3.2 AI-Assisted Analysis

The Services use proprietary software, artificial intelligence models, machine learning systems, algorithmic processes, and related technologies to generate assessments.

The methodologies used by MedQuiry are proprietary and are designed to evaluate characteristics of research methodology rather than the truth, validity, or clinical correctness of a study's conclusions.

Certain assessments may incorporate automated reasoning, statistical evaluation, structured decision frameworks, natural language processing, or other computational techniques.

Because artificial intelligence technologies continue to evolve, outputs may occasionally contain inaccuracies, omissions, or errors.

Users remain responsible for independently reviewing any publication before relying upon any assessment.

3.3 What MedQuiry Evaluates

Unless expressly stated otherwise, MedQuiry evaluates characteristics including, but not limited to:

• study design;
• methodological rigor;
• risk of bias;
• statistical methodology;
• reporting quality;
• transparency;
• conflict of interest disclosures;
• reproducibility indicators;
• journal quality indicators;
• and other methodological criteria determined by MedQuiry.

The Services do not determine whether a study's conclusions are medically correct.

3.4 Scores Are Opinions Generated by the Platform

Any numerical score, categorical rating, confidence assessment, methodological evaluation, summary, explanation, or recommendation produced by the Services represents MedQuiry's proprietary analytical assessment based upon the information available at the time of analysis.

These outputs are opinions generated by the platform and should not be interpreted as statements of objective fact or guarantees regarding the quality, reliability, validity, safety, effectiveness, or clinical usefulness of any research study.

Different experts, institutions, journals, or analytical systems may reasonably reach different conclusions regarding the same study.

• summaries of published studies;
• explanations of scoring decisions;
• descriptions of methodological strengths and weaknesses;
• comparisons between studies;
• confidence assessments;
• and other Analytical Outputs.

These outputs are generated through automated processes and should be considered analytical assistance rather than definitive determinations.

5.3 AI May Produce Errors

Artificial intelligence systems may generate inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, misleading, or outdated information.

Examples include, without limitation:

• misunderstanding study language;
• failing to recognize contextual nuances;
• overlooking methodological details;
• incorrectly interpreting statistical analyses;
• generating incomplete summaries;
• assigning inappropriate weights to certain study characteristics;
• or producing outputs inconsistent with reasonable expert opinion.

Accordingly, users should independently review the underlying study before relying on any output generated by the Services.

5.4 No Guarantee of Consistency

AI systems may produce different outputs when analyzing the same study under different circumstances, including as a result of:

• software updates;
• improvements to analytical models;
• changes in training data;
• revisions to scoring methodologies;
• enhancements to algorithms;
• or other technological developments.

Accordingly, MedQuiry does not guarantee that repeated analyses of the same study will always produce identical results.

• appropriate attribution to MedQuiry is provided whenever a MedQuiry Score or Analytical Output is publicly referenced; and
• the reference does not imply that MedQuiry endorses the publication, author, institution, or conclusions.

MedQuiry reserves the right to publish reasonable citation guidelines governing public references to its scoring system.

8.10 No Comparative Advertising Without Permission

Except as permitted by applicable law, users may not use MedQuiry Scores, trademarks, logos, or Analytical Outputs in advertising, promotional materials, or commercial comparisons in a manner that suggests MedQuiry endorses, certifies, sponsors, or recommends any product, service, organization, or publication without MedQuiry's prior written consent.

8.11 Academic Freedom

Nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict legitimate scholarly discussion, criticism, academic debate, or fair commentary regarding MedQuiry analyses, provided that such discussion does not falsely represent MedQuiry's methodology or misattribute altered or fabricated outputs to MedQuiry.

8.12 Proprietary Methodology

The analytical methodology underlying MedQuiry Scores—including evaluation criteria, weighting systems, decision processes, algorithms, scoring logic, and implementation techniques—is proprietary and confidential.

Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or applicable law, users may not reproduce, disclose, reverse engineer, or create derivative systems based upon MedQuiry's methodology.

• suspend access to paid Services;
• revoke associated tokens or credits;
• recover reasonable collection costs where permitted by law; and
• pursue any other available legal remedies.

