Acceptable Use Policy
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This Acceptable Use Policy ("Policy" or "AUP") governs access to and use of the websites, hosted platform, applications, administrative interfaces, application programming interfaces, software development kits, documentation, scoring services, reports, analytical outputs, testing environments, webhooks, and related products and services made available by The Senior Wellness Company, doing business as MedQuiry ("MedQuiry," "we," "our," or "us") (collectively, the "Services").
This Policy applies to every individual or organization that accesses or uses the Services, including individual users, customers, enterprise customers, Authorized Users, administrators, contractors, developers, integration partners, and any person acting on their behalf.
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to comply with this Policy. If you access or use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and references to "you" and "your" include both you and the organization.
You must not access or use the Services if you do not agree to this Policy.
1. PURPOSE
MedQuiry provides an artificial intelligence-assisted platform for evaluating the methodological characteristics of published medical and scientific research.
This Policy is intended to:
- promote lawful, ethical, secure, and responsible use of the Services;
- protect users, customers, third parties, and MedQuiry;
- preserve the confidentiality, security, availability, integrity, and reliability of the Services;
- protect MedQuiry's proprietary scoring methodologies, rubrics, prompts, models, algorithms, validation rules, and related intellectual property;
- reduce the risk of deceptive, harmful, abusive, or misleading use of MedQuiry Results and API Outputs;
- support research integrity and responsible scientific communication; and
- establish conduct that may result in investigation, restriction, suspension, or termination.
This Policy does not describe every activity that may be prohibited. Conduct may violate this Policy if it creates a material risk to the Services, MedQuiry, another customer, a user, or a third party, even if the conduct is not specifically identified below.
2. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER AGREEMENTS
This Policy supplements the agreement governing your use of the Services, which may include:
- the MedQuiry Terms of Service;
- an Enterprise License Agreement;
- an Order Form, subscription agreement, statement of work, or other commercial agreement;
- the MedQuiry API Terms of Use;
- a Data Processing Addendum;
- a Business Associate Agreement;
- applicable service-level, security, implementation, or data-handling schedules;
- the MedQuiry Privacy Policy;
- the Documentation; and
- any other terms or policies expressly incorporated into the applicable agreement.
Together, the applicable documents constitute the "Agreement."
Unless an executed agreement expressly provides otherwise, this Policy does not:
- expand MedQuiry's warranties;
- create a service-level commitment;
- create a professional, fiduciary, healthcare-provider, physician-patient, research-collaboration, or advisory relationship;
- authorize the submission of sensitive or regulated information;
- grant rights to MedQuiry Technology;
- modify applicable payment obligations; or
- limit any rights or remedies available to MedQuiry under the Agreement or applicable law.
If this Policy conflicts with a separately executed agreement, the separately executed agreement will control to the extent of the conflict. A Data Processing Addendum or Business Associate Agreement will control solely with respect to the subject matter it governs.
Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy have the meanings assigned to them in the applicable Agreement.

You must independently review the underlying research and exercise appropriate professional judgment before relying on any Result or API Output.
You must not use a Result or API Output as the sole basis for a material decision concerning an identifiable individual's healthcare, employment, credit, housing, education, insurance, eligibility for essential services, or other similarly significant interest.
8. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND AUTOMATED ANALYSIS
You acknowledge that Results and API Outputs may be generated through artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, statistical algorithms, proprietary analytical models, and other automated processes.
