Aggregated Data

We may create anonymized, aggregated statistics about Service usage that cannot identify you or your data. We may use this aggregated data for any purpose, including improving our services.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, algorithms, user interface, documentation, and branding, is owned by Cardiomics, Inc. and protected by intellectual property laws.

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method at the applicable rate.

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can cancel anytime through your account settings.

Price Changes

We may change prices with 30 days' notice. Price changes take effect at your next renewal. If you don't agree to a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

Refunds

We generally do not provide refunds for partial subscription periods. However, if you're unsatisfied with the Service, contact us within 14 days of your initial purchase and we'll work with you on a resolution.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
• We are not liable for loss of data, profits, revenue, or business opportunities
• Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, or otherwise) and even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

• Your use of the Service

12. Termination

By You

You may terminate your account at any time through your account settings. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately.

By Us

We may suspend or terminate your access if:

• You violate these Terms
• We're required to by law
• Your account has been inactive for an extended period
• Continuing to provide service creates unreasonable risk or burden

We'll provide notice before termination when reasonably possible.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, you may export your data for 30 days. After that period, we may delete your data. Sections that by their nature should survive (Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification) will survive termination.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. When we make material changes:

• We'll post the updated Terms on this page
• We'll update the "Last Updated" date
• We'll notify you via email or in-app notification for significant changes

Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. If you don't agree to changes, you should stop using the Service.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Pima County, Arizona.

For users outside the United States, you consent to jurisdiction in Arizona courts, though this does not affect any mandatory consumer protection rights in your jurisdiction.
