CancerDrs

Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 20, 2026

Please read these Terms carefully.

These Terms include a binding individual arbitration agreement, a class-action waiver, and a jury-trial waiver that affect how disputes between you and MiniGig LLC are resolved. These Terms also limit our liability and require you to indemnify us in certain circumstances. By accessing or using CancerDrs, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("you", "your", or "User") and MiniGig LLC ("MiniGig LLC", "we", "us", or "our"), the operator of CancerDrs, located at https://cancerdrs.com (the "Site"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Site and all content, features, data, tools, forms, newsletters, and services made available through the Site (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing, browsing, submitting a form on, subscribing to, or otherwise using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Medical Disclaimer, and our Editorial Policy, each of which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, you must immediately discontinue all use of the Services.

2. Eligibility; No Use by Minors

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is greater). By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you (a) are at least 18 years old; (b) have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; and (c) are not prohibited from using the Services under applicable law. If you are using the Services on behalf of another person (for example, a family member or patient you are caring for), you represent that you have the authority to do so and to bind that person to these Terms.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from, or provide the Services to, children under 13. See our Privacy Policy for more.

3. Nature of the Services; Not Medical Advice

CancerDrs is an educational patient-navigation resource that aggregates publicly available data from federal and other authoritative sources (including ClinicalTrials.gov, the NPI Registry, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the National Cancer Institute, and SEER) and publishes explanatory content that links to primary sources. The Services are intended to help patients, caregivers, and the general public orient themselves within the cancer-care landscape.

The Services do not constitute medical, clinical, diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic, legal, financial, insurance, or other professional advice, and are not a substitute for the advice of a licensed physician, attorney, or other qualified professional. Your use of the Services does not create a physician-patient, attorney-client, or any other fiduciary or professional relationship between you and MiniGig LLC, any of our personnel, any reviewer, author, or contributor, or any physician, institution, trial sponsor, or organization listed or referenced on the Site. See our Medical Disclaimer for additional information.

4. Assumption of Risk; No Reliance

You acknowledge and agree that all decisions regarding your health, diagnosis, treatment, clinical-trial participation, provider selection, second opinions, medical records, or any other medical matter are solely your responsibility and the responsibility of your licensed treating clinicians. You assume all risks associated with your use of any information, listing, link, tool, or resource obtained through the Services, and you agree that you will not rely on the Services as the sole basis for any such decision. You will independently verify any factual claim, eligibility criterion, contact detail, credential, designation, quality metric, or statistic directly with the primary source or the relevant provider before acting.

5. AI-Assisted Content

Portions of the content on the Site are drafted with the assistance of artificial-intelligence tools and reviewed against primary sources before publication. Notwithstanding our editorial process, AI-assisted content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. You acknowledge that AI-assisted content is provided on an "as is" basis and that you will independently verify any material fact before acting on it.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:

  • use the Services in violation of any federal, state, local, or international law, regulation, or rule;
  • submit false, misleading, defamatory, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful content through any form, email, or other contact channel;
  • impersonate any person or entity, including any physician, reviewer, contributor, or representative of MiniGig LLC;
  • misuse information about identifiable providers, patients, or third parties;
  • scrape, crawl, spider, harvest, cache, mirror, data-mine, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise systematically extract content from the Services, whether by manual or automated means, except for a narrow use of publicly available federal data sources that are separately available from the original source;
  • bypass, disable, or interfere with any security, authentication, rate-limit, robots.txt directive, or access-control feature of the Services;
  • introduce any virus, worm, malware, or other malicious code, or engage in any denial-of-service or similar attack;
  • use the Services to solicit, advertise, or market to other users without our prior written consent;
  • aggregate, resell, sublicense, distribute, or make the content of the Services available to any third party as a standalone product, directory, or data feed;
  • train any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model using content from the Services without our prior written consent;
  • frame, mirror, or deep-link to the Services in a manner that misrepresents the source or that removes or obscures our attributions, disclaimers, or branding; or
  • use the Services in a manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site or interfere with any other party's use of the Site.

We may investigate and take any legal action we deem appropriate against any violation of these Terms, including suspending or terminating your access, reporting the violation to law-enforcement authorities, and seeking injunctive relief and damages.

