US HealthConnect, Inc. Web Sites - Terms and Conditions of Use

These Terms and Conditions govern the manner in which we collect, use, maintain and disclose information collected from users (“User”) of any of our websites (“Sites”). These Terms and Conditions apply to each of the Sites and all products and services offered by U.S. HealthConnect, Inc. and its affiliates.

Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern the manner in which we collect, use, maintain and disclose information collected from users (“User”) of any of our websites (“Sites”). These Terms and Conditions apply to each of the Sites and all products and services offered by U.S. HealthConnect, Inc. and its affiliates.

Information on our Sites

The material on our Sites consists of information intended for health care professionals. Our Sites do not provide medical advice, nor are they designed to provide information for non-health care professionals upon which any decision of any kind, medical or otherwise, should be based. Consumers and other users who are not health care providers should refer to their own health care professionals or, if appropriate, seek emergency medical care, to address their own concerns, issues, symptoms, or other questions. Health care professionals must rely upon their own clinical and professional judgment before taking any action or rendering any advice of any kind regarding information contained on our Sites. To put it more succinctly, if you are a patient or prospective patient, our Sites are not a substitute for professional medical care. If you take action or seek treatment based upon a website without consulting with a medical professional or emergency medical care, then you likely have larger issues which we cannot possibly address here or anywhere. If you are a health care professional, our Sites do not substitute for your own professional judgment and if you believe that referring to a website will somehow make a malpractice claim suddenly go away then you are deluding yourself.

Use License

Unless otherwise expressly specified, you are permitted to temporarily download one copy of the materials (information or software) on our Sites for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not: modify or copy the materials; use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial); attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained on our Sites; remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials; or transfer the materials to another person or “mirror” the materials on any other server. 

This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by US HealthConnect, Inc. at any time. Upon terminating your viewing of these materials or upon the termination of this license, you must destroy any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed format.

By participating in a live event, you grant US HealthConnect and its designees the right to photograph, record and/or videotape you at such event and further to display, edit, alter, retouch, use, reproduce, distribute, display, publish and/or otherwise exploit, including prepare derivative works based upon, your name, face, likeness, voice, and appearance, in all media, whether now known or hereafter devised, (including in computer or other device applications, online webcasts, television programming, motion pictures, films, newspapers, and magazines) and in all forms including digitized images or video, forever, whether for advertising, publicity, training, or promotional, sale or resale or any other commercial purposes, including publication of the event, including social and other forms of on-line media, without compensation or further approval, all to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Once again, the Sites are not a substitute for appropriate medical care, and there is no medical advice offered hereby.

Communications on the Sites

The Sites may utilize various methods for communications between other users, health care providers, vendors, and third parties, such as forums, chatrooms, messaging or electronic mail.

We reserve the right to take over the exclusive defense of any claim for which we are entitled to indemnification. In such event, you shall provide us with such cooperation as is reasonably requested by us.
  7. No physician-patient relationship can be created via the use of the Sites. Not even a protracted chatroom dialogue or extended message thread on any of our Sites constitutes medical advice of any kind. Once again, there is no substitute for a face-to-face medical examination or emergency room visit.
  8. We reserve the right to record, edit, remove any content, as well as investigate any allegation that a post does not conform to law or these terms and conditions.
