# HearMeDoc Terms of Service

**Effective date:** 2026-05-23 (initial release)
**Operator:** Honeycutt AI Labs LLC, Princeton, TX, USA
**Product:** HearMeDoc at `hearmedoc.com` and any future native-app distribution.

By using HearMeDoc you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the
app. You can stop at any time, close the tab, click "Destroy Vault" in Settings,
or uninstall the PWA.

## 1. What HearMeDoc is, and is not

HearMeDoc is a personal organizer for your own medical records. It runs in your
browser, encrypts what you put into it with a key derived from a passphrase only
you know, and helps you keep track of conditions, medications, lab results,
symptoms, providers, visits, and records-request paperwork.

**HearMeDoc is not medical advice.** It is not a diagnostic tool. It is not a
prescription tool. The interaction checker, the glossary, the plain-language lab
notes, the pain scale, the medication suggestions; every one of these is a
typing-aid and educational helper. **Always confirm anything important with a
licensed healthcare professional.** Your prescription bottle is the source of
truth for what you take. Your doctor is the source of truth for what you have.

HearMeDoc is not legal advice. The HIPAA records-request letter cites
`45 CFR § 164.524` accurately, but laws change and your situation may have
specifics that a sample letter doesn't cover. Talk to a lawyer if a request is
denied or contested.

## 2. Your vault, your responsibility

- You choose your passphrase. We can't reset it. We can't recover your data if
  you lose it. There is no backdoor.
- You are responsible for keeping at least one encrypted `.vault` backup of
  anything important. The app makes this easy, use it.
- Browser-level storage is not the same as disk-level erasure. If you destroy
  the vault on a shared device, run your operating system's secure-erase tools
  as well if your threat model requires it.

## 3. License to use the app

We grant you a worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to use HearMeDoc for
your own personal medical-record keeping, including for your immediate family
(if you choose to track relatives in your own vault). You may not:

- Resell access to HearMeDoc.
- Misrepresent the software as your own.
- Use it to harass, defraud, or harm any person or organization.
- Use it to violate any law.

## 4. Premium features

HearMeDoc v1 has no premium tier. Every feature is free for the patient.
If we add an optional supporter unlock or paid feature in a future version,
this section will be updated and the change announced on the home page of
`hearmedoc.com` with at least 30 days notice.

## 5. No warranty

HearMeDoc is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any
kind, express or implied, including without limitation warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We don't promise the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any feature
will always work in every browser. We don't promise the bundled state-agency
data, NPI Registry snapshot, drug-interaction list, glossary, or any other
bundled reference data is current or complete, these are snapshots, not live
feeds, and we explicitly say so in the app.

## 6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Honeycutt AI Labs LLC and its members,
employees, and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special,
consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill,
arising out of or in connection with your use of HearMeDoc. Our total
aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to HearMeDoc will not
exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding
the claim or (b) US $100.

In HearMeDoc v1 there is no premium tier, so paragraph (a) above amounts to
zero, the cap is the US $100 floor under paragraph (b).

Some jurisdictions don't allow limitations on warranties or damages. In those
jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

## 7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Honeycutt AI Labs LLC harmless from any claim,
demand, or damage arising out of your use of HearMeDoc, your violation of these
terms, or your violation of any third party's rights.

## 8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced on the home page
of `hearmedoc.com` with at least 30 days notice and a new effective date.

## 9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard
to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or
federal courts located in Collin County, Texas.
