These terms govern your use of arise-ai.org (the "site"), operated by ARISE Network ("ARISE", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Using our website

You may use the site for lawful, personal, and professional purposes. You agree not to:

• use the site in any way that breaches applicable law or regulation;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers, or any connected system;
• introduce malware, or scrape, harvest, or overload the site by automated means without our permission; or

2. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the content on this site — including text, research write-ups, benchmarks, figures, logos, and design — is owned by or licensed to ARISE and protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and share it for non-commercial, informational purposes with appropriate attribution. Where we publish research, benchmarks, or data under an open licence, that licence governs your use of those materials.

3. Research and educational content — not medical advice

ARISE publishes research and educational material about artificial intelligence in healthcare. This content, including anything relating to the HAILS online course, is provided for research, educational, and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, does not create a clinician–patient relationship, and must not be relied on to diagnose, treat, or make decisions about any individual's care. Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional.

4. HAILS events and online course

Registration for our events and the HAILS online course may be subject to additional terms, eligibility criteria, or fees presented at the point of registration. Where those terms conflict with these terms for that activity, the activity-specific terms apply. We may change or withdraw course and event content and availability.

5. Third-party links

The site may link to third-party websites and services. We provide these links for convenience and do not control or endorse those sites, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

6. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we may change, suspend, or withdraw all or part of it without notice. We may also update these terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date above shows the current version, and your continued use of the site means you accept the updated terms.

7. Disclaimers

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including any implied warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ARISE and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the site or its content. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

9. Privacy
