Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, creating an account on, or using GreenCode (the “Service”), you (“End User” or “you”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

These Terms constitute an End User Agreement as required under GreenCode LLC’s license agreement with the American Medical Association (“AMA”) for CPT® content.

2. Definitions

• “Licensed Content” means the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) Standard Data File published by the American Medical Association, including CPT codes, descriptions, and related data incorporated into the Service.
• “Service” or “Licensed Product” means the GreenCode web application, a surgical coding support tool that incorporates Licensed Content.
• “Territory” means the countries listed in Section 11 of these Terms, as may be updated from time to time.

3. CPT License Grant

CPT® is copyrighted by the American Medical Association. “CPT” is a registered trademark of the AMA.

GreenCode LLC, as a party to a license agreement with the AMA, is authorized to grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Licensed Content in the Service, for the sole purpose of internal use by you within the Territory.

Upon termination or expiration of the agreement between GreenCode LLC and the AMA, GreenCode LLC shall notify you. You shall continue to have the right to use the Licensed Content in the Service for the remainder of the year of the then-current annual release (e.g., through the end of the applicable calendar year) (the “End User Tail Period”). Your continued use of the Licensed Content during the End User Tail Period is subject to your continued compliance with all obligations under these Terms. Upon the expiration of the End User Tail Period, the sublicense granted under these Terms shall automatically terminate.

4. Restrictions on Use

You are prohibited from:

• Making Licensed Content publicly available;
• Creating derivative works of the Licensed Content, including translations;
• Transferring, selling, leasing, licensing, or otherwise making available the Licensed Content, or a copy or portion of the Licensed Content, to any unauthorized party, including a subsidiary, affiliate, or other legal entity, however designated, for any purpose whatsoever except as expressly permitted;
• Systematically downloading, scraping, or bulk-extracting CPT data from the Service;
• Using the Service or Licensed Content outside the Territory.

5. Disclaimers

You expressly acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, use of the Licensed Content is at your sole risk. The Licensed Content is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

The AMA does not directly or indirectly practice medicine or dispense medical services. Fee schedules, relative value units, conversion factors and/or related components are not assigned by the AMA, are not part of CPT, and the AMA is not recommending their use.

The Licensed Content does not replace the AMA’s Current Procedural Terminology book or other appropriate coding authority. The coding information contained in the Licensed Content should be used only as a guide.

6. Data Sharing and Consent

You are required to keep records and submit reports including information necessary for the calculation of royalties payable to the AMA by GreenCode LLC. You consent to the release of such information to the AMA. You further agree to provide, without delay, additional information that the AMA (as a third-party beneficiary) may reasonably request, to verify the information.

Nothing herein shall require you to submit or release information that would cause you to be in violation of applicable federal or state privacy laws.

By using the Service, you consent to GreenCode LLC collecting your name, city, state/province, country, and organization name, and sharing this information with the AMA for royalty reporting and licensing compliance purposes. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.
