7. Not a Law Firm / No Legal Advice
HW App is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or engage in the practice of law in any country or jurisdiction. Access to or use of this Service does not create or constitute an attorney-client relationship between you and HW App or its owners or employees. HW App has not provided, nor will it provide at any time in the future, legal advice to you regarding or in conjunction with the information provided on this Service or with respect to any legal claim.
8. Data Sources & Accuracy
All drug, patent, exclusivity, litigation, pricing, and regulatory data displayed on this platform is sourced from publicly available U.S. government databases and other public records. While we strive for accuracy, data may be delayed, incomplete, or contain errors originating from the source databases.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any data or Content. Calculated loss-of-exclusivity dates, patent expiration timelines, and other derived analyses are estimates based on available data and should not be treated as definitive.
9. No Reliance
You acknowledge and agree that you should not rely on the Service or any Content for legal, medical, investment, regulatory, or business decisions without independent verification by qualified professionals.
The Service is provided for informational and research purposes only. Patent expiration dates, exclusivity periods, regulatory status, litigation outcomes, drug pricing, and all other data should be independently verified before making any business, legal, clinical, or investment decisions.
10. AI-Generated Content
Certain summaries, analyses, and descriptions within the Service are generated using artificial intelligence models. AI-Generated Content is provided for convenience only and may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or errors. AI-Generated Content should not be relied upon as authoritative descriptions of regulatory changes, legal proceedings, or clinical data.
You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any AI-Generated Content before acting on it. Where available, links to original source documents are provided alongside AI-Generated Content to facilitate verification.
11. Email Alerts & Notifications
By enabling email alerts or webhook integrations, you consent to receive automated notifications about changes to watched drugs, patents, companies, and applications. You may disable alerts at any time through your account settings.
Alert delivery is on a best-effort basis and may be delayed, incomplete, or interrupted. We are not liable for any failure to deliver alerts or for actions taken (or not taken) based on alert content.
12. Feedback & Suggestions
If you provide feedback, suggestions, ideas, or bug reports (“Feedback”) through the Service or any other channel, you grant HW App a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable license to use, modify, and incorporate that Feedback into the Service without any obligation or compensation to you. Feedback does not include your personal data, which is governed by our Privacy Policy.
13. Intellectual Property
The Service's design, code, user interface, original analyses, compiled datasets, and AI-generated summaries are the intellectual property of HW App and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
Underlying data from the FDA, USPTO, CMS, VA, and other government agencies is in the public domain. Our intellectual property rights apply to the aggregation, presentation, analysis, and value-added features we build on top of that data.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of the Service or its proprietary Content without our prior written consent.
14. Restrictions on Data Use
You may not use Content obtained from the Service to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise develop machine-learning models, neural networks, or artificial-intelligence systems without our express prior written consent. This restriction applies to both the proprietary analyses we produce and the curated datasets we assemble, but does not restrict your use of the underlying public-domain government data obtained directly from its original source.
15. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service and all Content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. HW App does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. HW App does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any data, Content, or AI-Generated Content provided through the Service. You use the Service at your own risk.
16. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall HW App, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of business opportunities, business interruption, or cost of procurement of substitute services, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if HW App LLC has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
HW App's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service shall not exceed one hundred dollars ($100).
You acknowledge that the data provided through the Service is sourced from third-party government databases and may contain errors. HW App shall not be liable for any damages arising from errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in such data.
17. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HW App, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any rights of a third party; or (d) any decision or action taken based on Content or data obtained from the Service.
18. Service Availability & Force Majeure
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice. We may impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts of the Service without notice or liability.
Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform obligations under these Terms to the extent caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government actions, changes to government database availability or format, internet or infrastructure outages, pandemics, or acts of war or terrorism (“Force Majeure Events”). Because the Service depends on data published by government agencies, changes to data availability, API access, or publication schedules by those agencies constitute Force Majeure Events.
19. Modifications to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email or through a prominent notice on the Service at least 15 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.
20. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware.
21. General Provisions
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its original intent.
- Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and HW App with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements.
- No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
