Institutional License Agreement
Effective Date: 2026-05-18 Version: 1.0
This Institutional License Agreement ("Agreement") governs the licensing of AIClinica to a residency program, medical school, hospital, or other institution ("Institution"). It supplements (and where it conflicts, supersedes) the Terms of Service for institutional usage.
Summary: A signed order form + this Agreement bind the Institution. NET-30 payment, 99.9% uptime target, 4-hour incident-notification SLA, breach-notification 72 hours, no data sales, audit rights on reasonable notice. Bespoke contracts may modify these defaults.
1. Parties
- AIClinica: AIClinica, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AIClinica", "we", "us")
- Institution: the entity that signs the order form referencing this Agreement
- Authorized Users: the named individuals (faculty, residents, students, fellows) the Institution provisions to access the Service
2. License grant
Subject to payment of fees and compliance with this Agreement, AIClinica grants the Institution a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to permit Authorized Users to access and use the Service for the term and within the seat counts specified on the order form.
2.1 Seat counts
The order form specifies the number of seats. A "seat" is one Authorized User account.
- Seats may be reassigned between individuals not more than once every 30 days per seat (to prevent shared-account abuse).
- The Institution may add seats mid-term at the per-seat rate, pro-rated to the end of the current period.
- Unused seats do not roll over.
2.2 What's included by default
- Full access to all 12 specialty apps + Medical Student Tutor for each Authorized User
- Institution admin dashboard (
/institutions/admin) with roster management, assignment tools, program-wide analytics - Bulk code generation (
INST-XXXX-XXXX) for invitee onboarding - Standard support (see Section 8)
2.3 Optional add-ons (priced per order form)
- SSO via SAML 2.0 or OIDC
- Roster sync via SCIM or sFTP
- Custom branding (white-label CSS)
- Dedicated customer-success engineer
- On-premises hosted deployment (separate agreement)
3. Term and renewal
3.1 Initial term
Specified on the order form; minimum 12 months unless otherwise agreed.
3.2 Auto-renewal
This Agreement automatically renews for successive 12-month terms at the then-current rate unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days before the current term ends.
3.3 Price increases
We may increase the per-seat rate at renewal by no more than CPI + 5% without the Institution's express consent. Any larger increase requires a new order form.
3.4 Mid-term cancellation
The Institution may terminate mid-term only for cause under Section 11.2 (Institution's right to terminate) — no refund is owed for mere change of preference once seats are provisioned.
4. Fees and payment
4.1 Fees
As specified on the order form. Stated in USD unless otherwise agreed.
4.2 Payment terms
NET-30 from invoice date. Invoices are issued on the first business day of each billing cycle (or as specified on the order form).
4.3 Late payment
Past-due balances accrue interest at 1.5% per month (or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is lower). After 60 days past due, we may suspend access for all Authorized Users until the balance is paid.
4.4 Taxes
Fees exclude all taxes. The Institution is responsible for sales / use / VAT / GST taxes applicable in its jurisdiction. If we are required to collect such taxes, they will be added to the invoice.
4.5 Disputed invoices
The Institution must notify us in writing within 15 days of an invoice if any portion is disputed. The undisputed portion remains payable on the original schedule.
5. Service Level Agreement (SLA)
5.1 Uptime target
AIClinica targets 99.9% uptime measured monthly, excluding:
- Scheduled maintenance announced ≥48 hours in advance (capped at 4 hours per month)
- Force majeure events
- Failures caused by Institution-side network, browser, or device issues
- Failures caused by Authorized Users' misuse
5.2 Service credits
If uptime falls below 99.9% in any calendar month, the Institution is entitled to a service credit:
| Monthly uptime | Service credit (of next month's fee) |
|---|---|
| < 99.9% and ≥ 99.0% | 10% |
| < 99.0% and ≥ 95.0% | 25% |
| < 95.0% | 50% |
Credits must be requested in writing within 30 days of the affected month. Credits are the Institution's exclusive remedy for SLA failures.
5.3 Incident notification
We will notify the Institution's primary admin email of any P0 or P1 incident affecting >10% of seats within 4 hours of detection, with regular updates until resolution.
6. Data ownership, processing, and residency
6.1 Institution Data
"Institution Data" means all data submitted to or generated within the Service by Authorized Users of the Institution, including practice transcripts, scores, and analytics.
- The Institution retains ownership of Institution Data.
- AIClinica processes Institution Data solely to operate the Service, generate aggregated analytics, and improve the Service (de-identified). We do not sell Institution Data.