9.12 Enterprise Agreements

Enterprise customers may purchase Services pursuant to separate written agreements.

To the extent a separately negotiated enterprise agreement conflicts with these Terms regarding pricing, billing, service levels, or licensing, the enterprise agreement shall control with respect to those matters.

All other provisions of these Terms remain applicable unless expressly superseded.

Enterprise Agreements may establish different billing models, usage rights, credit structures, or payment arrangements.

9.13 Third-Party Payment Processors

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.

MedQuiry does not store complete payment card information unless expressly disclosed.

Your use of third-party payment services is subject to the applicable payment processor's terms and privacy policies.

9.16 No Investment or Financial Rights

Payment for Services does not confer any ownership interest in MedQuiry, its intellectual property, its scoring methodologies, its software, or any future products or services.

Users acquire only the limited right to access the Services in accordance with these Terms.

The Services may reference, display, or interact with third-party studies, trademarks, copyrighted materials, databases, journals, or other intellectual property.

10.13 Survival

The intellectual property protections contained in this Article survive termination of these Terms and any user's access to the Services.

ARTICLE 11 — USER CONTENT AND SUBMITTED MATERIALS

11.1 User Content

The Services may permit you to upload, submit, transmit, enter, or otherwise provide materials, including but not limited to:

• research studies;
• PDF files;
• Digital Object Identifiers ("DOIs");
• PubMed Identifiers ("PMIDs");
• citations;
• manuscripts;
• comments;
• correspondence;
• feedback;
• data;
• text; and
• other materials (collectively, "User Content").

You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights you possess in your User Content, subject to the rights granted to MedQuiry under these Terms.

11.2 License to MedQuiry

To enable MedQuiry to provide the Services, you grant MedQuiry a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to receive, host, store, reproduce, process, analyze, transmit, and otherwise use your User Content only as reasonably necessary to: (a) perform analyses you request; (b) store and make uploaded study PDFs available to you in your Personal Locker; (c) provide customer support at your request; (d) protect the security and integrity of the Services; (e) comply with applicable law and legal process; and (f) enforce these Terms. This purpose-limited license does not transfer ownership of your User Content to MedQuiry and does not authorize MedQuiry to use uploaded studies for its own independent research, model training, product development, benchmarking, dataset creation, licensing, commercialization, or other purposes unrelated to providing the Services to you.

11.3 Your Representations

You represent and warrant that:

• you own or control the rights necessary to submit the User Content;
• submission of the User Content does not violate any law;
• submission of the User Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party;
• submission does not violate any contractual obligation;
• submission does not breach any confidentiality obligation applicable to you; and
• you have obtained any necessary permissions required for your use of the Services.

11.4 Responsibility for Submitted Content

You remain solely responsible for all User Content that you submit.

MedQuiry does not assume responsibility for verifying:

• ownership;
• authenticity;
• legality;
• scientific accuracy;
• completeness;
• publication status; or
• copyright status

of User Content submitted by users.

11.5 Publicly Available Publications

Many analyses performed by the Services involve published scientific literature that is publicly available through publishers, journals, governmental databases, or other authorized sources.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any publication to MedQuiry.

Copyright and other intellectual property rights in published works remain with their respective owners.

11.6 Processing and Retention of Submitted Studies

When you upload a PDF of a study for scoring, MedQuiry will process the study as necessary to generate the MedQuiry Score and other Analytical Outputs you request. The uploaded PDF will be retained and automatically stored in the Personal Locker associated with your account so that it remains available to you through the Services.

MedQuiry will not use the content of a study stored in your Personal Locker for its own independent purposes, including to train or fine-tune artificial intelligence models, conduct independent research or product development, benchmark models or methodologies, create commercial datasets, license the study or its contents, or perform analyses not requested or authorized by you. MedQuiry may access, process, copy, or transmit a stored study only as reasonably necessary to provide requested scoring or other user-initiated functionality, operate and secure the Personal Locker and the Services, provide support at your request, investigate fraud or security incidents, comply with applicable law or legal process, or enforce these Terms. Text extracted from an uploaded study may be processed as necessary to provide the requested analysis; unless otherwise disclosed in the Privacy Notice, extracted full text is not retained as a separate permanent copy after processing. Temporary technical copies may exist in caches, backups, disaster-recovery systems, or security records in accordance with MedQuiry's operational practices. Storage and processing do not transfer ownership of the underlying study, and users retain all rights they possess in submitted studies.

