Licence and price

Free preview access

The SharpED online service is currently available as a free experimental preview. No service fee is charged during the Free Preview Period, which is scheduled to end on 31 October 2026.

SharpED may be used for research, teaching, publications, internal work and commercial activity, subject to the SharpED Temporary Online Service Terms and applicable third-party rights.

There is no automatic renewal or conversion to a paid subscription. From 1 November 2026, the service may be discontinued, restricted or offered under new terms, which may include different conditions for academic, non-commercial and commercial use.

Your data and results

You retain your rights in the data you submit. SharpED does not claim ownership of your input or output data.

Scientific input and output files are processed temporarily and are automatically deleted from the active service environment after the result has been transmitted or the processing job has been closed. They are not retained in routine backups and are not used to train, validate or improve SharpED or another model.

Scientific responsibility

SharpED output is an algorithmic reconstruction and may contain artefacts, displaced peaks, omitted features or other plausible but incorrect detail. Always inspect the reconstructed and original maps together and validate all conclusions against the measured diffraction data, standard crystallographic calculations, chemical plausibility and appropriate expert judgement.

Terms of use

By submitting data to SharpED, you confirm that you have read and accepted the current service terms and that you have the necessary rights and permissions to process the submitted data.
