4. The Service
4.1 What BlackwellOS Provides
BlackwellOS is a software platform that provides AI-assisted tools to help you draft, organize, and manage marketing and business content (for example, website copy, blog drafts, emails, and related content). The Service may include features that generate, edit, summarize, or reformat text and other materials based on inputs you provide.
4.2 Free Trial
We may offer a seven (7) day free trial for new accounts. The free trial includes up to 85,000 AI tokens (the “Trial Allowance”).
The free trial ends on the earlier of:
- the end of the 7-day trial period; or
- when you use the full Trial Allowance.
When the free trial ends, your access to paid features may be limited, suspended, or require an upgrade to a paid plan in order to continue using those features. We may change or discontinue free trial offerings at any time.
4.3 Service Changes and Availability
We may add, remove, or modify features of the Service at any time. We do not guarantee that any particular feature will always be available or that the Service will operate without interruption.
We may suspend or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice through the Service or by email, when practicable.
4.4 Beta and Experimental Features
From time to time, we may provide access to features labeled beta, experimental, preview, or similar. These features are provided “as is,” may be incomplete or unstable, may change or be removed at any time, and may not be supported. You use beta or experimental features at your own risk.
5. Important Medical and AI Disclosures
5.1 Not Medical Advice / Not a Medical Device
BlackwellOS is a marketing and business-content tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or clinical decision support. The Service is not a medical device and is not intended for use in patient care, clinical workflows, emergency settings, or any situation where inaccurate information could lead to patient harm.
You must not use the Service to make, support, or replace clinical decisions, or to provide professional medical services to patients.
5.2 AI Output Disclaimer (Drafting Only)
The Service may generate content using AI. AI-generated output is inherently probabilistic and may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, outdated, non-compliant, or inappropriate for your intended use. Outputs may also include statements that appear confident but are wrong, or include examples, testimonials, case studies, statistics, citations, or “real-world” details that are fabricated or not verifiable.
You agree that:
- Human review is required. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, validating, and approving all outputs before use or publication.
- No “real patient” implication. You must not publish AI output that implies a real patient story, “real example,” testimonial, or clinical outcome unless you have verified it and obtained all required permissions and consents.
- No compliance guarantee. We do not guarantee that outputs comply with HIPAA, FTC advertising rules, state medical board rules, professional ethics standards, or any other laws or regulations.
- No performance guarantees. We do not guarantee outcomes, including SEO rankings, traffic, leads, conversions, revenue, reputation results, or business performance.
5.3 Customer Responsibility for Published Content and Claims
You are solely responsible for any content you create, upload, generate, distribute, or publish using the Service (including AI-generated drafts), and for any consequences of that content.
This includes responsibility for:
- ensuring all statements are truthful, accurate, and not misleading;
- ensuring all medical/health-related claims are properly substantiated;
- ensuring testimonials, before/after claims, and case examples comply with applicable law and professional rules;
- ensuring appropriate disclosures, disclaimers, and consents are obtained; and
- ensuring your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and professional obligations.
We are not responsible for your published content, your marketing claims, or your compliance decisions.
6. HIPAA, PHI, and Restricted Data
6.1 No PHI, Patient Identifiers, or Medical Records — Ever
BlackwellOS is a marketing and business-content platform and is not designed for storing or processing patient data. You must not upload, enter, submit, store, process, or transmit any Protected Health Information (PHI), patient identifiers, or medical records through the Service, including in any editor, prompt, form field, file upload, generated output workflow, notes, or any other feature.
PHI includes (without limitation) information that identifies or could reasonably identify a patient and relates to a person’s health condition, the provision of health care, or payment for health care.
You are responsible for ensuring that any content you input, edit, generate, or export from the Service does not contain PHI or patient identifiers.
6.2 Not HIPAA-Compliant; No Business Associate Relationship
The Service is not offered as HIPAA-compliant, and it is not intended to be used in any way that would require compliance with HIPAA or similar health privacy or security laws.
You acknowledge and agree that BlackwellOS is not acting as a “business associate” (as defined under HIPAA) and is not providing services as a business associate.
6.3 No BAA
BlackwellOS does not enter into Business Associate Agreements (“BAAs”) through these Terms, and you must not use the Service in any manner that would require a BAA.
6.4 Customer Responsibility for Inputs, Edits, and Publication
You are solely responsible for:
- what you input into the Service;
- any edits you make to content within the Service; and
- anything you publish, distribute, advertise, or otherwise use outside the Service.
AI-generated output may include errors or fabricated “real-world” details. You agree to review and verify all content and ensure it does not include PHI, patient identifiers, or any other restricted data.
6.5 Remediation and Enforcement Rights
If we become aware (including through a report from you or a third party) that content submitted to the Service may include PHI, patient identifiers, medical records, or other restricted data, or that your use creates legal, security, or operational risk, we may, without notice:
- remove or disable access to the content;
- restrict features or access to the Service;
- suspend your account; and/or
- terminate your access to the Service.
We do not have an obligation to monitor content, and you should not rely on us to detect PHI or restricted data.
6.6 Risk Allocation
If you submit PHI or other restricted data in violation of these Terms, you do so at your own risk and in breach of these Terms. You agree that any claim, complaint, investigation, or dispute arising from your submission, editing, or publication of PHI or restricted data is your responsibility, subject to your indemnification and duty to defend obligations in these Terms.
7. Acceptable Use
7.1 Acceptable Use Policy Incorporated by Reference
Your use of the Service is subject to these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The AUP describes prohibited conduct and content and helps protect BlackwellOS, our users, and third parties.
If there is a conflict between the AUP and these Terms, these Terms control unless the AUP explicitly states otherwise.
7.2 Core Prohibited Uses
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any user of your account to:
A. Restricted Data / Patient Privacy
- upload, enter, store, process, or transmit PHI, patient identifiers, medical records, or any information that could reasonably identify a patient, in any form, through the Service (see Section 6);
- create, request, generate, or publish any content that describes, references, or implies a real patient, a real case, a real outcome, or a “real example”;
- use the Service to draft or publish patient stories, case examples, testimonials, or before/after outcomes that are presented as factual or attributable to any individual.
B. Misleading or Unlawful Medical/Health Content