11.7 Removal of User Content

Subject to applicable law, MedQuiry may remove, disable access to, or refuse to process User Content that:

• violates these Terms;
• infringes intellectual property rights;
• appears unlawful;
• threatens the security or integrity of the Services;
• or otherwise presents legal or operational risk to MedQuiry.

If User Content, including a study stored in a Personal Locker, is removed under this Section, MedQuiry has no obligation to restore it except as required by applicable law or an applicable written agreement.

11.8 No Obligation to Review

MedQuiry has no obligation to review User Content before or after submission.

The fact that User Content is accepted or processed by the Services does not constitute approval, endorsement, verification, or certification by MedQuiry.

11.9 User Feedback

Suggestions, comments, ideas, corrections, enhancement requests, and other feedback voluntarily submitted regarding the Services are governed by Section 10.10 (Feedback License).

Nothing in this Article limits MedQuiry's rights regarding such Feedback.

11.10 Data Security

MedQuiry employs commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect User Content, including study PDFs stored in Personal Lockers, from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no internet-based system or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, MedQuiry cannot guarantee absolute security.

11.11 Confidential Information

Users should not upload information that they are not legally authorized to disclose.

Study PDFs stored in a Personal Locker remain subject to the security and privacy protections described in these Terms and the Privacy Notice. Storage of an uploaded study does not grant MedQuiry any right to use the study beyond the limited purposes stated in Section 11.2 and Section 11.6. Unless expressly agreed in writing under a separate confidentiality or enterprise agreement, MedQuiry does not assume confidentiality obligations beyond those described in these Terms and the Privacy Notice.

Users remain responsible for complying with any confidentiality obligations applicable to them.

11.12 Research Integrity

Users agree not to use the Services in a manner intended to:

• fabricate research;
• manipulate scientific findings;
• falsify studies;
• misrepresent study quality;
• deceive journals;
• mislead funding agencies;
• mislead regulatory authorities; or
• otherwise undermine scientific integrity.

MedQuiry reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts engaged in such conduct.

11.13 Survival

The licenses granted in this Article survive only for so long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain required business records, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, or enforce these Terms.

ARTICLE 12 — API ACCESS AND ENTERPRISE SERVICES

12.1 Enterprise Services

• obtaining necessary permissions; and
• ensuring appropriate internal governance regarding use of the Services.

12.7 Availability

Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, MedQuiry does not guarantee any minimum level of:

• uptime;
• availability;
• processing speed;
• response time;
• throughput;
• latency; or
• support services.

Service level commitments, if any, shall be governed exclusively by an applicable enterprise agreement.

12.8 Modifications

MedQuiry may update, modify, replace, or discontinue APIs, endpoints, authentication methods, documentation, or supported functionality.

Where commercially reasonable, MedQuiry will endeavor to provide advance notice of material changes affecting production API integrations.

12.9 Prohibited API Uses

Enterprise customers shall not use the API to:

• violate applicable law;
• exceed authorized usage limits;
• circumvent billing mechanisms;
• probe or test system vulnerabilities without authorization;
• create competing services that substantially replicate MedQuiry;
• interfere with platform stability; or
• access data beyond the scope of authorized permissions.

Customers may not use the API to scrape, harvest, systematically reproduce, redistribute, resell, sublicense, commercialize, or create competitive repositories of MedQuiry Scores or Analytical Outputs; emulate undocumented APIs; expose credentials to unauthorized parties; or use outputs to reconstruct MedQuiry methodologies or train a competing system.