You must not:
- represent an automated Result as a definitive, error-free, complete, current, or universally accepted determination;
- conceal the automated nature of an output where disclosure is legally, professionally, contractually, or ethically required;
- represent that a Result has been individually reviewed, approved, or verified by a clinician, researcher, statistician, editor, or other professional unless that review actually occurred;

- selectively quote, crop, alter, summarize, or present a Result in a materially misleading manner;
- alter a score, report, explanation, category assessment, provenance record, or version identifier and attribute the altered material to MedQuiry;
- use a Result to falsely discredit, defame, harass, or target an author, researcher, journal, institution, sponsor, or publisher;
- submit substantially identical, manipulated, or synthetic versions of a study to obtain a desired score or infer proprietary decision rules;
- use the Services to facilitate plagiarism, ghostwriting, undisclosed authorship, fraudulent publication, citation manipulation, paper-mill activity, or deceptive academic conduct;
- represent that use of the Services satisfies a publication, regulatory, peer-review, funding, institutional, or research-ethics requirement unless the responsible organization has expressly accepted that use;
- falsely state or imply that MedQuiry is a co-author, collaborator, sponsor, investigator, reviewer, certifying body, regulator, or endorser; or
- use Results in a manner that materially obscures their version, date, scope, source, assumptions, or limitations.
Accurate academic citation and legitimate scholarly discussion are permitted, subject to the Agreement and applicable intellectual-property, attribution, and publication requirements.
10. CUSTOMER CONTENT AND SUBMITTED MATERIALS
"Customer Content" includes data, text, files, metadata, manuscripts, abstracts, identifiers, citations, URLs, prompts, instructions, uploaded study PDFs, and other materials submitted to, stored in, or processed through the Services by or for you.
Where the Services provide a personal document locker associated with your account (the "Personal Locker"), an uploaded study PDF may be retained and automatically stored in your Personal Locker so that it remains available to you through the Services.
The Personal Locker is provided as part of the Services for storing study PDFs and related materials made available through authorized MedQuiry functionality. You must not use the Personal Locker as a general-purpose file-storage service or to store material that you are prohibited from submitting under this Policy or the Agreement.
Your responsibility for Customer Content continues while that content remains stored in your Personal Locker. You remain responsible for ensuring that you have the rights and authority necessary for MedQuiry to host, store, access, process, copy, and transmit an uploaded study as contemplated by the Agreement and Privacy Policy.
You must not submit Customer Content unless you own or have obtained all rights, licenses, permissions, notices, consents, and lawful bases necessary for MedQuiry to process it as contemplated by the Agreement.
You must not submit Customer Content that:
- infringes copyright, trademark, trade-secret, database, contractual, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
- is unlawfully obtained or disclosed;
- contains malware, malicious instructions, or destructive payloads;
- contains confidential information you are not authorized to provide;
- contains personal information or regulated data prohibited by the Agreement;
- is materially false, deceptive, manipulated, or submitted for a fraudulent purpose;
- violates publication-access terms, institutional restrictions, licensing terms, or database conditions;
- contains credentials, passwords, private keys, authentication secrets, or other security information;
- is subject to export-control restrictions or sanctions-related limitations that prohibit processing; or
- would cause MedQuiry's processing to violate law or third-party rights.
You remain responsible for the legality, accuracy, quality, completeness, provenance, and appropriateness of Customer Content.
11. PERSONAL INFORMATION, PHI, AND SENSITIVE DATA
You must minimize the personal information submitted through the Services and limit submissions to information reasonably necessary for the authorized use. Because an uploaded study PDF may be retained in your Personal Locker, you must review the material you submit and must not upload or store prohibited personal information, PHI, confidential clinical records, or other sensitive or regulated data except where expressly authorized under the Agreement.
Unless MedQuiry has expressly authorized the applicable data category, environment, and use case in writing, you must not submit:
- patient-identifiable information;
- protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and its implementing regulations ("PHI");
- identifiable medical records;
- clinical charts;
- laboratory records associated with identifiable patients;
- diagnostic images associated with identifiable patients;
- health-insurance information;
- Social Security numbers;
- government identification numbers;
- complete payment-card information;
- bank-account credentials;
- passwords or authentication secrets;
- biometric identifiers;
- precise geolocation information;
- personal information concerning children;
- genetic information associated with an identifiable individual; or
- other similarly sensitive or specially regulated information.
