Locarda Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: November 23, 2025

Welcome to AutopsyAI, a product of Locarda LLC ("Locarda," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of AutopsyAI ("the Service"). By using the Service, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions

1.1 Service: The AutopsyAI application and related services provided by Locarda LLC.

1.2 User: The individual or organization accessing and using the Service.

1.3 Content: All text, data, images, voice recordings, or other materials processed by the Service.

1.4 Protected Health Information (PHI): Any health-related data subject to privacy laws such as HIPAA.

2. Use of the Service

2.1 Permitted Use: AutopsyAI is intended solely to assist in transcription and documentation of autopsy findings. It is not intended for medical diagnosis, treatment, or legal decision-making. Users must rely on their own professional judgment when interpreting or using outputs from the Service.

2.2 Medical Disclaimer: AutopsyAI does not provide medical advice or diagnostic results. It serves as a documentation aid only. Users must verify the accuracy of all generated transcriptions and reports.

2.3 Prohibited Use: You may not:

  • Use the Service for unlawful or unauthorized purposes;
  • Upload Content that violates patient privacy or other third-party rights;
  • Reverse-engineer, modify, or tamper with the Service; or
  • Misuse the Service in a manner inconsistent with these Terms.

3. Data Privacy and Security

3.1 HIPAA Compliance:

AutopsyAI is designed and maintained to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Locarda uses a HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure, maintains Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all relevant vendors, and implements controls aligned with industry security standards.

3.2 Data Processing and Storage:

All voice recordings created through the Service are stored locally on the user's device and are never transmitted to Locarda servers.

All transcriptions, case files, and related data are stored in a HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2-ready cloud environment using modern encryption standards (TLS 1.2+ for data in transit and SSE-S3 for data at rest).

3.3 Security Measures:

Locarda implements industry-standard safeguards including, but not limited to:

  • TLS 1.2+ encrypted transmission
  • SSE-S3 encrypted storage
  • Role-based access controls (RBAC)
  • Regular security audits
  • Continuous infrastructure monitoring
  • SOC 2-ready security posture
  • HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure

While Locarda maintains robust safeguards, no system can guarantee absolute security.

3.4 Data Retention and Deletion:

Users may delete individual cases at any time within the application. When a case is deleted, all related data is permanently removed from both cloud storage and local device storage. Users may also delete their entire account or request full data deletion by contacting founders@locarda.com. Account deletion results in the removal of all associated data in accordance with privacy and data-retention requirements.

4. Intellectual Property

4.1 Ownership: AutopsyAI and all related software, algorithms, and intellectual property are owned by Locarda LLC.

4.2 User Content Ownership: Users retain full ownership of all Content uploaded or processed through the Service. Locarda does not claim ownership over any User Content.

4.3 License: Locarda grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use AutopsyAI under these Terms.

4.4 Feedback: Any suggestions or feedback you provide may be used by Locarda without obligation or compensation.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

5.1 Subscription Plans: AutopsyAI is offered on a monthly or yearly subscription basis. Details of current pricing and features are available within the platform or on autopsy-ai.com.

5.3.1 Account Deletion During Billing Cycle: If a user deletes their account during an active billing cycle, no refunds—whether full, partial, or prorated—will be issued for the remaining time in that billing cycle. Access to the Service will terminate upon account deletion, and all associated data will be removed in accordance with our data deletion policies.

5.4 Refund Policy: Refunds are only issued at Locarda's discretion for cancellations made within 14 days of the start of a subscription period.

5.5 Price Changes: Locarda may modify subscription fees with 30 days' notice. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated pricing.

6. Limitation of Liability

6.1 No Warranty: The Service is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, including but not limited to accuracy, reliability, or suitability for legal or medical purposes.

6.2 Liability Cap: To the extent permitted by law, Locarda's total liability shall not exceed the subscription fees paid in the six months preceding the claim. This limitation does not apply to cases of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violations of privacy laws.

6.2.1 Annual Subscriptions - Liability Calculation: For users on an annual subscription plan, the liability cap described in Section 6.2 shall be calculated based on the prorated equivalent of six months of subscription fees under the annual rate. This ensures the liability cap remains consistent regardless of whether the user is on a monthly or annual billing cycle.

Users are also responsible for deleting case information when required, in accordance with their organizational policies and applicable laws.