12.10 Separate Enterprise Agreements

Enterprise customers may enter into separately negotiated agreements governing:

• pricing;
• service levels;
• support;
• security;
• data processing;
• compliance;
• licensing;

In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a separately executed enterprise agreement, the enterprise agreement shall govern with respect to the specific subject matter addressed therein.

12.11 Suspension

MedQuiry may suspend API access or Enterprise Services if necessary to:

• protect platform security;
• investigate misuse;
• respond to legal obligations;
• address nonpayment;
• prevent excessive resource consumption; or
• maintain the integrity of the Services.

Whenever reasonably practicable, MedQuiry will endeavor to provide advance notice before suspending Enterprise Services, except where immediate action is reasonably necessary.

12.12 No Implied License

Except for the limited rights expressly granted under these Terms or a separate written agreement, no license is granted to use MedQuiry technology, software, APIs, intellectual property, trademarks, or proprietary methodologies.

12.13 Future Enterprise Offerings

MedQuiry may introduce additional enterprise products, licensing models, integrations, developer tools, reporting capabilities, artificial intelligence services, or other commercial offerings from time to time.

Nothing in these Terms obligates MedQuiry to continue offering any particular enterprise feature.

ARTICLE 13 — COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMPLAINTS

13.1 Respect for Intellectual Property

MedQuiry respects the intellectual property rights of authors, publishers, researchers, copyright owners, and other rights holders.

Users are likewise required to respect those rights when accessing or using the Services.

You may submit, upload, store, transmit, or direct MedQuiry to retrieve or process only material that you are legally authorized to use in connection with the Services.

Nothing in this Section limits MedQuiry's right to suspend or terminate an account following a single incident when the conduct independently warrants suspension or termination. Nothing in these Terms or MedQuiry's Copyright and DMCA Policy is intended to limit lawful fair use, licensed use, public-domain use, or other rights or uses permitted by applicable law.

13.2 Copyright and DMCA Policy

MedQuiry maintains a separate Copyright and DMCA Policy, which describes MedQuiry's procedures for:

• notifications of claimed copyright infringement;
• identification and location of allegedly infringing material;
• removal or disabling of access to material;
• notifications to affected users;
• counter-notifications;
• restoration of material where applicable;
• repeat infringers;
• designated-agent information; and
• other copyright and intellectual property complaints.

The Copyright and DMCA Policy is incorporated by reference into these Terms and forms part of the Agreement governing your use of the Services.

In the event of a conflict between this Article and the Copyright and DMCA Policy concerning the procedures applicable to a copyright notification or counter-notification, the Copyright and DMCA Policy will control to the extent of the conflict, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

13.3 Notifications of Claimed Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner and believe that material residing on or accessible through the Services infringes an exclusive right under copyright law, you may submit a notification of claimed infringement to MedQuiry's designated Copyright Agent in accordance with the Copyright and DMCA Policy.

A notification intended to constitute a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA"), must substantially satisfy the requirements of applicable law and the Copyright and DMCA Policy.

Because material processed through MedQuiry may be stored privately in a Personal Locker, enterprise account, project, repository, or similar functionality rather than displayed on a publicly accessible webpage, a complaining party should provide information reasonably sufficient to permit MedQuiry to identify and locate the material at issue.

13.4 Response to Copyright Complaints

Upon receiving a legally sufficient notification of claimed infringement, MedQuiry may investigate the matter and take actions permitted or required by applicable law and the Copyright and DMCA Policy.

Where applicable under the DMCA, MedQuiry will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to material upon obtaining the notice or knowledge requiring such action under applicable law.

MedQuiry may also:

• request additional information from the complaining party;
• notify the user or customer that submitted or stored the material;
• quarantine, remove, or disable access to material;
• preserve records as reasonably necessary for legal, security, or evidentiary purposes;
• restrict, suspend, or terminate an account;
• process a counter-notification; or
• take other action permitted or required by applicable law or the Agreement.

Removal or disabling of material does not constitute a determination by MedQuiry that copyright infringement has occurred.

Likewise, acceptance, storage, processing, scoring, or retention of material does not constitute a determination that the material or its use is authorized or non-infringing.

