I/We agree to the terms and conditions (page 2) and understand that CCAMP Protein Core Technology is not obliged to provide the requested services based on this form. I/We agree to be contacted for more details in the event that service is accepted or notified otherwise. I/We agree to acknowledge the facility in any publications arising out this project. Signature of Research Supervisor Signature of Service Requestor FOR OFFICE USE ONLY: Expected deliverables for user at the end of service/s: After Cloning____________ After Expression____________ After Purification____________ NB. Details provided to be included in experimental plan for user for approval Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms National Centre for Biological Sciences GKVK Campus, Bellary Road, Bengaluru 560065, India Phone: 080 23666001/002, 080 67176001/002 1 PROTEIN TECHNOLOGY CORE Terms and conditions: Types of service workflows: a) Expression & purification services alone: If client provides the construct containing insert for expression & purification services only, all information including the sequence of insert/s, details on the construct/vector /s etc should be provided by the client. As it is mandatory to check for purity and yield irrespective of the available data, facility will perform the following: DNA sequencing confirmation of insert, expression, solubility, purity and yield check, before further large scale expression and purification. b) Purification services alone: If the client requires purification only, all details requested and information such as, source, natural or recombinant and in case of recombinant - nucleic acid and amino acid sequence of the insert, details of purification tag/s etc should be provided by the client. Deliverables and Payment terms: a) Results obtained at checkpoints shall be shared with the client. Deliverables (e.g. Constructs, strains etc) will be provided to the client upon request and upon achievement of checkpoints. If not requested during the service, deliverables shall be provided at the conclusion of the service. b) Multiple quotations and/or proforma invoices may be given to the client during the course of the service (dependent on requirements of client and agreed payment schedule); however a single invoice will be raised for the complete service for payment by the client. Vector/strain (/s) used and provided by facility: a) For commercial/non-academic entities - Vectors/strains used by the facility for delivery of services and provided to the client at the end of a service are to be used only for that given gene. Vectors/strains cannot be used to express other proteins and are not to be shared freely with third party organizations. For commercialization of any technology based on the vectors/strains provided, permission must be sought from the organization/company owning the rights/IP on the vector/s or strain/s. If any infringement of this notice occurs, the facility shall not be held responsible for forthcoming arbitrations. b) For academic/research institutions - Vectors and strains provided by the facility can be used ONLY for research purposes and cannot be shared with third parties. It can only be used to express the protein that was cloned by the facility. If the system is used for filing IP or for commercial activities, the institution and investigator are responsible for getting the appropriate permission(s) from the company with the proprietary rights on the vectors/strains used. Publications & Acknowledgements: In the event that results from the service provided are to be published, depending on the intellectual input provided by CCAMP Protein facility, authorship can be discussed. In any event regardless of authorship, the Protein facility must be acknowledged in any publication of results from the service. Please note: The facility through its expertise and experience will assure the best of services as requested. In some cases, due to the unpredictability of proteins, variance and their functional behavior, it may not be possible to obtain functionally active protein. For activity studies, client may approach facility head for discussion on feasibility. This will be a separate custom service request. Appropriate internal positive controls will be used to assure the genomic integration of the gene in the P. pastoris genome as well as for expression. In case of service failures due to unforeseen reasons (e.g. no expression observed, unable to purify etc), client will still be invoiced for the services rendered.
