The SentiGOLD dataset owners/administrators reserve the right to change this EULA at any time; users will be informed about changes beforehand and given the choice to opt out of the new EULA. Opting out will render the previous EULA void (and thus the user will lose their right to use the dataset).
If at any point, the administrators of the dataset have a reasonable doubt that the
user does not act in accordance with this EULA, he/she will be notified of this and will immediately be denied access to the database. In this case, they will need to delete any copies of the dataset that they have created. Administrators can take necessary legal action according to the misuse of the SentiGOLD dataset.
The dataset comes without any warranty, the SentiGOLD dataset administrators can not be held accountable for any damage (physical, financial or otherwise) caused by the use of the database.
