Heerio

Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

1. About Heerio

Heerio LLC (“Heerio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a client check-in platform for therapy, medical, and legal practices (the “Services”). Heerio allows clients to check in for appointments using a kiosk tablet, mobile app, or client code. Providers are notified of arrivals via real-time push notifications.

Heerio is not an electronic health record (EHR), a scheduling system, a billing platform, or a clinical tool. It does not store clinical notes, diagnoses, treatment plans, or medical records of any kind.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using Heerio, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you are using Heerio on behalf of a practice or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

3. User Types and Accounts

3.1 Practice Owners

Practice Owners create an account and register their practice on Heerio. As a Practice Owner, you are responsible for:

  • The accuracy of your account and practice information
  • Managing providers and staff within your practice
  • Ensuring your use of Heerio complies with applicable laws, including HIPAA if you are a covered entity
  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials

3.2 Providers

Providers are invited by a Practice Owner to join a practice. Providers can receive check-in notifications and respond to client arrivals. Providers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials.

3.3 Clients/Patients

Clients do not create accounts. Clients check in by providing only their initials (e.g., “J.S.”) and selecting their provider. No full names, dates of birth, or other identifying information is required or collected at check-in.

4. Data and Privacy

4.1 Minimal Data Collection

Heerio is designed to collect the minimum information necessary to facilitate a check-in. The only client information collected at check-in is initials, check-in type (arrived, late, cancelled), and a timestamp. We do not collect full patient names, Social Security numbers, diagnoses, insurance information, or any clinical data.

4.2 Data Ownership

Practice data (including check-in records, provider information, and practice settings) belongs to the practice. Heerio processes this data on behalf of the practice to provide the Services. Upon termination of a practice’s account, the practice may request export or deletion of their data.

4.3 Privacy Policy

Our collection and use of information is described in our Privacy Policy, available at heerio.app/privacy. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

5. HIPAA and Business Associate Agreement

Heerio may act as a Business Associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) when providing Services to healthcare practices that are covered entities.

  • If your practice is a covered entity under HIPAA, Heerio will enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with your practice upon request
  • Heerio maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect any protected health information (PHI) it handles
  • Heerio handles only minimal PHI: client initials and check-in timestamps
  • Heerio does not use or disclose PHI for any purpose other than providing the Services as described in the BAA

Practices remain solely responsible for their own HIPAA compliance, including obtaining any required patient consents and maintaining their own privacy practices.

6. Not a Substitute for Clinical Judgment

Heerio facilitates communication between clients and professionals regarding arrival status only. Nothing in the Heerio platform constitutes clinical advice, supervision, or oversight. Professionals remain solely responsible for all clinical decisions and the care of their clients.

7. Subscription and Billing

Heerio is offered on a monthly subscription basis. Current pricing is listed at heerio.app/pricing.

  • Subscriptions renew monthly on the billing date
  • You may cancel at any time — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period
  • We do not offer refunds for partial months
  • We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days’ notice

8. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Heerio only for its intended purpose. You may not:

  • Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other practices’ data or Heerio’s systems
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Services without written permission
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Services or servers
  • Use the Services to store or transmit clinical notes, diagnoses, or detailed medical records — Heerio is not designed for this purpose
  • Submit false or misleading information

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms.

9. Intellectual Property

Heerio and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by Heerio LLC and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services for your practice’s internal business purposes during the term of your subscription.

10. Service Availability

We strive to maintain reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The Services may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of planned downtime.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Heerio and its officers, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services, including but not limited to:

  • Missed or delayed notifications
  • Service interruptions or downtime
  • Loss of data (beyond what is described in our Disaster Recovery Plan)
  • Any clinical outcome arising from use or non-use of the platform

Heerio’s total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the amount you paid to Heerio in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Heerio LLC, its officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Services
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation
  • Any dispute between you and your clients or patients

13. Account Termination

13.1 By You

You may cancel your subscription and close your account at any time. Upon cancellation, your access continues until the end of the current billing period. After that, your account is deactivated.

13.2 By Heerio

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, fail to pay subscription fees, or if we reasonably believe your use of the Services poses a security risk.

13.3 Effect of Termination

Upon account termination:

  • Your access to the Services is revoked
  • All practice data (check-in records, provider information, settings) is permanently deleted
  • Heerio retains audit logs as required by law

14. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Services shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 30 days, either party may pursue resolution through binding arbitration or in the courts of the State of Maryland.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Services or by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
