Terms & conditions

1. Intellectual property

All original research content on this platform, including lecture notes, presentation slides, numerical algorithms (Python, Julia, MATLAB), DAS denoising workflows, and academic publications, is the intellectual property of GeoSignal Research Institute and Dr. Innocent Oboué.

• Personal & academic use: you're granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access, download, and use our open materials for individual educational, research, and non-commercial purposes.
• Prohibitions: you may not resell, redistribute, commercialize, or mirror these computational assets or course structures on third-party platforms without written authorization from GSRI.

2. Training & capacity building

Submitting a registration request ("Join a Program") expresses intent to participate in our training modules.

• Course access: enrollment in advanced modules or access to specific high-density datasets may require prerequisites and verified institutional affiliation.
• Syllabus updates: GSRI may adjust course curricula, notebooks, and schedules to reflect recent developments in machine learning and geophysical signal processing.

3. Scientific disclaimer & liability

Geophysical processing, multidimensional signal analysis, and AI-assisted subsurface imaging are inherently probabilistic and model-dependent fields.

• No operational guarantee: GSRI does not guarantee specific industrial or exploratory outcomes (such as drill-site validation or exact reservoir mapping) derived from applying our open-source scripts or training materials.
• Professional responsibility: users, independent geophysicists, and consulting partners are responsible for verifying outputs before critical field operations.

4. External links & third-party frameworks

Our codebase and technical notebooks rely on open-source ecosystems (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, SciPy, Seismic Unix, ObsPy). GSRI claims no ownership over third-party libraries and assumes no liability for updates, deprecated dependencies, or license terms set by external maintainers.

5. Governing law

These terms are governed by international academic and intellectual property conventions. Any disputes arising from the use of GSRI platforms or materials fall under the jurisdiction of the Institute's primary registration.
