In addition to factual information, it includes any expression of opinion about an individual and any indication of the intentions of Augmented Anatomy or any other person in respect of an individual.
Professional User(s) or You means the Users of ARtery 3D, that individually subscribe to our Services. Hereafter referred to as “the User”.
Services means the services offered to those Professional Users accessing ARtery 3D. These Services are provided by Augmented Anatomy in partnership with third-party companies under their sole, respective and exclusive responsibility, which the Professional User acknowledges.
Terms of Use means these General Terms and Conditions of Use designed to control the use of the Services by the Professional User.
Software means the ARtery 3D app installed / to be installed on your device, our servers and the web.
Raw Images means the MRI data as they are submitted on our server, including the processing that has been done by the radiology department of the centre that performed the MRI.

2. Services accessible via the Artery3D Application
2.1 Built-in Services
Professional Users may access the following Services built in the ARtery 3D application:
information and content that has been assembled only to provide you with information about the anatomy of the client’s facial arteries.
The Professional User – after being registered on the website of Augmented Anatomy – will fill in a dedicated MRI prescription form for each individual patient (also available online,on https://radiology.augmented-anatomy.com). The Professional User will send his/her patient with this completed prescription form to a radiology service of his/her choice and notify Augmented Anatomy hereof. This radiology service will receive an infrared lamp from Augmented Anatomy, which is a condition to successfully perform the MRI.
Afterwards, the Professional User will be notified by email and/or by push notification through the ARtery 3D application when the MRI data of his/her patient are uploaded by the MRI department on the Augmented Anatomy Database and again when the images are processed and converted by Augmented Anatomy into 3D volumes that can be used by the ARtery 3D application. At that time, he/she will be able to use the data concerning the patients facial arteries – as registered during the MRI – in the ARtery 3D application on his/her smartphone.
After login in with their individual login name and password, Professional Users will have access to an overview of their registered patients, meaning the patients they have sent for an MRI examination. The Users will only see an overview of their patients, within a searchable list and by the use of certain parameters such as the name, sex, and date of birth. In addition, the user will have access to the MRI data of each patient and the frontal video that was taken, but not to the 3D volumes, nor the Augmented Reality images. There will be no possibility to store screenshots of the application on the website.
When using the ARtery 3D application, the User will have access to the list of patients through specific search queries. For each patient, the best possible AR-image of the arterial network will be downloadable from the Augmented Anatomy Database after which it can be viewed through the application. The User is not allowed to take screenshots of the application for offline use.
Should a patient choose to switch from professional user, a request from the new professional user has to be submitted to Augmented Anatomy to access that patient’s data. A subsequent request will be sent from the ARtery 3D platform to that specific patient, by email and/or text message, in which the patient needs to confirm his/her consent. Once the consent is verified by Augmented Anatomy, the new professional user will have access to the 3D images of that specific patient.
Any patient has the right to deny a certain Professional User access to his/her 3D images by sending an email to contact@augmented-anatomy.com with their request and the full name, address and contact details of the professional user.
2.2 Services provided through third-party service providers
You will find the dedicated ARtery 3D application in the app store of Apple and Android devices (App store and Play Store, respectively). In general, the business terms of the relevant platform providers (over which We have no influence) apply there; these are not part of our terms and conditions nor our contractual relationship with you as the User of our Software. This also applies to the business terms and conditions of your mobile device or service supplier.
We work with various partners to ensure the optimal use of our Software. These include third-parties that supply us or our Users directly with certain information and other service providers.
As the User provides an MRI taken by a third party (indicated by the User), Augmented Anatomy has the unquestionable right to decline any MRI if this is of too poor quality, or does not have the correct information to provide the desired quality of ARtery 3D images. Augmented Anatomy will inform the User if the MRI does not meet the standards. The User will have the right to submit another MRI without extra cost.
Augmented Anatomy ensures to deliver each finalised augmented reality image of a patient’s arterial anatomy in the client’s ARtery 3D application within 48hours after the upload of the MRI images and this for the first 10 registered patients on a monthly basis.

4. Warnings regarding the use of information and content provided on ARtery3D
Professional Users remain fully and personally responsible for their use of the ARtery 3D Software and our Services under conditions of ordinary law. Our Software provides information and content that has been assembled only to provide you with information about one’s anatomy. The use of the ARtery 3D application cannot replace an adequate anatomical knowledge, and can only be used by health care practitioners who have appropriate training and experience in facial injections. It is the responsibility of each health care practitioner to consider the clinical and medical status of each patient and to be knowledgeable about all aspects of the cosmetic procedure and the potential complications that may occur in each specific case.
Under no circumstances does ARtery 3D issue medical therapy recommendations or medical advice of any kind. The data provided must only be analysed by a qualified healthcare professional. No content – no matter whether provided by Augmented Anatomy itself, our cooperation partners, or Users – can be understood as replacement for adequate training in facial anatomy and its variations as well as in techniques for injectables or any kind of facial procedures. It does not serve as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
ARtery 3D does not provide recommendations nor any explicit of implied warranties, statements of affirmations (with statements of but not limited to warranties of ownership of non-disputes, of the implied warranties of merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose) regarding the service of any merchandise, information of service offered through its Services.
In addition, ARtery 3D does not warrant that the use of the Software services will be free of technical issues, including, but not limited to, unavailability of information, downtime, service interruptions, viruses, and you understand that you are responsible for investigating sufficient procedures and checkpoints to meet your specific requirements for accuracy of data input and output.
Augmented Anatomy will not be liable nor provide refunds for any limitations or errors caused by use of the application with other devices, software or operating system versions than those described in the technical requirements
We cannot be held responsible for default projection of arteries on moving patients or movements of the device on which the application is installed.
Augmented Anatomy can in no circumstances guarantee that all relevant vessels will be displayed on the application. As many events or circumstances can have an influence on the quality of the image, such as, but not limited to, movement of the patient during the MRI procedure, the way the procedure is executed, the presence of metal wires, dental fillings or implants or any other metal or synthetic implants that might interfere with the result of the MRI and the arteries that are visualised. ARtery 3D can never guarantee to visualise all arteries of the face. Only arteries that are visualised by the MRI can be segmented and shown in the Software. Artery 3D might lose some vessels in the isolation process, depending on the sensitivity of the algorithm. In any case, ARtery 3D cannot be held responsible for any complications happening should the ARtery 3D Software be used in combination with filler injections, as ARtery 3D is a software program that only allows visualization of facial arteries as an aid to better understand facial anatomy, not as a guidance for injections.
In case any serious incident occurred in relation to the device, this should be reported to Augmented Anatomy.

