Terms of Use

Last updated: July 5, 2026  ·  Effective: May 9, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Billing Intelligence tool and related dashboards (collectively, the "Services") operated by Auctus Group Consulting, LLC ("Auctus," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.

1. Access and Eligibility

The Services are made available to authorized users only. Access is granted by invitation and subject to your organization's agreement with Auctus. You must be at least 18 years of age and authorized to act on behalf of your practice or organization to use the Services.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at help@auctus.tools if you believe your access has been compromised.

By providing your email address to access the Services, you agree that Auctus may contact you with information about relevant services, tools, and billing resources. You may opt out at any time by emailing help@auctus.tools with subject line "Opt Out — [Your Name]," or by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.

2. Permitted Use

The Services are provided for internal planning, billing analysis, and informational purposes only. You may use the Services solely for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Services to submit, process, or transmit actual patient health information (PHI) unless a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement is in place with Auctus.
• Reproduce, redistribute, resell, or sublicense any output, data, or content from the Services to third parties without Auctus's prior written consent.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, structure, or underlying ideas, algorithms, or data compilations of the Services or any software used to provide them.
• Scrape, spider, crawl, harvest, or use any automated means or software to access, extract, index, or copy any rates, benchmarks, data, or content from the Services.
• Use the Services, or any output, data, or content derived from them, to build, train, or improve any competing product, service, dataset, or machine-learning model.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any access controls, rate limits, authentication, usage limits, or security features of the Services.
• Use the Services in any way that violates applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations.
• Introduce malware, bots, or automated systems that interfere with the normal operation of the Services.

Contract Analyzer. The Contract Analyzer feature allows you to upload payer contract documents for AI-assisted extraction of key terms. By uploading a document, you represent that you have the right to share its contents for this purpose and that the document does not contain patient health information (PHI) or any information that would require a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. Extracted text and, for scanned documents, page images are transmitted to our servers and processed by a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) solely to perform the extraction. Anthropic does not use API-submitted data to train its models. Raw PDF files are never stored by Auctus. AI-generated analysis is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice regarding your contract rights or obligations. AI-generated output may contain errors, omissions, or content that appears plausible but is inaccurate (sometimes called "hallucination"). You are solely responsible for independently reviewing and verifying all output before relying on it or making any billing, business, or clinical decision.

3. No Medical, Legal, or Billing Advice

4. Intellectual Property

The Services, including all software, design, data compilations, and content, are the proprietary property of Auctus Group Consulting, LLC and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership interest in the Services or their content. While individual government fee-schedule values are publicly available, Auctus's selection, arrangement, enrichment, algorithms, and presentation of that data constitute Auctus's confidential information and trade secrets.

You retain ownership of any data you input into the Services. By inputting data, you grant Auctus a limited, non-exclusive license to process that data solely for the purpose of providing the Services to you.

5. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Auctus does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any defects will be corrected.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Auctus shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or revenue, arising from your use of or inability to use the Services, even if Auctus has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Auctus's total cumulative liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amounts paid by you (or your organization) to Auctus in the three months preceding the claim.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Auctus and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

7. Termination

Auctus reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10) will survive.

8. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

9. Changes to These Terms

Auctus reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes via email at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

10. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any written agreement between your organization and Auctus, constitute the entire agreement between you and Auctus regarding the Services and supersede any prior understandings.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Auctus's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Auctus's prior written consent. Auctus may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets. These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

Force majeure. Auctus will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, network or infrastructure failures, third-party service outages, or governmental action.
