1. Purpose of the Platform

The Neural E-commerce Research Platform is a simulated environment. It is not a real business. No physical goods exist, no real money changes hands, and no items will ever be shipped.

2. Voluntary Participation

By creating an account, you agree to participate in an academic study regarding online shopping behavior. Your interactions with the website will be logged and analyzed in aggregate.

3. Simulated Transactions

Upon signup, your account is credited with a simulated digital balance. Any purchases made deduct from this simulated balance. Do not enter any real credit card numbers or financial information anywhere on this site.

4. Code of Conduct

You agree not to use automated bots, scrapers, or other tools to artificially inflate interactions or disrupt the platform's stability. The research team reserves the right to terminate any account found to be interfering with the data collection process.
