Terms of Use

Using Silent Aid responsibly.

These Terms outline the foundational rules and mutual responsibilities for using Silent Aid — an emergency readiness platform that empowers individuals to prepare critical health information in advance, and enables verified healthcare facility staff to access that information during approved emergency workflows.

Last updated: May 2026Pilot & MVP stage

Important notice

Silent Aid is currently at MVP and pilot-readiness stage. These Terms are written in clear, accessible language and may be refined following legal, clinical, privacy, and regulatory review. Silent Aid is not a substitute for emergency medical services, professional medical judgment, hospital systems, or official medical records.

1

Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using Silent Aid, you confirm that you understand and agree to use the platform responsibly and in full accordance with these Terms. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of the platform immediately.

2

Purpose of Silent Aid

Silent Aid is designed to strengthen emergency readiness by helping individuals prepare and maintain emergency-relevant information in advance. The platform may permit verified healthcare facility staff to securely access that information during approved emergency workflows.

Silent Aid does not provide medical diagnosis, medical treatment, emergency response services, ambulance dispatch, insurance authorization, or hospital care.

3

User responsibilities

Users are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and up-to-date emergency profile information — including contact details, allergies, chronic conditions, medications, emergency contacts, insurance information, and care preferences.

  • Keep your account credentials secure and confidential.
  • Ensure your emergency profile information remains accurate and current.
  • Do not create false, misleading, or harmful profile data.
  • Update emergency contacts promptly when details change.
  • Contact Silent Aid immediately if you suspect unauthorized account activity.
4

Facility responsibilities

Facilities and their authorized staff must use Silent Aid exclusively for legitimate emergency readiness and emergency access purposes. Facility users must never access patient information out of curiosity, for personal reasons, or outside approved clinical workflows.

  • Facilities must provide accurate registration and credentialing details.
  • Staff accounts must be used solely by the authorized individual.
  • Emergency access must be based on a valid, documented emergency reason.
  • Staff must uphold patient privacy and confidentiality at all times.
  • Misuse of emergency access may result in immediate suspension or permanent removal.
5

Emergency access protocols

Emergency access is intended solely for situations where timely retrieval of emergency information may assist verified facility staff in supporting a patient. Silent Aid may require multi-factor authentication, facility approval, valid emergency reason selection, and comprehensive audit logging before any information is displayed.

Emergency access does not guarantee improved medical outcomes. Healthcare professionals remain fully responsible for their own clinical judgment and decisions.

6

QR cards & wearable identifiers

Silent Aid may support QR cards, bracelets, necklaces, and other physical identifiers that link to a user’s emergency profile. Users are responsible for safeguarding their identifiers and reporting any loss, theft, or suspected misuse promptly.

The identifier itself should not be treated as proof of identity, medical diagnosis, insurance coverage, or consent beyond what the platform workflow explicitly confirms.

7

Account verification & notifications

Silent Aid may use OTP verification, email, SMS, and other communication channels to verify accounts, reset passwords, support facility registration, and deliver service-related messages. Delivery reliability may depend on third-party providers and network availability.

8

Prohibited use

You must not misuse Silent Aid or attempt to bypass its security safeguards. Prohibited conduct includes:

  • Unauthorized access to patient or facility information.
  • Attempting to view emergency profiles without a valid reason.
  • Sharing login credentials or impersonating another user.
  • Uploading false, harmful, or deliberately misleading information.
  • Attempting to disrupt, attack, scrape, or reverse engineer the platform.
  • Using Silent Aid for any unlawful, abusive, or non-emergency purpose.
9

Pilot & MVP limitations

Silent Aid is being prepared for pilot validation. During MVP and pilot stages, features may evolve, certain workflows may be constrained, and additional safeguards may be introduced based on user, facility, legal, clinical, and security feedback.

10

Availability & third-party services

Silent Aid may depend on third-party services for hosting, database infrastructure, email and SMS delivery, domain services, and other platform operations. We strive to maintain reliable access but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability under all circumstances.

11

No medical or emergency guarantee

Silent Aid is a support tool for emergency readiness. It does not guarantee that emergency responders will access a profile, that information will always be complete or accurate, that next of kin will always be reached, or that any particular medical outcome will occur.

12

Platform evolution & changes

Silent Aid may add, modify, suspend, or retire features as the platform matures. This may include changes to onboarding flows, consent mechanisms, emergency access protocols, notification systems, audit logging, facility workflows, and QR/wearable management.

13

Suspension or removal of access

Silent Aid reserves the right to suspend or restrict access where there is reasonable suspicion of misuse, unauthorized access, inaccurate facility information, security risk, or violation of these Terms.

14

Privacy & data handling

Your use of Silent Aid is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we approach emergency readiness data, facility access protocols, audit logging, notification practices, and overall data handling.

15

Updates to these Terms

These Terms may be updated as Silent Aid evolves. Revisions may reflect pilot feedback, legal review, privacy enhancements, security improvements, or operational necessities. Your continued use of Silent Aid after updates are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
