Terms of Use

1. The agreement

AI in Healthcare Community (AIiHC) is an independent professional community operated from Norway by its founder. The founder operates the service and is the other party to this membership agreement.

This agreement begins when you create a member account and accept these Terms of Use and the Rules of the Road. The version and date you accept may be recorded. The Privacy Policy separately explains how personal information is handled; accepting these terms is not consent to uses of personal information that require a separate choice.

2. Joining and your account

Eligibility

You must be at least 18. The community welcomes clinicians, researchers, students, healthcare leaders, IT and implementation professionals, policymakers, legal professionals and people from industry. There is no restriction by country or profession, but participation must have a genuine connection with responsible healthcare AI.

Invitation-only membership

An invitation is personal and cannot be sold, shared or transferred. We may decline or withdraw an invitation where the request does not fit the community’s purpose or safety requirements. An invitation does not guarantee permanent membership.

One person, one account

Use your real identity, provide accurate registration information and maintain only one account. Keep your sign-in details secure and do not share your account or impersonate another person. Tell us promptly through the private concern route if you believe an account has been misused.

3. The purpose of participation

AIiHC supports professional learning through shared experience, questions and discussion. It does not provide individual clinical, legal, regulatory, procurement or financial advice.

You remain responsible for checking information, exercising professional judgement and following the laws, professional duties, local policies, governance and escalation routes that apply to you.

AIiHC is not an emergency, incident-reporting or patient-safety reporting route. If an AI system is causing or may cause harm, use the appropriate organisational or statutory route immediately.

4. Conduct and safe participation

You must follow the Rules of the Road and use the Safe-Posting Guidance when sharing professional experience.

Do not contribute:

• patient-identifiable information or original files from a clinical system;
• confidential employer, procurement, contractual or regulatory material you are not authorised to share;
• content that infringes another person’s rights or is unlawful;
• harassment, threats, discrimination, personal attacks or deliberate deception;
• spam, impersonation, manipulation of community features or attempts to interfere with the service; or
• undisclosed commercial promotion.

De-identifying information does not replace any consent, approval or professional permission that may still be required. Professional disagreement is welcome; contempt and abuse are not.

5. Commercial participation and interests

The community is not a sales or lead-generation channel. Do not pitch products, recruit members into a commercial funnel, disguise advertising as discussion or use member information for unsolicited promotion.

If you work for, advise, receive payment from, hold equity in or have another relevant relationship with an organisation whose product or interests are being discussed, disclose that relationship in the contribution. Industry professionals are welcome when they participate in a non-commercial capacity and follow the same rules as everyone else.

6. Your content

Ownership and permission to operate the service

You retain ownership of content you contribute. You give AIiHC a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, reproduce and technically adapt that content only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, moderate and preserve the community. You confirm that you have the right to contribute the content and grant this limited permission.

Summaries, attribution and external reuse

AIiHC may summarise or reference a discussion within the community, with attribution, to make useful knowledge easier for members to find. We will not republish your contribution outside the community without asking you first.

Do not reproduce another member’s contribution outside the community without their permission, except where disclosure is required by law or is necessary to report an immediate safety or legal concern through an appropriate route.

Removal requests

You may request removal of your content. We will consider the request alongside other members’ contributions, legal and safety requirements, and the need to preserve an understandable discussion. Content may be removed or retained in de-identified form. Information held in backups will leave through the normal backup cycle described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Privacy and community boundaries

The community is intended for members, but no online discussion can be guaranteed completely confidential. Another member could copy, save or screenshot a contribution, and disclosure may sometimes be required by law. Only share material you are authorised and prepared to share within that limitation.

How account, profile, activity and contact information is used and retained is explained in the Privacy Policy.

8. Moderation, reports and review

To enforce these terms and the Rules, protect people or the service, or comply with law, we may move, edit, restrict or remove content; issue guidance or a warning; limit account functions; suspend an account; or end membership.

We aim to act diligently and proportionately. Most problems should begin with guidance or correction. Serious or repeated problems may lead to restriction, suspension or termination. Patient-identifiable material, credible threats, illegal content and urgent security risks may be restricted immediately while they are reviewed.

Where legally and practically possible, we will explain a material moderation decision. You may request human review through the private concern route. Where practicable, the review will be considered by someone other than the original decision-maker.

Use the reporting or private concern route for suspected rule-breaking, illegal content, account misuse, privacy issues or unsafe behaviour. Do not escalate a dispute through public confrontation.

9. Ending membership

You may stop using the community and request account closure at any time through the contact form.

We may suspend or end membership for a serious or repeated breach, unlawful use, a material safety or security risk, or conduct fundamentally incompatible with the community’s purpose. Except where immediate action is reasonably necessary, we will normally explain the concern and give you an opportunity to respond.

After closure, personal information follows the retention schedule in the Privacy Policy. Identifying account information is scheduled for deletion or anonymisation, while contributions may be removed or retained in de-identified form where necessary to preserve a discussion.

10. The service and outside services

We make reasonable efforts to keep the community available, secure and useful, but we do not promise uninterrupted access or that every feature will remain unchanged. Maintenance, security work, provider changes or circumstances outside our reasonable control may interrupt the service.

Links and integrations may lead to services operated by others. Their own terms and privacy information apply when you use them. This does not remove AIiHC’s responsibility to manage service providers that process information on its behalf.

11. Community name and materials

The AI in Healthcare Community name, AIiHC name, logos, website design and community-created materials belong to their respective owners. You may link to public pages and refer to the community accurately. You may not imply endorsement, copy branding for another service or use community materials commercially without permission.

12. Responsibility and legal rights

You are responsible for your contributions, professional decisions and use of information shared by other members. AIiHC is not responsible for decisions made in reliance on member content or for loss caused by another member’s conduct.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits responsibility where doing so would be unlawful, including responsibility for fraud, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. Any mandatory rights available to you continue to apply.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the service, law or community’s operation changes. The page will identify the current version and effective date. We will bring material changes to members’ attention before they take effect and request renewed acceptance where a change materially alters member rights or obligations.
