Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SimLytix ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you are using SimLytix on behalf of an institution or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

SimLytix is web and desktop software for managing Standardized Patient (SP) programs at medical education institutions. The Service includes scheduling, staffing, payroll management, reporting tools, SP availability management, outbound email communications to SPs, and an audit log of user actions.

3. Accounts and Access

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must notify us immediately at support@simlytix.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

Each license grants access to one organization. You may not share your license with another institution without our written consent.

4. Trial Period

New accounts receive a 30-day free trial. At the end of the trial period, continued access requires a paid license. We reserve the right to modify trial terms with reasonable notice.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the application
  • Use the Service to store real patient health information (PHI)
  • Resell, sublicense, or transfer your license to another party without our consent
  • Attempt to circumvent any access controls or security measures

6. Your Data

You retain full ownership of all data you enter into SimLytix. We do not claim any rights to your operational data.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of SimLytix complies with applicable laws regarding the data you store, including employment records and personally identifiable information of your SP employees.

7. Outbound Email Communications

SimLytix enables your organization to send emails directly to SPs, including assignment confirmation notifications and availability requests. By using these features, you agree that:

  • You have obtained appropriate authorization to contact the SPs in your roster by email
  • You are responsible for the accuracy of SP email addresses entered into the system
  • You are responsible for the content of customized email templates and custom notes you configure
  • SimLytix is not liable for emails that are undelivered, filtered as spam, or received by an incorrect recipient due to inaccurate data

SP portal tokens grant passwordless access to the SP portal. You are responsible for ensuring that SP contact records are kept current and that access tokens are not distributed to unauthorized parties.

9. Availability and Updates

We aim to maintain high availability of the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may release updates to the application from time to time, which may include new features, bug fixes, or security patches. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice.

10. Payment and Billing

Pricing and billing terms will be agreed upon separately at the time of purchase. All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise agreed in writing. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice to existing customers.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SimLytix and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

  • Loss of data or business interruption
  • Errors in payroll calculations resulting from incorrect data entry
  • Scheduling conflicts or missed communications

Our total liability for any claim arising from use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free or uninterrupted.

13. Termination

Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days' written notice. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if you breach these terms. Upon termination, you may request an export of your data within 30 days.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation before pursuing formal legal action.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify active users of material changes via email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