PHI may be submitted only when:
- MedQuiry has expressly approved the specific use case;
- the parties have executed a Business Associate Agreement, if required;
- the applicable Order Form or other written agreement authorizes PHI processing;
- you use only the approved environment, endpoints, integrations, and workflows;
- required technical, administrative, and contractual safeguards are in place; and
- you have a lawful basis and all necessary authorizations to process the PHI.
Execution of an enterprise, API, subscription, or commercial agreement alone does not make the Services or any particular environment suitable for PHI.
You must not use sandbox, preview, beta, evaluation, testing, or development environments to process production personal information, PHI, confidential third-party information, or regulated data unless MedQuiry expressly authorizes that environment for the applicable data.
12. SECURITY AND PLATFORM INTEGRITY
You must not:
- attempt unauthorized access to the Services, accounts, systems, networks, data, reports, projects, credentials, or infrastructure;
- probe, scan, test, or exploit vulnerabilities without MedQuiry's prior written authorization;
- conduct penetration testing, security testing, red-team testing, or adversarial testing without authorization;
- bypass, disable, interfere with, or circumvent authentication, authorization, access-control, entitlement, billing, security, monitoring, logging, or fraud-prevention mechanisms;
- introduce malware, ransomware, spyware, viruses, worms, logic bombs, malicious code, destructive instructions, or harmful payloads;
- conduct or facilitate denial-of-service, distributed denial-of-service, resource-exhaustion, amplification, flooding, or similar attacks;
- interfere with, overload, degrade, impair, or disrupt the Services or another user's access;
- access data or resources outside your authorized scope;
- intercept, modify, replay, forge, or improperly redirect communications, API requests, webhook events, tokens, signatures, or responses;
- conceal or falsify the origin of requests;
- tamper with logs, usage records, provenance data, metering events, audit records, or security evidence;
- attempt to defeat malware scanning, file validation, content controls, or abuse-detection systems;
- use compromised systems, botnets, anonymization infrastructure, rotating addresses, or distributed accounts to conceal abuse or avoid enforcement; or
- knowingly maintain an integration or deployment that creates a material security risk to the Services or another person.
You must promptly remediate security risks identified by MedQuiry as a condition of continued access.
13. AUTOMATED ACCESS, SCRAPING, AND AGENTS

MedQuiry may reject, throttle, delay, queue, restrict, or suspend API requests that exceed limits or threaten the security, reliability, integrity, availability, performance, or cost structure of the Services.
15. PROTECTION OF MEDQUIRY TECHNOLOGY
"MedQuiry Technology" includes the Services and their underlying software, source code, object code, models, workflows, prompts, rubrics, weights, journal-scoring logic, orchestration, validation rules, methods, interfaces, designs, Documentation, taxonomies, algorithms, databases, report formats, and related improvements.
You must not:
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decode, translate, or attempt to derive source code;
- discover, extract, reproduce, or infer system prompts, hidden instructions, rubrics, weights, scoring logic, validation rules, taxonomies, model configurations, or nonpublic methods;
- use repeated querying, synthetic inputs, adversarial inputs, controlled variations, benchmarking, statistical analysis, or other techniques to reconstruct system behavior;
- create datasets intended to replicate, approximate, or substitute for MedQuiry's scoring methodology;
- copy, reproduce, modify, or create derivative versions of MedQuiry's analytical framework;
- remove, obscure, modify, or falsify copyright notices, trademarks, attributions, identifiers, disclaimers, provenance information, or version information;
- use the Services or Results to develop, train, fine-tune, validate, benchmark, or improve a competing product, scoring system, model, dataset, or service without MedQuiry's prior written consent;
- publish benchmarks designed to disclose or infer confidential or proprietary system behavior without authorization;
- use the Services to create a product or service that substantially replicates, substitutes for, or competes with MedQuiry, except as expressly authorized;

MedQuiry's failure to enforce any provision of this Policy does not waive its right to enforce that provision or another provision later.
A waiver is effective only if made in writing by an authorized representative of MedQuiry.
24. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Policy is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
25. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