7. User Submissions

If you submit content through the Services — including, without limitation, a care-match quiz response, contact-form message, listing inquiry, correction request, survivor story, caregiver account, photograph, or any other material you send us by form or email (collectively, "User Submissions") — the following terms apply:

  • License grant. You grant MiniGig LLC a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, cache, reproduce, publish, display, adapt, modify, translate, excerpt, create derivative works of, distribute, and otherwise use your User Submission, in whole or in part, in any media now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose related to the operation, improvement, promotion, or marketing of the Services.
  • Attribution. We may publish User Submissions with your first name, last initial, city and state, diagnosis or role (e.g., "patient", "caregiver"), and the date of submission. We are not obligated to attribute you and may anonymize, abridge, or edit submissions for clarity, length, accuracy, or compliance.
  • Representations. You represent and warrant that your User Submission is truthful, is your own original work or has been lawfully authorized for submission, does not violate any third party's rights (including privacy, publicity, copyright, trademark, or right of publicity), and does not contain protected health information of any third party.
  • No obligation to publish. We have no obligation to publish, retain, or make available any User Submission and may remove, refuse to publish, or require revision of any submission at any time without notice.
  • No confidentiality. User Submissions are not confidential. Do not submit anything you do not want made public. Do not submit personally identifying information of third parties without their consent.

8. Provider Listings; Directory Inclusion; Corrections

Physician, oncologist, cancer-center, hospital, and clinical-trial listings are compiled from public data sets and, in some cases, voluntary submissions. Inclusion of any provider, institution, trial, or service in the directory does not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or certification, nor does it imply any affiliation, partnership, referral relationship, or endorsement between MiniGig LLC and the listed party. Designations shown (such as NCI-Designated Cancer Center status, CMS star ratings, or board specialties) are shown with citation to the authoritative source.

If you believe a listing contains an error, is out of date, or should be removed, please email [email protected]. We will evaluate requests but are under no obligation to modify or remove content that is factually accurate and sourced from a public authority.

9. Sponsored Placements and Advertising

Certain listings on the Site are paid placements and are clearly marked as "Sponsored", "Featured", "Advertisement", or a similar label consistent with the Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255). Payment of a sponsorship fee does not affect the factual directory data that we publish about any physician, institution, trial, or service, does not buy a favorable review, and does not influence our editorial content. Payment of a sponsorship fee also does not reduce, soften, hide, or otherwise modify any CMS Open Payments, NPI Registry, CMS Hospital Compare, or other federal-agency disclosure we republish about the sponsor or any party affiliated with the sponsor: transparency data is displayed with identical treatment for sponsors and non-sponsors. See our Editorial Policy.

Listing and sponsorship fees, where applicable, are flat-fee subscriptions set in advance and not tied to the volume, value, or outcome of referrals, in a manner intended to comply with the safe harbor for referral services under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute at 42 C.F.R. § 1001.952(f). You acknowledge that we are not a referral service as between patient and physician, and that our provision of information is not a recommendation of any particular provider.

10. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Services

The Services may contain affiliate links to third-party services (for example, medical-records-retrieval platforms, virtual second-opinion services, patient navigation and advocacy services, insurance-appeal tools, genetic-testing services, or other third-party products). If you click an affiliate link and engage with the third-party service, we may receive a commission or referral fee at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on the page where they appear and never influence which services we include or what we publish about them.

Third-party services are operated by independent parties under their own terms and privacy policies. MiniGig LLC does not control and is not responsible for any third-party service, including its content, pricing, data-handling practices, availability, accuracy, or performance. Any transaction you enter into with a third-party service is solely between you and that third party.

11. Third-Party Data; Public-Domain Government Works

The Services republish, transform, and link to data sets compiled by agencies and instrumentalities of the United States government, including the U.S. National Library of Medicine (ClinicalTrials.gov), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (NPI Registry, Hospital Compare, and the CMS Open Payments database established by the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7h), the National Cancer Institute, SEER, and the FDA. United States federal-government works are not subject to copyright in the United States (17 U.S.C. § 105). The underlying agencies retain any rights they may have in their compilations, trademarks, or service marks. We make reasonable efforts to aggregate such data accurately, but we do not warrant its currency, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose.

