Terms and conditions | Who Paid My Doc

Effective: September 14, 2026 · Last updated: September 14, 2026

These Terms govern your use of Who Paid My Doc, a mobile application for reading the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments dataset. Who Paid My Doc is published by HBitTechnology, 1001 S Main St, Ste 500, Kalispell, MT 59901, USA (“we”, “us”).

By downloading, opening, or using Who Paid My Doc, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. Who may use Who Paid My Doc

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, and able to enter into a binding contract. If you are using Who Paid My Doc on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind that organisation, and “you” means both you and it.

You may not use Who Paid My Doc if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or your country of residence.

2. Your account

Some features need an account. You sign in with Google or Apple; we do not issue passwords. You are responsible for the security of the account you sign in with and for everything done through your Who Paid My Doc account.

Keep your account details accurate. Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

You may delete your account at any time from inside the app. Deletion is permanent and removes your saved work.

3. Tiers and what each one includes

Tier	How it is reached	What it includes
Guest	Automatic, on first launch	Search, entity identity, headline figures, and insights
Member	Signing in with Google or Apple	The above, plus a limited number of detailed breakdowns each day
Patron	Paid subscription	Unmetered breakdowns, plus saved contacts, tags, and notes

The daily allowance counts records opened, not requests made: opening one record costs one unlock however many screens it takes to render, and re-opening the same record on the same day is free. The allowance resets at midnight US Eastern time, which may not be midnight where you are.

We may change what each tier includes. If a change materially reduces what you have already paid for, we will tell you before it takes effect, and you may cancel for a pro-rata refund of the unused portion where the law requires one.

4. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

Where you pay. Subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Those stores take the payment; we never see your card details.
Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.
Cancelling. Cancel through your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Deleting the app, or deleting your Who Paid My Doc account, does not cancel a subscription.
After cancelling. You keep paid access until the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not give partial refunds for an unused part of a period unless the law requires it.
Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple and Google under their own policies. We cannot issue a refund for a store purchase directly.
Price changes. We may change prices. Changes take effect at your next renewal and only after the notice the relevant store requires.
Free trials and promotions. Where offered, these convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel first.

5. The data in Who Paid My Doc, and where it comes from

Who Paid My Doc displays the CMS Open Payments dataset: a public federal record of payments and other transfers of value made by drug and device manufacturers to physicians, other covered recipients, and teaching hospitals. CMS publishes it; we reproduce it.

You should understand three things about that data:

It can be wrong or out of date. Records are submitted by manufacturers and group purchasing organisations. We import periodically, so what you see reflects the last import, not today.
Names do not identify people. A large share of recipient profiles share a name with another profile. A name alone is never enough to conclude that a particular person received a particular payment.
Different kinds of money are not comparable. General, research, and ownership payments are distinct categories, are never summed into a single figure in the app, and should not be summed by you.

We do not verify, audit, or correct the underlying records, and we cannot change them. Disputes go to CMS at cms.gov/openpayments; a correction made there reaches Who Paid My Doc at our next import.

6. Who Paid My Doc is not advice

Who Paid My Doc is a reference tool. Nothing in it is medical, legal, financial, investment, compliance, or professional advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation about any person or organisation. A payment record is not evidence of wrongdoing, bias, or an improper relationship. Decisions you make using Who Paid My Doc are yours.

7. Prohibited uses

Who Paid My Doc is not a consumer reporting agency and Who Paid My Doc is not a consumer report. You must not use Who Paid My Doc, or any information obtained from it, in whole or in part, as a factor in deciding a person’s eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, promotion, retention, housing, or any other purpose covered by the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or any comparable state or foreign law.

You also must not:

Use Who Paid My Doc to harass, stalk, threaten, defame, discriminate against, or intimidate anyone.
Present information from Who Paid My Doc as an allegation of misconduct, or in a way likely to mislead about what the underlying record means.
Scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or systematically extract data from the app or its backend, or use any automated means to access it.
Resell, sublicense, redistribute, or build a competing dataset or product from data obtained through Who Paid My Doc.
Circumvent, disable, or interfere with the daily allowance, the paywall, authentication, rate limits, or any other technical restriction.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, except to the extent the law expressly permits it.
Probe, scan, overload, or disrupt the service, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of it or to another user’s account.
Share your account, or use it on behalf of more people than the subscription covers.
Use Who Paid My Doc in violation of any applicable law.

If you want the Open Payments dataset in bulk, get it directly from CMS, which publishes it free.

8. Your content

Contacts, tags, and notes you create in Who Paid My Doc are yours. You keep all rights in them.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, back up, and display that content solely to operate the service for you. That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backups that expire in the ordinary course.

You are responsible for what you write. Do not put anything in a note that you are not permitted to record — in particular, do not enter patient information or any other data protected by HIPAA or a comparable law. Who Paid My Doc is not designed for protected health information, and we are not your business associate.

We do not routinely review your notes, but we may access them where necessary to operate the service, to investigate a violation of these Terms, or where the law requires.

9. Our intellectual property

The app, its design, its software, and its name and branding are ours or our licensors’, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Who Paid My Doc on devices you own or control, in line with these Terms and the app store rules. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

The underlying Open Payments records are U.S. government public data and are not claimed as ours; our selection, arrangement, and presentation of them is.

10. Availability and changes

We aim to keep Who Paid My Doc available, but we do not promise uninterrupted service. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it, and we may need to take it down for maintenance. Where a change is significant and we can foresee it, we will give reasonable notice in the app.

11. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Who Paid My Doc at any time and delete your account from within the app.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if your use puts the service or other users at risk. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will give you notice and a chance to put it right first. If we terminate your account for a reason other than your breach, we will refund the unused part of any prepaid period.

Sections 5 through 9 and 12 through 17 survive termination.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent the law allows, Who Paid My Doc is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory — including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, or any warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, currency, or reliability of the data.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is the case, the exclusions above apply only as far as the law permits, and nothing in these Terms limits your non-excludable statutory rights as a consumer.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of Who Paid My Doc — even if we have been advised that such damages are possible.

Our total liability for all claims relating to Who Paid My Doc in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the app in that period, or USD 50.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless HBitTechnology and its officers, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of Who Paid My Doc, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right — including any claim arising from a use prohibited by Section 7.

15. App store terms

These Terms are between you and HBitTechnology only, not with Apple or Google.
Apple and Google are not responsible for Who Paid My Doc, its content, its support, or any claim relating to it, including product liability, regulatory compliance, and intellectual property claims.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Your use must comply with the applicable third-party terms of the App Store or Google Play.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Flathead County, Montana, and each of us waives any objection to venue there.

If you are a consumer resident in the EEA, the UK, or another jurisdiction whose law gives you the protection of your local courts, nothing here deprives you of that right.

Before filing anything, please write to [email protected]. Most disputes can be resolved that way, and we will engage in good faith for 30 days.

17. General

Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. We will revise the date at the top and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use Who Paid My Doc afterwards means you accept the updated Terms.
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about Who Paid My Doc.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or to a successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
