Terms of Service

Legal terms and conditions for using MedCode

Last updated: March 2026

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Coastal Labs Studio LLC ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), a California limited liability company, concerning your use of the MedCode mobile application (the "App") and related services.

By downloading, installing, or using MedCode, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

Critical Medical Disclaimer

MEDCODE IS A CLINICAL REFERENCE AND TIMING TOOL ONLY. IT IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE AND IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE CLINICAL JUDGMENT, PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, OR ESTABLISHED RESUSCITATION PROTOCOLS.

MedCode does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. All clinical decisions during a resuscitation event must be made by qualified, licensed healthcare professionals in accordance with applicable protocols (e.g., ACLS, PALS, BLS) and their own clinical judgment.

DO NOT rely solely on MedCode during an emergency. Always follow your institution's protocols and the guidance of the team leader. Technical failures, software errors, or user error may cause inaccurate timing or missed alerts. The App is provided as a supplemental aid only.

Coastal Labs Studio LLC expressly disclaims any liability for adverse patient outcomes, clinical errors, or harm of any kind arising from the use or misuse of this App.

Description of Service

MedCode is a mobile application designed to assist healthcare professionals and medical students during resuscitation events, including:

  • Compression cycle timing
  • Epinephrine interval tracking
  • Defibrillation count tracking
  • Rhythm check logging
  • Event timeline logging

All data is stored locally on your device. MedCode does not require account creation and does not transmit or store your data on external servers operated by Coastal Labs Studio LLC.

Intended Users

MedCode is intended for use by:

  • Licensed healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, etc.)
  • Medical and nursing students under appropriate supervision
  • Healthcare educators and trainers

By using MedCode, you represent that you are a healthcare professional, medical student, or are using the App for training or educational purposes under qualified supervision. The App is not intended for use by the general public for self-treatment or home emergency response.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use MedCode only for its intended purpose and in compliance with all applicable laws and professional licensing requirements. You agree NOT to:

  • Use the App as the sole basis for clinical decision-making
  • Rely on the App in place of proper training, credentialing, or institutional protocols
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
  • Use the App for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or networks
  • Upload or introduce malicious code
  • Violate any local, state, national, or international law or regulation

Free Trial and Purchase

Free Trial

MedCode includes a 7-day free trial that provides full access to all App features. No payment information is required to begin the free trial.

One-Time Purchase

After the free trial period, continued access to MedCode requires a one-time purchase made through the Apple App Store. Key terms include:

  • Billing: Purchases are processed through your Apple ID account via RevenueCat, our payment processing partner
  • No Recurring Charges: This is a one-time purchase with no subscription or recurring fees
  • Refunds: Refund requests are handled in accordance with Apple's refund policy
  • Future Updates: We intend to provide App updates at no additional charge, but we reserve the right to charge for major new features in the future

Price Changes

We reserve the right to modify the App's purchase price for new users at any time. Existing purchasers will not be charged again for the App version they purchased.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our Rights

MedCode, including its design, functionality, code, and content, is owned by Coastal Labs Studio LLC and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for your professional or educational purposes in accordance with these Terms.

Your Data

You retain full ownership of all event logs and data generated within MedCode. Because the App stores data locally on your device and does not transmit it to our servers, we do not claim any rights to your data.

Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

No Warranty

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE OF BUGS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

  • COASTAL LABS STUDIO LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
  • WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ADVERSE PATIENT OUTCOMES, CLINICAL ERRORS, INJURY, DEATH, OR HARM OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OR MISUSE OF THIS APP
  • OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP
  • WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA DUE TO DEVICE FAILURE, SOFTWARE ERROR, OR OTHER CAUSES

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Coastal Labs Studio LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Data and Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Our data practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

MedCode does not require account creation and does not collect personally identifiable information. Event log data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Service Availability and Updates

We strive to maintain a high-quality App experience, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service or availability. We reserve the right to:

  • Modify or discontinue features with or without notice
  • Release App updates that may change functionality
  • Discontinue the App at our discretion

Because MedCode functions locally on your device, your purchased access will remain functional even if we cease offering new downloads or updates, subject to iOS compatibility.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend your license to use MedCode if you violate these Terms or engage in prohibited activities. Upon termination, your right to use MedCode ceases immediately. No refunds will be issued for terminations resulting from violations of these Terms.

Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will:

  • Post the updated Terms on our website
  • Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
  • Provide in-app notifications for material changes where feasible

Continued use of MedCode after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California.

Dispute Resolution

Before filing any legal action, we encourage you to contact us directly to resolve any disputes. Most issues can be resolved through direct communication.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Coastal Labs Studio LLC with respect to the use of MedCode and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