12. Physician-Payment Transparency Data

Certain pages of the Services present payment-disclosure data for U.S. physicians sourced from the CMS Open Payments database. Those figures are reported to CMS by pharmaceutical and medical-device manufacturers pursuant to their statutory obligation under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act. MiniGig LLC publishes the federal figures as a neutral republisher:

  • No editorial judgment of any named physician. Our pages present factual figures as disclosed to CMS. They do not, and are not intended to, characterize any individual physician as having a conflict of interest, a kickback, corruption, self-dealing, or any wrongdoing. The presence or absence of disclosed payments is not, on its own, a conflict of interest.
  • Dispute process is with CMS, not with MiniGig LLC. If a named physician believes a figure is wrong, incomplete, misattributed, or otherwise inaccurate, the exclusive process for correcting that figure is the CMS Open Payments review-and-dispute workflow, which is defined by federal regulation and requires the reporting manufacturer to submit the correction to CMS. MiniGig LLC is not empowered to alter the CMS record and is not the appropriate party to adjudicate the accuracy of any federal-agency disclosure. Our next data refresh adopts any corrections CMS publishes.
  • Categorical exclusions for accuracy. We exclude "Associated Research" entries (which represent payments routed to an institution where the physician is named as a principal investigator but did not personally receive the money) and "Ownership/investment" entries (which represent equity value, not payments received) from per-physician "largest payer" totals, because including them would create a materially inaccurate impression of money received by the individual.
  • Reliance on truth as a defense. Every figure shown is a verbatim republication of a federal-agency disclosure and links to its primary source. Federal-agency disclosures published under the Sunshine Act are a matter of public record (17 U.S.C. § 105).
  • Not medical advice; not a quality ranking. Payment-transparency content is informational context only. It is not a ranking, evaluation, grade, or recommendation about any physician. It must not be used as a sole basis to select, avoid, disparage, or report any physician. See our Medical Disclaimer.

Requests from physicians, their representatives, counsel, public-relations firms, or agents that ask MiniGig LLC to alter, suppress, or remove accurately republished federal-agency payment disclosures — outside the CMS dispute process — will be declined. Nothing in this Section limits any right a physician has to pursue a correction through CMS, and nothing in this Section waives any statutory or common-law protection (including fair report, statutory privilege, and truth as a complete defense to defamation) available to MiniGig LLC as a republisher of public-agency disclosures.

13. Intellectual Property

All original content appearing on the Site, including text we write, imagery we license or commission, design, layout, user-interface elements, source code, data compilations, the CancerDrs name, the CancerDrs logo, and all related trade names, trademarks, service marks, and trade dress (collectively, the "MiniGig LLC Content"), is owned by or licensed to MiniGig LLC and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade-dress, patent, and unfair-competition laws. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, nothing in the Services grants you any license or right in the MiniGig LLC Content.

You are granted a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and view the MiniGig LLC Content for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. Any other use — including reproduction, modification, distribution, public display, public performance, or commercial exploitation — is strictly prohibited without our prior written consent.

14. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

We respect the intellectual-property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. If you believe that content on the Site infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated agent that includes the information required under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  • a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent;
  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
  • identification of the allegedly infringing material and sufficient information for us to locate it (including a URL);
  • your contact information (address, phone, email);
  • a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Send notices to our designated DMCA agent: [email protected], or by mail to MiniGig LLC, 2129 FM 2920 SUITE 190-249, Spring, Texas 77388, USA. We may remove or disable access to material alleged to infringe and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

