PHARMACYPULSE — a service of ByondRx, Inc.

Terms and Conditions

Community Pharmacy Transparency Platform

Effective Date: September 3, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and ByondRx, Inc. ("ByondRx," "PharmacyPulse," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the PharmacyPulse website, mobile experiences, and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account, submitting a review, claiming a pharmacy listing, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

PharmacyPulse is a community-driven transparency platform that collects structured, patient-reported information about pharmacy visits — specifically prescription fulfillment outcome, wait time, and empathetic care — and publishes aggregated ratings and individual reviews to help people choose where to fill a prescription. PharmacyPulse includes both independent and chain pharmacies.

PharmacyPulse is not a pharmacy, prescriber, or healthcare provider. We do not dispense medication, provide medical advice, verify real-time inventory, or guarantee that any pharmacy will have a specific medication in stock. Ratings reflect self-reported, post-visit outcomes and are not a substitute for calling the pharmacy directly.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

  • You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or submit a review.
  • You must provide accurate registration information and keep your credentials confidential; you are responsible for activity under your account.
  • Pharmacy business accounts must be claimed by an authorized representative of the pharmacy, and we may request verification before activating certain business features.
  • We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, consistent with Section 11.

4. User Content and License Grant

"User Content" means reviews, ratings, structured post-visit reports, photos, written responses, and any other material you submit to the Service. You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant ByondRx a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, publish, display, adapt, and distribute it in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Service, including in aggregated or de-identified data products described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit your User Content and that it does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.

5. Reviewer Standards and Prohibited Conduct

PharmacyPulse's value depends on reviews that are honest, first-hand, and free of sensitive personal-health detail. When using the Service, you agree not to:

  • Post a review about a pharmacy visit you did not personally experience, or accept compensation, discounts, or incentives from a pharmacy in exchange for a review.
  • Include another person's protected health information, another patient's identity, or any medication, diagnosis, or dosage detail that could identify a specific individual other than yourself.
  • Post content that is defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, obscene, or that threatens harm to any person or pharmacy staff member.
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with a pharmacy.
  • Submit false, fraudulent, or duplicate reviews, or otherwise attempt to manipulate a pharmacy's fulfillment, wait-time, or empathetic-care score.
  • Scrape, harvest, or use automated means to extract data from the Service without our prior written consent.
  • Upload malicious code or attempt to interfere with the security or operation of the Service.

Reports of pharmacy visits should describe what happened operationally (whether the prescription was ready, how long the wait was, how staff treated you) rather than clinical details about your condition or treatment.

6. Content Moderation; Section 230 Safe Harbor

6.1 User-Generated Content Only

All reviews, ratings, structured post-visit reports, and written responses are created and submitted solely by the users and Pharmacy Partners who post them. PharmacyPulse is a provider of an "interactive computer service" within the meaning of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230. The structured rating fields (prescription fulfillment, wait time, and empathetic care) are neutral tools that let a user self-report an experience in the user's own words; PharmacyPulse does not author, ghost-write, materially edit for substance, or specifically solicit the unlawful or defamatory content of any User Content, and does not thereby become an "information content provider" with respect to content authored by a user or Pharmacy Partner.

6.2 No Liability for User Content

To the fullest extent permitted by 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1) and applicable state law, PharmacyPulse will not be treated as the publisher or speaker of any User Content provided by another information content provider, and will have no liability for the accuracy, completeness, legality, or content of User Content — including allegedly false or defamatory statements a reviewer makes about a pharmacy, or a pharmacy makes in a written response about a reviewer. Any dispute concerning the truth or falsity of a specific review or response is between the parties who posted it; PharmacyPulse is not a party to, and takes no position on, the merits of that dispute merely by hosting the content.

6.3 Good-Faith Right to Moderate, Flag, and Remove

Consistent with Section 230(c)(2), PharmacyPulse may, in its sole discretion and without incurring liability or waiving any safe-harbor protection, voluntarily restrict, filter, edit for redaction, flag, decline to publish, or remove any User Content that PharmacyPulse considers, in good faith, to be defamatory, obscene, harassing, unlawful, false, or otherwise objectionable, or that otherwise violates Section 5 of these Terms — whether or not a court has determined the content to be unlawful. This discretion is voluntary and permissive, not mandatory: PharmacyPulse assumes no duty to monitor, pre-screen, or continuously review User Content, and no obligation to remove content arises solely from a complaint, demand letter, or unverified allegation of falsity.

6.4 Moderation Does Not Waive Immunity or Create Liability

PharmacyPulse's decision to remove, retain, edit for redaction, or decline to remove particular User Content (a) is not an admission regarding the truth, falsity, or legality of that content; (b) does not constitute PharmacyPulse's adoption, ratification, or endorsement of the content; and (c) does not waive, narrow, or forfeit any immunity, safe harbor, or defense otherwise available to PharmacyPulse, including under Section 230 or analogous state law. The three-tier moderation process described in this Section — automated screening, human review, and an appeals path for both reviewers and Pharmacy Partners — is a voluntary, good-faith content-management practice and does not transform PharmacyPulse into the developer or co-creator of any User Content it reviews.

