1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Solve website ("solve.net," the "Site," or the "Service"), operated by the Solve team ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you may not access or use the Service. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service following any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

Solve is a platform that collects and catalogues unsolved problems in the mathematical sciences. Users may browse problems, submit new problems, and propose solutions. The Service is provided for informational and academic purposes only.

3. User Accounts and Registration

To access certain features of the Service, you must register for an account. When registering, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information;
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information;
  • Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials;
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account;
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

Your display name and username will be publicly visible alongside any content you submit, including problems, solutions, and comments. You are solely responsible for any content you post under your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for conduct that we determine violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason.

4. Content Disclaimer — "As Is"

All content on this website, including but not limited to problem statements, solutions, references, mathematical formulations, descriptions, and any other material, is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

No guarantees are provided regarding the correctness, accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or suitability of any content. The Solve team does not assume any responsibility or liability for any content published on or through the Service, whether submitted by the Solve team, its users, or third parties. Users rely on any information provided through the Service entirely at their own risk.

5. Prohibited Uses — AI Training

You may not use, scrape, harvest, copy, reproduce, or otherwise collect any content from this website for the purpose of training, developing, fine-tuning, or evaluating artificial intelligence models, machine learning systems, large language models, neural networks, or any similar automated systems, whether commercial or non-commercial, without our prior express written consent.

Any automated access to the Site for such purposes, including but not limited to crawling, scraping, or data mining, is strictly prohibited and constitutes a violation of these Terms.

6. Prohibited Uses — Commercial Purposes

No part of this website, including its content, data, design, compilation, or structure, may be reproduced, copied, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, transmitted, or used for any commercial purpose without our prior express written consent. This includes, but is not limited to, incorporating content into commercial products, services, publications, or databases.

7. Intellectual Property and Third-Party Content

A significant portion of the content displayed on this website — including problem statements, conjectures, definitions, theorems, and related mathematical formulations — is derived from, references, or summarizes material originally published in academic research papers, textbooks, preprints, and other scholarly sources. All such content remains the intellectual property of the original authors, publishers, and rights holders. The Solve team does not claim ownership of any third-party intellectual property.

The Service functions as a curated index and mode of access to information about unsolved problems in the mathematical sciences. Where possible, the Service provides citations, references, and links to the original sources. The inclusion of any content on this Site is intended solely for non-commercial, educational, and scholarly purposes, consistent with principles of fair use and academic discourse.

The compilation, organization, categorization, and presentation of content on the Site — that is, the original editorial and structural work created by the Solve team — are the property of the Solve team and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. This does not extend to the underlying mathematical or scientific content itself, which belongs to the respective original authors and rights holders.

By submitting content to the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the right to do so and that your submission does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and make available your submitted content through the Service for non-commercial and academic purposes.

If you are a rights holder and believe that any content on this Site infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us so that we may promptly review and address your concern, including removal of the content if appropriate.

  • Claims related to scientific priority, including but not limited to disputes over who first posed, solved, or contributed to a particular problem;
  • Copyright or intellectual property claims arising from user-submitted or third-party content;
  • Any errors or omissions in the attribution of authorship, contributions, or credit.

Users acknowledge that mathematical and scientific attribution is inherently complex and that the Solve team makes no representations regarding the completeness or accuracy of any attributions displayed on the Service.
