1. The Registry is owned by SEMI Solutions Médicales/4466781 CANADA INC (hereinafter referred to as SemiWeb), which operates it.

2. CATALIS oversees the use of the Registry and may make requests to SemiWeb based on suggestions received from members of its network. The ESSS own the research data and have consented to the inclusion of certain data in the Registry's content.
3. While reasonable measures are taken to ensure the accuracy of the provided data, it may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate.
