Enforcement

terms.
The company reserves the right to change, redact, and delete
content on the forum for any reason. If you believe someone has submitted

Your Account
You must create and log into an account to use some features
of the forum.
To create an account, you must provide some information
about yourself. If you create an account, you agree to provide, at a minimum, a
valid e-mail address, and to keep that address up-to-date. You may close your
account at any time by e-mailing MedUseJournal.email.
You agree to be responsible for all action taken using your
account, whether authorized by you or not, until you either close your account
or notify the company that your account has been compromised. You agree to
notify the company immediately if you suspect your account has been
compromised. You agree to select a secure password for your account, and keep
it secret.
The company may restrict, suspend, or close your account on
the forum according to its policy for handling copyright-related takedown
requests, or if the company reasonably believes that you’ve broken any rule in
these terms.
Your Content
Between you and the company, you remain solely responsible
for content you submit to the forum. You agree not to wrongly imply that
content you submit to the forum is sponsored or approved by the company. These
terms do not obligate the company to store, maintain, or provide copies of
content you submit, and to change it, according to these terms.
You license the company to provide content that you submit
to the forum to other users of the forum. That special license allows the
company to copy, publish, analyze, and sell content you submit to the forum.
Those licenses may give others, or the company itself, the right to share your
content through the forum again.
Others who receive content you submit to the forum may
violate the terms on which you license your content. You agree that the company
will not be liable to you for those violations or their consequences.
Your Responsibility
You agree to indemnify the company from legal claims by
others related to your breach of these terms, or breach of these terms by
others using your account on the forum. Both you and the company agree to
notify the other side of any legal claims for which you might have to indemnify
the company as soon as possible. If the company fails to notify you of a legal
claim promptly, you won’t have to indemnify the company for damages that you
could have defended against or mitigated with prompt notice. You agree to allow
the company to control investigation, defense, and settlement of legal claims
for which you would have to indemnify the company, and to cooperate with those
efforts. The company agrees not to agree to any settlement that admits fault
for you or imposes obligations on you without your prior agreement.
Disclaimers
You accept all risk of using the forum and content on
the forum. As far as the law allows, the company and its suppliers provide the
forum as is, without any warranty whatsoever.
The forum may hyperlink to and integrate forums and services
run by others. The company does not make any warranty about services run by
others, or content they may provide. Use of services run by others may be
governed by other terms between you and the one running service.
Limits on Liability
Neither the company nor its suppliers will be liable
to you for breach-of-contract damages their personnel could not have reasonably
foreseen when you agreed to these terms.
Feedback
The company welcomes your feedback and suggestions for the
forum. See the Conact section below for ways to get in touch with us.
You agree that the company will be free to act on feedback
and suggestions you provide, and that the company won’t have to notify you that
your feedback was used, get your permission to use it, or pay you. You agree
not to submit feedback or suggestions that you believe might be confidential or
proprietary, to you or others.
Termination
Either you or the company may end the agreement written out
in these terms at any time. When our agreement ends, your permission to use the
forum also ends.
Disputes
Michigan Law will govern any dispute related to these terms
or your use of the forum.
You and the company agree to seek injunctions related to
these terms only in state or federal court in Washtenaw County. Neither you nor
the company will object to jurisdiction, forum, or venue in those courts.
Other than to seek an injunction or for claims under
the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, you and the company will resolve any Dispute
by binding American Arbitration Association arbitration. Arbitration will
follow the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer Related Disputes. You will settle any dispute as an individual, and
not as part of a class action or other representative proceeding, whether as
the plaintiff or a class member. No arbitrator will consolidate any dispute
with any other arbitration without the company’s permission.
Any arbitration award will include costs of the arbitration,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for witnesses. You and the
company may enter arbitration awards in any court with jurisdiction.
General Terms
If a provision of these terms is unenforceable as written, but
could be changed to make it enforceable, that provision should be modified to
the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. Otherwise, that provision
should be removed.
You may not assign your agreement with the company. The
company may assign your agreement to any affiliate of the company, any other
company that obtains control of the company, or any other company that buys
assets of the company related to the forum. Any attempted assignment against
these terms has no legal effect.
Neither the exercise of any right under this Agreement, nor
waiver of any breach of this Agreement, waives any other breach of this
Agreement.
These terms embody all the terms of agreement between you
and the company about use of the forum. These terms entirely replace any other
agreements about your use of the forum, written or not.

e-mail address you provide for your account on the forum, or by posting a
