Genomics LIMS Licence Agreement

Effective date: 9 November 2026

This agreement is between Taimoor Khan, trading as Sci Chores (“we”, “us”), and the laboratory or organisation that installs or uses Genomics LIMS (“you”). By installing or using the software, or by paying for a licence, you agree to it. If you do not agree, do not install or use the software.

1. The licence

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Genomics LIMS for your organisation’s own laboratory work, within the plan you have:

• Demo: available to anyone, to evaluate the software, for 30 days from its first start, with every module, for up to 3 users and 200 samples. When it ends the software becomes read-only: your records can still be viewed, searched, printed and exported. A demo comes without support commitments.
• Pro and Premium: the features, user and sample limits and dates set out in your licence file (license.lic), for the installation it was issued for.

One licence covers one installation: one desktop installation, or one central server and the people your organisation lets use it. Moving a licence to a new computer or server is free. Contact us and we will reissue it for the new installation ID.

2. What you may not do

• Share, sell, rent or publish the software, its download links or your licence file to anyone outside your organisation.
• Change, bypass or disable the licence checks or the demo period, or use a licence file on an installation it was not issued for.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile or modify the software, except where the law expressly allows it.
• Remove copyright or licence notices.

3. Ordering and payment

Pro and Premium licences are ordered through the request form or by email. We send a quote and an invoice. You pay the invoice by bank transfer or another method we agree in writing, in the currency stated on it. Bank charges on your side are yours. We issue the licence file once the full payment has arrived. Payment details are only ever sent in our invoice emails. If you receive payment instructions any other way, check with us before paying.

4. Refunds

Please use the demo to make sure Genomics LIMS suits you before buying. If a paid licence does not work as described and we cannot fix the problem, ask for a refund within 14 days of receiving the licence file. When we refund, the licence is cancelled and the installation returns to the demo, which is read-only once its 30 days have passed. Your records are kept.

5. Term, updates and renewal

Pro and Premium licences run for the period in the licence file, normally one year, and include the updates released during it. After the end date there are 14 days’ grace. After that the installation becomes read-only until you renew: your records stay available to view, search, print and export, but nothing new can be recorded. A licence problem never deletes or hides your records.

6. Your data

Your laboratory data is stored in your own PostgreSQL database and belongs to you. The software does not send your laboratory or patient data to us. Checking for updates contacts our download server and sends only the software version. You are responsible for securing your servers and computers, backing up your database, and meeting the data-protection laws that apply to you.

7. Validation and clinical use

Genomics LIMS is laboratory management software. It is not a medical device and does not interpret results or make diagnoses. Before using it for patient testing or in an accredited process, you are responsible for validating it for your intended use, for example with the validation documents we provide, and for the results and reports your laboratory releases.

8. Support

Paid licences include help by email with installing, licensing and using the software during the licence period, on a reasonable-effort basis. Demo users can contact us too, but we can’t promise a response time.

9. Ownership

The software, its documentation and all rights in them belong to Taimoor Khan. You receive a licence to use the software, not ownership of it. The Windows installer includes PostgreSQL, which is provided under its own licence.

10. No warranty

Apart from the refund in section 4, the software is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation, to the extent the law allows.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for loss of data, results, revenue or profits. Our total liability under this agreement is limited to the amount you paid us for the licence in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in this agreement limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Ending this agreement

You may stop using the software at any time. If you seriously break this agreement, for example by sharing licence files or bypassing licence checks, we may cancel your licence without refund. Sections 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 13 continue after the agreement ends.

13. Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of Pakistan. Any dispute will be handled by the courts of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, unless the law of your country gives you the right to bring a claim where you are based.

14. Changes and contact

We may update this agreement for future licences and renewals. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed. A licence you have already paid for stays under the terms in force when you bought it. Questions? Use the request form or the contact page.
