1. General information
Scholar Legacy provides tools and hosting for individual scholars and researchers to create and manage their own personal websites. Information on this site and on individual Scholar Legacy sites is provided for informational and personal purposes only and is not intended to represent official communications from any educational institution or employer.
Scholar Legacy makes reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and up to date, but we do not warrant that any information is complete, current, or error-free. Use of this site and of any Scholar Legacy-hosted site is at your own discretion and risk.
2. Institutional affiliation disclaimer
Scholar Legacy is an independent service that provides personal websites for individual scholars and researchers. Scholar Legacy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected with any university, college, or other educational institution.
Any institutional names that appear on this site (for example, in a scholar's biography or in descriptions of color palettes) are used solely for the purpose of accurately identifying the scholar's current or past employment and for describing general color inspirations. Such uses are nominative and descriptive only, and do not imply any sponsorship, endorsement, or licensing relationship between Scholar Legacy and those institutions.
All trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and other proprietary indicia (including institutional names, mascots, and official color schemes) remain the property of their respective owners. Scholar Legacy does not use institutional logos or mascots, and our website designs are not presented or sold as official institutional websites or official representations of any institution.
3. Colors and design themes
Some website themes offered by Scholar Legacy use color palettes that may be similar to, or inspired by, the general visual identities of educational institutions where scholars work. These themes are provided for personal use by the scholar and are not licensed, approved, or authorized by any institution.
Scholar Legacy does not claim to reproduce any institution's official trade dress, and does not represent that any theme is an official or authorized design of any university or college.
Color approximation notice
The color palettes used in Scholar Legacy themes are intended as general, aesthetically pleasing representations inspired by the visual identities of various institutions. Exact official color specifications (including Pantone, RGB, or hex values) are not guaranteed, and colors may be adjusted or approximated for readability and design purposes. Color representations in theme previews are illustrative only and may vary based on display settings and implementation.
4. Scholar content responsibility
Each Scholar Legacy website is owned and controlled by the individual scholar who creates it. The views, opinions, and content expressed on any Scholar Legacy site are solely those of the individual scholar, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Scholar Legacy or any institution with which the scholar is or has been affiliated.
Scholars are responsible for ensuring that the content they publish complies with applicable laws, institutional policies, and contractual obligations, including any obligations related to intellectual property, confidentiality, or research ethics.
5. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, content created by scholars on their individual sites (including text, images, audio, and video) is owned by those scholars or their licensors. Content and design elements created by Scholar Legacy (including templates, layouts, and platform features) are owned by Scholar Legacy or its licensors.
Nothing on this site grants any license or right to use the trademarks, service marks, logos, or trade dress of any institution, scholar, or third party, except as permitted by law under descriptive or nominative fair use principles. Any unauthorized use of such marks may violate trademark or other laws.