15. Privacy

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and the choices available to you.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, DATA, LISTINGS, LINKS, TOOLS, AND FORMS, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MINIGIG LLC, ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "MINIGIG LLC PARTIES") DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE MINIGIG LLC PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; THAT ANY LISTING, CREDENTIAL, DESIGNATION, METRIC, ELIGIBILITY CRITERION, STATISTIC, TRIAL STATUS, CONTACT DETAIL, OR OTHER INFORMATION IS ACCURATE, CURRENT, OR COMPLETE; THAT ANY PROVIDER, INSTITUTION, OR TRIAL LISTED WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS OR ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR MEDICAL OR FINANCIAL OUTCOME; OR THAT AI-ASSISTED CONTENT IS FREE OF ERROR, BIAS, OR OMISSION. ANY RELIANCE YOU PLACE ON THE SERVICES IS STRICTLY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent the law of your jurisdiction does not permit the foregoing exclusions, they apply to you only to the maximum extent permitted.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF THE MINIGIG LLC PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOST GOODWILL, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, MEDICAL EXPENSES, COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, PERSONAL INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, PAIN AND SUFFERING, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, NON-TREATMENT, CLINICAL-TRIAL PARTICIPATION OR NON-PARTICIPATION, PROVIDER SELECTION, SECOND OPINION, OR OTHER HEALTH-RELATED DECISION, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE), AND EVEN IF ANY MINIGIG LLC PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE MINIGIG LLC PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT, IF ANY, YOU HAVE PAID TO MINIGIG LLC IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages or for certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

18. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the MiniGig LLC Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expert fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your User Submissions; (c) your violation of these Terms or any representation, warranty, or covenant you made under these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law or any right of a third party, including any healthcare provider, patient, or institution; (e) any medical, legal, financial, or other decision you or any person you act for make in reliance on the Services; and (f) any dispute between you and any third party (including any provider, institution, trial sponsor, or affiliate service) arising from or related to the Services.

We reserve the right, at our expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate with our defense. You may not settle any claim without our prior written consent.

19. Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Jury-Trial Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It requires you and MiniGig LLC to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration and waives the right to a jury trial and to participate in class or representative actions.

  1. Informal resolution. Before initiating arbitration, you and MiniGig LLC agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days after written notice of the dispute. Notice to MiniGig LLC must be sent to [email protected] and must describe the nature of the claim and the relief sought.
  2. Agreement to arbitrate. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services, these Terms, or the relationship between you and MiniGig LLC, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.) governs this arbitration agreement.
  3. Class-action and representative-action waiver. You and MiniGig LLC agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable, the entirety of this Section 19 shall be null and void.
  4. Jury-trial waiver. You and MiniGig LLC each knowingly, voluntarily, and irrevocably waive the right to a trial by jury in any action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services.
  5. Venue and procedure. Arbitration shall be conducted in the county of MiniGig LLC's principal place of business, or by telephone or videoconference if you so request, unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  6. Small-claims exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court for disputes within the court's jurisdiction.
  7. Injunctive relief exception. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual-property rights or confidential information pending resolution of the arbitration.
  8. 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of opt-out to [email protected] within thirty (30) days after you first become subject to these Terms, stating your name, email address, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration.

20. Governing Law; Venue

These Terms and any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the federal laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 19, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall lie in the state and federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in those courts.

21. Termination; Suspension

We may, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, suspend, restrict, terminate, or revoke your access to all or any portion of the Services at any time, for any reason or no reason, including for any suspected violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, and 25 survive any termination of these Terms.

22. Force Majeure

MiniGig LLC shall not be liable for any delay, interruption, or failure in the performance of the Services resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics or epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions or orders, labor disputes, utility or internet-service failures, denial-of-service attacks, cyber incidents, or the acts or omissions of third-party service providers.

23. Modifications to the Terms and Services

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" above and, where appropriate, notify you by posting a notice on the Site or by email. Your continued use of the Services after the Effective Date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Services. We also reserve the right, at any time and without notice, to modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Services.

24. Severability; No Waiver; Assignment; Entire Agreement

  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent; any attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing is void. MiniGig LLC may freely assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Medical Disclaimer, and Editorial Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and MiniGig LLC regarding the Services and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings, whether written or oral.
  • No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
  • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.

25. Statute of Limitations

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action accrues, or it is permanently barred.

26. Contact

Questions about these Terms should be directed to [email protected] or by mail to MiniGig LLC, 2129 FM 2920 SUITE 190-249, Spring, Texas 77388, USA.
