Without prejudice to the application of the general AUP by the client, this Agreement contains the rules and conditions applicable to the use of DMPonline.be. By using this platform the user is bound by these terms.
The following is a specification of the use of DMPonline, in addition to the extensive explanation of the service on the admin and tech FAQ of the Belnet website.
DMPonline.be is hosted at BELNET, which holds/stores the data management plans on behalf of the client on secure servers in Belgium. However, the plans are the property and responsibility of the client.
The information the client enter into DMPonline.be can only be accessed by the client, people the client choose to share access with (e.g. collaborators), and – for the sole purpose of maintaining the service – system administrators appointed by Belnet. At any point in time, the client can decide to update or delete (parts of) his information stored by DMPonline.be. If the client decide he need to share this information in other contexts, the client can export it in a number of formats. Belnet may collect aggregated metadata information from data management plans, but will not directly access, make use of, publish or in any way share your plans with anyone else without the permission of the client.
