Certain restricted features may require a permission or authorization code issued by PROVIDER.

Ownership and Scope of Materials
PROVIDER retains ownership of the MATERIALS and all associated technology.
The MATERIALS are made available to RECIPIENT, upon purchase, delivery, or other access as made available by PROVIDER, for limited research use only by RECIPIENT, in RECIPIENT’s laboratory and research sites or by research subjects. MATERIALS include sample units that may be provided at no cost and are subject to the same Terms.
For clarity, the term ‘MATERIALS’ is defined above.

A. USE OF MATERIALS
Use of the MATERIALS for academic research purposes is subject to these Terms without prior notice to or approval by PROVIDER.
RECIPIENT agrees:
1. To use MATERIALS for the sole purpose of academic research or professional field evaluation use (as permitted under these Terms), and NOT for any other development, or other commercial or non-commercial purposes; specifically, RECIPIENT will use the MATERIALS for academic research or informational use only, for assessing milk maturation and breastfeeding status with the MyLee system, used in-lab or at study sites or remotely, by research assistants or study subjects, of milk samples (or any other body fluids), for specific research studies conducted under the responsibility of RECIPIENT and in compliance with these Terms.
2. That the MATERIALS will be used only in RECIPIENT’S facilities or research sites and only by RECIPIENT and personnel or study subjects under RECIPIENT’S control and oversight.
3. That MATERIALS shall not be reverse engineered or otherwise adapted for uses not specified in these terms. MATERIALS shall not be disassembled, reverse engineered, reverse compiled, or otherwise analysed to determine composition or structure or source code and/or otherwise adapted for uses not specified in its intended use. The hardware, firmware and software provided as MATERIALS will not be connected directly or wirelessly to any other software or hardware other than through the designated MyLee App available in Google Play or App Store, or as software specifically provided by the PROVIDER to the RECIPIENT.
4. The MATERIALS provided under these terms are intended for research use only and are not designed for and are not permitted to be used in connection with prevention, diagnosis or treatment of a medical condition.
5. Professional care provider use is not for care decision making. To the extent the MATERIALS are used by any care providers (including midwives, lactation consultants, or staff operating within clinics or center) such use is permitted only for operational support, monitoring, documentation, and/or research-related activities, and shall not be used as a medical device or to guide, direct, replace, or determine clinical care, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical decision-making for any mother or infant. Any care decisions remain solely the responsibility of the licensed professional and/or the applicable healthcare provider team, and must be based on professional judgment and applicable clinical standards, and not on the MATERIALS.
6. Regulatory Status; Local Compliance; Labelling. RECIPIENT acknowledges that the MATERIALS are provided for research use only and that regulatory requirements may vary between jurisdictions. While PROVIDER may maintain certain product compliance markings or certifications, RECIPIENT acknowledges that such markings do not constitute regulatory authorization, clearance, or approval in every country, state, or jurisdiction, and do not authorize clinical or medical use.
RECIPIENT is solely responsible for ensuring that importation, distribution, possession, labelling, and use of the MATERIALS comply with all applicable local laws, regulations, institutional requirements, and ethics/IRB requirements, including any requirements to apply or maintain specific labels or restrictions (such as “Research Use Only” or other locally required notices). Where local law requires additional labelling, warnings, restrictions, registrations, approvals, or notifications, RECIPIENT shall be responsible for obtaining and implementing them prior to use.
7. RECIPIENT is responsible for the handling, storage, and proper use of MATERIALS, in compliance with all applicable guidelines and regulations. Failure to comply with the instructions of use of the MATERIALS may affect the results validity. MATERIALS use is of the sole responsibility of the RECIPIENT.
8. In case a research participant uses the system device and application for self-tracking, such use of system features shall be either voluntary or as instructed by RECIPIENT, and in any case shall be at the sole responsibility of RECIPIENT and as detailed in the applicable IRB/ethics approval and participant documents. Research participants (and other users registering under RECIPIENT’s activities) accept the applicable terms including company’s terms of use and data privacy policy at application account registration, and RECIPIENT remains responsible for ensuring that the study design, instructions, and consent/authorization adequately cover such use.
9. Ethics / IRB approvals and disclosures. RECIPIENT represents and warrants that it will obtain all required ethics committee / IRB approvals (and any other required approvals) prior to use of the MATERIALS in human-subject research and will conduct the research in accordance with such approvals and applicable law.

