5. Your Content

"Your Content" means anything you submit: forum threads and replies, blog posts, comments, profile information, and files you upload.

  • Ownership. You retain ownership of Your Content.
  • License to us. For content posted to public areas (forum, blog, public profile), you grant ePharmatica a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt (for formatting), and distribute it on and in connection with the Platform, including in previews, search results, and the WhatsApp assistant. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for cached/backup copies and content others have quoted.
  • Private data stays private. Your highlights, personal notes, study progress, bookmarks, saved jobs, resume data, and AI keys are private to your account and are not published or licensed for public display.
  • Responsibility. You are solely responsible for Your Content, including its accuracy and legality, and you warrant that you have the rights to post it. Do not post copyrighted material (e.g., textbook scans or PDFs) without authorization, confidential patient information, or anything prohibited by the Content Policy.
  • Moderation. We may remove, hide, or restrict any content or account at our discretion to enforce these Terms and the Content Policy.

6. Our Content & Acceptable Use

Platform content (study material, site design, branding, software, and databases) is owned by or licensed to ePharmatica and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-commercial license to access and use it for your own study and professional development.

7. AI Features (Bring Your Own Key)

AI study tools operate using API keys that you supply for a third-party provider you choose (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, Groq).

  • Your provider relationship. Your use of a provider's models is governed by that provider's terms and pricing; you are responsible for all charges your key incurs and for keeping your key within that provider's usage policies.
  • How we handle keys and prompts. We transmit your prompts and relevant study content to your chosen provider to generate responses. We do not sell your keys or prompts, and we do not store AI conversations in v1; key storage options and safeguards are described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Community, Badges & Verification

Participation in the forum and blog is subject to the Content Policy. The Verified Pharmacist badge indicates only that, at the time of review, the user submitted credential documents that appeared on manual inspection to evidence pharmacist registration. It is not a license verification service, an endorsement, or a guarantee of any user's identity, qualification, standing, or advice. Badge decisions are at our discretion and may be revoked.

We do not verify listings beyond reasonable review, are not a party to any application or employment relationship, and make no representations about any employer, role, salary, or outcome. Applications occur off-Platform at your own risk; never pay anyone to apply for a job. Employers submitting listings warrant that their listings are genuine, lawful, and non-discriminatory, and grant us the right to publish, edit for format, or decline them.
