Terms of Service

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website operated by Advanced Research Institute (“ARI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the website.

1. Informational and Educational Purposes

The content available on this website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

ARI makes reasonable efforts to provide useful and current information; however, website content may not always be complete, current, or applicable to your individual circumstances.

Nothing on this website should be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical, legal, regulatory, financial, or other professional advice.

2. No Medical Advice

Information presented on this website is not intended to constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a recommendation regarding any healthcare decision.

Always seek the advice of an appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding medical conditions, symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, medications, or healthcare decisions.

Do not use this website, its contact forms, or research inquiry forms for medical emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or seek appropriate emergency medical care.

3. No Physician-Patient Relationship

Accessing this website, communicating with ARI through the website, submitting an inquiry, completing a pre-screening form, or receiving information from ARI does not by itself establish a physician-patient relationship or other healthcare-provider relationship.

Any physician-patient relationship that may separately exist through an affiliated or participating healthcare practice is governed by the applicable clinical relationship and documentation, not by use of this website.

4. Clinical Trial Information

Information regarding clinical trials displayed on this website is provided for general informational purposes and may be changed, updated, suspended, or removed at any time.

Study status, locations, eligibility criteria, procedures, risks, potential benefits, compensation, reimbursement, study-related costs, timelines, and availability are determined by the applicable research protocol and study documents and may change.

In the event of any inconsistency between information on this website and an approved research protocol, informed consent form, IRB-approved materials, sponsor documentation, or other official study documentation, the applicable official study documentation controls.

5. No Guarantee of Eligibility, Enrollment, or Benefit

Expressing interest in a clinical trial, contacting ARI, completing a questionnaire, or participating in preliminary pre-screening does not guarantee eligibility, screening, enrollment, continued participation, access to an investigational product or procedure, compensation, reimbursement, or any medical or therapeutic benefit.

Eligibility is determined according to the applicable study protocol and screening requirements.

Participation in clinical research is voluntary. Prospective participants will receive the applicable informed consent information and an opportunity to ask questions before deciding whether to participate.

6. Research Risks and Outcomes

Clinical research may involve known and unknown risks. Investigational products, devices, procedures, or approaches are being studied and may not be proven safe or effective for the purpose under investigation.

ARI does not guarantee any particular health outcome or research result.

Study-specific risks, potential benefits, alternatives, procedures, and other information will be addressed through the applicable informed consent process and study documentation.

7. Regulatory and Ethical Oversight

Clinical research conducted through ARI is subject to the requirements applicable to each particular study, which may include an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), study sponsors, applicable federal or state requirements, and other oversight entities.

References on this website to regulatory requirements, ethical standards, Good Clinical Practice, or similar frameworks are provided for general informational purposes and should not be interpreted as a representation or warranty regarding any particular regulatory status, approval, certification, or study.

8. Website Pre-Screening and Research Inquiries

ARI may provide forms or other tools that allow individuals to express interest in research opportunities.

Information submitted through these tools may be used to evaluate whether additional contact or preliminary evaluation may be appropriate. A pre-screening result is not a final determination of study eligibility.

ARI may determine that an individual does not appear suitable for a particular study, may request additional information, or may elect not to proceed with further evaluation.

Submission of information does not create an obligation for ARI to contact, screen, enroll, or provide services to any individual.

9. User Responsibilities

When using this website, you agree not to knowingly provide false, misleading, fraudulent, or unlawful information; impersonate another person without authorization; attempt to interfere with website security or functionality; introduce malicious software or code; attempt unauthorized access to ARI systems or information; or use the website for unlawful purposes.

You are responsible for information you voluntarily submit and for ensuring that you have appropriate authority to provide information relating to another individual.

10. Sponsors, CROs, Investigators, and Healthcare Partners

Information concerning ARI's capabilities, services, investigators, therapeutic areas, facilities, patient populations, recruitment capabilities, timelines, or operational processes is provided for general informational and business-development purposes.

Website content does not constitute a binding proposal, commitment, representation regarding study performance, or guarantee of enrollment, activation timelines, recruitment rates, study outcomes, or financial performance.

Any services or obligations between ARI and a sponsor, contract research organization (“CRO”), investigator, healthcare organization, vendor, or other business partner are governed by the applicable executed agreement.

If website content conflicts with an executed agreement, the executed agreement controls.

11. Third-Party Content and Links

This website may contain links to or information from third-party websites, clinical trial registries, sponsors, CROs, healthcare organizations, publications, or other external resources.

ARI does not control and is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, security, products, services, or privacy practices of third-party resources.

Providing a link or reference does not necessarily constitute endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or approval by ARI.

12. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, website content-including text, graphics, design elements, logos, branding, images, and other materials-is owned by ARI or used with appropriate permission and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Website content may be viewed and used for personal, noncommercial informational purposes. No content may be reproduced, distributed, modified, published, commercially exploited, or used in a manner that suggests affiliation with or endorsement by ARI without appropriate authorization.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

16. Privacy

Use of this website is also subject to ARI's Privacy Policy.

Information collected in connection with particular healthcare or clinical research activities may be subject to additional notices, informed consent documents, HIPAA authorizations, or other privacy requirements where applicable.

17. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless ARI and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of the website, intentional violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person's rights.

This provision does not apply to claims arising from participation in a clinical trial or receipt of healthcare services to the extent governed by separate agreements, informed consent documents, or applicable law.

18. Severability & Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

The failure of ARI to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable federal law or another governing legal requirement controls.

Any dispute concerning use of this website will be subject to applicable law and the jurisdiction of courts of competent jurisdiction, except where otherwise required by law or governed by a separate written agreement.