6.5 Reporting Content

If you believe a review or written response about you or your pharmacy is false, defamatory, or otherwise violates Section 5 of these Terms, you may report it to moderation@pharmacypulse.co for review under the process described above. Submitting a report does not guarantee removal, and PharmacyPulse retains sole discretion over the outcome.

7. Pharmacy Listings and Business Accounts

Pharmacy listings may be created from publicly available information even before a pharmacy claims its listing. A pharmacy's authorized representative may claim a listing, respond in writing to reviews, and access aggregate, de-identified performance data for that location. Written responses to reviews must comply with the standards in Section 5 and may not disclose another patient's health information. We reserve the right to verify claims, request supporting documentation, and remove a listing or claim obtained through misrepresentation.

8. Pharmacy Partner Program: Subscriptions, Fees, and the Written-Response Feature

This Section 8 applies to pharmacies and their authorized representatives who claim a listing or enroll in a paid subscription plan ("Pharmacy Partners"). It supplements, and does not replace, the rest of these Terms.

8.1 Free and Paid Tiers

Claiming a listing and posting one written response per review is available at no cost, consistent with our transparency mission. Additional features — including response templates, the real-time performance dashboard, aggregate trend analytics, and (as released) scheduling tools — are available only through a paid subscription plan.

8.2 Subscription Plans and Fees

We currently offer introductory pricing of approximately $49 per month, with standard plans ranging from approximately $99 to $299 per month depending on features and listing volume, as described on our pricing page at the time of purchase. Fees are billed monthly in advance and are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.

8.3 Billing, Renewal, and Cancellation

  • Subscriptions automatically renew each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date.
  • You may cancel at any time through your account settings or by contacting partners@pharmacypulse.co; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period.
  • Fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law; if a payment fails, we may downgrade the account to the free tier until payment is resolved.
  • We will provide at least 30 days' notice before any fee increase takes effect for an existing subscriber.

8.4 The Written-Response Feature

Pharmacy Partners may post a written response to a review of their claimed listing. Responses must comply with the reviewer standards in Section 5 and, in addition, must not: (a) offer a discount, refund, or other incentive conditioned on the reviewer editing, removing, or changing a review; (b) disclose another patient's health information; or (c) threaten or harass the reviewer. We may decline to publish, or may remove, a response that violates these Terms.

8.5 Partner Data Access

Pharmacy Partners may access aggregate, de-identified performance data for their own claimed listing(s), such as fulfillment-rate and wait-time trends. Partners may not use the Service to attempt to identify, contact, or take adverse action against an individual reviewer.

8.6 No Guaranteed Placement or Score

Subscribing to a paid plan does not affect a pharmacy's fulfillment, wait-time, or empathetic-care scores, and does not entitle a Pharmacy Partner to preferential search placement, review removal, or suppression of unfavorable but policy-compliant reviews. Paid plans provide tools and data access only.

8.7 Suspension of Partner Accounts

We may suspend or terminate a Pharmacy Partner account, and may forfeit prepaid fees to the extent permitted by law, for fraudulent listing claims, misuse of the written-response feature, solicitation of fake reviews, or other violations of these Terms.

9. No Medical Advice; Assumption of Risk

Nothing on the Service constitutes medical, pharmaceutical, or legal advice. Ratings and reviews reflect subjective, self-reported experiences and may not predict your individual experience at a given pharmacy. Always confirm medication availability, insurance coverage, and clinical questions directly with a licensed pharmacist or your healthcare provider. In a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, the PharmacyPulse and ByondRx names and logos, the confidence-scoring methodology, and underlying software, is owned by ByondRx or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for your own User Content and the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from the Service without our prior written consent.

11. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, remove content, or restrict features if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure for us or other users, or if required by law. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 8, 10, 12–16) will survive.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT REVIEWS, RATINGS, OR LISTED INFORMATION (INCLUDING MEDICATION AVAILABILITY OR PHARMACY HOURS) ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BYONDRX AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ByondRx and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

15. Dispute Resolution: Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Except for disputes that qualify for small-claims court or claims for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, you and ByondRx agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider (such as the American Arbitration Association) under its consumer arbitration rules, rather than in court.

Class Action Waiver: You and ByondRx each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@pharmacypulse.co within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

16. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except as preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue.

17. Modifications to the Service and These Terms

We may modify or discontinue features of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms from time to time; material changes will be communicated through the Service or by other reasonable means. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

18. General Provisions

  • Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ByondRx regarding the Service.
  • Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
  • No Waiver: Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
  • Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Language: These Terms are available in English and Spanish. The English version controls in the event of a conflict, except that, as required by California Civil Code Section 1632, the Spanish-language version controls for a California consumer with whom the transaction was negotiated primarily in Spanish.
