Expert Platform Participation Terms

These Expert Platform Participation Terms (the “Terms”) are entered into between UAB Spine Revolution, a company incorporated and operating under the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, company code 306210193, VAT code LT100015644610, registered address Aludarių g. 3, Vilnius, Lithuania, e-mail matas@tripdash.net (the “Platform Operator”, “we”, “us”), and the individual professional who accepts these Terms when creating an account (the “Expert”, “you”). The Platform Operator operates the Claimee platform (the “Platform”).

By ticking the acceptance box and creating an account you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms. Acceptance by electronic means has the same effect as a handwritten signature.

1. What the Platform is, and what it is not

1.1. The Platform is a professional network and workflow tool. It allows qualified experts to be verified, to browse products listed by participating brand companies, to apply to review them, and to manage the related approvals, records and withdrawals.

1.2. Each product on the Platform is listed by a separate brand company (a “Brand”). Any review or endorsement work is contracted directly between you and the relevant Brand under a separate written agreement (a “Brand Agreement”). The Platform Operator is not a party to any Brand Agreement, does not act as an agent of you or of any Brand, and gives no guarantee for any Brand. No other company in the Brand's or the Platform Operator's corporate group is a party to, or guarantees, any Brand Agreement.

1.3. The Platform Operator does not acquire any right to use your name, image, likeness, voice, credentials or reviews for endorsement or advertising. Those rights can only be granted by you, to a Brand, in a Brand Agreement.

1.4. The Platform Operator does not manufacture, sell or market any product, does not make or approve any product claim, and is not responsible for any product or claim. Each Brand remains solely responsible for its products, its claims, their substantiation and its advertising.

1.5. The Platform Operator does not hold, receive or transfer any money for you. All fees under a Brand Agreement are paid by the Brand directly to you.

1.6. Using the Platform is free of charge for Experts. The Platform Operator does not take any commission or share of your fees.

2. Eligibility and verification

2.1. To join you must be an individual holding a current, active professional licence, registration or certification in the field you list, and must not be subject to any restriction, suspension, exclusion or pending disciplinary proceeding that is relevant to that field. During phase one, products are marketed in the United States only.

2.2. When you apply you will provide: your field and specialty; your licence, registration or certification number and issuing authority; your National Provider Identifier (NPI) if you are a US clinician; your CV; your current commercial relationships with brands in health, beauty, personal care and wellness; any exclusivity or employer restrictions; your proposed hourly rate; and any other information reasonably required to verify you.

2.3. Before you can review any product, the Platform Operator will verify your identity and credentials. Verification may include: checking the relevant official registers, checking public disciplinary and exclusion records, a public footprint review, a short identity video call, and a paid calibration review. The result of the calibration review is an internal quality score and is not published.

2.4. Verification is repeated periodically, at least monthly for licence status, and whenever information you provide changes.

2.5. You must tell us in writing within five (5) business days if: your licence or certification lapses, is restricted, suspended or revoked; you become subject to any investigation or disciplinary proceeding; you enter into an exclusivity arrangement or a commercial relationship that conflicts with a product you are reviewing or endorsing; or your employer, hospital, residency programme or insurer restricts outside paid work or endorsements.

2.6. Verification by the Platform Operator is a second check, not a substitute for your own obligations. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of everything you tell us, and for complying with the rules of your licensing board, employer and professional bodies.

3. Two approvals per product

3.1. No Expert is assigned a product. You choose which products to apply for. A review only starts after the Brand confirms you for that product. A Brand may decline any Expert without giving reasons, but never because of race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ethnicity, age, disability, pregnancy, veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law; Brands are bound by this rule under the Brand Platform Terms. You may decline or stop any product before signing a Brand Agreement. If you believe you were treated unfairly, you can report it to matas@tripdash.net.

4. Code of conduct

4.1. Own field only. You will only review products and claims that fall within your actual field of expertise, and you will say so if a claim falls outside it.

4.2. Honest, independent review. You will evaluate the evidence yourself, to the standard that a qualified peer in your field would apply, and reach your own conclusion. Your fee never depends on your verdict, and you are free to reject any claim.

4.3. No endorsement without a real evaluation. You will only offer to endorse a product if your review is positive, you have personally examined the product sample where the Brand Agreement requires it, and you genuinely hold the views you will be presented as holding.

4.4. Conflicts of interest. You will declare, at application and before each review, any financial interest in, or commercial relationship with, the Brand, its competitors or the product category, including employment, advisory roles, equity, royalties and current endorsements. You will not review or endorse a product where a conflict would prevent an independent view or would breach an exclusivity obligation.

4.5. Use of AI tools. You may use software, including AI tools, only as an aid, for example for organising notes or drafting wording. You remain personally responsible for reading the evidence and for every conclusion. You will not paste any confidential Brand material into any AI tool that may use inputs for training or that is not covered by business confidentiality terms, unless the Brand has approved that specific tool in writing. You will confirm this in the attestation attached to each review.

4.6. No delegation and one account per person. You will not delegate a review or approval to any other person. You may hold only one account, which is personal to you and not transferable. You will keep your login credentials confidential and tell us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

4.7. Original work. Every review must be your own original work for that product. You will not copy reviews or wording from other sources, other experts or your own earlier reviews without attribution.

