Last Revised: 3/15/2023 12:00:00 AM


ClinOne, Inc. ("ClinOne", "we", "our", or "us") provides the web-based clinical trial enrollment, consent, data capture, compliance and engagement platform known as "ClinTrialConnect" (the "Platform") and we may provide software that may be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet to access services (each a " Mobile Applications "). The Platform, the Mobile Applications, and the services which ClinOne provides to you in connection with the Platform and Mobile Applications, are referred to as the "Services".

ClinOne provides the Services in connection with clinical studies (each a "Study"). You may be accessing the Services as an individual participant in the Study (a "Patient") or as a representative of a hospital, clinic, university, or other site conducting the Study (a "Site").

These Terms of Service (these "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and ClinOne governing your access to and use of the Services. If you are accessing the Services on behalf of a Site, then you represent and warrant that you have the right to bind the Site to these Terms, and all other references to the term "you" in these Terms shall be considered references to the Site. These Terms are separate and apart from any agreements between a Site, a Participant, and/or the party sponsoring the Study or their service providers (the "Sponsor"), including, without limitation, any Informed Consent (defined below) or applicable Clinical Trial Agreement.

BY REGISTERING FOR THE SITE OR SERVICE, OR BY OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE SITE OR USING ANY OF THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

You represent and certify that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions. To register an Account with ClinOne, you must be 18 years or over. If you are between the age of 13 and 18, you will only use the Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. Any use or access to the Services by individuals under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) is strictly prohibited and is a violation of these Terms.

  1. SERVICES.
    1. Accounts and Registration. You may access and use certain features of the Services by creating a ClinOne User Account (your "Account"). You may log into your Account to use such Services using a unique username and password. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are solely responsible for any activities or actions taken under your username, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You agree that the information that you provide to ClinOne about yourself upon registration of your Account, and at all other times, (" User Data ") will be true, accurate, current and complete, and you further agree that you will maintain and promptly update the User Data to ensure that it remains true, accurate, current and complete. You may not impersonate any other person or use a username or password that you are not authorized to use. ClinOne reserves the right to require you to change your password for any reason at any time. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your Account, you agree to notify ClinOne Support immediately at support@clinone.com. ClinOne is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
    2. Platform License. Subject to these Terms, ClinOne grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to: (a) access and use the Services specifically made available to you as permitted by ClinOne in connection with an applicable Study (the "Permitted Purpose"), (b) download, install, and use the Mobile Application(s) made available by ClinOne for public use on your own handheld mobile device solely for the Permitted Purpose. This license is exclusive to you and you may not sublicense the use of the Services.
    3. Limitations. You expressly agree that you are solely responsible for any and all acts and omissions that occur through your use of the Platform, and you agree not to engage in any unacceptable uses of the Services, which include, without limitation, use of the Services to: (a) register an Account or otherwise access or use the Services if you have not acknowledged reading and agreed to abide by these Terms; (b) interfere, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts for the Services or any other computer network; (c) create user accounts by automated means or under fraudulent or false pretenses; (d) create or transmit unsolicited electronic communications such as spam to users or promote any products or services; (e) harass, threaten or intentionally embarrass or cause harm or distress to another person or group; (f) collect and publish any information about any of our users; (g) adapt, modify or reverse engineer any portion of the Services; (h) use any spider, robot, retrieval application, or any other device to retrieve any portion of the Services; (i) disseminate, store or transmit viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other malicious code or program; (j) encourage conduct that would constitute a criminal or civil offense; (k) violate any applicable federal, state, local or international law or regulation; (l) exploit any person, including but not limited to exploiting any child under 18 years of age; (m) invade the privacy of any person, including but not limited to submitting personally identifying or other private information about a person without their consent (or their parent’s consent in the case of a child under 13 years of age); (n) solicit personal information from a child under 18 years of age; (o) submit false or misleading information to ClinOne; (p) access the Services in order to build a similar or competitive service; or (q) engage in any other activity deemed by ClinOne to be in conflict with the spirit of these Terms. You agree that you (and not ClinOne) are responsible for ensuring that you comply with any applicable laws when you use the Services.
    4. Patient Informed Consent Agreement. If you are a Patient, you may be presented with an Informed Consent Agreement from Sponsor and/or a Site (each an " Informed Consent "). The Informed Consent is intended to describe the Study and what is involved in your participation in the Study. The Informed Consent should: (a) explain that the Study involves research and provide an explanation of the purpose of the research, (b) describe the expected length of time for participation in the Study, (c) describe all the procedures that will be completed during the Study, (d) describe any experimental procedures the will be completed during the Study, (e) describe any predictable risks of participation and any possible discomforts (e.g., injections, frequency of blood test etc.) that could occur as a result of the Study, (f) describe any possible benefits that may be expected from the Study, (g) provide information about any alternative procedures or treatment (if any) that might benefit you, (h) provide details about how information relating to your participation in the Study will be maintained, and (i) provide information about your right to refuse continued treatment or participation in the Study. Informed Consents may be updated from time to time throughout the course of a Study. When an Informed Consent is updated, you will be asked to review and consent to the updated Informed Consent. While ClinOne may review Informed Consent forms provided by Sponsors or Sites, ClinOne is not responsible for the contents of any Informed Consent or for a Sponsor’s or Site’s compliance with the Informed Consent. Whether or not you agree to an Informed Consent, or any updates thereto, is entirely your own decision.
    5. App Store Terms. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of a Mobile Application is dependent on the third party websites from which you download the mobile apps, e.g., the App Store from Apple or the Android app market from Google (each an " App Store "). You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ClinOne, and not with an App Store. Each App Store may have its own terms and conditions to which you must agree before downloading Mobile Apps from it. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Mobile Apps is conditioned upon your compliance with, such App Store terms and conditions. To the extent such other terms and conditions from such App Store are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of these Terms, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in these Terms apply.
    6. Medical Emergencies; Participation Concerns. If you suffer a medical emergency in connection with your participation in a Study, please contact your local Emergency Services immediately and notify your clinical research Site.