- represent AI-generated content as verified clinical evidence or as advice tailored to a specific patient;

- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to discover source code or underlying components of the Service (except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by law);

E. Illegal, Infringing, or Harmful Content
- violate any applicable law, regulation, or professional rule;
- infringe, misappropriate, or violate intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
- use the Service to harass, abuse, threaten, defame, or discriminate against others.
7.3 Enforcement
We may investigate suspected violations and may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or terminate access as described in these Terms and the AUP. We may also cooperate with law enforcement or regulators where required or appropriate.
We do not have an obligation to monitor content, but we reserve the right to enforce these rules to protect the Service and others.
8. Customer Content and Rights (Inputs/Outputs)
8.1 Customer Inputs
You retain ownership of any text, prompts, files, images, or other materials you submit to the Service (“Customer Inputs”), as between you and BlackwellOS.
To operate the Service, you grant BlackwellOS a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display (only as needed within the Service), and use Customer Inputs solely to:
- provide, maintain, and support the Service;
- secure the Service and prevent abuse or fraud;
- comply with applicable law; and
- improve and develop the Service (in a way that does not identify you or your patients and is consistent with our Privacy Policy).
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to provide Customer Inputs and that Customer Inputs do not violate these Terms (including Section 6 regarding PHI).
8.2 Outputs
The Service may generate or transform content based on Customer Inputs (“Outputs”). Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you may use Outputs for your internal business purposes and for publication and distribution in connection with your marketing activities.
You understand and agree that:
- Outputs may not be unique. Similar or identical Outputs may be generated for other users.
- No non-infringement guarantee. We do not guarantee that Outputs will be original or non-infringing, or that they will be suitable for any particular purpose.
- You are responsible for use. You are solely responsible for reviewing Outputs, verifying accuracy, and ensuring compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and professional rules before using or publishing Outputs.
Nothing in these Terms transfers to you any BlackwellOS intellectual property or any third-party rights that may be included in or associated with the Service.
8.3 Feedback
If you provide suggestions, ideas, feature requests, comments, or other feedback about the Service (“Feedback”), you grant BlackwellOS a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and otherwise exploit that Feedback for any purpose, without compensation or obligation to you.
Feedback is provided voluntarily and does not create any obligation for us to implement it.
9. Third-Party Services and Integrations
The Service may rely on, integrate with, or make available features powered by third-party services, tools, or providers (including AI model providers, hosting and infrastructure providers, analytics providers, and payment processors) (“Third-Party Services”).
You acknowledge and agree that:
- Third-Party Services are outside our control. Their availability, performance, features, and terms may change at any time.
- No responsibility for third-party issues. We are not responsible for outages, interruptions, errors, changes, or discontinuation of any Third-Party Services, or for any resulting impact on the Service.
- Third-party terms may apply. Your use of certain Third-Party Services may be subject to those providers’ terms, policies, and privacy practices, and you are responsible for reviewing and complying with them as applicable.
We may add, remove, or change Third-Party Services used by the Service at any time in our discretion.
10. Plans, Billing, and Cancellation
10.1 Subscription Plans
Certain features of the Service require a paid subscription (“Paid Plans”). The features, limits (including AI token limits), and pricing for each Paid Plan are described at the point of purchase or within the Service and may be updated from time to time.
10.2 Free Trial
We may offer a seven (7) day free trial that includes up to 85,000 AI tokens (the “Trial Allowance”). The free trial ends on the earlier of:
- the end of the 7-day trial period; or
- when you use the full Trial Allowance.
When the free trial ends, your access to paid features may be limited, suspended, or require an upgrade to a Paid Plan to continue using those features.
10.3 Billing, Renewals, and Payment Authorization
If you purchase a Paid Plan, you agree to pay the applicable fees and authorize us (and our payment processor) to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis (for example, monthly or annually, depending on your plan) until you cancel.
