Terms of use
Last updated 27 October 2026 · Revisenda (formerly Research Colab) is operated by LunarAI LLC.
Your work stays yours
You keep all rights to everything you upload or write here — manuscripts, data, figures, discussion. We claim no ownership and no licence beyond what is technically necessary to run the service for you: storing your files, showing them to the collaborators you invite, compiling your PDF, and backing the whole thing up.
We do not use your manuscripts to train AI models, and we do not sell or share them. See Who can see your work for exactly which third parties process your data and why.
You can leave with everything
Two exports, both available at any time without asking us: Settings → Export manuscript gives you a zip of the current files plus every uploaded figure, and History → Full historygives you every version with its diffs and a changelog. There is no lock-in mechanism and no exit fee, and we will not hold your manuscript hostage to a subscription.
Deleting your account removes your data, and projects only you belong to go with it. One limit worth knowing before you rely on it: if you own a project other people are still members of, deletion is refused rather than destroying their work — hand that project to another owner, or delete it, and deletion proceeds.
This is early software
Revisenda is in early access. It is provided as-is, without warranty. It may have bugs, it may be briefly unavailable, and features may change. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose. We take backups seriously, and the privacy page states exactly what this deployment does and where copies live — but no backup regime is a substitute for your own copy of your own paper.
To the extent the law allows, our liability is limited to the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before a claim; for an account that has never paid, that is nothing.
Plans, free months and payment
The pricing page is the authoritative list of plans and prices. The principle: the owner of a paper pays, and everyone they invite writes free. The Free plan includes one active paper you own and unlimited papers you are invited to, and it stays free.
Free months. A new account gets three months of the Researcher plan at no charge, with no card. Each collaborator who accepts an invitation to a paper you own adds one month, up to three. When the free months end, the account moves to the Free plan unless you have subscribed. Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked away: papers beyond the Free plan's one active paper are paused (they can be read, edited, discussed and exported, but not compiled or updated from files) until you archive papers down to the limit or subscribe. Accounts created during early access are told the date their free months end at least 30 days in advance, by email.
Subscriptions are billed by Stripe, monthly or yearly, in advance, and renew automatically until cancelled. Cancel at any time from your Account page; the plan runs to the end of the period already paid for and no further charges are made. Refunds: if you cancel a yearly plan within 14 days of first paying for it, ask and we refund it in full. Prices may change with at least 30 days' notice; a change never applies to a period already paid for. Taxes are added where the law requires.
If the service ends
If Revisenda shuts down, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email to every account, during which export continues to work. We will not delete your data without telling you first.
What we ask of you
Use it for research writing. Don't upload other people's work without the right to do so, don't attempt to break into other accounts or projects, and don't use it to store material that is illegal where you are.
You are responsible for what your collaborators can see: inviting someone to a project gives them access to that project's manuscript and discussion. If your institution restricts where unpublished research may be stored, check before inviting people from outside it.
AI features
AI drafts summaries, decisions, and reviewer interpretations, and proposes edits. No AI action becomes authoritative without a human confirming it, and no AI agent can approve a change into the shared version of your manuscript — that requires a signed-in person. Treat AI output as a suggestion from a well-read colleague who has not checked their work.
Content sent to the AI provider is limited to what the feature needs — discussion text, decision summaries and section outlines. The provider in use is named on your project's AI settings page, and a project owner can switch it off entirely or supply their own key.
Accounts
One account per person, with an address you control. You are responsible for keeping your password to yourself. Tell us if you think an account has been compromised and we will help you secure it.
Changes to these terms
If we change anything that materially affects you, we will email every account rather than quietly updating this page. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
Getting in touch
Questions, complaints, or anything that reads as unfair: email the team. A person reads every message.
