U.S. HealthConnect, Inc. (“USHC” or “us” or “we” or “our”) owns and operates the ReachMD network of websites, which includes ReachMD.com, OmniaEducation.com, ProvaEducation.com, GlobalWomensHealthAcademy.org, GlobalNeurologyAcademy.org, GlobalOncologyAcademy.org, RheumatologyAcademy.org, EyeHealthAcademy.org, Medtelligence.net and CrohnsColitisProfessional.org (“Sites”), as well as the ReachMD mobile applications (“Apps”). These Terms and Conditions of Use (“TCU”) govern your use of the Sites and Apps. These TCU apply only to the Sites and Apps identified above. Other sites, apps or content owned or controlled by USHC may have their own terms and conditions of use and should be reviewed.
By using the Sites and Apps, you agree to be bound by these TCU. If you do not agree to be so bound, you are not authorized to use the Sites or Apps. These TCU are a legal contract between you and USHC and govern your access to and use of the Sites and Apps together with any services offered through the Sites and Apps. Your rights to use the Sites and Apps are limited by applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
USHC may also offer promotions, sweepstakes, contests, services or features that have their own terms, and to the extent any portion of those special terms conflict with these TCU, the special terms will govern for that specific portion.
The Sites and Apps are intended for adults 18 years of age or older. By accessing the Sites or using the Apps, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older.
In accordance with 47 U.S.C. § 230, parents should be aware that there are parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) that are commercially available and may assist them in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Examples of some of these protection services include Qustodio, Net Nanny and Kaspersky Safe Kids. Please note that USHC in no way endorses or is responsible for these services.
USHC reserves the right to modify or revise these TCU at any time without notice. You should visit the Sites and Apps from time to time to review the current TCU. By using the Sites or Apps subsequent to any modification of these TCU, you are agreeing to be bound by the modifications in the version of these TCU which is then current.
The material on our Sites and Apps consists of information intended for health care professionals, for educational purposes only. Our Sites and Apps 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 or Apps. To put it more succinctly, if you are a patient or prospective patient, our Sites and Apps 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 and Apps 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.
You agree that you will only use the Sites and Apps for their intended purposes, and not for other commercial ventures without first seeking approval from USHC.
By using the Sites or Apps, you may need to interact with other users of the Sites or Apps. USHC is not responsible for the conduct of any other user who may interact with you, regardless of whether it is done through the Sites or Apps.
Any and all reliance on the Sites or Apps for medical information is done at your own risk. While USHC will try its best to make the content on the Sites and Apps useful, USHC does not warrant that any content on the Sites or Apps will be useful or reliable.
USHC hereby grants you a revocable and nonexclusive right and license to use and access the Sites and Apps (including any underlying software) in a manner that is consistent with the other terms in these TCU and the intended purposes of the Sites and Apps. USHC reserves the right to terminate this license for any or no reason and at any time without notice to you, including, but not limited to, for breach of any term contained in these TCU.
Unless otherwise expressly specified, you are permitted to temporarily download one copy of the materials (information or software) on our Sites or Apps for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. You agree 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 or Apps; 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 USHC 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 USHC and its designees the right to photograph, record and/or videotape you at such event and further grant USHC and its designees the right 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, 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.
The Sites and Apps may utilize various methods for users to upload or post content on the Sites or Apps and to communicate with other users, health care providers, vendors, and third parties, such as forums, chatrooms, messaging or electronic mail. The content created out of such interactions is referred to collectively as “user generated content” (“UGC”). Any and all UGC on our Sites and Apps are subject to these TCU.
Any UGC you upload/post to the Sites or Apps is done on a non-proprietary and non-confidential basis, and you agree that USHC has a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, worldwide, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display any UGC for the purpose of operating and/or marketing the Sites, Apps or any related services offered through the Sites or Apps. This license includes any right of publicity rights that may be present in the UGC.
USHC is not required to treat any UGC as confidential. UGC that you share or post on the Sites or Apps may be seen by other users of the Sites and Apps (including off of the Sites or Apps if another user copies and reposts your UGC).
When you utilize our Sites or Apps for communications you further expressly agree as follows:
You further agree that you shall be solely liable for any damages, royalties, or fees resulting from any infringement of rights or any other harm resulting from any UGC you upload/post.
You further represent and warrant that: (i) you own all right, title, and interest, including the intellectual property rights, to any UGC uploaded/posted by you to the Sites or Apps or you have been granted the right by the respective owner to upload/post the UGC; and (ii) your UGC does not violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, contract rights or any other rights of any person or entity.
USHC reserves the right to comply and cooperate with any and all legal requirements, legal authorities, and/or law enforcement agencies regarding the investigation of, or request to disclose, information related to your UGC.
USHC reserves the right to refuse, delete, or edit any UGC without cause and without notice for any or no reason. USHC is under no duty to, and does not represent it will, monitor, edit, and/or remove any UGC. If you send USHC unsolicited content or ideas, you agree that USHC may use such content and ideas in any way USHC wishes without any compensation to you.
Other than the exceptions referenced in these TCU or noted elsewhere, the major exception being UGC uploaded/posted by users of the Sites or Apps which remains the property of the users, all other content on the Sites or Apps is the property of USHC including, but not limited to, all marks, logos, names, text, data, documents, messages, pictures, images, video, audio, graphics, links, software and its underlying code, domain names, or other electronic files (referred to hereafter as “USHC Content”). You may not use USHC Content from our Sites or Apps commercially without our express permission.