- The Institution grants AIClinica a license to use Institution Data only as needed to deliver the Service.
6.2 Data residency
Default storage: USA (Supabase). Where regulatory requirements demand alternate residency (e.g., EEA, UAE), we will discuss options under a separate written agreement. Cross-border transfers occur under Standard Contractual Clauses.
6.3 No PHI
The Service is not designed to handle Protected Health Information ("PHI") under HIPAA or equivalent regulations. The Institution agrees not to permit Authorized Users to submit real patient data and is responsible for training them accordingly. AIClinica is not a Business Associate under HIPAA absent a separately executed Business Associate Agreement ("BAA"). A BAA is available at additional cost for institutions that require it.
6.4 Data Processing Addendum
For institutions subject to GDPR, UK GDPR, or comparable regimes, a Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") is available on request. Signed DPAs override conflicting terms in this Agreement.
7. Security commitments
We maintain a written information security program including:
- TLS 1.2+ for all data in transit
- AES-256 at rest
- Row-level security enforced at the database layer
- MFA mandatory for all AIClinica staff with production access
- Annual third-party penetration tests (executive summary available under NDA)
- Quarterly internal security reviews
- Documented incident response procedures
- Background checks on all employees with production access
7.1 Breach notification
In the event of a confirmed personal-data breach affecting Institution Data, AIClinica will notify the Institution's designated security contact within 72 hours of confirmation, with:
- A summary of what is known about the breach
- Categories and approximate volume of records affected
- Mitigation steps taken
- Recommended next steps for the Institution
7.2 Sub-processors
Our current sub-processor list is in our Privacy Policy Section 4. We will provide 30 days' notice before adding a new sub-processor that materially changes the data flow; the Institution may terminate this Agreement without penalty if it reasonably objects.
8. Support
| Tier | Default response time | Escalation contact |
|---|---|---|
| P0 (Service outage) | 1 hour, 24/7 | support@aiclinica.com + on-call SMS |
| P1 (Major feature broken) | 4 business hours | support@aiclinica.com |
| P2 (Minor issue) | 1 business day | support@aiclinica.com |
| P3 (Question / how-to) | 2 business days | support@aiclinica.com |
Business hours: 9:00 to 18:00 Eastern Time, Monday-Friday, excluding US federal holidays.
Institutions with custom support tiers (e.g., dedicated CSM, named-engineer support) are governed by the support exhibit on their order form.
9. Audit rights
On 30 days' written notice, no more than once per 12-month period, the Institution may engage an independent auditor (subject to a customary NDA) to verify our compliance with this Agreement, limited to:
- Security controls listed in Section 7
- Seat-count and usage records billed to the Institution
- Sub-processor list
Audits are conducted at the Institution's expense unless they uncover a material breach by AIClinica.
10. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep the other's Confidential Information confidential, use it only to perform under this Agreement, and apply the same protection it applies to its own confidential information (and not less than reasonable care). "Confidential Information" excludes information that:
- Is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiver
- Was lawfully known to the receiver before disclosure
- Is independently developed without use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information
- Is required to be disclosed by law (with prompt notice to the disclosing party where lawful)
This obligation survives for 5 years after termination of this Agreement.
11. Termination
11.1 For convenience
This Agreement may be terminated for convenience only at renewal under Section 3.2.
11.2 For cause
Either party may terminate immediately by written notice if the other party:
- Materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure within 30 days of written notice
- Becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy
- Ceases operations
11.3 Effect of termination
Upon termination:
- All Authorized User access is suspended within 5 business days
- The Institution may request, within 30 days of termination, a one-time export of Institution Data in CSV or JSON format
- Both parties return or destroy the other's Confidential Information at the other's choice
- All accrued payment obligations survive
- Sections by their nature intended to survive (IP, confidentiality, indemnification, limitations of liability, dispute resolution) survive
11.4 Refunds on termination
- If AIClinica terminates for cause (Section 11.2), the Institution receives a pro-rated refund of unused, paid-in-advance fees
- If the Institution terminates for cause, the same pro-rated refund applies
- If AIClinica terminates for the Institution's breach, no refund is owed
12. Warranties

12.3 Disclaimer

16. Governing law and dispute resolution
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes are first subject to good-faith negotiation between authorized executives of each party (30 days). If unresolved, disputes are submitted to binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, held in Wilmington, Delaware, in English, with three arbitrators (one selected by each party, the third by the two arbitrators). The arbitrators' decision is final.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect IP or confidential information.