MedQuiry is not a court and does not undertake to adjudicate disputes concerning copyright ownership, licensing, fair use, authorship, contractual rights, or other defenses.

13.5 Counter-Notifications

If material that you submitted was removed or access to it was disabled as a result of a DMCA notification and you believe the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to MedQuiry's designated Copyright Agent in accordance with the Copyright and DMCA Policy and applicable law.

Where 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) applies, MedQuiry may provide the counter-notification to the complaining party and may restore the material or cease disabling access to it in accordance with the timing and procedures required by applicable law.

Nothing in this Section requires MedQuiry to restore material that MedQuiry has an independent lawful or contractual basis to remove, restrict, quarantine, or refuse to retain under these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, another applicable Agreement, or applicable law.

13.6 Repeat Infringers

MedQuiry has adopted a policy providing for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users, subscribers, customers, or account holders who are repeat infringers.

MedQuiry may suspend, restrict, or terminate an account or access to the Services when MedQuiry reasonably determines, based on the facts and circumstances, that a user or account holder has repeatedly infringed copyrights or other intellectual property rights.

MedQuiry will administer its repeat-infringer policy in accordance with the Copyright and DMCA Policy and applicable law.

13.7 Misrepresentations

Copyright complaints and counter-notifications must be submitted in good faith.

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may result in liability under applicable law, including 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

MedQuiry reserves all rights and remedies concerning fraudulent, abusive, deceptive, or knowingly false copyright complaints or counter-notifications.

13.8 Other Intellectual Property Complaints

Complaints concerning intellectual property or proprietary rights other than copyright, including trademarks, trade secrets, database rights, rights of publicity, contractual restrictions, or similar claims, may be submitted in accordance with the Copyright and DMCA Policy.

The DMCA notice-and-counter-notice procedures apply only where provided by applicable law and do not create DMCA rights or obligations for claims that fall outside the statute.

13.9 Reservation of Rights

Nothing in this Article or the Copyright and DMCA Policy limits MedQuiry's right to:

• remove, disable access to, quarantine, reject, or refuse to process or retain material as permitted by the Agreement or applicable law;
• comply with court orders, subpoenas, governmental requests, or other legal process;
• preserve evidence;
• cooperate with governmental authorities;
• protect MedQuiry's own intellectual property;
• investigate fraud, misuse, security incidents, or violations of the Agreement;
• enforce the Acceptable Use Policy or other applicable agreements;
• defend legal claims; or
• exercise any other right or remedy available under applicable law.

Nothing in this Article transfers ownership of any third-party publication to MedQuiry or expands MedQuiry's rights in User Content beyond the limited rights expressly granted under these Terms or another applicable Agreement.

ARTICLE 14 — DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES

14.1 Services Provided "AS IS"

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Services, MedQuiry Scores, Analytical Outputs, APIs, reports, summaries, visualizations, and related materials are provided on an "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," and "WITH ALL FAULTS" basis.

• any analytical output is complete;
• summaries are free from error;
• evaluations reflect the latest scientific evidence;
• analyses will satisfy your particular needs;
• or any output will be accepted by journals, regulators, institutions, courts, or healthcare organizations.

Scientific knowledge continually evolves, and reasonable experts may disagree regarding research methodology or interpretation.

MedQuiry does not warrant completeness, timeliness, regulatory suitability, clinical suitability, or fitness for any particular research, academic, commercial, regulatory, or professional purpose.

• free from viruses or malicious code;
• compatible with every device or software environment; or
• immune from outages caused by third parties.

Scheduled maintenance, upgrades, and unforeseen interruptions may temporarily affect availability.

Because the Services incorporate artificial intelligence and automated analytical processes, MedQuiry does not warrant that AI-generated outputs will always be:

• accurate;
• consistent;
• complete;
• explainable;
• or free from hallucinations or computational errors.

Users are responsible for independently reviewing any publication before relying upon any output generated by the Services.

14.5 Professional Judgment

The Services are intended to supplement—not replace—the judgment of qualified professionals.

MedQuiry disclaims any warranty that use of the Services will produce appropriate clinical, scientific, academic, legal, regulatory, or business decisions.