This privacy policy (“Policy”) governs the manner in which we collect, use, maintain and disclose information collected from users (“User” or “you”) of any of the Sites and/or Apps.
This Policy only applies to the Sites and Apps identified above, and does not apply to information which you may send us by other means. Other USHC sites, apps and other online locations may have their own privacy policies, and you should consult those accordingly.
This Policy is effective as of January 1, 2020.
We retain sole discretion to update this Policy from time to time. When we update this Policy, we will post a notification on the main page of our Sites and Apps and update the Policy’s effective date.

Personal data (“Personal Data”) is generally defined as information that, by itself or in combination with other information, may be able to identify you or could reasonably be associated with you or your accounts.
We may collect Personal Data from Users who provide such information in a variety of ways on or through the Sites and/or Apps.

A User may choose to set their web browser or mobile device to refuse cookies. If cookies are blocked by Users, some parts of our Sites or Apps may not function properly.
We use an audience identification tool supplied by the Healthcare Communications Network℠, of which we are a member. More information on this Network is provided below under “Sharing your information.” A digital tag (e.g. a pixel) may be embedded in emails to you from us or the Healthcare Communications Network℠ which allows us to identify you and your Personal Data, to the extent such Personal Data is in our possession or the Network’s possession, when you visit our Sites or use the Apps.

Other than what is referenced above, the Personal Data and other data collected from you is not shared with nor sold to any person or entity outside of USHC.
We may share User information with governmental agencies or other companies assisting us in fraud prevention or investigation if we: (1) reasonably believe we are permitted or required to do so by law; (2) are investigating actual or potential fraud or unauthorized transactions; or (3) believe that a User’s actions violate our Terms and Condition of Use or threaten the rights, property or safety of our company, our Users, or others.

In connection with USHC’s collection and use of your Personal Data, you have the rights to:
If you would like to access, review, edit, delete or have us otherwise dispose of any copies of the Personal Data USHC collected from you, if you would like to opt-out of receiving further information, limit what Personal Data USHC shares, wish USHC to stop using your Personal Data in the manners specified in this Policy, or if you would like to exercise the above rights in any other way (subject to any applicable legal exceptions), please contact us at privacy@ushealthconnect.com.
You may be able to opt-out of USHC sharing your Personal Data with the entities identified in this Policy by contacting us using the above contact information, unless the sharing of your Personal Data is necessary to perform one of the following business purposes: to count ad impressions and evaluate their effectiveness; to detect, protect against, and prosecute security incidents; to debug or troubleshoot functional errors that may arise with the Sites or Apps; to complete short-term tasks related to an existing interaction you have with USHC; to maintain or service your account; to process payments and fulfill orders or other transactions you authorize; to verify your customer information; and to ensure the safety and quality of the Sites and Apps.

A minor may request uploads/posts or other information to be removed by sending a detailed message to info@ushealthconnect.com.

As to Personal Data we collect, USHC’s Sites and Apps use, implement and maintain industry standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your Personal Data and other data stored on our Sites or Apps, both in storage and in transmission.
However, while USHC takes the protection of your Personal Data seriously, you should exercise discretion in what information you disclose and/or transmit online, including on or through the Sites or Apps. No data transmission over the internet can be assured to be completely secure, as any transmitted information may be intercepted by others before it reaches USHC. As a result, USHC does not ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. If you are concerned about sending information to USHC over the internet, please send the information by mail or call us to make other arrangements. USHC is not responsible for the security of information sent over the internet.
USHC retains collected information for a reasonable amount of time in order to fulfill the stated purpose for why the information was collected. USHC reserves the right to maintain proper business records as required by law, or for otherwise legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law, even if such records contain your Personal Data. If USHC determines that collected information is no longer needed, it will delete such information. Our collection times will be consistent with applicable law.
Our Sites and Apps are intended for individuals eighteen (18) years of age or older. USHC’s Sites and Apps are not directed at, marketed to, nor intended for, individuals under thirteen (13) years of age. USHC does not knowingly solicit or collect information from individuals under the age of eighteen (18). If we determine that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under eighteen (18) years of age, USHC will delete this information from our database.
