The use of TSS data is restricted to scientific purposes only, and any commercial or other economic use of the data is not permitted.

Researchers are authorized to publish TSS data only in a summarized manner. Presentation or publication of individual cases, even with no direct connection to any real person, is strictly prohibited.

Internal distribution of TSS data is not allowed. All researchers who wish to use TSS data must register individually with the archive and sign the data use agreement.