Unless otherwise stated at checkout, subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle.
10.4 Failed Payments
If a payment is declined, fails, or is reversed, we may suspend or limit your access to the Service until payment is successfully processed. You remain responsible for all fees and charges incurred through your account.
10.5 Changes to Plans and Pricing
We may change our Paid Plans, limits, or pricing from time to time. Changes will apply prospectively. If a change is material and required by applicable law, we will provide notice as required.
10.6 Upgrades and Downgrades
You may be able to upgrade or downgrade your plan through your account settings (if available). Changes may take effect immediately or at the start of the next billing cycle, as described in the Service. Some plan changes may affect available features and usage limits.
10.7 Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings (if available). If self-serve cancellation is not available, you may cancel by contacting us at notices@blackwellos.com.
Unless otherwise stated, cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You will retain access to paid features through the end of the current paid term, and you will not be charged for the next billing cycle.
10.8 Refunds
Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or where we expressly state otherwise in writing (for example, in a specific offer or order form). Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund for any unused portion of a billing period.
10.9 Founder / Early Adopter Promotions; Grandfathered Pricing; Plan Changes
From time to time, we may offer beta, founder, early adopter, or promotional pricing (collectively, “Promotional Pricing”). If you enroll in a plan that includes Promotional Pricing, your promotional rate will apply for as long as you maintain a continuous, active paid subscription to the applicable plan (or its successor plan as described below), and you remain in good standing (for example, no chargebacks, fraud, or material Terms violations).
“For life” or similar language, if used in connection with Promotional Pricing, means for the life of your account’s continuous paid subscription. A subscription is considered “continuous” if it does not lapse or terminate; however, a brief payment failure will not be treated as a lapse if it is cured within seven (7) days (for example, by updating your payment method and completing payment). Promotional Pricing does not survive cancellation or termination.
Promotional Pricing:
- applies only to the base subscription fee for the applicable plan, and does not include taxes, third-party fees, usage beyond plan limits, add-ons, paid services, or new paid products/features we may offer in the future; and
- does not guarantee access to all future features that may later be introduced for new plan versions or new tiers.
(a) New Practice Plan (Self-Attested Eligibility)
If we offer a “New Practice” plan (or similar limited-duration plan), eligibility may be based on your self-attestation (for example, that your practice is under a stated age). We do not verify eligibility. The New Practice plan may be limited to a defined term (for example, one year). At the end of that term, your subscription may transition to another plan (for example, “Pro”) at the then-current rate for that plan unless you select a different available option.
(b) Plan Versions and Grandfathering
We may change plan names, tiers, features, limits, or packaging over time. If we introduce a new version of a plan (for example, changes to “Pro”), we may offer you the choice to:
- remain on your existing plan/version at your grandfathered rate (which may not include newly introduced features); or
- move to the then-current version or a new tier at the then-current price.
If we restructure our tiers entirely, we will provide a reasonable path to either (i) remain on a comparable grandfathered plan/version or (ii) migrate to a new tier at then-current pricing, as determined by us.
(c) Plan Discontinuation
We reserve the right to discontinue a plan, including a plan associated with Promotional Pricing, if necessary due to factors outside our reasonable control (for example, material changes in third-party technology, pricing, or availability that the plan depends on). If we discontinue a plan, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to work with you to transition to a reasonably comparable plan or alternative offering. Any replacement plan may differ in features, limits, and pricing.
11. Intellectual Property (Our IP)
11.1 Our Intellectual Property
The Service, including all software, source code, APIs, website design, user interface, workflows, templates, prompts we provide (if any), documentation, trademarks, logos, and all other content or materials made available by BlackwellOS (excluding Customer Inputs and Outputs) are owned by BlackwellOS or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws (“BlackwellOS IP”).

