Terms of Use

The agreement between you and Sinaps: what the service is, what you may do with it, and what we promise.

In effect from 1 September 2026

1. Who you are agreeing with

Sinaps is an independent study platform for medical students. Sinaps is operated from Chișinău, Republic of Moldova. A Moldovan company is being registered; these documents will be updated with its registered name and address once it is.

Sinaps is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any university, faculty, or examining or licensing body. Nothing here is an official course resource.

By creating an account you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not create an account. Questions: hello@sinaps.md.

2. Your account

You need an account to use Sinaps. Give an email address you actually control, and keep your password to yourself.

An account belongs to one person. Sharing an account, or your credentials, is not allowed. During the free beta we count the devices you sign in from but do not restrict them; once the service is paid, an account may be limited to a small number of devices, and we will tell you the number before that starts.

You must be old enough to hold an account under the law where you live. Sinaps is built for university students.

3. The beta

Sinaps is free for everyone from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. During that period it is explicitly a beta: features change, content is incomplete, and the service may be unavailable without notice.

We do not promise any level of availability, and we may change or remove features during the beta. If we decide to start charging, we will say so clearly before it applies to you, and you will never be charged automatically for something you signed up to while it was free.

4. What you may do with the content

Lessons, questions, and simulations on Sinaps are licensed to you for your own study, for as long as your account is active. That licence is personal and cannot be transferred.

You may not republish, sell, or redistribute the content; scrape it, or extract it in bulk by any automated means; or use it to build a competing service or to train a machine-learning model.

We apply rate limits designed to stop bulk extraction, not to stop studying. If a limit gets in the way of ordinary use, tell us and we will fix it.

5. Material you send us

You can send us your own study materials — lecture notes, summaries, your own worked revision — for us to turn into lessons and questions. Do not send us examination papers or any material you are not free to share.

You keep ownership of everything you send. You grant us a licence to store it, read it, and create new teaching material from it. That licence lasts as long as the material we derived from it is published.

Your files are never republished or shared with other students. They are visible to you and to the administrator who reviews them, and nothing else. Only the material we write from them enters the shared library.

By sending a file you confirm that you have the right to share it with us and that doing so does not breach anyone else's rights or any confidentiality obligation you are under. Do not send anything containing patient information.

6. Copyright and takedown

Sinaps does not host or redistribute copyrighted source documents. Published lessons and questions are written material derived from study sources, not copies of them.

If you believe something published on Sinaps infringes your rights, write to copyright@sinaps.md with enough detail to identify the material. We will review it promptly and remove anything we cannot justify keeping. We would rather remove first and discuss after.

7. Acceptable use

Do not attempt to gain access to accounts, data, or systems that are not yours; probe or interfere with the security of the service; upload malicious files; or use Sinaps to harass anyone.

If you find a security problem, please report it to us before disclosing it publicly. We will not pursue anyone who reports a genuine issue in good faith and gives us a reasonable chance to fix it.

8. Payment (after the beta)

Sinaps is free during the beta. If paid access starts, it will be sold as a pass covering a defined study period rather than as an automatically renewing subscription.

Payments will be handled by a payment provider acting as merchant of record. That provider, not Sinaps, will be the seller on your receipt and will handle tax. Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.

9. Suspension and closing your account

You can close your account at any time from your account page or by writing to us. When you do, your personal data is deleted as described in the Privacy Notice.

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms — in particular one being shared, or being used to extract content in bulk. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will warn you first.

10. No warranty, and the limits of our liability

Sinaps is educational material, provided as it is. We do not warrant that the content is complete, current, or free of error, or that using it will produce any particular exam result.

Sinaps is not medical advice and must not be used to make clinical decisions. See the Medical Education Disclaimer.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost study time, or for exam outcomes. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights, we will tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Sinaps after that means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Moldova, and the courts of Moldova have jurisdiction. If you use Sinaps as a consumer in another country, this does not remove protections you have under the mandatory law of the country you live in.
