Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of the Not By Chance Life LLC website, the Not By Chance Life Knowledge Center, NBCL Connect, and related online services that link to these Terms.

By accessing or using the applicable website, platform, or service, you agree to use it in accordance with these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations.

About Not By Chance Life

Not By Chance Life provides regulatory education, scientific education, documentation guidance, professional education, documentation transparency resources, and technology designed to support structured professional evaluation and communication.

Not By Chance Life is not a medical practice and does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, or patient-specific clinical care through the website, Knowledge Center, or NBCL Connect.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, educational materials and platform functions are provided for informational, educational, documentation, and professional workflow purposes.

Educational Use of the Knowledge Center

The Not By Chance Life Knowledge Center provides educational information concerning topics that may include federal regulation of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps), documentation evaluation, tissue science, scientific literature, and related professional topics.

Educational content is intended to improve regulatory, scientific, and documentation literacy. It should not be interpreted as individualized legal, regulatory, medical, or clinical advice.

Regulatory requirements, FDA guidance, scientific evidence, supplier documentation, and educational interpretation are distinct sources of information and should be evaluated according to their appropriate context.

NBCL Connect

NBCL Connect is a professional evaluation management platform designed to support structured interactions among authorized healthcare professionals, organizations, and other approved professional participants.

Platform functions may include professional qualification, organization discovery, evaluation workflows, professional connection requests, documentation coordination, communications, meeting coordination, tasks, notifications, and management of ongoing professional relationships.

NBCL Connect provides infrastructure for professional evaluation and communication. It does not make clinical decisions, purchasing decisions, regulatory determinations, or professional decisions on behalf of platform participants.

Professional Qualification and Access

Certain areas or functions of NBCL Connect may be restricted to qualified or authorized professional participants.

Users may be required to provide accurate professional, organizational, or contact information so that Not By Chance Life can evaluate eligibility for the applicable level of platform access.

Users agree not to misrepresent their identity, professional status, credentials, organization, authority, or affiliation.

Not By Chance Life may approve, deny, restrict, suspend, or revoke platform access when reasonably necessary to protect platform integrity, security, participants, or compliance with these Terms.

Platform qualification or access authorization does not constitute endorsement of a participant, validation by a governmental authority, or a determination regarding professional competence, product suitability, regulatory status, or clinical appropriateness.

User Accounts

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their account credentials and for activity occurring through their accounts.

You agree to provide accurate information when creating or maintaining an account and to update information when reasonably necessary to keep it accurate.

You may not impersonate another person, share access in a manner that defeats platform security controls, attempt to obtain another user's credentials, or access an account without authorization.

Suspected unauthorized account access should be reported promptly to info@notbychance.life.

Professional Relationships and Connections

NBCL Connect may allow authorized participants to initiate and manage professional evaluations, requests, connections, and ongoing professional relationships.

Participants remain independently responsible for deciding whether to communicate with, evaluate, engage, purchase from, sell to, contract with, or otherwise establish a professional or commercial relationship with another participant.

The existence of a connection or relationship within NBCL Connect does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, certification, approval, or guarantee by Not By Chance Life.

Platform Neutrality

Not By Chance Life does not use NBCL Connect to make clinical decisions, regulatory determinations, purchasing decisions, or professional judgments on behalf of participants.

The platform is not intended to establish that one participating organization, supplier, product, document, or professional is superior to another solely because of platform participation.

Participation in NBCL Connect does not establish FDA approval, regulatory classification, product suitability, clinical appropriateness, or any other governmental, regulatory, scientific, or clinical conclusion.

Documentation and Documentation Requests

NBCL Connect may facilitate requests for, delivery of, review of, and discussion concerning professional or supplier documentation.

Documentation is made available to support independent professional evaluation. Not By Chance Life does not represent that the existence of a document, documentation package, certificate, report, or other record alone establishes regulatory compliance or regulatory classification.

Participants are responsible for evaluating documentation in the context of applicable laws, regulations, guidance, professional standards, contractual requirements, and other relevant information.

Users are also responsible for ensuring that they have the authority to upload, share, disclose, or otherwise provide documents through the platform.

Supplier and Organization Information

Information concerning participating suppliers or organizations may be provided by those organizations or derived from documentation made available for professional evaluation.

Participants should independently review information relevant to their own professional decisions.

Supplier documentation and platform participation do not by themselves determine whether a product satisfies the requirements of a particular regulatory pathway or is appropriate for a particular use.

Regulatory Information

Certain educational materials may discuss federal statutes, regulations, FDA guidance documents, regulatory definitions, or other governmental materials.

Where applicable, users should consult the current official source because laws, regulations, guidance, interpretations, and governmental publications may change.

Educational explanations provided by Not By Chance Life are intended to assist with understanding regulatory concepts and do not replace the underlying statute, regulation, guidance document, or advice from qualified legal or regulatory professionals.

Scientific Information

The Knowledge Center and related resources may discuss scientific publications, biological concepts, tissue science, preservation science, extracellular matrix biology, cell signaling, extracellular vesicles, proteomics, and other scientific topics.

Scientific literature is provided as educational context. Scientific findings do not independently determine regulatory classification, regulatory compliance, clinical appropriateness, or product suitability.

Research findings should be interpreted according to the design, methods, limitations, population, materials, and context of the underlying publication.

No Medical Advice or Clinical Decision-Making

Information available through Not By Chance Life and NBCL Connect is not a substitute for independent professional medical judgment.

Not By Chance Life does not diagnose disease, prescribe treatment, determine patient eligibility, establish treatment protocols, or make patient-specific clinical decisions through these services.

Healthcare professionals remain solely responsible for their own professional and clinical decisions and for compliance with laws, regulations, licensing requirements, standards of care, and other obligations applicable to their practice.

No Legal or Regulatory Advice

Regulatory and documentation education provided through the website, Knowledge Center, or NBCL Connect is not legal advice.

Users remain responsible for obtaining appropriate legal, regulatory, compliance, scientific, medical, or other professional advice when necessary for their particular circumstances.

Communications and Meetings

NBCL Connect may provide tools that allow authorized participants to exchange messages, coordinate meetings, receive notifications, and maintain records associated with professional relationships.

Participants are responsible for the content of their own communications and for ensuring that communications comply with applicable law, professional obligations, confidentiality requirements, and these Terms.

The scheduling or confirmation of a meeting through NBCL Connect does not constitute endorsement of either participant or agreement by Not By Chance Life to any transaction or professional arrangement discussed during that meeting.

Confidential and Sensitive Information

Users should exercise appropriate judgment before submitting confidential, proprietary, sensitive, patient-related, or restricted information through any online service.

NBCL Connect is not intended to function as an electronic health record, patient portal, or general repository for patient medical records.

Users should not submit protected health information, patient medical records, or patient-identifying clinical information unless a specific service has been expressly designated and appropriately configured to receive such information.
