Summary
This is a plain-language summary (we know legal terms can be dense), it gives you the gist, but the Full Terms are what actually apply, and we encourage you to read them so you’re fully comfortable using DrugBank.
-
Who we are: DrugBank is managed by OMx Personal Health Analytics Inc. (“OMx”).
-
What you get: You receive a limited license to use DrugBank’s websites and related services. By using DrugBank, you’re agreeing to these terms, and if you don’t agree, you can’t use the service.
-
Free vs. paid: Free access = website (go.drugbank.com) + academic downloads (must apply to access). Anything commercial in nature requires a commercial license.
-
Research, not medicine: DrugBank is for research and learning. It’s not medical advice.
-
Play fair: Don’t copy, resell, or use DrugBank to build competing products.
-
Your account = your responsibility: Be 13+ (or have guardian consent) and keep your login safe.
-
We own the data: You can use it, but DrugBank’s content and brand stay ours. Some data in DrugBank comes from external sources, and when that’s the case, it may be subject to its own license terms, which still apply.
-
Disputes: Governed by Alberta law, usually handled by mediation/arbitration.
-
Privacy: We collect account and usage information as described in our Privacy Policy.
-
Contact: If you have questions about the Terms or Privacy Policy, you can always reach out to us.
