Terms of Service

Service Description

VACScore is an evidence scoring platform that evaluates medical devices across six domains using consensus-based AI analysis of publicly available regulatory and clinical evidence. Scores range from 350 to 850 and are designed to inform hospital procurement decisions.

Important Disclaimers

VACScore is NOT a medical device. Our platform is an informational tool and is not regulated as a medical device, in-vitro diagnostic, or Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) under any jurisdiction.

VACScore is NOT clinical decision support. Our scores are derived from public evidence and are intended to support procurement and supply chain decisions. They do not constitute clinical recommendations, medical advice, or guidance for patient care. Clinical decisions must always be made by qualified healthcare professionals using appropriate clinical judgment.

Evidence, not opinion. VACScore analyzes publicly available data from regulatory databases, peer-reviewed literature, and clinical registries. Scores reflect the quality and breadth of available evidence, not editorial judgment.

Acceptable Use

By using VACScore, you agree to:

• Use the platform only for lawful procurement, research, or informational purposes
• Not misrepresent VACScore outputs as regulatory approval, clinical validation, or medical advice
• Not attempt to reverse-engineer our scoring algorithms
• Not share account credentials with unauthorized parties
• Not use automated systems to scrape, mine, or extract data from the platform without written authorization

Intellectual Property

The VACScore platform, including its scoring methodology, software, algorithms, user interface, and documentation, is the intellectual property of VACScore. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our platform without prior written consent.

VACScore scores and reports generated for your organization may be used internally and shared with your stakeholders. Public redistribution of score data requires written authorization.

Data & Accuracy

VACScore draws on publicly available regulatory and clinical evidence sources. While we strive for accuracy and completeness, we do not guarantee that all relevant evidence for a given device has been identified or that evidence sources are free from error.

Scores are updated as new evidence becomes available. Historical scores represent a point-in-time assessment and may not reflect current evidence.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VACScore shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenue, arising from or related to your use of the platform.

VACScore’s total liability for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to VACScore in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to VACScore if you violate these Terms. You may close your account at any time by contacting us. Upon termination, your right to use the platform ceases immediately, but provisions that by their nature should survive will remain in effect.

Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
