These terms cover use of this website only. If you engage DASS for a project, that engagement is governed by its own separate written agreement or statement of work, which controls over anything on this page in the event of a conflict. Last updated: September 23, 2026.
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of statisticalsolutions.org (the "site"), operated by DASS (Data Analysis & Statistical Solutions). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
Content on this site — including the blog, case studies, and service descriptions — is general information about our practice and about statistical methods. It is not a substitute for a scoped engagement, is not tailored to your specific data or project, and shouldn't be relied on as a specific recommendation for your situation. Nothing on this site creates a client relationship, an engagement, or any obligation on either side. An engagement begins only once we've agreed on scope and both signed a proposal, statement of work, or contract.
You're welcome to browse, read, and share links to this site. You may not: scrape or systematically extract content for republication; attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site or its underlying systems; use the site's contact form, subscription form, or any other feature to send unsolicited commercial messages; or use the site in any way that violates applicable law.
The text, design, graphics, and blog content on this site are owned by DASS (or licensed to us) and protected by copyright and other applicable laws. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link back to the source. Beyond that, please ask first. This section covers the website itself — ownership of deliverables and work product from an actual engagement (analysis, code, reports, figures) is addressed in that engagement's own agreement, not here.
Statistical and methodological guidance published here — including on the blog — is general commentary, not advice about your specific data, study, or decision. It doesn't create a consulting relationship. If you need advice you can rely on for an actual decision, that requires an engagement, not a blog post.
The free tools on this site, including the power-analysis calculators and the APA results formatters, are planning and formatting aids. Their results depend entirely on the inputs you choose and on whether your study matches the design the tool assumes. Check any result against your actual design and analysis before using it in a protocol, grant application, ethics submission, preregistration, or publication. The tools are covered by the "No warranty; limitation of liability" section below.
Submitting the DASS Network interest form tells us you may be interested in collaborating. It does not create an employment, independent-contractor, partnership, or agency relationship, and it creates no obligation for you or for DASS to work together. Any collaboration would be set out in a separate written agreement.
How we handle information submitted through this site (the contact form, the DASS Network interest form, email, or the blog subscription form) is described in our Privacy Policy. As that policy explains, please don't send sensitive or identifiable participant, patient, student, or other protected data through this site — the site's forms and email are not a secure transfer method. Secure file-transfer arrangements are set up once an engagement begins.
This site and its content are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, DASS is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site. This limitation does not apply to liability arising from an actual engagement, which is governed by that engagement's own agreement.
This site links to third-party services (for example, Calendly and LinkedIn). We aren't responsible for the content, policies, or practices of sites we don't operate.
We may update these terms from time to time as our practice or this site changes. The version posted here is always the current one, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
