Terms of Service
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2026
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using StudyPanel. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the StudyPanel mobile application (the "App") you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to use the App. The App is designed for adults capable of entering into binding contracts. If you are under 18, you must not use the App. Individual studies listed in the App may set their own age, health, geographic, or other eligibility criteria; you are solely responsible for confirming your eligibility before applying to any study.
2. WHAT STUDYPANEL IS AND IS NOT
StudyPanel is an information-discovery tool. We aggregate publicly available listings of paid research studies, focus groups, clinical trials, surveys, and interviews from third-party sources (including ClinicalTrials.gov and other public directories) and present them in a searchable interface.
StudyPanel is NOT:
(a) an organizer, sponsor, employer, or medical provider for any study listed in the App;
(b) a party to any agreement between you and the researcher, sponsor, or company operating a study;
(c) a broker or agent for compensation, and we do not pay users for participation in any study;
(d) a medical, legal, financial, or professional advisor. Nothing in the App constitutes medical, legal, financial, or professional advice.
Every study is operated by a third party. StudyPanel does not screen, vet, endorse, or verify the safety, legality, methodology, compensation, or outcome of any listed study. Any interaction, application, screening, payment, or participation is strictly between you and that third party.
3. NO GUARANTEES
Study listings are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE." StudyPanel makes no representation or warranty about the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, availability, safety, or legitimacy of any listing. Compensation amounts, eligibility criteria, availability, and schedules are set by the study operators and change without notice. StudyPanel does not guarantee that you will qualify for, be accepted into, complete, or be paid for any study.
4. HEALTH AND SAFETY DISCLAIMER
Some listings describe medical or clinical research that may involve experimental treatments, drugs, devices, procedures, blood draws, imaging, or other health-related activities and carry health risks. StudyPanel is not a medical provider and does not evaluate the safety of any study. Before applying to or participating in any medical study you must consult your own physician, read the study's own informed-consent documents, and independently verify the study operator's credentials. You participate at your own risk.
Nothing in the App is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Do not rely on the App for medical advice.
5. NEVER PAY TO JOIN A STUDY
Legitimate research studies do not require participants to pay to participate. If a listing or the party operating a listing asks you to pay a fee to participate, submit payment information beyond what is needed to receive compensation, share your bank login, or transfer money, STOP and report the listing to jakub.zitko@icloud.com. This is a common signature of a scam.
6. USER RESPONSIBILITIES
You agree that you will:
(a) provide accurate information about yourself in your profile;
(b) use the App only for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes;
(c) not scrape, resell, or redistribute study listings;
(d) not attempt to reverse engineer, tamper with, or interfere with the App or its servers;
(e) not use the App to impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity or eligibility;
(f) comply with the terms of any third-party study you apply to.
You are solely responsible for your interactions with any study operator, including the accuracy of the information you submit to them, the confidentiality of any data you share, and the outcome of your participation.
7. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND AUTO-RENEWAL
Certain features of the App require a paid subscription ("StudyPanel Pro"). Subscriptions are sold as auto-renewing subscriptions through the Apple App Store.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
- Your subscription automatically renews at the end of the current period at the then-current renewal price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings at any time. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription.
- Any free trial period, if offered, will convert into a paid subscription automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. StudyPanel does not process refunds directly.
Prices, features, and product availability may change. Any material changes will apply only to renewals occurring after the change is made public.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The App, including all software, design, text, graphics, logos, and compiled listings, is owned by StudyPanel and its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms and Apple's Usage Rules.
9. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND LINKS
The App may display links to third-party websites, contact information, or application pages operated by study organizers. StudyPanel does not control and is not responsible for the content, policies, security, or availability of any third-party site or service. Your use of any third party is at your own risk and subject to that third party's terms and privacy policies.
10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY. STUDYPANEL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR- FREE, SECURE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY LISTING OR CONTENT IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR LEGITIMATE.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL STUDYPANEL, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, MEDICAL EXPENSES, OR PERSONAL INJURY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY STUDY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF STUDYPANEL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STUDYPANEL'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO STUDYPANEL IN THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above may not apply to you in whole or in part.
12. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StudyPanel and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the App, (b) your participation in or application to any listed study, (c) your violation of these Terms or of any applicable law, or (d) your violation of the rights of any third party.
13. TERMINATION
We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.
14. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the App shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will take place in Delaware or another mutually agreed location, or by videoconference. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND STUDYPANEL MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND STUDYPANEL EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in court for infringement of intellectual property or misuse of confidential information. You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to jakub.zitko@icloud.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
15. APPLE-SPECIFIC TERMS
You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and StudyPanel, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary. You represent that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
16. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted in the App and take effect on the date noted at the top of the updated Terms. Continued use of the App after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the App.
17. SEVERABILITY; ENTIRE AGREEMENT
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and StudyPanel regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements.
