Legal
Terms of Use
The terms that apply when you use the Lithaya website, the Clinical Workspace, Guided Review and Lithaya Academy.
1. Acceptance
These Terms are an agreement between you and AIP Innovations Inc. ("we", "us"), the operator of Lithaya (the "Platform"). The Platform includes the Lithaya website, the Clinical Workspace, Guided Review and Lithaya Academy. By using it you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy and the Medical Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
2. What the Platform is
The Clinical Workspace and Guided Review are informational reference, clinical review and drafting tools. Their outputs ("Reference Outputs") are AI-generated drafts for review by a qualified healthcare professional. Lithaya Academy is an educational simulation using fictional cases. The Platform does not diagnose, prescribe or recommend treatment for any individual, is not a medical device, and does not give patient-specific medical advice.
3. Who may use it
- Clinical Workspace and Guided Review: qualified healthcare professionals, and trainees working under supervision.
- Lithaya Academy: healthcare students and trainees, and qualified healthcare professionals, for education only.
The Platform is not for patients or the public. Each time you open the Clinical Workspace you confirm your eligibility, and Lithaya Academy asks for confirmation on each new day of use. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you tell us about yourself. We may end access if these Terms are broken.
4. Your professional responsibility
- Review every Reference Output against your own assessment and current authoritative sources before using it, and confirm your review where the Platform asks.
- You keep full responsibility for all clinical decisions, documentation, prescribing and patient communication.
- Using the Platform does not create a clinician–patient or advisory relationship between us and you or your patients.
- You are responsible for meeting the privacy and health-information laws that apply to you (for example HIPAA, GDPR, PIPEDA or PHIPA). Do not enter information that identifies a patient; the Platform removes common identifiers, but it cannot find every one.
- Keep your sign-in details private and tell us about any unauthorized use.
5. Citations
Reference Outputs may cite only articles that the Platform looks up automatically in PubMed (a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine) for each case, each linked to its PubMed record. Lithaya does not select, review or endorse these articles, and the AI chooses which article supports each statement. A citation does not guarantee that the article supports the statement, that it is current, or that it applies to your patient. Check the article before relying on a citation. Statements without a citation are AI reasoning.
6. AI processing
Lithaya provides the AI used by the Platform; you do not need your own AI account. Text you submit is processed by Lithaya's AI provider, a third-party service, only to produce your response. It is not stored by Lithaya or the provider and is not used to train AI models. Dictation uses your web browser's own speech service, under the browser maker's terms.
7. Trials, plans and billing
- New accounts start with a 7-day trial of all products. No payment details are needed for the trial, and nothing is charged when it ends.
- After the trial, you have access to the products you subscribe to: Guided Review, Clinical Workspace, Lithaya Academy or All Access, as described on the Pricing page.
- Paid plans are billed monthly in advance. You can cancel at any time; access continues to the end of the paid month. Payments already made are not refunded except where the law requires.
- We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice by email. The new price applies from your next billing month.
8. Your data
Case text and answers pass through our servers to our AI provider only to produce a response, and are not stored. Libraries and progress you save stay on your own devices, and you are responsible for backing them up. Account and billing information is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
9. Prohibited use
You must follow the Acceptable Use Policy. We may suspend or end access for any breach, for misuse, or to protect the Platform or other users.
10. Intellectual property
The Platform's software, design, content, cases and the Lithaya name belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy, modify, resell or reverse engineer them. Text you enter and the outputs you save remain yours to use in your practice or studies.
11. No warranty
The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that it will be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted or fit for a particular purpose.
12. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including losses related to clinical decisions, patient outcomes or academic results. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Platform in the twelve months before the claim.
13. Indemnity
You agree to cover our losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your use of the Platform, your clinical decisions, or your breach of these Terms.
14. Disputes and governing law
Please contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to resolve the issue informally. These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and disputes are heard in the courts of Ontario. Claims must be brought individually and not as part of a class action, where the law allows.
15. Changes and contact
We may update these Terms. We will post changes here and email members about significant ones before they take effect. Continuing to use the Platform after that means you accept them. Questions: [email protected].
