Terms of Service for Scribular
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Scribular desktop application ("Application") created by Patrick Gallagher ("Service Provider"). By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully.
1. License and Use
Scribular is provided to you as a paid commercial service. When you purchase or download the Application, you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use it on your personal computer, solely for your own use and in accordance with these Terms.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, or distribute the Application or any part of it.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code.
- Create derivative works based on the Application.
- Use Scribular for unlawful or harmful purposes.
All rights not expressly granted remain with the Service Provider.
2. Intended Use and Disclaimers
Intended Use
Scribular is intended as a general-purpose documentation aid for professionals. It is not intended for use in diagnosing, curing, mitigating, treating, or preventing any disease or condition, and should not be relied upon to inform clinical decisions.
User Responsibility
Users are responsible for reviewing and verifying all AI-generated summaries. Scribular makes no guarantees as to the accuracy or completeness of its outputs. Any errors must be corrected by the user prior to clinical use. Scribular is not responsible for any decisions made based on its generated content.
Risk Disclosure
Large Language Model (LLM) systems, like the one used in this application, can occasionally misinterpret or hallucinate information. Use of this application is at the user's discretion, and summaries should be considered drafts requiring review.
PHI Disclaimer
While Scribular may be used to process Protected Health Information (PHI) locally on the user’s device, no session content is stored, transmitted, or accessible to us. As a result, Scribular is not considered a HIPAA-covered entity or business associate. Users are solely responsible for complying with applicable privacy laws and professional guidelines.
3. Ownership and Intellectual Property
All trademarks, logos, copyrights, and other intellectual property associated with Scribular remain the property of the Service Provider. You may not use these assets without express written permission.
4. Data and Privacy
Scribular is a local-first app. All session content (e.g., summaries) is processed and stored on your own device. We do not collect or transmit your session data.
The only data collected is:
- A periodic signal from the app to verify your subscription status.
- Your email address (used only for billing or customer support).
- Website cookies (used only when visiting the Scribular website, for marketing and traffic analysis).
See our Privacy Policy for full details.
5. System Requirements and Updates
Scribular is designed to run on supported desktop operating systems. You are responsible for ensuring your system meets the necessary requirements and remains updated.
From time to time, updates may be released to improve functionality or security. You agree to install updates when they become available. Failure to update may result in loss of functionality or service.
6. Third-Party Services
Scribular does not use third-party services within the application itself. However, our website may use external services such as:
- Matomo (analytics)
- Sentry (error tracking)
These services have their own terms of use, which you should review when interacting with the Scribular website.
7. Service Modifications and Termination
The Service Provider reserves the right to modify or discontinue Scribular at any time without prior notice. This includes changes to pricing, features, or availability.
If the application is discontinued:
- Your license to use Scribular will terminate.
- You must cease using the app and delete it from your device.
- No further support or updates will be provided.
8. Limitation of Liability
Scribular is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. While we strive to ensure a reliable and secure experience, we cannot guarantee that the Application will always function as intended or be free of errors.
The Service Provider is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages that result from your use (or inability to use) the Application, including but not limited to loss of data, business interruption, or professional liability.
9. Changes to These Terms
These Terms may be updated from time to time. You are encouraged to review them periodically. Continued use of the Application after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
Effective Date: March 25, 2025
