Terms of Service & Disclaimer

Last Updated & Effective Date: November 2, 2026

Welcome to Quantum Forge (accessible via quantumforgeapp.com and quantom-forge.web.app). By accessing, viewing, running simulations, or otherwise using this platform, you expressly agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not access or use the application.

1. Scope of the Platform

Quantum Forge provides an advanced scientific workstation integrating machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIP), semi-empirical and quantum chemistry models, Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) transition state pathfinding, and educational dossiers. The platform is designed strictly for:

• Theoretical chemistry research and computational education.
• Academic coursework across undergraduate, graduate, MBBS, Pharm-D, and DVM curricula.
• In-silico visualization of chemical reaction mechanisms and 3D molecular trajectories.

2. Explicit Scientific, Medical, & Veterinary Disclaimer

2.1 Not a Medical Device or CDS System: Quantum Forge is not certified, cleared, or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), or any other regulatory body as a medical device or Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). It does not qualify as a Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system under section 520(o) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

2.2 No Clinical or Prescribing Use: All data, outputs, kinetic barriers, activation energies (ΔG‡, ΔH‡, ΔS‡), rate constants, spectroscopy simulations, and pharmacological dossiers (including human and veterinary ADME profiles, cat/dog species-specific toxicities, and overdose rescue summaries) are purely theoretical and educational approximations. They must NEVER be relied upon for:

• Medical or veterinary clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, or patient triage.
• Dosing calculation, drug administration, or prescription generation.
• Emergency veterinary interventions, toxicological antidote administration, or clinical patient management.

Always seek the counsel of a licensed physician, clinical pharmacist, or veterinary doctor for any health or medical concern.

2.3 CardioCath 3D, Coronary Angiography & In-Silico GNN Disclaimer: The CardioCath 3D module simulates C-arm fluoroscopy, dual-circulation cardiac anatomy (SVC/IVC/coronary sinus venous return, pulmonary circulation, and systemic/coronary arterial trees), radiopaque contrast dye flow, hemodynamic waveforms (Wiggers ECG/Pa/Pd), and in-silico graph neural network predictions (CardioNephroGNN) for academic and pedagogical purposes only. Pursuant to section 520(o)(1)(B) & (E) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. § 360j(o), amended by the 21st Century Cures Act § 3060) and EU Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745 Article 2(1)), this module is a non-device educational simulator. Coronary branching, stenosis models, C-arm gantry angulations (LAO/RAO, Cranial/Caudal), catheter engagement, FFR/iFR ratios, virtual IVUS/OCT cross-sections, AI Attending Proctor critiques, and CardioNephroGNN target affinity ($pIC_{50}$) / hERG potassium channel ($K_v11.1$) risk estimates are simplified mathematical approximations and must NEVER be used for interventional cardiology planning, cardiac catheterization guidance, patient treatment, or as a substitute for GLP-compliant wet-lab patch-clamp electrophysiology (ICH S7B / E14). No physician-patient or clinical advisory relationship is created by use of this platform.

2.4 100% Synthetic Data & Zero-PHI Architecture (HIPAA / GDPR): All anatomical meshes, 12-lead ECG traces, aortic/distal coronary pressure waveforms ($P_a$, $P_d$), IVUS/OCT frames, and clinical vignettes are 100% deterministically synthesized via mathematical equations (Windkessel lumped-parameter and Navier-Stokes Poiseuille models). Zero real patient records, hospital telemetry, DICOM files, or Protected Health Information (PHI / ePHI) are stored, processed, or transmitted. Users are strictly prohibited from inputting patient-identifiable data into any text field or custom SMILES input.

3. "AS IS" Warranty Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Quantum Forge, its software, APIs, models, data dossiers, and calculations are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, "WITH ALL FAULTS" and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

The author and operators expressly disclaim all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, scientific accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, and freedom from computer viruses or errors. Theoretical and machine-learned estimates may contain inaccuracies, approximations, or model hallucinations.

4. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Ali Asghar, Quantum Forge, its developers, contributors, or service providers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages whatsoever, including without limitation damages for personal injury, wrongful death, loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, equipment failure, business interruption, or wet-lab experimental failures arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use this platform, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the software or services is to cease using the platform.

5. Intellectual Property & Prohibited Activities (CBRN & Controlled Substances)

The Quantum Forge software architecture, custom reactive state engines, Flutter client implementations, WebGL/NGL shaders, and educational compilations are copyrighted works owned by Ali Asghar. You expressly agree that you shall NOT:

• Engage in automated scraping, bulk exfiltration, or denial-of-service attacks against the APIs or hosting infrastructure.
• Attempt to inject malicious payloads, cross-site scripting (XSS), or unauthorized data into Firestore collections or backend endpoints.
• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notices, watermarks, or license headers.
• Dual-Use, CBRN, & Chemical Weapons Prohibition: Use the platform to calculate, model, simulate, or optimize the synthesis, purification, or weaponization of chemical warfare agents (including Schedule 1, 2, or 3 chemicals under the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations, 15 C.F.R. § 710 et seq.), biological toxins, or high explosives (e.g., RDX, PETN, TNT).
• Illicit Drug Synthesis Prohibition: Use the platform to discover, optimize, or reverse-engineer clandestine synthetic pathways for illicit controlled substances, fentanyl analogs, or regulated chemical precursors under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 802 et seq.) or international narcotics treaties.
