Unless otherwise provided below, the revised terms will take effect when they are posted.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY

GIDEON selects what we believe to be the most outstanding and credible medical material for inclusion in its Services. The editors consult only sources they deem reliable and competent. However, there may be delays, omissions or inaccuracies in such information. This information is not intended to replace professional medical advice and should not be used as the sole basis or diagnosis or therapy.

The Services may include facts, views, opinions and recommendations of individuals and organizations which we believe may be of interest to our subscribers. GIDEON does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of, or otherwise endorse, these view, opinions or recommendations.

GIDEON assumes no liability to patients with respect to the actions of physicians, health care facilities and other users, and is not responsible for any injury, death or damage resulting from the use, misuse or interpretation of information obtained through this program. Therapeutic options listed by the program are limited to published studies and reviews. Therapy should not be undertaken without a thorough assessment of the indications, contraindications and side effects of any prospective drug or intervention. Furthermore, the database is largely derived from incidence and prevalence statistics whose accuracy will vary widely for individual diseases and countries. Changes in endemicity, incidence, and drugs of choice may occur. The list of drugs, infectious diseases and even country names will vary with time. Although we endeavor to include such new information on a timely basis, a delay cannot be avoided.

NEITHER GIDEON NOR ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY MEDICAL SOCIETY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES WHICH ARE LICENSED “AS IS”. GIDEON AND ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND LICENSORS CANNOT AND DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENTNESS, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH GIDEON. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK AS TO THE QUALITY, FUNCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES. NEITHER GIDEON NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS SHALL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY, CAUSED IN WHOLE OR PART BY ITS ACTIONS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE OR CONTINGENCIES BEYOND ITS CONTROL) IN PROCURING, COMPILING, INTERPRETING, REPORTING OR DELIVERING INFORMATION THROUGH GIDEON. IN NO EVENT WILL GIDEON, ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN BY YOU IN RELIANCE ON SUCH INFORMATION. GIDEON AND ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES) EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU AGREE THAT THE LIABILITY OF GIDEON, ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND LICENSORS, IF ANY, ARISING OUT OF ANY KIND OF LEGAL CLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY GIDEON SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO GIDEON FOR THE INFORMATION.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Indemnification.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GIDEON, its officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, co-branders or other partners, from and against any claims, actions, liability, damages and/or demands, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, made by any third party due to or resulting from your use of the Services; your connection to the Services; your violation of the rights of others, these Terms of Service or any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity; and any intellectual property infringement by any other user of your account. These Terms of Service will inure to the benefit of GIDEON’s successors, assigns and licensors.

General Provisions.

You are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws, keeping in mind that access to the Services may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If any part of these Terms of Service is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall be deemed omitted and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. These Terms of Service are personal to you and you may not transfer, assign or delegate these Terms of Service to anyone without the express written permission of GIDEON. Any attempt by you to assign, transfer or delegate these Terms of Service without the express written permission of GIDEON shall be null and void. The paragraph headings in these Terms of Service, shown in boldface type, are included to help make the agreement easier to read and have no binding effect. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and GIDEON with respect to the use of the Services and supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous agreements, written or oral, between the parties regarding such subject matter. These Terms of Service, your rights and obligations, and all actions contemplated by these Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of California, as if it was a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within California, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. Any waiver of any provisions of these Terms of Service will be effective only if in writing signed by GIDEON.
