Terms of Service

Agreement

By accessing or using PathoDiff, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service. PathoDiff is operated by Matthew Path, Sydney, NSW, Australia.

The service

PathoDiff is an AI support tool for anatomical pathologists. It organises differential considerations, with features for and against each entity, alerts for entities that should not be missed, and a possible pathology work-up for independent professional review. It does not provide a final diagnosis. You can download a PDF or copy the analysis, and signed-in users can save cases and add results later. Features and limits may change.

Intended use

PathoDiff is an AI support tool for qualified pathologists and pathology trainees.

It organises differential considerations and a possible pathology work-up for independent professional review.

It does not provide a final diagnosis or replace independent clinical judgement.

You enter text only. PathoDiff does not accept images.

It is not patient-facing, and it is not for autonomous or unsupervised use.

You remain responsible. You must verify suggested diagnoses, tests, and sources. Output can be wrong or incomplete.

Who can use it

PathoDiff is for pathologists, pathology trainees, and other qualified laboratory professionals. It is not for patients or the public.

Professional use only

PathoDiff is assistive decision support only. It does not replace professional pathologic judgment, correlation with clinical findings, or institutional protocols. Final diagnosis and management decisions remain solely with the responsible pathologist and clinical team.

PathoDiff does not provide a final diagnosis and does not replace your independent clinical judgement, institutional protocols, or multidisciplinary review. It is not patient-facing care. You remain responsible for diagnosis, reporting, and clinical decisions. You must verify suggested diagnoses, tests, and sources. Output can be wrong or incomplete.

Acceptable use

• Use de-identified case content only. Do not enter protected health information (PHI). Never include patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers (MRNs) or accession numbers.
• Do not use PathoDiff for patient-facing autonomous reporting or as the sole basis for clinical action without professional review.
• Do not attempt to bypass usage limits, abuse rate limits, reverse engineer the service, or interfere with its security or availability.
• Do not use the service for unlawful purposes or in violation of your employer’s or institution’s policies.

Accounts and usage limits

Guests can run 3 analyses. Free accounts can run 12 analyses per 30 days. Pro limits and prices are on the Pricing page. Team / lab arrangements are agreed individually. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity under your account.

Paid plans and billing

When paid plans are available, payments are processed by Stripe. Subscriptions renew until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and access continues until the end of the paid period. Prices are shown on the Pricing page and at checkout. Paid access is applied when payment is confirmed. A checkout return link by itself does not grant Pro. Nothing in this section excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.

Feedback

We may use feedback and "Missed something?" reports to improve PathoDiff.

Intellectual property

PathoDiff, including its software, branding, and documentation, is owned by us or our licensors. Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for your professional purposes. You retain rights in case content you submit, and you grant us the rights needed to process that content to provide the service (including transmission to xAI, our AI provider, to generate the analysis).

Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” and we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law. Model outputs may be incomplete, incorrect, or outdated. Always verify against current literature, guidelines, and institutional protocols.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PathoDiff and its suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or business interruption, arising from your use of the service. Our aggregate liability for claims relating to the service is limited to the fees you paid in the 12 months before the claim, except where a greater liability cannot be limited by law.

Termination

You may stop using PathoDiff at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these terms, create risk to the service or other users, or if we discontinue the product. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and ownership) will survive termination.

Changes

We may update these terms as the product evolves. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest revision. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
