BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
1. Town Square Does Not Provide Medical Advice. The Services, including, without limitation, the Questionnaires and the results of the Questionnaires, are provided by Town Square and its licensors for informational purposes only. The Services, and any data, information or results provided on, through or by the Services, are (a) not intended to be medical advice or instructional for medical diagnosis or treatment, (b) not intended to be complete or to replace personal consultation with a qualified healthcare professional, and (c) not a substitute for the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider(s). You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider regarding any data, information or results provided by the Services or any questions you may have regarding a health or medical condition, and you must never disregard, avoid or delay obtaining professional medical advice from your physician or other qualified health provider(s) because of any data, information or results provided on, through or by the Services. You acknowledge that while some Content (as defined below) may be provided by individuals in the medical field, the provision of such Content does not create a medical professional/patient relationship, and does not constitute a medical opinion, medical advice, or diagnosis or treatment, but is provided for informational purposes only. “Content” means text, data, graphics, images, photographs, video, audio, information, suggestions, guidance, content and other materials provided, made available or otherwise found on the Website. The Content is not intended to substitute for or replace any other diagnostic or therapeutic services. Reliance on any Content is solely at your own risk. NO LICENSED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL/PATIENT RELATIONSHIP IS CREATED BY USING THE WEBSITE OR ANY CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN, WHETHER SUCH CONTENT IS PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH THE USE OF THE WEBSITE OR THROUGH ANY OTHER COMMUNICATIONS.
2. Products. The Services may refer to certain goods or services (collectively, “Products”), including making available listings, descriptions, and images of, and references and links to, Products, whether such Products are made available by Town Square or by third parties. Such references do not imply our endorsement of any Product or affiliation with the provider of such Product. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of such references (including any features or specifications), and any such information is subject to change at any time without notice. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and foreign laws (including minimum age requirements) regarding the possession, use and sale of any Product. The Products may be changed periodically without prior notice.
3. Changes. We may change this Agreement by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting a revised Agreement through the Services, or as otherwise required by applicable law. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Agreement incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes.
Your use of the Services following any changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of such changes. The “LAST UPDATED” legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed. We may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Services (including access to the Services via any third party links); charge, modify or waive any fees required to use the Services; or offer opportunities to some or all Services users.
4. Information Submitted Through the Services. Your submission of information through the Services is governed by Town Square’s Privacy Policy, located at https://www.jointownsquare.com/privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”). You consent to the collections, uses and disclosures of your personal information for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy. In particular, you acknowledge and agree that we may use personal information, including sensitive information, from many Services users to create non-identifiable “aggregate data” (for example, reports that calculate the percentage of users who have a particular response to or result from the Questionnaires) that may be disclosed to third parties. You represent and warrant that any information you provide in connection with the Services is and will remain accurate and complete, and that you will maintain and update such information as long as you continue to use services. By using the Services, you signify your acceptance of the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, you should not use our services. If Town Square decides to change the Privacy Policy, we will post those changes prominently so users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We do, however, recommend that you read the Privacy Policy each time you use our Services in case you missed our notice of changes to the Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
5. Jurisdictional Issues. The Services is controlled, hosted and operated from the United States. The Services may not be appropriate or available for use outside of the United States jurisdiction. Any use of the Services is at your own risk, and you must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in doing so.
