Last updated: April 3, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by Altura Cancer Research (“Altura,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including any content, materials, information, forms, updates, and services made available through the website.
By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the website.
1. Who we are
Altura Cancer Research operates this website.
Altura Cancer Research
12620 FM 1960 West, Suite A4-118
Houston TX 77065
281-800-9607
2. Use of the website
You may use this website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You agree not to:
1. use the website in any way that violates applicable law or regulation
2. interfere with or disrupt the website or its security
3. attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, servers, accounts, or systems
4. copy, scrape, harvest, or extract website content in a manner that is unauthorized or abusive
5. use the website to transmit malicious code, spam, or unlawful material
6. misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us or submitting information
7. use the website in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the website or interfere with another user’s use
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the website at any time if we believe these Terms have been violated or if necessary to protect the website, Altura, or others.
3. Website content
The website and its contents are provided for general informational purposes only.
Content on the website may include information about Altura’s mission, research interests, scientific themes, platform concepts, collaboration interests, publications, updates, and related materials. While we aim to present information carefully, we do not guarantee that all content is complete, current, or error-free.
Altura may update, revise, remove, or change website content at any time without notice.
4. No medical advice
This website does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or clinical decision support.
Nothing on this website should be understood as medical advice, a substitute for professional medical judgment, or a recommendation for any patient’s care. You should not rely on website content for medical diagnosis or treatment decisions.
If you are a patient or caregiver seeking medical advice, you should consult a qualified physician or other licensed healthcare professional.
This clause is especially important for a cancer-research site because U.S. health-privacy and health-information rules distinguish between research/informational activity and the handling of identifiable health information in regulated care contexts. HIPAA’s Privacy Rule protects individually identifiable health information handled by covered entities and business associates, and its scope is specific rather than universal.
5. Research and scientific content
The website may contain scientific, technical, or research-related content, including descriptions of research areas, biomarker-related concepts, therapeutic hypotheses, resistance mechanisms, or investigational ideas.
Such content is provided for general informational and discussion purposes only. It may be preliminary, incomplete, evolving, or subject to scientific uncertainty. The inclusion of any research topic, mechanism, pathway, biomarker, therapeutic concept, or scientific interpretation on the website does not mean that it is validated, clinically proven, safe, effective, available, or suitable for any particular use.
Any scientific or research-related content should be interpreted in context and, where appropriate, reviewed by qualified experts.
6. No submission of sensitive or patient-identifiable information through general website forms
Unless we specifically request otherwise through an appropriate secure and authorized process, you should not send patient-identifiable information, medical records, protected health information, or other sensitive personal data to Altura through general website forms or ordinary email.
If Altura engages in research, data, or institutional collaborations involving health-related information, those activities are expected to occur under appropriate legal, technical, and organizational safeguards. HHS guidance explains that HIPAA protections apply to identifiable protected health information handled by regulated entities, and de-identified data may be treated differently when legal standards are met.
7. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website and its contents, including text, design, layout, graphics, branding, logos, visual materials, downloads, and other content, are owned by Altura or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may view and use the website for your own lawful informational purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, or commercially exploit website content without our prior written permission, except as permitted by law.
Altura Cancer Research, its name, logo, slogans, and related branding may not be used without permission.
8. Feedback and submissions
If you send us ideas, suggestions, comments, feedback, proposals, or other materials through the website or by email, we may use that information to review, respond, improve our work, or evaluate potential collaboration opportunities.
Please do not send confidential, proprietary, patient-identifiable, or sensitive materials unless we have agreed in advance on an appropriate process and protections.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, unsolicited submissions are not treated as confidential.
9. Third-party links and services
The website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, services, or resources. Those links are provided for convenience only.
Altura does not control and is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, security, availability, or terms of third-party services. Your use of third-party websites is subject to their own terms and policies.
10. Privacy
Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and handle personal data.
Please review our Privacy Policy carefully.
Where applicable law requires it, including in the EU and UK, privacy notices should explain how personal data is processed and should be presented clearly and accessibly.
11. Cookies and analytics
The website may use cookies and similar technologies, including analytics tools, as described in our Privacy Policy and any cookie notice or preference tool made available on the website.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies, including certain analytics or marketing technologies, will be used only with appropriate consent. EU and UK guidance treats this as a separate compliance issue that should not be handled only through general terms text.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
The website and all content made available through it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Altura disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, or availability.
We do not warrant that:
1. the website will always be available, secure, or error-free
2. defects will be corrected
3. the website or servers are free from viruses or other harmful components
4. website content is complete, accurate, or current
5. use of the website will meet your expectations or requirements
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Altura and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, business opportunity, or other intangible losses arising out of or related to:
1. your use of or inability to use the website
2. your reliance on website content
3. any unauthorized access to or use of systems or data
4. any interruption, delay, error, or omission in website operation
5. any third-party content or services linked from the website
If, despite the foregoing, Altura is found liable to you for any claim arising from your use of the website, Altura’s total liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law and, if required, no more than one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Altura and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to:
1. your use of the website
2. your violation of these Terms
3. your infringement of any rights of another person or entity
4. information you submit through the website
15. Availability and changes
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time, with or without notice.
We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the website after updated Terms are posted means you accept the revised Terms, unless applicable law requires a different form of notice or consent.
16. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Subject to applicable law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the website will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in USA, Houston TX, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
If local law gives you mandatory rights or protections that cannot be limited by this clause, those rights will continue to apply.
17. International users
The website may be accessed from countries outside the United States.
If you access the website from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for complying with local laws to the extent they apply. If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws, as described in our Privacy Policy. GDPR can apply to organizations outside Europe when they target or offer services to people in the EU.
18. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
19. Entire agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Altura regarding your use of the website.
