EDITORIAL NATURE OF THE PROJECT
Capillaroscopy.com is an educational and editorial initiative focused on nailfold capillaroscopy.
The educational content is developed and reviewed independently by its scientific and advisory team. This editorial independence does not change the legal ownership of the website or the legal responsibility arising from its technical and administrative operation.
PURPOSE AND CONDITIONS OF USE
Accessing this site grants the status of user and implies acceptance of this legal notice.
Users agree to use the site lawfully and in good faith, and not to carry out actions that may damage, overload, disable, or compromise the security of the site, its services, or third parties.
This website is intended for informational and educational purposes only. It does not provide individualized medical advice and does not replace clinical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.
The website, including image viewers, pattern descriptions, example cases, educational algorithms, scoring references, and other learning tools, is not a medical device, clinical decision support system, diagnostic software, or treatment recommendation system. It must not be used to make or automate patient-specific medical decisions.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The texts, images, design, structure, trademarks and other elements are owned by CAPILLARY IO SL or their respective rights holders, or used under authorization. Website operation and contributor credits do not establish ownership of every image.
Only images individually marked CC BY 4.0 are covered by that grant, made by the indicated rights holder. Consult Image licensing and reuse and each image’s record. Their permitted copying, publication, redistribution, adaptation and commercial use require no separate written permission. Restrictions in this notice or elsewhere on extraction, redistribution, publication, commercial use or model training do not override those grants. Third-party licences retain their own conditions.
For images without an individual open licence, the existing educational-use permissions remain limited to their documented scope; they do not establish authorization for broader reuse, publication, model training or commercial exploitation. Obtain permission from the actual rights holder for uses outside that scope, unless permitted by law. Copyright authorization and patient privacy or consent are separate matters.
The new image grants do not license the website’s software, text, logos, interface screenshots, third-party figures, embedded clinical studies or unpublished datasets as a whole. Medical disclaimers describe intended purpose and clinical limitations, not additional copyright conditions on CC-licensed images.
LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES
This site may include links to third-party websites for informational purposes. CAPILLARY IO SL does not control those sites and assumes no responsibility for their content, availability, or legal and privacy policies.
LIABILITY
CAPILLARY IO SL takes reasonable steps to keep the website information updated and to preserve the security and availability of the service, but does not guarantee the absence of errors, interruptions, or occasional technical incidents.
Users access and use the site at their own risk. CAPILLARY IO SL shall not be liable for damages arising from improper use of the site, third-party attacks, failures outside its reasonable control, or the use made by users of the published information.

CHANGES
CAPILLARY IO SL may update this legal notice to reflect legal, technical, or functional changes to the website. The version published at any given time will be the applicable one.
Changes to these terms or removal of an image do not revoke permissions already granted under CC BY 4.0 to recipients who comply with the licence.
