Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-04-15
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Comparta (“we,” “us,” the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What Comparta is — and what it is not
Comparta is a coordination tool for families, friends, and caregivers who are organizing care for someone. It lets you share tasks, medication schedules, appointments, journal entries, messages, and documents within a private care circle.
Comparta is not a medical record, a clinical decision support tool, or a replacement for medical advice. It is not:
- A system of record for clinical care
- A substitute for a physician, nurse, or other licensed health professional
- HIPAA-compliant. We are not a covered entity or a business associate under HIPAA.
You agree not to upload Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined under HIPAA to Comparta. You also agree not to use Comparta as the sole or authoritative source for any clinical decision. If someone’s health is at risk, contact emergency services or a licensed clinician directly.
2. Medication reminders
Comparta can send you reminders to take or log medication doses. These reminders are a convenience and may fail, be delayed, or be missed for reasons outside our control (network issues, device settings, operating system limits, bugs). Do not rely on Comparta as the only system ensuring a medication is taken on time.
3. Your account
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. You are responsible for:
- The accuracy of the information you provide
- Keeping your password secure
- All activity that occurs under your account
You may not create an account on behalf of another person without their permission.
4. Care circles
Comparta is organized into care circles. When a circle coordinator invites you, you are joining a shared space with other members of that circle. You agree:
- To treat content shared in the circle (including medical information other members choose to share) as confidential to the circle
- Not to republish, post publicly, or share outside the circle any content that another member contributed
- To respect the privacy of the care recipient, who may or may not have an account
Coordinators can remove members at any time. If you are removed, you lose access to the circle but the content you contributed remains (e.g., messages, journal entries).
5. Content you upload
You retain ownership of content you upload to Comparta. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display that content solely for the purpose of operating the Service for you and the members of your care circle. We do not use your content for advertising, model training, or any other purpose.
You represent that:
- You have the right to upload and share the content with your circle
- The content does not violate anyone’s privacy, confidentiality, or intellectual property rights
- The content is not PHI subject to HIPAA or similar regulations
We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use Comparta to harass, threaten, or defraud anyone
- Attempt to access accounts or circles that are not yours
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service (denial-of-service, scraping, reverse-engineering)
- Upload malware or any code intended to harm the Service or other users
- Use the Service in violation of any law
7. Service changes & availability
Comparta is provided “as is.” We will work to keep the Service reliable but do not guarantee it will be available 24/7 or error-free. We may change, pause, or discontinue features at any time. Where practical, we will give advance notice of material changes.
8. Termination
You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if operating the Service for you would harm other users.
Upon termination, your personal information is deleted as described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Comparta and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD $100.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Comparta from any claim arising out of your violation of these Terms, your content, or your use of the Service in violation of law.
12. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [PLACEHOLDER — confirm with counsel] without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of the Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [PLACEHOLDER — confirm], and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
