Website Terms of Use
These Website Terms of Use govern your access to varosync.com and any Varosync webpage, public research example, form, or configurator that links to them. They do not govern commissioned research.
In these Terms, “Varosync”, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Varosync, Inc. “You” means the person using the site and any organization on whose behalf that person acts.
By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you use the site for an organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms for that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
1. What these Terms govern
These Terms govern the website. They do not govern research, analyses, deliverables, workspaces, or other services that Varosync performs for a customer. Commissioned work is governed by the customer agreement and Order issued for that work.
Submitting a configuration or inquiry does not create an Order, require Varosync to accept work, reserve capacity, establish a deadline, or require you to buy anything. An engagement begins only when the parties accept an Order under an applicable customer agreement and the Order’s activation conditions are met.
2. Public information and research examples
The site explains Varosync’s work and may present research methods, public-record analyses, case studies, scientific material, or other information. This material is provided for general information. It may be limited by its stated scope, sources, assumptions, and evidence date. Later evidence may change an analysis.
Website material is not medical, legal, regulatory, investment, accounting, or tax advice. It is not a clinical recommendation, an investment recommendation, a valuation, or a substitute for review by qualified professionals. You remain responsible for decisions made using information from the site.
Nothing on the site promises that a research engagement will identify every relevant record or produce a scientific, clinical, regulatory, investment, or commercial outcome.
3. Information you submit
Public forms and the research configurator accept only public, non-confidential information. Do not submit patient information, protected health information, unpublished results, material nonpublic information, data-room material, export-controlled material, trade secrets, or information you are not authorized to disclose.
Sending information through the site or ordinary email does not make that information Customer Material under a customer agreement and does not require Varosync to treat the information as part of a commissioned project. If Varosync can consider a project that requires private material, the applicable agreement and transfer route must be in place before that material moves.
You represent that information you submit is accurate to your knowledge, that you are authorized to submit it, and that Varosync may use it to review and respond to the request.
4. Permitted use
You may use the site for lawful internal business and informational purposes. You may download or print public material where the site provides that function, provided you keep all copyright and attribution notices intact.
You may not:
- use the site in violation of law or another person’s rights;
- obtain or attempt to obtain unauthorized access to an account, system, record, or non-public area;

- use the site or its content to build, train, test, or improve a competing product, dataset, model, or service without written permission; or
- use a public research example as though it were a commissioned opinion prepared for your facts or evidence date.
We may limit or block access where we reasonably believe use violates these Terms or threatens the site, another user, or Varosync.
5. Ownership

6. Third-party services and links
The site may link to records, publications, websites, or services operated by third parties. A link identifies a source or convenient route. It does not mean that Varosync controls or endorses the third party. Third-party terms and privacy practices govern your use of those services.
7. Privacy and cookies
The Privacy Notice explains how Varosync handles personal information in connection with the site. The Cookie Notice explains cookies and similar technologies. Those notices are incorporated into these Terms for purposes of describing Varosync’s practices. They do not convert a notice into a customer agreement.

11. Changes to the site or these Terms
We may change or discontinue part of the site. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version and changing the effective date. A material change applies prospectively. Your continued use after the revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in New York County, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over a dispute arising from or related to the site or these Terms, and each party consents to that jurisdiction and venue.
13. General terms
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Varosync concerning use of the site. They do not replace a customer agreement. If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified only to the extent needed to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue. A delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
