Metasophi, with your permission, gathers and analyses your personal data to provide you with individualised statistics and correlation on the relationship between different variables. Correlation does not always imply causation, and omitted or untracked variables can lead to misleading statistics, so care needs to be taken when interpreting statistical output.
We can take no responsibility for the quality of the data, which is dependent on the devices you use, how you use them, and your own accuracy when manually tracking data. Therefore we cannot provide any quality assurance for the statistics, which is based upon said data.
If you publish any graphs, tables, or statistics from Metasophi, or otherwise act on said information, you are considered as the researcher as only you can verify the quality of the data supplied and therefore the quality of the statistics. Consequently, you also assume all liability emerging from the use of such statistics, either by you or someone else.
It is against these terms of service to use Metasophi to diagnose, cure or treat, any disease, illness, pain, wound, fracture, infirmity, deformity, defect or abnormal physical or mental condition of any person.
The statistical results on Metasophi must not be used to diagnose any medical condition. Furthermore, no result should be interpreted as recommending treatment for any medical condition. In the event that you require medical advice or treatment, please contact a licensed medical professional.
It is not permitted under these terms to use Metasophi to either 1) ascertain or verify/compare the efficacy of a medicine or 2) ascertain or verify/compare the safety of a medicine. Efficacy is defined as the concept of demonstrating scientifically whether and to what extent a medicine is capable of diagnosing, preventing or treating a disease.
This service must not be used to track adverse events emerging from the use of medicinal products.
If you are linked or affiliated to an institution receiving federal funding from the US government, then we advise you to look into the regulations relating to the Common Rule. If what you are doing qualifies as research, then you may need to get approval from a relevant IRB. For the purposes of IRB review, research is considered as “a systematic investigation, including research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge”, where “contribute to generalizable knowledge means that the purpose or intent of the project is to test or to develop scientific theories or hypotheses, or to draw conclusions that are intended to be applicable and/or shared beyond the populations or situations being studied.” https://www.bloomu.edu/documents/irb-approval
According to some sources, “Federal regulations do not distinguish between self-experimentation and research on subjects recruited for a specific project. Faculty, staff, and students who wish to act as participants in their own research are considered human subjects. All self-experimentation human research activities require IRB review and approval prior to commencing the study.” See here for more info.
For more information on the Common Rule and the institutions to which it applies, please consult the following:
Revised Common Rule Regulatory Text
We haven’t reviewed, and can’t review, all of the content (such as comments and other text, along with photo, video, audio) posted to or made available through our Services by users or anyone else (“Content”) or on websites that link to, or are linked from, our Services. We’re not responsible for any use or effects of Content or third-party websites i.e. websites to which a course offered through Metasophi provides a link. So, for example:
Some of our Services are offered for a fee. By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees. Depending on the Paid Service, there may be one-time fees, recurring fees, or revenue-based fees. For recurring fees, we will bill or charge you in the automatically-renewing interval (such as monthly, annually, or biennially) you select, on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting us at info@metasophi.com. Revenue-based fees applies to creators of Content, and require that you pay us a percentage of the revenue generated by the courses you have made available through Metasophi.com. Revenue-based fees are ongoing.
If you have created a course on Metasophi that earns revenue, you are responsible for paying all applicable Taxes relating to such revenue.
If your payment fails, Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time (for example, if you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services), or we suspect a payment is fraudulent, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to Paid Services without notice to you.
We may change our fees at any time in accordance with these Terms and requirements under applicable law. This means that we may change our fees going forward, start charging fees for Services that were previously free, or remove or update features or functionality that were previously included in the fees. If you don’t agree with the changes, you must cancel your Paid Service.
We may have a refund policy for some of our Paid Services, and we will also provide refunds if required by law. In all other cases, there are no refunds and all payments are final.
We love hearing from you and are always looking to improve our Services. When you share comments, ideas, or feedback with us, you agree that we’re free to use them without any restriction or compensation to you.

If you find a course on Metasophi.com that you believe violates these Terms, please let us know. Please note however that copyright does not extend to methods or techniques: it only protects content in a fixed form of expression, such as a particular arrangement of words. Metasophi sometimes takes the most important methods and techniques from books and other material and reformulates them into our step-based course content. As our courses do not quote extensively, if at all, from the source material, we are not breaching the moral rights of the original authors.

If Metasophi receives a counter notice fulfilling the above format, then Metasophi may subsequently send a copy of such to the original complainant stating that we may restore or unblock the material concerned to our Service in ten working days. Unless the initial complainant files an action seeking a court order against the content provider accused of infringing their copyright, the content in question may be restored on our Services ten to fourteen days after receipt of the counter-notice, at the discretion of Metasophi.

We may update, change, or discontinue any aspect of our Services at any time. Since we’re constantly updating our Services, we sometimes have to change the legal terms under which they’re offered. The Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of Metasophi, or if Metasophi posts a revised version. we will let you know when there are changes: we will post them here and update the “Last Updated” date, and we may also post on one of our blogs or send you an email or other communication before the changes become effective.

This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement and any access to or use of our Services that are not otherwise subject to arbitration (as indicated below) will be the courts of Ireland.
Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought in any competent court without the posting of a bond), any dispute arising under the Agreement shall be finally settled in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (“JAMS”).
The tribunal will consist of a sole arbitrator. The place of the arbitration will be Dublin, Ireland. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings will be English. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Metasophi shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator. For all purposes of these Terms, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ireland. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding arising out of these Terms will be entitled to an award of costs and legal fees.
In no event will Metasophi, or its suppliers, partners, or licensors, be liable (including for any third-party products or services purchased or used through our Services) with respect to any subject matter of the Agreement under any contract, negligence, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for: (i) any special, incidental or consequential damages; (ii) the cost of procurement for substitute products or services; (iii) for interruption of use or loss or corruption of data; or (iv) for any amounts that exceed the fees paid by you to Metasophi under the Agreement during the twelve (12) month period prior to the cause of action, whichever is greater. Metasophi shall have no liability for any failure or delay due to matters beyond its reasonable control. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Metasophi, its contractors, and its licensors, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all losses, liabilities, demands, damages, costs, claims, and expenses, including legal fees, arising out of or related to your use of our Services, including but not limited to your violation of the Agreement or any agreement with a provider of third-party services used in connection with the Services, and any Content that you post.
These Terms were originally written in English. We may translate these terms into other languages, and in the event of a conflict between a translated version of these Terms and the English version, the English version will take precedence.
The Agreement (together with any other terms we provide that apply to any specific Service) constitutes the entire agreement between Metasophi and you concerning our Services. If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is severable from the Agreement, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of the Agreement. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.
Metasophi may assign its rights under the Agreement without condition. You may only assign your rights under the Agreement with our prior written consent.
