Terms of Use

Effective November 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of bedsiderounds.com and every page, workup, calculator, AI feature and other content or service on it (together, the "Site"), operated by Bedside Rounds ("we", "us" or "our"). By accessing or using the Site in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

2. Educational use only; not medical advice

• The Site is intended for the education of medical students, resident physicians and other healthcare learners. It is not intended for patients or the public, and it is not a medical device.
• Nothing on the Site is medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or a substitute for the independent professional judgment of a licensed clinician who has assessed the patient.
• Use of the Site does not create a physician–patient, professional, fiduciary or any other relationship between you (or any patient) and us or any contributor.
• Drug doses, conversion factors, scores and thresholds are general reference points. They may not apply to a particular patient, may differ between sources and institutions, and change over time. Always confirm doses with the product labeling, a pharmacist and your local protocols.
• Do not use the Site in an emergency. If a patient may be in danger, follow your institution's emergency procedures or call 911.

3. AI-generated content

Some content is generated automatically by third-party artificial intelligence models. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, biased or fabricated, including references, doses and recommendations that sound authoritative. AI output is not reviewed by a clinician before it is shown to you. You use it entirely at your own risk and must independently verify it.

4. Your responsibilities

• No patient identifiers. Do not enter protected health information or any information that could identify a patient or another person (for example names, dates of birth, record numbers, addresses, phone numbers or exact dates). You are solely responsible for complying with HIPAA, your institution's policies and all other privacy laws that apply to you.
• You are solely responsible for every clinical decision you make and for the supervision and scope-of-practice rules that apply to you.
• You will not use the Site for any unlawful purpose; attempt to gain unauthorized access to it; overload, scrape, reverse-engineer or disrupt it; use automated means to send requests to its AI features; or use it to build a competing product.

5. Privacy and your inputs

The Site does not require an account. Text you enter into the workup builder is sent to our server and to third-party AI providers to generate a response, and responses may be stored temporarily to serve repeat requests faster. We use privacy-friendly analytics to count page views. Do not enter anything you would not want processed by those providers. We may use anonymous, aggregated usage information to operate and improve the Site.

6. Intellectual property

The Site's design, text, code and original content are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. You may view and print content for your own personal, non-commercial education. You may not copy, republish, sell or create derivative works from the Site without our written permission. Cited guidelines, articles and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

7. Third-party links and services

The Site links to journals, guidelines and other third-party websites and relies on third-party services such as hosting and AI providers. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy or practices. Access to any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to its terms.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and all content are provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we expressly disclaim all warranties, express, implied or statutory, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors, viruses or harmful components. No advice or information obtained from the Site creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Bedside Rounds, its owners, operators, contributors, reviewers, affiliates, licensors or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any personal injury, death, harm to any patient, medical or professional liability, loss of data, profits, revenue or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Site, its content or these Terms, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or any other theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will not exceed fifty U.S. dollars (US $50). These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of them may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest extent the law allows.

10. Assumption of risk and release

You understand that clinical information is complex and that errors on the Site are possible. You voluntarily assume all risks of using the Site and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, release Bedside Rounds and the persons listed in section 9 from all claims, demands and damages of every kind, known or unknown, arising out of or related to your use of the Site.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bedside Rounds and the persons listed in section 9 from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to (a) your use or misuse of the Site, (b) any clinical decision or care provided by you or anyone relying on you, (c) any information you enter into the Site, or (d) your violation of these Terms or of any law or the rights of any third party.

12. Changes and termination

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice or liability. We may update these Terms by posting a new version on this page with a new effective date; continued use of the Site after that means you accept the updated Terms. We may restrict or end your access at any time for any reason.

13. Dispute resolution and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by emailing support@bedsiderounds.com and allowing 60 days for a response.

Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action, class arbitration or representative proceeding. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing us within 30 days of first using the Site. If arbitration does not apply or this section is found unenforceable, any claim must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by law.

14. General

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them without restriction. Sections 2, 3 and 6 to 14 survive any termination of your use of the Site.