  10. GENERAL.
    1. Modification. ClinOne may modify these Terms at any time. Modifications become effective immediately upon your first access to or use of the Platform or Services after the "Last Revised" date at the top of these Terms. Your continued access to or use of the Platform or Services after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your conclusive acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree with the modifications, do not access or use the Platform or Services.
    2. Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may require the application of the law of another jurisdiction. If you believe that ClinOne has not adhered to these Terms, please contact us by e-mail at compliance@clinone.com. We will do our best to address your concerns. If you feel that your complaint has been addressed incompletely, we invite you to let us know for further investigation. If you and ClinOne are unable to reach a resolution to the dispute, you and ClinOne will settle the dispute exclusively under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) at its Denver, Colorado office. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND CLINONE AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE LIMITED TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN CLINONE AND YOU INDIVIDUALLY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND CLINONE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and ClinOne otherwise agree in writing, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Services or these Terms must be brought, if at all, within one year from the accrual of the claim or cause of action or be forever barred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ClinOne may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its confidential information and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss of data or damage to its servers in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you are subject to any state or federal law requiring that the laws of a different jurisdiction apply or that prohibit dispute resolution in the manner required in this Section, then this Section shall be deemed revised to conform with such laws.
    3. Independent Contractors. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and ClinOne as a result of these Terms or use of the Services.
    4. Waiver. The failure of ClinOne to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by ClinOne in writing.
    5. Construction. The headings of Sections of these Terms are for convenience and are not to be used in interpretation.
    6. Contact. ClinOne is located in Denver, Colorado. Any questions, comments or suggestions, including any report of violation of these Terms should be provided ClinOne as follows:

               By E-mail:                  compliance@clinone.com

               By Postal Mail:          5600 S Quebec Street, Suite B310, Greenwood Village, CO 80111

    7. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ClinOne with respect to the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and ClinOne. The failure of ClinOne to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you and ClinOne nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
