Terms of Use — Stampley AIDES-T2D
A draft overview of expected website use for the AIDES-T2D study and its Stampley support experience. This page is for review and is not final legal language.
Website purpose
AIDES-T2D is a 28-day research experience with study surveys, check-ins, and Stampley, an AI companion intended to provide emotional support. The website supports those study activities and related information.
This description is based on the current project materials. The study protocol and approved participant materials should be checked before this draft is published.
Eligibility and authorized access
The current registration flow uses an email address, password, and a study key provided by the research team. A valid key is required to complete registration. The website does not define study eligibility; eligibility and enrollment decisions must follow the approved study materials and directions from the research team.
Draft language for review: access is intended for people authorized by the study team. Do not share account credentials or use another person's account.
Acceptable use
Proposed language, pending institutional and legal review: use the website for its study and informational purposes, provide only information you are comfortable submitting, and do not attempt to disrupt the service, bypass access controls, or access another participant's information. The research team must confirm the final conduct rules and any response to misuse.
AI-generated information and medical limits
Stampley responses are generated with AI and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Stampley does not provide medical advice or treatment and is not a substitute for a qualified healthcare professional. Do not use a Stampley response to diagnose a condition or make treatment decisions.
Questions about diabetes care or urgent health concerns should be directed to a qualified healthcare professional or the appropriate local service. Any participant safety instructions must come from the approved study and safety materials.
Participant responsibilities
Draft for review: participants should use their own account, review their entries before submitting, and contact the study team if they have questions about study activities or believe their account has been accessed by someone else. The final responsibilities and support steps must match the approved protocol and consent materials.
Research participation
The project materials describe a 28-day study with brief check-in sessions. Participation is described in the project consent flow as voluntary. The approved consent form and study protocol—not this draft page—must explain the study purpose, procedures, risks, benefits, alternatives, compensation if any, and how to ask questions or stop participating.
Content and rights
Ownership, permissions, and licenses for the Stampley name, study materials, software, and third-party content have not been established by the materials reviewed for this draft. The appropriate institutional and legal reviewers should identify the relevant rights and approve any final terms before publication.
Availability
Proposed language, pending review: website features may be updated or temporarily unavailable as the project is maintained. No uptime, support-time, or service-continuity commitment has been verified for this draft. Any final service terms must be approved by the project and institutional owners.
Relationship to informed consent
These draft website terms do not replace informed consent, the study protocol, or other research documents. If a question concerns study participation, use the current approved consent materials and contact the research team. The study team and applicable institutional reviewers must resolve any inconsistency before publication.
