Effective Date: 2026-08-25 · Version: 2026-08-25
This is what the BenchForge consultant designation means. Accepting this agreement is the designation — there is no other criterion, no exam, and no assessment of your work. Read it before you accept: it is short, and every clause in it is one we would rely on.
You remain an independent practitioner. This agreement does not make you an employee, agent, partner or representative of HelixWrks LLC, and it grants no authority to act or speak on our behalf.
We do not endorse your advice. The designation says you have accepted these terms. It is not a certification of competence, a qualification, or a warranty to your clients about the quality of your work. Do not present it as one.
You may say you are a designated BenchForge consultant and that you work in BenchForge with your clients.
You may not describe yourself as certified, accredited, licensed, endorsed, partnered, affiliated, authorised or employed by us, nor imply that we vouch for your recommendations. You may not use our name or marks in a way that suggests any of those things — including in proposals, on a website, or in a pitch.
Each client lab grants you access to their workspace. That access is theirs to give and theirs to withdraw, and what is inside it is theirs.
The rule is about disclosure, not about what you may think or compute. Three categories, and the difference between them is the whole clause:
(a) Their figures are theirs. You must not disclose one client's data, volumes, rates, costs, payer mix or any other identifiable figure to another client, or to anyone else, without that client's written consent. This holds in the product and outside it, whether or not a file is copied, and whether or not you name them — if the client can be worked out, it is identifiable.
(b) Your models are yours. A workflow, model, template or method you authored is your work product. You may reuse it, adapt it and share it with any client, including through the sharing features in the product, provided it carries no figure caught by (a). Building a model with one client does not make that model theirs.
(c) You may look across your own book. You already hold access to each of your clients' workspaces. Ranking or comparing them for your own use — including anything the product computes for you, such as a median across your clients — discloses nothing to anyone and is permitted. What you may not do is show one client a figure derived from another's, or present a comparison from which another client can be identified, without that client's written consent.
Aggregate professional judgement you develop across engagements remains yours. Their identifiable figures do not.
Your engagement is between you and your client. You are responsible for your own advice, your own contracts, your own insurance and your own compliance. Nothing you produce in BenchForge is reviewed, validated or approved by us.
No PHI. BenchForge is not a clinical system and must not be used to capture protected health information. This applies to you in every workspace you enter.
Listing and referral where we operate one, partner materials, and any consultant-only surfaces in the product. These are provided as-is and may change or stop at any time. Nothing here is a promise of work, of leads, or of revenue.
The designation costs nothing, and gives you no discount and no commission. Your seat in a client's workspace is free — the lab pays for its own workspace. What you charge your clients is entirely your business, and we take no share of it.
Either of us may end this agreement at any time, for any reason, effective immediately. We do not have to give notice or a reason, though we will record one.
Ending this agreement does not remove your access to any client lab. Those memberships were granted by each lab and only that lab can withdraw them. Conversely, a client removing you does not by itself end this agreement.
On termination you must stop describing yourself as a designated BenchForge consultant immediately.
What survives. Section 3 (client confidentiality), the no-PHI obligation in Section 4, and the obligation in this section to stop describing yourself as designated continue to apply after this agreement ends, for as long as the information remains confidential. Ending the agreement ends the designation, not your duties to the labs that let you in.
Separately from this agreement, we may ban an account from the platform entirely — including workspaces you own. That is a rare, total action reserved for conduct we judge to put other users or the service at risk. Where we do, we will package the data from workspaces you solely own so it can be returned to you.
We may publish a new version of this agreement. Where a new version materially changes your obligations we will ask you to accept it in the product, and the designation pauses until you do — acceptance is what the designation is, so it would be incoherent for us to move it without you. For changes that do not affect your obligations, continued use after we notify you is acceptance.
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pima County, Arizona — the same forum as the Terms of Use, so that one dispute cannot be split across two.
You accept this agreement in the product, and we record the version and date. If any provision is unenforceable the remainder stands.
Precedence. This document governs the designation only. Your own use of the Service — including any workspace you own — is governed by the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which control in the event of any conflict. Nothing here varies the terms between HelixWrks and any lab that has invited you.