14.6 Third-Party Content

The Services may include or rely upon information from third-party studies, publishers, DOI registries, PubMed, indexing services, databases, journals, websites, APIs, or other external resources.

MedQuiry does not control such third-party resources and makes no warranty regarding their:

• availability;
• accuracy;
• completeness;
• reliability;
• legality; or
• continued accessibility.

14.7 Implied Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, MedQuiry expressly disclaims all implied warranties, including any implied warranties of:

• title;
• non-infringement; and
• quiet enjoyment.

Where certain implied warranties cannot lawfully be excluded, they are limited to the minimum extent permitted by applicable law.

14.8 Jurisdictional Limitations

Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties.

Accordingly, portions of this Article may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

In such jurisdictions, MedQuiry's warranties are limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14.9 No Oral Warranties

No employee, representative, reseller, distributor, consultant, advisor, or other person is authorized to make warranties on behalf of MedQuiry unless expressly contained in a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of MedQuiry.

Users should not rely upon statements outside these Terms as creating additional warranties.

14.10 Entire Warranty Disclaimer

The warranty disclaimers contained in these Terms constitute an essential part of the agreement between MedQuiry and its users.

The pricing, licensing, and availability of the Services reflect the allocation of risk established by these disclaimers.

ARTICLE 15 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

15.1 Allocation of Risk

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MedQuiry and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, advisors, licensors, suppliers, successors, assigns, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms.

(a) the total amount actually paid by the User to MedQuiry for the applicable Services during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or

(b) one hundred United States dollars (US $100.00).

Where a separately executed Enterprise Agreement expressly provides a different limitation of liability, that Enterprise Agreement shall control solely with respect to the parties and claims governed by that agreement.

15.4 No Liability for User Decisions

MedQuiry shall not be responsible for decisions made by users based in whole or in part upon:

• MedQuiry Scores;
• AI-generated analyses;

• APIs;
• or other third-party services integrated with or accessible through the Services.

15.7 Security Events

Although MedQuiry employs commercially reasonable security measures, no electronic system can be completely secure.

Accordingly, portions of this Article may not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

ARTICLE 16 — INDEMNIFICATION

16.1 User Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MedQuiry, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, advisors, successors, assigns, and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, investigations, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, arising out of or relating to:

(a) your use of or access to the Services;

(b) your violation of these Terms;

(c) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or the rights of any third party;

(d) any User Content or other material that you submit, upload, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Services;

(e) your misuse of any MedQuiry Score, AI-generated analysis, summary, recommendation, or other output generated by the Services;

(f) any medical, scientific, academic, business, regulatory, or commercial decision that you make based in whole or in part upon the Services;

(g) your infringement or alleged infringement of any intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including your submission of materials without necessary permissions;

(h) your unauthorized sale, licensing, sublicensing, redistribution, commercialization, monetization, or creation of competitive repositories involving MedQuiry Scores or Analytical Outputs; or

(i) your fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or other unlawful acts or omissions.

16.2 Defense of Claims

MedQuiry reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you.

If MedQuiry elects to do so, you agree to cooperate fully in the defense of the matter and to provide reasonable assistance, information, and documentation as requested.

You may not settle any claim that imposes liability, obligations, or admissions upon an Indemnified Party without MedQuiry's prior written consent.

16.3 Enterprise Customers

Nothing in these Terms limits the parties' ability to negotiate different indemnification obligations in a separately executed Enterprise Agreement.

Where an Enterprise Agreement expressly provides alternative indemnification provisions, those provisions shall govern solely with respect to the parties and claims covered by that agreement.

16.4 Limitation

This Article does not require you to indemnify an Indemnified Party for losses resulting solely from that party's own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud to the extent such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

16.5 Survival

The obligations contained in this Article survive the suspension or termination of your account, your use of the Services, and these Terms.

ARTICLE 17 — GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION

17.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.

17.2 Informal Resolution

Before commencing arbitration or litigation, the parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve any dispute informally.

