Last Updated: November 2, 2023
These Atropos Terms of Service (“Terms”) set out terms and conditions for you to access and use the websites, mobile applications, products, services, and other resources, including Atropos’s evidence platform (“GENEVA OS” or “Platform”) and the reports and other output it generates (“Evidence-Based Deliverables” or “Reports”) (collectively, the “Services”) provided by Atropos Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its affiliates (“Atropos”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. These Terms govern your use of the Services and create a binding legal agreement that we may enforce against you in the event of a violation. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, do not use the Services.
SECTION 18 OF THESE TERMS CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF CERTAIN DISPUTES.
Eligibility. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to use the Services. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least eighteen (18) years old, and (b) your registration and your use of the Services is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Account Registration. In order to use the Services you must register for an account (or permit Atropos to register an account on your behalf). Registration requires you to provide us with your name, email address, and in some cases your profession, specialty, and other information specified in the registration form (“Registration Information”), and to select a username and password that will be associated with your account. You agree that your Registration Information is true, accurate, current, and complete, and you will promptly update your Registration Information as necessary so that it continues to be true, accurate, current and complete. We may attempt to verify the accuracy of the Registration Information that you have provided and update it as necessary. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Atropos account username and password and you may not permit another person to use your username and password to access the Services. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you believe that the security of your account information has been compromised, you should immediately change your username and password through the account settings feature or notify us and we will assist you. We will have no liability for any unauthorized access to or use of your account information.
Role of Atropos and Disclaimer. You acknowledge that Atropos is not engaged in rendering medical, pharmacologic or health care advice or services and the professional duty to the patient in providing healthcare services lies solely with the applicable healthcare provider and/or medical facility (“Medical Facility”). Evidence-Based Deliverables are intended to be a supplement to, and not a substitute for the knowledge, expertise, skill, and judgment of the Medical Facility in patient care. They are in no way intended to serve as a diagnostic service or platform, to provide certainty with respect to a diagnosis, to recommend a particular product or therapy or to otherwise substitute for the clinical judgment of a qualified healthcare professional. Atropos does not assume any responsibility for the actions of any Medical Facility which may result in liability or damages due to malpractice, failure to warn, negligence, or any other basis.
If you are a consumer who chooses to access the professional-level information made available through the Services, you should not rely on that information as professional medical advice or use the Services as a replacement for any relationship with your physician or other qualified healthcare professional. For medical concerns, including decisions about medications and other treatments, consumers should always consult their physician or, in serious cases, seek immediate assistance from emergency medical personnel.

18. Dispute Resolution. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND ATROPOS TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM ATROPOS.
Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, YOU AND ATROPOS AGREE (A) TO WAIVE YOUR AND ATROPOS’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, OR THE SERVICES, RESOLVED IN A COURT, AND (B) TO WAIVE YOUR AND ATROPOS’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. Instead, you and Atropos agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the dispute decided by a judge or jury in court) conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the arbitration rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “AAA Rules”) and under the rules set forth in these Terms. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms will govern.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with the AAA Rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL.
You and Atropos agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
YOU AND ATROPOS EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY DISPUTES ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE, OR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
These Terms, and your access to and use of the Services shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved on an individual basis in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware and the United States, respectively, sitting in Newcastle County, Delaware.
All parts of these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Atropos and you both agree that if we cannot enforce a part of this contract as written, then that part will be replaced with terms that most closely match the intent of the part we cannot enforce, to the extent permitted by law. The invalidity of part of these Terms of Use will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The section headings are for convenience only and do not have any force or effect.
19. No Waiver. No waiver by Atropos of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by Atropos to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
20. Complete Agreement. Except as expressly provided in a particular “legal notice” on the website, these Terms (including the Atropos Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and Atropos with respect to your use (and prior use) of the Services.
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Atropos and you regarding the Atropos Evidence Platform, the Services and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Atropos and you regarding Atropos and the Services provided.
21. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. We may assign or transfer these Terms, at our sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Further, any of us may exercise the rights described in these Terms.