We will not use your logo, create a case study, or reference non-public details about your use of the Service without your prior written consent.
You may opt out of this section at any time by emailing notices@blackwellos.com, and we will stop using your business name in new materials within a commercially reasonable time.
12. Security and Data Handling (High-Level)
12.1 Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to help protect the Service and customer data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. You acknowledge that you use the Service at your own risk and that we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12.5 Security Disclosures
You agree not to publicly disclose security vulnerabilities or security-related information about the Service without first providing us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and remediate. If you believe you have found a vulnerability, please report it to notices@blackwellos.com.
13. Suspension and Termination
13.1 Our Right to Suspend or Restrict Access
We may suspend, restrict, or disable your access to the Service (in whole or in part) immediately, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that:
- you have violated these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law;
- you have submitted or attempted to submit PHI, patient identifiers, medical records, or other restricted data (see Section 6);

We are not responsible for any loss, damages, or consequences resulting from a suspension or restriction under this section.

16.1 Indemnity and Duty to Defend
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BlackwellOS and its owner, affiliates, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, complaint, investigation, or proceeding (including by a patient, consumer, regulator, advertising platform, or other third party) arising out of or relating to:
a) your use of the Service (including your prompts, Customer Inputs, edits, and any Outputs you use or publish);
b) your violation of these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law or professional rules;
c) any content you create, publish, distribute, advertise, or otherwise use in connection with the Service, including any alleged false, misleading, or unsubstantiated health-related claim;
d) any allegation that your content includes PHI, patient identifiers, medical records, or other restricted data; or
e) your infringement or misappropriation of any third-party rights (including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights) in connection with your Customer Inputs or published content.
16.2 Meaning of “Defend”
For purposes of these Terms, “defend” means you will:
- respond promptly and cooperate in good faith with us;
- provide information and assistance reasonably requested; and
- cover our reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection with the matter (for example, document collection, copying, mailing, and reasonable time spent responding to subpoenas or regulator inquiries).
If we reasonably determine that legal counsel is necessary to protect BlackwellOS, you agree to reimburse reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
16.3 Control of Defense and Settlement
We may choose, in our discretion, to control the defense and settlement of any matter covered by this Section, including selecting counsel. You may not settle any matter in a way that imposes fault, liability, or obligations on BlackwellOS without our prior written consent.
16.4 Exclusions
This Section does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by BlackwellOS’s intentional misconduct.
17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
17.1 Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
17.2 Informal Resolution
Before filing a claim against BlackwellOS, you agree to first contact us at notices@blackwellos.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after we receive your written notice, either party may pursue a formal claim.
17.3 Venue

17.4 Injunctive Relief
Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information, or to prevent unauthorized access to or misuse of the Service.
18. Changes to the Service and Terms
18.1 Changes to the Service
We may change, update, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time, including adding or removing features, modifying usage limits, or changing supported integrations. We do not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available.
Where practicable, we may provide notice of material service changes through the Service or by email, but we are not required to do so.
18.2 Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Unless a different effective date is stated, updated Terms become effective when we post them on our website or within the Service.
If an update is material and notice is required by applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice (for example, by email to the account owner or through an in-app notice). By continuing to use the Service after updated Terms become effective, you agree to the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and cancel your account.
19. Miscellaneous
19.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms (together with the Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Policy, each incorporated by reference) form the entire agreement between you and BlackwellOS regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings on that subject.
19.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
19.3 No Waiver
If we do not enforce a provision of these Terms, that is not a waiver of our right to do so later. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party waiving the right.
19.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms (in whole or in part) without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets.

These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and BlackwellOS.
19.6 Order of Precedence
If you and BlackwellOS enter into a separate written agreement signed by both parties (such as an order form, enterprise agreement, or data processing addendum), that agreement will control to the extent it conflicts with these Terms for the subject matter it covers.
