning opportunities offered by universities, educational institutions and other external organisations.
Unless we explicitly state otherwise for a particular offering, Life Science Talent does not organise, deliver, sell, certify or administer the courses listed on this website. Publishing a course does not imply endorsement, accreditation or a guarantee by LUMC.
We aim to provide useful, accurate and current information, but course details may be supplied by external providers or contributors and may change without notice. This includes course content, eligibility criteria, fees, schedules, locations, capacity, certificates and registration requirements.
Before making a decision or registering, check the relevant details directly with the course provider. We may correct, update or remove course listings at our discretion, subject to applicable law.
When you select a course and follow a link to an external website, any registration, payment, cancellation, refund, attendance or certification arrangements are made with the relevant course provider, not with Life Science Talent or LUMC, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
The external provider’s own terms and privacy notice may apply. Any questions or complaints about a course, including payments, delivery and certificates, should normally be directed to that provider. This does not affect any legal responsibility that LUMC may have where it is itself the provider or contracting party.
You may be able to suggest courses or submit related information for review. You are responsible for ensuring that information you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge, relevant, lawful and does not infringe another person’s rights.
You must have the necessary permission to provide any text, images, logos or other materials you submit. Do not upload confidential material, personal data about others without an appropriate basis, misleading descriptions or material that violates intellectual property rights.
We may review, edit for clarity, request corrections, decline, update or remove submissions where appropriate. We are not obliged to publish every suggestion or retain every listing. Where content is removed or restricted, we will comply with any applicable legal notice and complaint requirements.
You retain any intellectual property rights you hold in materials you submit. By providing content for potential publication, you grant LUMC a nonexclusive, royalty free licence to review, reproduce, format, edit for presentation, display and distribute that content through Life Science Talent, solely for operating and promoting the relevant listing and platform.
You confirm that you are entitled to grant this permission. You may request a review or removal of your submitted content by contacting us, although we may need to retain certain records where required or permitted by law. This permission does not transfer ownership of your content to LUMC.
You may use Life Science Talent for lawful educational and informational purposes. You must not attempt to disrupt the website, bypass security measures, submit malicious code, impersonate another person, collect personal data without permission, publish unlawful content or use the platform to mislead other users.
Automated extraction or reuse of substantial parts of our database is not permitted where it infringes applicable database rights or otherwise violates the law. Reasonable use of publicly available information for personal study, research or lawful referencing is not prohibited by these Terms.
The design, branding, layout, original text and other materials created for Life Science Talent may be protected by copyright, trademark or database rights belonging to LUMC or relevant rights holders.
You may view and use website materials for your personal, educational or other uses permitted by law. Reproduction, redistribution or commercial exploitation beyond those permissions requires consent from the relevant rights holder. Course providers retain the rights to their own names, logos and course materials.
The website contains links to independent third party websites. We do not control their content, availability, accessibility, security or data protection practices. A link does not in itself establish a partnership or constitute a recommendation.
We encourage you to review the relevant provider’s terms, policies and course information before interacting with an external service.
If you subscribe to the Life Science Talent waitlist or email updates, we may send you communications consistent with the purpose described when you subscribed. You can unsubscribe from optional email updates at any time.
Information about how we handle your personal data, including communications, analytics and cookies, is available in our Privacy Policy.
We work to keep the platform accessible and useful, but uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed. The website, its features and its content may be changed, suspended or discontinued for technical, security, operational or editorial reasons.
We may also update these Terms when necessary. The current version will be published on this page with an updated date. Where the law requires specific notice or consent, we will comply with those requirements.
We take reasonable care in operating Life Science Talent. However, information about external courses is provided for general guidance, and we cannot guarantee that every listing is complete, error free or continuously up to date.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, LUMC is not responsible for the acts or omissions of independent course providers or for losses arising solely from arrangements you make directly with them. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits your statutory rights.
These Terms are governed by Dutch law, without prejudice to any mandatory protections that apply to you under the law of your country of residence.
If you have a concern about the platform or these Terms, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. Any dispute will be handled by a court with jurisdiction under applicable law. These Terms do not require consumers to give up a court or remedy available to them by law.