A party seeking to initiate a dispute shall provide written notice describing:

• the nature of the dispute;
• the factual basis for the claim;
• the relief requested; and
• sufficient information to permit meaningful review.

The parties shall attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith discussions for at least thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice.

Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking a temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, or other emergency equitable relief where reasonably necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, trade secrets, platform security, or to prevent immediate and irreparable harm.

17.3 Agreement to Arbitrate

Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration, rather than in court.

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or Consumer Arbitration Rules, as appropriate.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator experienced in commercial and technology-related disputes.

Unless the parties agree otherwise, the seat of arbitration shall be New Jersey, and the proceedings shall be conducted in the English language.

The arbitrator shall have authority to award any remedy available under applicable law, subject to the limitations contained in these Terms.

17.4 Exceptions

The agreement to arbitrate does not apply to:

(a) actions seeking temporary or permanent injunctive relief relating to intellectual property rights, confidential information, trade secrets, or unauthorized access to the Services;

(b) claims that applicable law does not permit to be resolved through arbitration; or

(c) disputes that qualify for resolution in a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable small claims procedures.

17.5 Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all claims shall be brought solely on an individual basis.

Neither party shall participate as a plaintiff, claimant, class representative, or class member in any class action, consolidated action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.

The arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding unless applicable law expressly requires otherwise.

17.6 Jury Trial Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, except to the extent such waiver is prohibited by applicable law.

17.7 Venue for Non-Arbitrable Matters

If a dispute is determined not to be subject to arbitration, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any portion of this Article is unenforceable, the parties agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, and each party irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

17.8 Time Limitation

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim arose or reasonably should have been discovered.

Claims not commenced within that period are permanently barred, except where a longer limitations period cannot lawfully be shortened.

17.9 Severability of Arbitration Provisions

If any provision of this Article is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

If the class action waiver in Section 17.5 is determined to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim, that claim shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction rather than through class arbitration, unless applicable law requires a different result.

17.10 Survival

This Article survives termination of these Terms and the cessation of your use of the Services.

ARTICLE 18 — GENERAL PROVISIONS

18.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice, any incorporated policies or guidelines, and any separately executed Enterprise Agreement (where applicable), constitute the entire agreement between you and MedQuiry concerning the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, proposals, and agreements relating to the same subject matter.

18.2 Modifications to the Terms

MedQuiry may modify these Terms from time to time.

Material changes will become effective after reasonable notice is provided through the Services, by email (where appropriate), or by other reasonable means.

Notices sent by email to the address associated with your account will be effective when sent, except where applicable law requires a different method or timing.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Services.

18.3 Electronic Communications

By using the Services, you consent to receive communications from MedQuiry electronically, including notices, disclosures, invoices, security notifications, and other communications relating to your account or the Services.

Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

18.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without MedQuiry's prior written consent.

MedQuiry may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, corporate reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Subject to the foregoing, these Terms are binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

18.5 No Waiver

No failure or delay by MedQuiry in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.

Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of MedQuiry.

A waiver of one breach shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

18.6 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

18.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly provided in these Terms, these Terms are solely for the benefit of the parties and do not confer any rights upon any third party.

18.8 Independent Relationship

Nothing contained in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, fiduciary, or similar relationship between you and MedQuiry.

18.9 Force Majeure

MedQuiry shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, war, terrorism, labor disputes, widespread internet or telecommunications failures, utility outages, cloud service outages, AI provider outages, cyberattacks, public health emergencies, or other force majeure events.

18.10 Interpretation

The headings contained in these Terms are provided solely for convenience and shall not affect interpretation.

The words "including," "includes," and "such as" shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase "without limitation."

The singular includes the plural and vice versa where the context requires.

References to statutes include amendments and successor provisions.

18.11 Survival

Any provision that by its nature should survive termination of these Terms shall survive, including provisions relating to intellectual property, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, confidentiality, and any other provisions reasonably intended to survive.

18.12 Export Controls and Sanctions

You agree to comply with applicable export control, economic sanctions, and trade laws and not to use, export, re-export, transfer, or provide access to the Services in violation of such laws.

18.13 Electronic Signatures
