Terms of Service

1. Purpose and scope

Boeson Research LLC (“Boeson,” “we,” “us”) operates boesonresearch.com to provide information about our organization and research opportunities and to help visitors contact our teams. These terms address use of that website. They are not an agreement to participate in research or receive healthcare.

Use the website lawfully and consistently with these terms. If a feature requires your agreement, the terms presented for that feature apply as well. We seek affirmative agreement when required; posting these terms does not create research consent, a medical-record authorization, or marketing consent.

The Privacy Statement explains information handling. A separate research agreement, informed consent, authorization, or negotiated business contract continues to govern its own subject matter. These website terms do not override those documents or rights provided by law.

2. Medical information and emergencies

Website information is educational and is not personal medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Visiting the site, submitting a form, or receiving general study information does not by itself establish a clinician-patient relationship. Consult your own healthcare professional about medical decisions; do not change treatment based solely on this website.

Do not use website forms, email, or routine text messages for emergencies. Call 911 for an emergency. Enrolled volunteers should use the study team’s contact instructions for urgent study concerns or possible side effects. Website messages are not continuously monitored, even if an office number has an after-hours service.

3. Research opportunities and participation

Study listings summarize opportunities and may change as enrollment, locations, or protocols change. An inquiry, screening-plausibility assessment, or preliminary screening result does not guarantee eligibility, enrollment, treatment assignment, or a place in a study. The study team confirms the applicable requirements.

Research evaluates questions whose answers may be uncertain. An investigational treatment may not help you and may involve risks. Participation may involve a placebo, comparison treatment, or procedures described in the study documents. Website material does not promise that an investigational product is safe, effective, approved, or superior to available care.

Research participation is voluntary. The team explains the applicable consent process, risks, alternatives, privacy provisions, contacts, and any payment or reimbursement before participation as required. Separate permissions apply to relevant screening activities. A general inquiry form is not informed consent.

Any advertised compensation is subject to the specific study’s approved arrangements and the visits or activities actually completed. The study documents explain amounts, timing, prorating, and any costs or injury-related provisions. These terms do not change those arrangements or require completion of a study to retain payments already earned under them.

Pre-screening oversight

Boeson’s Master Pre-Screening and Screening Plausibility Protocol (BR-REC-001, Version 1.1, September 14, 2026) was approved by Pearl IRB under IRB ID 2026-0457 through an amendment approved September 14, 2026. Initial approval was August 12, 2026. Pearl determined that no changes to the informed consents were necessary for this amendment. This approval concerns the protocol, not these website terms, website tracking technologies, or every separate clinical trial.

Pre-screening is voluntary. You may decline questions or a records request, limit future contact, or stop without affecting your medical care, benefits, or legal rights. It assesses only whether formal screening is plausible. It does not determine study eligibility, provide diagnosis or treatment, or guarantee a medical benefit. Incomplete information can lead to an inaccurate preliminary impression; discussing sensitive information also carries discomfort and confidentiality risks.

We obtain the permission or authorization appropriate to each activity. A single written consent form is not required for every Level 1 interaction, but any required activity-specific authorization must precede that activity. New invasive procedures or distinct research assessments require separate applicable authority or the study-specific consent and screening process. Staff will not advise you to change treatment or health behavior to become eligible for research. Cookie choices do not supply research consent or medical-record authorization.

The BR-REC-001 Website Recruitment Reference states:

“Use of or visitation to the website alone does not constitute consent to participate in research or permission for Boeson Research to collect or retain identifiable health information. Entry into the BR-REC-001 pre-screening process requires affirmative engagement or another appropriately authorized contact pathway.”

For questions about your rights under BR-REC-001, contact Pearl IRB at (317) 899-9341 and reference IRB ID 2026-0457. A separate clinical trial’s consent document identifies the IRB for that trial.

4. Your rights as a volunteer

You may decline or discontinue research participation in accordance with the consent process without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. The team can discuss safe withdrawal and any appropriate follow-up. Stopping website use, unsubscribing from recruitment messages, and withdrawing from research are separate actions.

Nothing in these terms asks you to waive any legal right as a research volunteer or releases an investigator, sponsor, institution, or agent from responsibility for negligence. These terms do not limit research-injury claims, alter study compensation, impose arbitration on research disputes, or replace IRB oversight. The confidentiality and retention requirements applicable to research records continue independently of these terms.

5. Inquiries, communications, and minors

Provide accurate information to the best of your knowledge and contact us if it changes. Submit information about another person only with appropriate authority. Do not send passwords, financial account details, Social Security numbers, or full medical records through a general inquiry form. Ask the team for an appropriate way to provide requested records.

The general website and inquiry forms are intended for adults, including parents or guardians seeking pediatric study information. Children under 13 should not independently submit information through these forms. Pediatric participation follows the study-specific permission and assent requirements; a website interaction does not replace them.

We may respond through the contact method you provide, subject to applicable permissions and law. Separate consent is required where applicable for automated or promotional communications. You can request a different method, unsubscribe from promotional email, or use STOP in a supported texting program. Carrier charges may apply. Contact the team directly if you need to change study participation.

6. Permitted use and intellectual property

You may view, link to, and make reasonable personal, noncommercial copies of publicly available information, including sharing it with your family or healthcare professional when considering a study. Keep relevant attribution and notices. Boeson and its licensors retain their rights in website text, design, logos, images, and other protected material. These terms do not restrict uses permitted by law.

Do not impersonate others, submit fraudulent inquiries, harass people, introduce malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, disrupt the site, evade access restrictions, or collect other visitors’ personal information. Do not imply that Boeson endorses a product or organization without permission.

Providing an inquiry, health information, or research record does not grant us an unrestricted right to publish it. Publication of an identifiable testimonial, image, or personal story requires the appropriate separate permission. Ordinary suggestions about the website may be used to improve it, but this does not transfer ownership of your medical information or expand research permissions.

7. Other providers and website availability

The site may include third-party study tools, maps, videos, or links. Some providers have their own terms and privacy notices. A link is not necessarily an endorsement. We remain responsible for our own obligations when using service providers; these terms do not excuse unlawful handling of your information.

We work to keep the website useful, but it may contain errors or be temporarily unavailable. Contact the team to confirm time-sensitive study or appointment information. We may maintain, change, or restrict website features for legitimate operational or security reasons. A website interruption does not terminate your research participation or prevent you from using the study contacts provided to you.

8. Website limitations and applicable law

To the extent permitted by law, the public informational website is provided on an “as available” basis without a promise of uninterrupted or error-free access. We do not guarantee that general information will fit an individual medical situation.

This limited website disclaimer does not exclude liability for negligence in research, personal injury, fraud, willful misconduct, unlawful privacy practices, or any other liability or right that cannot lawfully be excluded. We do not impose a blanket indemnity, monetary liability cap, class-action waiver, or mandatory arbitration through these terms.

Montana law governs these website terms to the extent permitted by applicable law, without displacing mandatory protections available in another jurisdiction. These terms do not require a volunteer to bring a research or privacy claim exclusively in Montana. If a provision cannot be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent lawful.

9. Changes and contact

We identify the effective and last-updated dates on this page. Material changes apply prospectively, with additional notice or agreement when required. They do not retroactively change an existing research consent, authorization, or separate contract.