“Confidential information” includes: all data, software, drawings, audiovisual material, documents, sketches, technical or commercial information, including, but not restricted to information related to products, operations, processes, plans or intentions, product information, know-how, design rights, trade secrets, market and business opportunities, in any form (written, oral, visual, in the form of examples or samples or in any other form including an indication that the information is proprietary or confidential) which are disclosed by one party to the other.
The conditions of this agreement shall be considered as Confidential Information. All Confidential Information disclosed by one party to the other shall remain property of the disclosing party.
If either party receives Confidential information or information belonging to the other party in the context of this agreement, each party agrees to use the Confidential Information of the other party only in the context of this agreement and not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties without written consent of the other party. However, the parties are entitled to disclose Confidential Information without written consent to their affiliates (as defined by the Belgian company code) and either party may disclose Confidential Information to its professional consultants and insurers, imposing a confidentiality obligation. Each party agrees to treat the Confidential Information of the other party with no less than the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information, and in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care.
Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) became generally available to the public through no breach by the Recipient of its commitments in the context of this agreement; (ii) is disclosed to the Recipient as non-confidential information by another source than the disclosing party and which the Recipient does not believe not to be authorized for disclosure based on a commitment towards the party that disclosed the information; (iii) is independently developed by the Recipient or was already known to the Recipient before it was disclosed by the disclosing party; (iv) is disclosed pursuant to the order of a competent court, administrative agency or other governmental body or pursuant to laws or regulations, writs or any other administrative or legal proceedings or of the applicable regulatory or professional standards; (v) is disclosed upon written consent of the disclosing party; or (vi) consists of anonymous data transferred by the client.
10. Restrictions of liability and redress
The parties, their affiliated companies, intermediaries, subcontractors or one of their staff shall have no liability towards the other party based on an agreement, non-contractual liability rules (including, but not restricted to negligence) or otherwise with respect to (i) any loss or damage suffered by the other party as a result of third-party claims, or (ii) incidental, special, penal, moral, indirect or consequential damages or loss suffered by the other party such as, but not restricted to lost profits, loss of goodwill, data loss, business opportunities or expected savings.
No provision of this agreement excludes or limits either party’s liability for: (i) wrongful intent, or (ii) fraud.
Augmented Anatomy’s liability arising from this agreement, the law or non- contractual liability or otherwise is limited to the total compensation due by the Professional User to Augmented Anatomy in execution of the agreement.
Neither party may file a claim, in any form, arising from or related to this agreement more than one year following the occurrence of the grounds for the claim, with the exception of claims for non-payment of invoices filed by the party entitled to the payment based on an invoice issued in the context of this agreement.
11. Amendments
Augmented Anatomy may at any time propose amendments, deletions or additions to these Terms and Conditions by giving notice of such Change by posting a revised version of these Terms and Conditions on the website. You will be deemed to have accepted the Change one month after you have received notice of it, with the Change taking effect once the 1 month notice period has passed. If you do not accept any Change, you must inform Us by e-mail to contact@Augmented-anatomy.com, upon which you can continue using our services to finish your outstanding balance. If the balance is not finished within 12 months, Augmented Anatomy has the right to terminate the contract and pay back any outstanding balance.
The 1 month notice period will not apply where a Change is required by law or relates to the addition of a new service, extra functionality to the existing Service or any other change which neither reduces your rights nor increases your responsibilities. In such instances, the Change will be made without prior notice to you and shall be effective immediately upon giving notice of it.
12. Transfer
With the exception of the cases mentioned below, neither party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations arising from this agreement (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to this agreement) without prior and written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Augmented Anatomy may, after sending a notification to the Professional User, outsource its obligations and responsibilities arising from this agreement to its affiliates or subsidiaries without discharging Augmented Anatomy of its obligations in the context of this agreement.
13. Miscellanous
Any failure by a party to enforce the other party’s strict performance of any provision of this agreement shall not constitute a waiver of its rights as defined in this agreement, legal or equitable rights or of any other provision or rights to subsequently enforce any other provision of this agreement.
These terms and conditions and the entire legal relationship between Augmented Anatomy and the User is subject exclusively to Belgian law. However, as a consumer the User enjoys the protection of mandatory laws in the country in which it is located or habitually resident.
If any provision from this agreement is deemed to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, this provision shall not affect the other provision of this agreement. Instead, this unenforceable provision shall be construed as though more narrowly drawn insofar as this is necessary to make it enforceable, so as to effect the original intent of the parties, as set out in this agreement, as closely as possible.
The place of fulfilment and sole court of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from these terms and conditions is agreed as the head office of Augmented Anatomy in Ghent, Belgium. Mandatory conflicts of laws in favour of consumers remain unaffected.
