1. Description of Services

Guanaco Labs provides custom nanobody generation services. Clients submit antigen identities or sequences, and we utilize proprietary llama immunization and sequencing protocols to generate nanobodies. The resulting data is provided to the client as service deliverables.

2. User Accounts and Responsibilities

• Account Creation: To use our services, you must register for an account and provide accurate, current, and complete information.
• Security: You are strictly responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

• Client Ownership: You retain all ownership rights to the original antigen identities and sequences you submit to Guanaco Labs.
