Terms of Use

This summary is for convenience and is not part of the agreement — the numbered sections below are what you accept:

“TraceOrg”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the TraceOrg platform at traceorg.com, built and operated by an academic research team affiliated with Beyōnd Radiology, Inc. “You” means the individual or legal entity using the platform. The “Service” means the TraceOrg web application, its analysis workflows, and the reports and other outputs it generates.

These terms become binding when you check “I agree to the Terms of Use and Data & Privacy Statement” while creating an account, or when you otherwise use the Service. The Data & Privacy statement is incorporated into these terms by reference.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, or use the Service through an adult or institution that accepts these terms on your behalf.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for:

The following uses of the Service are prohibited:

You retain ownership of everything you upload and everything generated from it for you — images, study details, and reports (“Your Content”).

So that we can operate the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, reproduce, and analyze Your Content — solely to provide the Service to you, to maintain and secure the platform, and, in fully de-identified and aggregated form, to improve our segmentation models.

This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except that we may retain de-identified, aggregated derivatives — such as model-improvement statistics — that no longer identify you or your subjects. We never sell Your Content and never share it with third parties.

You must remove protected health information (PHI) and other direct identifiers — names, medical record numbers, exact dates of birth — from files before uploading them. Hospital DICOM exports often carry these in their headers, and checking standard header fields is your responsibility. TraceOrg takes no responsibility for PHI located in non-standard DICOM headers.

You must also have the right to upload and use the imaging files you submit. If you discover that identifiable data was uploaded by mistake, delete the affected study or contact us and we will remove it; removal of the affected images is the sole remedy for PHI discovered in uploads.

How we store, protect, retain, and delete your data is described in plain language in the TraceOrg Data & Privacy statement: everything is hosted on our own servers, nothing is shared with third parties, and you can delete your data at any time.

You may publish, present, and share results produced with the Service for non-commercial purposes, including the reports generated from your own data. If use of the Service contributes to a publication, you agree to acknowledge TraceOrg as the provider of the analysis.

The Service itself — including its software, models, design, and documentation — belongs to TraceOrg and its affiliates and is protected by intellectual-property laws and treaties. Apart from Your Content and the license in section 3, these terms transfer no rights in the Service to you.

You agree not to remove, obscure, or alter copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices, and not to use the TraceOrg or Beyōnd Radiology names or logos for publicity or promotion without prior written consent.

TraceOrg is a research-stage platform. Features may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued, and analysis workflows and models are versioned and may be updated. We work to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation.

We may update these terms. If we do, we will update this page — and the date at the top — before the change takes effect; continued use of the Service after that date means you accept the updated terms.

THE SERVICE IS EXPERIMENTAL IN NATURE AND IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT ANY OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE ACCOMPANYING SERVICES, UPDATES, OR SUPPORT. ANY RISK ASSOCIATED WITH USE OF THE SERVICE IS YOUR SOLE RISK. TRACEORG MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SERVICE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TRACEORG OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE SERVICE OR DOCUMENTATION, LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA OF ANY KIND, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE.

To the extent permitted by law, you shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TraceOrg, its corporate affiliates, and their current or future directors, trustees, officers, faculty, medical and professional staff, employees, students, and agents, and their respective successors, heirs, and assigns (the “Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon any of the Indemnitees in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands, or judgments arising from or connected with your use of the Service. TraceOrg and its affiliates have no obligation to indemnify you under these terms. This obligation survives termination of these terms.

You may stop using the Service and delete your studies or your account at any time; how deletion works is described in the Data & Privacy statement.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, put the Service or other users at risk, or use the Service unlawfully. Sections 5 (as to retained de-identified derivatives), 9, 11, 12, and 14 survive any termination.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding its choice-of-law principles; the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, USA for all disputes arising under or relating to these terms.

These terms, together with the Data & Privacy statement, are the entire agreement between you and TraceOrg regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements, proposals, or communications on this subject. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be construed as narrowly as needed to become enforceable, and the remainder stays in effect; a failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

These terms are drafted in English. The English version is the legally binding version; translations are provided for convenience only.