4.8. Accuracy and no misinformation. You will not invent, misquote or overstate any study, reference or credential, and you will not approve or promote medically unsupported claims, such as claims to cure, treat or prevent disease.

4.9. Training status. If you are a resident, fellow or other physician in training, or your licence is a training or limited licence, you will say so, and your public credentials will show it (for example “Resident Physician, Internal Medicine”). You will not be presented as board-certified or as a specialist unless you are.

4.10. No patient data and no medical advice. You will not share any patient's personal or health information through the Platform, and nothing you do on the Platform is medical advice to any individual.

4.11. Adverse events. If, while reviewing or examining a product, you learn of any adverse event or safety concern associated with it, you will promptly report it to the Brand and to us. The Brand is solely responsible for assessing it and for any reporting to the US Food and Drug Administration or other authorities required by law. The Platform Operator has no adverse event reporting obligation.

4.12. Disclosure. You accept that every public asset that uses your name or likeness will disclose your paid relationship with the Brand, as set out in the Brand Agreement and the Platform's disclosure policy.

4.13. Professional rules. You will comply with the laws, licensing board rules and professional ethics codes that apply to you, including rules on paid endorsements, advertising and outside activities.

4.14. No circumvention. You will comply with the Anti-Disintermediation Policy: every review, licence, asset approval and withdrawal with a brand company you met through the Platform is created and recorded on the Platform.

5. Confidentiality

5.1. Product details, claims, dossiers, evidence files, prices, launch plans and any other non-public information you receive from a Brand or from us through the Platform (“Confidential Information”) may only be used to decide whether to apply and to perform the related work. You will keep it strictly confidential and protect it with at least reasonable care.

5.2. This obligation does not apply to information that is public through no fault of yours, that you already lawfully knew, that you lawfully receive from a third party without restriction, or that you must disclose by law (in which case you will, where allowed, notify us first and disclose only the minimum required).

5.3. The existence of a product listing or of a Brand's enquiry is itself confidential until the Brand makes it public.

5.4. A Brand may ask you to sign its own non-disclosure agreement. Where it does, that agreement also applies to that Brand's information.

5.5. These confidentiality obligations continue for five (5) years after you leave the Platform, and for trade secrets for as long as they remain trade secrets.

6. Your public profile

6.1. Your public profile on the Platform shows only your name, surname and field of expertise. Your licence numbers, verification results, quality scores, rates and private reviews are not public.

6.2. You grant the Platform Operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display your name, surname and field of expertise on the Platform for as long as you are a member. This licence does not cover advertising, endorsements or any use outside the Platform.

7. Leaving the Platform, suspension and removal

7.1. You may leave the Platform at any time by written notice or through your account settings, with immediate effect.

7.2. Leaving the Platform does not by itself end any Brand Agreement you have signed. Withdrawal of endorsement rights, notice periods, takedown of published assets and payment of fees already earned are governed by the relevant Brand Agreement. The Platform will continue to record and support takedowns for those Brand Agreements after you leave.

7.3. We may suspend or remove your account with immediate effect if you fail or refuse verification, your licence status changes, you breach these Terms, or we reasonably believe that your continued participation creates a legal, regulatory or reputational risk. Where lawful, we will tell you the reason.

8. Independence and payments

8.1. You act as an independent professional. Nothing in these Terms creates employment, partnership, agency or joint venture between you and the Platform Operator or any Brand.

8.2. All fees are flat fees for time spent or for rights granted, as set out in the Brand Agreement and the published rate card. No fee is linked to the sales, revenue or referrals generated by any product.

8.3. You are responsible for your own taxes. Brands may ask you for tax forms (for example, IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN) before paying you.

9. Liability

9.1. The Platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. The Platform Operator does not guarantee that any Brand will confirm you, that any review will be commissioned, or that the Platform will be available without interruption.

9.2. The Platform Operator is not liable for the acts or omissions of any Brand, for any product, claim or advertisement, or for any obligation under a Brand Agreement.

9.3. Except for fraud, wilful misconduct or liability that cannot be excluded by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss or for loss of profit, and the Platform Operator's total liability to you under these Terms is limited to USD 1,000.

9.4. You will compensate the Platform Operator for direct losses and third-party claims arising from false or misleading information you provide about your identity, credentials or conflicts.

10. Personal data

10.1. The Platform Operator processes your personal data as controller in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Expert Privacy Notice, which forms part of these Terms.

11. Changes to these Terms

11.1. We may update these Terms by giving you at least thirty (30) days' notice by e-mail or in your account. If you do not agree, you may leave the Platform before the change takes effect. Changes never apply retroactively to a Brand Agreement already signed.

12. Governing law and disputes

12.1. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania. The parties will first try to resolve any dispute through good faith negotiation. Any dispute that is not resolved within thirty (30) days will be settled by the competent courts of Vilnius, Lithuania. This does not affect any mandatory protection under the law of the place where you practise.

13. General

13.1. These Terms, together with the Expert Privacy Notice and the policies referred to in them, are the entire agreement between you and the Platform Operator about your participation in the Platform. Each Brand Agreement is a separate agreement between you and the relevant Brand.

13.2. If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in force.

13.3. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. We may transfer them to an affiliate or successor operating the Platform by giving you notice.

13.4. Notices to you are sent to the e-mail address in your account. Notices to us are sent to matas@tripdash.net.

13.5. These Terms are written in English. Acceptance by electronic means is valid and binding.
