Terms of Service Change History

The previous agreement was with Sykora IT s.r.o., a Czech company licensing Jira apps. The new agreement is with Arizona State University operating a research data repository. Users are subject to entirely different organizational policies, support structures, and legal jurisdictions.

Effective: September 28, 2026

The entire terms of service has been replaced. The previous version was a EULA for USU Service Management Connector for Jira (a third-party app vendor agreement by Sykora IT s.r.o.). The new version is ASU Research Data Repository General Terms of Use governing a research data management platform. These are fundamentally different services with different operators, scopes, and legal frameworks.

Effective: November 18, 2020

The new ToS introduces a 'Data Use Agreement' as a legally-binding license contract between Depositors and Downloaders of datasets. This represents a new licensing mechanism not present in the previous Jira app agreement, giving depositors control over data usage restrictions.

Effective: November 18, 2020

The new agreement explicitly states ASU reserves the right to modify terms at sole discretion without prior notice, with continued use constituting acceptance. This is a broad modification clause that differs from typical vendor app agreements and gives ASU significant unilateral power over user obligations.

Effective: November 18, 2020

The previous agreement referenced Czech Republic law and Brno courts. The new agreement is governed by Arizona State University policies and operates under US law framework, representing a significant change in legal jurisdiction and applicable dispute resolution mechanisms.
