By purchasing a license, downloading, installing, or using the Service, you ("User" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or through the Service at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

This license is for your personal or professional use only. You may not share, transfer, or assign your license to any third party without prior written consent from Novaloop AG.

6. Permitted & Prohibited Use

6.1 Permitted Use

You may use the Software as an assistive tool for clinical documentation, meeting transcription, and the other features described in our product documentation. The Software is designed to support clinical workflows but is not a medical device and must not be used as a substitute for professional medical judgment.

  • Share your License Key with unauthorized third parties;
  • Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any technical protection measures.

6.3 Clinical Responsibility

You acknowledge and agree that you bear sole responsibility for all clinical decisions. The Software provides documentation and informational support only. It does not diagnose, treat, or make clinical recommendations.

7. Intellectual Property

The Software, including all code, algorithms, models, designs, documentation, trademarks, and other intellectual property, is and remains the exclusive property of Novaloop AG. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property except for the limited license described in Section 5.

8. Medical Disclaimer

DuraEdgeAI is not a medical device within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (Medical Device Regulation) or the Swiss Medical Devices Ordinance (MepV). The Software does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. It is an assistive documentation and informational tool designed to support clinicians in their work.

All clinical decisions remain the sole responsibility of the treating physician or healthcare professional. Users should not rely on the Software as a substitute for their own professional medical judgment, training, or expertise.

The Continuous Education feature provides references to scientific literature for informational purposes only. It does not constitute clinical guidance.

Accuracy Disclaimer: You are responsible for reviewing and verifying all content generated by the Software, including transcriptions, summaries, and clinical notes, before incorporating them into medical records or relying on them for any purpose.

9. Patient Data

9.1 Standalone Mode

In Standalone Mode, all audio, transcriptions, and clinical content are processed entirely on your device. No patient data is transmitted to Novaloop AG or any third party.

9.2 Managed Trusted Cloud Mode

In Managed Trusted Cloud Mode, audio and clinical content may be transmitted to the designated cloud inference provider (currently Microsoft Azure OpenAI) for AI processing only. Data is not stored or retained by the cloud provider or by Novaloop AG. All transmissions occur over encrypted channels.

9.3 Data Controllership

In both modes, you remain the sole data controller for any patient data processed by the Software. Novaloop AG does not store or retain patient data in either mode and is not a data processor with respect to patient data.

  • Stripe — for payment processing. Your use of Stripe's services is subject to Stripe's Terms of Service.

  • Microsoft Azure OpenAI — for AI inference in Managed Trusted Cloud Mode. Data is processed in transit only and is not stored or retained. Your use is subject to Microsoft's data processing terms.

Novaloop AG is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services.

11. Indemnification

  • Novaloop AG shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption, regardless of the theory of liability.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable Swiss law, including liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

13. Warranty Disclaimer

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

14. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, changes to operating system requirements, third-party service outages, or government actions.

15. Termination