B. Transfer of Materials; Use and Sharing of Research Data
RECIPIENT is strictly prohibited from transferring, lending, sublicensing, or otherwise making the MATERIALS available to any third party outside of RECIPIENT’s institutional control without the express prior written consent of PROVIDER. RECIPIENT has no right to grant any license or authorization to use the MATERIALS, or to use PROVIDER’s intellectual property embodied in the MATERIALS, to any third party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, RECIPIENT may share, publish, or otherwise disclose research data, analyses, and results generated by RECIPIENT through use of the MATERIALS with academic collaborators, sponsors, or other third parties in the ordinary course of academic research, provided that such sharing (i) does not transfer MATERIALS themselves (ii) does not grant any rights in or to PROVIDER’s intellectual property, algorithms, software, reference values, or system design, and (iii) complies with applicable laws, ethics approvals, and data protection obligations.

C. DATA CONTROL AND PARTICIPANT COMMUNICATION
By using the MATERIALS, RECIPIENT knowingly elects to disclose to PROVIDER data recorded in the system by researchers or research participants. All information provided to the system will be stored in PROVIDER’s databases and processed in accordance with PROVIDER’s privacy policy and applicable data protection laws and regulations.
RECIPIENT gives its explicit consent to PROVIDER to make use of aggregated and non-identifiable information collected through the system for improvement of the tool and for research and development purposes.
As part of product personalisation and operation, PROVIDER may contact research participants directly for purposes related to the operation, use, safety, technical support, feature explanation, user experience, or feedback regarding the MyLee system or application, in compliance with applicable privacy laws and participant notices.
The parties agree to take all required steps to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing data protection, privacy, and data sharing.

Researcher Responsibility for Data Handling, Ethics Approval, and Participant Consent
PROVIDER does not control, review, or approve RECIPIENT’s research protocols, ethics submissions, or consent documentation.
Additional researcher data-entry rules and disclosures:
1. Where required, RECIPIENT may avoid entering directly identifying data (for example, full names, telephone number), and may use alternative identification keys.
2. Date and time of birth are required for proper system usage. The recording and storage of such information depend on the application mode, as follows:
o Authorized multi-mother researcher mode. In the authorized multi-mother researcher version, date and time of birth are recorded only locally within the application environment under RECIPIENT’s control (for example, on a researcher-controlled device) and are not transferred to or stored in PROVIDER’s administrative systems. RECIPIENT acknowledges that such locally recorded information cannot be restored after logout and will not appear in administrative exports, if applicable.
o Participant self-tracking mode. In cases where study subjects use the MyLee system directly, account registration requires entry of identifiable data such as date and time of birth, and such information will be recorded in PROVIDER’s administrative systems as part of account data. RECIPIENT acknowledges that this collection, storage, and sharing of such data must be specified for study participant’s consent.

D. DATA RELIABILITY; REPORTS; RECIPIENT RECORD KEEPING DUTY
RECIPIENT may request, and PROVIDER may provide (as a paid service or otherwise as made available by PROVIDER), data reports from the PROVIDER’s admin. These may include participant recorded data, system technical recorded data, and/or additional computations, and shall be confirmed by PROVIDER in writing (including email) prior to delivery.
RECIPIENT acknowledges that although data may be recorded in a user account, PROVIDER does not warrant that data will be stored, restored, exported, or available without interruption, and technical issues or bugs may prevent restoration. Therefore, RECIPIENT is obligated to manually record and maintain research results needed for its own usability outside the company dataset. PROVIDER shall not be responsible for damage, loss, or inability to restore or export data, whether participant-entered or researcher-entered, and RECIPIENT assumes responsibility for ensuring independent study records.
For research where the system is used by study participants, RECIPIENT is responsible for obtaining the data from the participant directly. Data may be shared as a report via the application. The user can add the relevant contact, or the contact details can be linked via the admin by PROVIDER. It is RECIPIENT’s responsibility to provide correct contact details, to monitor participant reporting, and to follow-up participant reports. PROVIDER may export aggregated data periodically (paid or not), but is not responsible if some data is not stored or restored.

E. WARRANTIES
RECIPIENT acknowledges that MATERIALS are provided on an AS IS basis for research use. Products continuously undergo improvement and development, and are subject to changes, including settings and reference values. PROVIDER has verified the MATERIALS for the intended use as specified in the spec sheet provided with the MATERIALS including specificity, accuracy, repeatability and stability; however, RECIPIENT accepts MATERIALS as is and entirely at its own risk and without reliance on statements by PROVIDER as to utility, applicability, efficacy, specificity, accuracy, repeatability, stability, characterization, safety, or freedom from claims by other property rights. All warranties, express or implied, are disclaimed.

F. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PROVIDER shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of data, loss of research results, loss of profits, or interruption of research activities, arising out of or related to the use of the MATERIALS or the MyLee system, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not PROVIDER has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall PROVIDER’s total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the MATERIALS exceed the amounts, if any, paid by RECIPIENT to PROVIDER for access to the MATERIALS during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

G. INDEMNIFICATION
To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, RECIPIENT agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PROVIDER, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (i) RECIPIENT’s use of the MATERIALS or the MyLee system, (ii) RECIPIENT’s research activities, study design, or interactions with research participants, or (iii) RECIPIENT’s breach of these Terms, except to the extent such claim arises directly from PROVIDER’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

H. USE OF NAME; PUBLIC REFERENCE
1. Academic Acknowledgement; Use of Core Milk Maturation Result
Academic acknowledgement by RECIPIENT.
RECIPIENT will acknowledge the use of the MATERIALS and the name of the system (MyLee) and PROVIDER’s organization (MyMilk Laboratories LTD) in connection with any educational, academic, or research activity when presenting, publishing, or otherwise using information generated by or in support of the MATERIALS, and in a manner authorized by PROVIDER.
Protected milk maturation core result.
RECIPIENT acknowledges that the milk maturation percent core result generated by the MyLee system constitutes a protected, proprietary, and patented parameter of PROVIDER and represents the system’s designated output for assessment of milk maturation dynamics.
The MyLee system and administrative reports may also provide access to additional data representations, raw measurements, or derived calculations (including, by way of example, sodium equivalents, milk conductivity or other intermediate values). RECIPIENT’s agrees that the milk maturation core result shall be used and referenced as a primary indicator provided by the system, and alternative parameters shall not be presented as replacing, redefining, or independently determining milk maturation status.

2. Subject to RECIPIENT’s reasonable branding or institutional requirements, RECIPIENT grants PROVIDER permission to use RECIPIENT’s name and the name of RECIPIENT’s institute/organization in public media (including PROVIDER’s website, presentations, press, and marketing materials) solely as a factual statement that RECIPIENT is an academic/research user of the MyLee system for general research purposes, without describing study outcomes, participant details, or study specifics, unless separately agreed by the parties.

I. PUBLICATION FREEDOM
These terms shall not be interpreted to prevent or delay RECIPIENT’s publication of research findings resulting from the use of the data collected through the MATERIALS. The RECIPIENT agrees to provide appropriate acknowledgement of the source of the MATERIALS in all publications (MyLee system by MyMilk Laboratories).

J. RIGHTS TO MATERIAL (INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY)
The furnishing of MATERIALS shall not constitute any grant or license under any legal rights now or later held by PROVIDER other than as stated in these terms. PROVIDER retains all title and interest in and to the MATERIALS and related documentation, including all intellectual property rights. Property rights including without limitation copyrights, inventions, methods, technology, software, sensors, reference values, reports, datasets, materials, algorithms, formulas, logic, patents, trade secrets, test measures, processes, system adjustments, or new feature developments belong to PROVIDER and are its sole property, including adaptations derived from use of MATERIALS by RECIPIENT.
RECIPIENT shall not reverse engineer the MATERIALS to circumvent PROVIDER’s rights or licensing.

K. ELIGIBILITY; AUTHORIZED FEATURES; MULTI-MOM MODE
These Terms apply to any individual or institution that uses the MyLee system as part of academic, institutional, or professional field activities, including (as applicable) researchers, and care providers (such as midwives, lactation consultants, and staff operating within centers, or similar care settings), whether or not such user has notified PROVIDER in advance.
Certain features, configurations, reporting capabilities, and application modes (including multi-user / multi-mother functionality) are available only to authorized accounts and may require use of a permission or authorization code issued by PROVIDER for account registration or feature access.
Permission codes are made available to eligible partners through a simple request process. To request a permission code, RECIPIENT may contact PROVIDER by email and provide a brief description of the intended use and RECIPIENT’s affiliation (for example, university, hospital, clinic, center, or research group). PROVIDER typically responds within a reasonable time. Upon confirmation, PROVIDER will provide the applicable permission code and related onboarding information.
The permission-only version is limited and focused on milk sensing features for multiple samples and may lack features present in the single tracking version intended for direct use by the mother. A single device may be linked to one version at a time; switching accounts/modes may require contacting PROVIDER.
For clarity, access to multi-mom features does not change the research-use-only nature of the MATERIALS and does not authorize any medical or clinical use.
