Terms of Service
Last updated: September 3, 2026 · Version 1.2
1. What Atlas CME Is
Atlas CME is an independent continuing medical education (CME) tracker and professional credentialing document-organization tool available through our website and iOS app. It helps physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers organize, track, and report their CME activities and prepare credentialing information in one place.
Atlas CME is not a CME provider, accrediting body, or credentialing organization. It does not issue CME certificates, grant credit hours, or certify compliance with any medical board or licensing authority.
2. Not a Substitute for Professional Verification
Atlas CME is a convenience tool designed to help you stay organized. It is not a substitute for verifying your CME requirements directly with your state medical board, hospital credentialing office, or any other regulatory body.
You are ultimately responsible for ensuring you meet all CME requirements for your licenses and credentials. Always verify requirements and compliance status directly with the relevant authority before relying on information displayed in Atlas CME.
3. AI-Assisted Data Extraction
Atlas CME uses artificial intelligence to extract information from certificates you upload or forward via email. While we strive for accuracy, AI-extracted data may contain errors including but not limited to:
- Incorrect activity titles, dates, or issuing organizations
- Inaccurate credit hour amounts or category assignments
- Misidentification of certificate types or formats
- Failure to detect all activities on multi-activity certificates
Atlas may add high-confidence extracted data to your record automatically and sends uncertain or complex certificates for review. You are responsible for checking your CME record and correcting any errors.
4. CME Requirements Disclaimer
Atlas CME may display CME requirements for your state or organization. Some of these requirements are generated using AI research and may not reflect the most current requirements. Requirements can change at any time based on legislative, regulatory, or organizational updates.
Where AI-generated requirements are displayed, they will be clearly marked. We make reasonable efforts to keep this information current but cannot guarantee its accuracy. Always verify requirements directly with your state medical board or credentialing body.
5. Your Responsibilities
By using Atlas CME, you agree to:
- Only submit CME activities you have personally completed
- Check your CME record and correct inaccurate AI-extracted data, including entries added automatically
- Not rely solely on Atlas CME for compliance verification
- Keep your profile information (license states, renewal dates, specialty) up to date
- Not share your account credentials or personal forwarding email address with others
- Not submit fraudulent, falsified, or misleading CME documentation
- Only upload files and information you have the right to store and use
- Not upload patient charts, patient records, or information that identifies a patient
6. Data Privacy
Atlas CME stores your personal information, CME records, and uploaded certificates securely. We use industry-standard encryption and access controls. Your data is used only to provide the Atlas CME service and is never sold to third parties.
Uploaded certificates are stored in private cloud storage. AI extraction is performed using a third-party AI service; certificate content is transmitted securely for processing and is handled under the provider's commercial API data controls and retention policy.
If you are part of an organization on Atlas CME, your organization's administrators may be able to view your compliance status (hours completed vs. required). They cannot view your uploaded certificates or detailed activity records unless you explicitly share them.
7. Credentialing Vault
The Credentialing Vault is an organization and document-preparation tool. Atlas CME is not a credentialing organization and does not verify that a vault entry, packet, disclosure, or supporting document will satisfy a hospital, payer, employer, licensing authority, or other recipient. You are responsible for reviewing every packet and deciding what to include before you send it.
Vault content may include sensitive information about you. Do not use the Credentialing Vault for patient records or patient protected health information. You are responsible for having the right to upload and share every document and third-party contact detail you provide.
8. Reports and Exports
Reports and credentialing packets are generated from the information in your Atlas CME account. They may be incomplete or inaccurate if your records are incomplete, pending review, or entered incorrectly. Review every generated file before relying on it or sending it to another person or organization. Once you export or share a file, the destination you choose controls that copy.
9. Subscriptions and Purchases
Atlas CME may offer free features and paid Pro subscriptions. The features, billing period, localized price, and any trial terms are shown before you confirm a purchase. Website purchases are processed by Stripe. Purchases made in the iOS app are processed by Apple through your App Store account and are subject to Apple's payment and subscription terms.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through the provider that billed you.
- You can review your subscription status and reach the appropriate management option from Settings.
- Apple purchases can be restored from the iOS app when you are signed in to the matching Atlas CME account.
- Deleting your Atlas CME account does not itself cancel an Apple subscription; manage or cancel it through Apple.
- Refunds are handled under the policies of Apple or Stripe, as applicable.
A paid subscription grants access to the applicable Atlas CME features; it does not guarantee any licensing, compliance, reimbursement, employment, or credentialing outcome. If two billing providers appear active for the same Atlas CME account, we may temporarily place billing changes under review while preserving access that has already been verified.
10. Account Deletion and Suspension
You may delete your Atlas CME account from Settings. Some accounts cannot be self-deleted until an organization-admin responsibility is transferred. Deletion removes the active account and its private Atlas data, subject to the limited retention described in our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate access for fraud, abuse, security threats, unlawful use, or a material violation of these terms.
11. Limitation of Liability
Atlas CME is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any information provided is complete or accurate.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Atlas CME and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of licensure, credentialing denials, financial losses, or professional consequences arising from:
- Errors in AI-extracted data
- Inaccurate or outdated CME requirements
- Service interruptions or data loss
- Reliance on Atlas CME for compliance decisions
- Errors or omissions in generated reports or credentialing packets
- A recipient's rejection of credentialing information or documents
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the Atlas CME application. Your continued use of the service after such notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
