Last updated: June 15, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to OOPLOT (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” or “the Platform”). These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and OOPLOT. By accessing or using our website, mobile applications, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and the modified Terms will become effective upon posting on this page; material changes will be notified through website announcements or email. Your continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

2. Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. If a modification materially adversely affects your rights, we will notify you in advance within a reasonable period. Your continued use of the Services after the modification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the modification, please stop using the Services and delete your account.

3. Description of Services

OOPLOT is an AI-assisted scientific data visualization platform providing, without limitation: online browsing and search of scientific chart templates; a template editor (parameter adjustment, code editing, data upload, chart preview, and export); a template builder (AI one-click extraction from images/PDFs, automatic code correction); AI-assisted code improvement; chart export (PNG/SVG/PDF/HTML); membership subscription services; and other features we may add from time to time. AI-generated results are for reference only. OOPLOT does not guarantee their academic accuracy, journal acceptance, or compliance with any specific research standards. You are responsible for the chart content ultimately submitted to academic journals, publications, or third parties.

4. Eligibility

You must have reached the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction (usually 18 years old) or have obtained guardian consent to use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. You may not use the Services for any illegal, fraudulent, infringing, harassing, discriminatory, or network security-damaging activities. Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13.

5. Account Registration and Security

Certain features require registration of an account. You agree to provide true, accurate, and complete information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and login credentials, and for all activities that occur under your account. If you discover unauthorized use or a security vulnerability, please notify us immediately. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts based on reasonable grounds, including but not limited to violations of these Terms, fraud, or prolonged inactivity.

6. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to, and not to assist others to:

  • Use crawlers, bots, scripts, or other automated tools to bulk download, copy, or scrape template code, data, or content (except normal member copying within a reasonable daily limit);
  • Automatically register large numbers of accounts, conduct brute-force attacks, password spraying, DDoS attacks, or otherwise interfere with the normal operation of the Services;
  • Send requests to API endpoints at an unreasonable frequency, or bypass our access controls, rate limits, paywalls, or regional restrictions;
  • Upload, generate, or disseminate any illegal, infringing, false, fraudulent, hateful, discriminatory, obscene, violent, malicious software, or rights-violating content;
  • Use AI services to generate content that violates academic ethics, plagiarizes, fabricates data, or is used for cheating;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to obtain the source code or underlying algorithms of the Services, except as expressly permitted by applicable law;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity, performance, or security of the Services, or infringe the rights of other users.

Violations of the above may result in warnings, temporary restrictions, permanent account bans, and potential civil or criminal liability.

7. User Content and Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of the content you upload, create, or generate (including code, data, charts, templates, images, PDFs, etc.). To enable us to provide, display, promote, and improve the Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, worldwide license to store, process, display, reproduce, modify, and distribute your user content. You represent and warrant that you have the necessary rights, licenses, and consents to upload and use such content and that it does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights. The OOPLOT platform itself, interface designs, brand identifiers, software code, documentation, and all content other than user content are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. If a template is expressly marked with an open-source license (such as MIT), please follow the terms of that license. For AI-generated content, intellectual property ownership depends on the law of your jurisdiction; we recommend that you evaluate this yourself and consult a professional advisor if necessary.

8. AI Services and Outputs

We integrate multiple third-party AI service providers (such as OpenAI, Kimi, DeepSeek, Anthropic, etc.) to provide code generation, improvement, and template extraction functions. You understand and agree that:

  • AI outputs are generated by probabilistic models and may contain errors, be incomplete, inaccurate, or not meet your expectations;
  • AI outputs are for reference only and do not constitute professional advice. OOPLOT makes no warranties regarding their academic accuracy, journal acceptance, or suitability;
  • You should review, verify, and assume full responsibility for the use of AI outputs;
  • We may review, record, and analyze your inputs and outputs to improve the Services, prevent abuse, and enforce these Terms;
  • AI services are subject to availability, quotas, rate limits, and technical failures, and we are not responsible for interruptions of third-party services.

9. Payment and Subscriptions

We offer different membership levels (such as regular member, VIP, SVIP, etc.), each with different AI token quotas and feature permissions. All prices are as displayed on the page and may be adjusted due to promotions, regions, or time. We support payment methods such as Stripe, PayPal, Alipay, and WeChat Pay. Subscriptions may auto-renew, and you may cancel in account settings before the end of the current billing period; benefits continue until the end of the period. You agree to pay all applicable taxes. If payment fails, we may suspend or limit your subscription benefits.

10. Refund Policy

Refund rules are as follows:

  • Monthly subscriptions: no-questions-asked refund within 7 days of purchase (first subscription only).
  • Annual subscriptions: no-questions-asked refund within 14 days of purchase (first subscription only).
  • Refund method: refunds will be returned to the original payment account, usually within 5–10 business days.
  • Non-refundable conditions: more than 50% of the monthly token quota has been used; duplicate purchase of the same membership level; account ban due to violation of these Terms; or other circumstances where applicable law does not permit refunds.
  • How to apply: send an email to support@ooplot.net with the order number, account email, and reason for refund.

We reserve the right to decide on refunds on a case-by-case basis. Repeated refunds or abuse of the refund policy may result in account restrictions.

11. Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time in account settings. After account deletion, we will retain or delete your data in accordance with the Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services without prior notice for: violations of these Terms; fraudulent or abusive behavior; infringement of third-party rights; legal or regulatory requirements; prolonged inactivity; or to protect the security and integrity of the Services. After termination, provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) shall remain in full force and effect.

12. Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no express or implied warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, completeness, timeliness, or error-free operation. AI-generated code and charts may contain errors, and you should verify them yourself. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that any defects will be corrected. Your use of the Services is at your own risk.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OOPLOT and its affiliates, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or punitive damages (including loss of profits, data loss, loss of goodwill, service interruption, etc.) arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, regardless of whether such liability is based on contract, tort, strict liability, or other theories, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability shall not exceed the total amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or US$100, whichever is higher. This limitation of liability does not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and your relationship with OOPLOT shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, either party may bring the dispute before a competent People's Court at the defendant's location or the place of contract performance. For EU consumers, you retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

15. Region-Specific Legal Notices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional legal protections:

  • EU/EEA Users: under the GDPR, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. If you believe we have violated the GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority of your country of residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
  • California Residents: under the CCPA/CPRA, you have the right to know the categories of personal information we collect, to delete your personal information, to correct inaccurate personal information, to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (we do not sell your personal information), and not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.
  • Mainland China Users: under the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), you have the rights to access, copy, correct, supplement, delete, and withdraw consent, and the right to request an explanation of our personal information processing rules.
  • Japan and Korea Users: under the APPI (Japan) and PIPA (Korea), you have the right to request disclosure, correction, suspension of use, or deletion of your personal information. We will handle your request in accordance with local legal requirements.

16. General Provisions

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and OOPLOT regarding the Services and supersede all prior oral or written communications, negotiations, and agreements. If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that part shall be modified or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. Our failure or delay in exercising any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign ours without restriction. Headings in these Terms are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. In case of inconsistency between any translated version and the Chinese version, the Chinese version shall prevail.
