You may download and print a single copy of the Content solely for your use in connection with your internal non-commercial use. Any Content you download or print may not be altered in any way and must contain all copyright and proprietary rights notices that were contained in such Content.

We are not liable for any harm related to the theft of your IDs, your disclosure of your IDs, or your authorization to allow another person or entity to access and use the Site using your IDs.

We do not give medical advice, nor do we provide medical or diagnostic services. Your reliance upon Content obtained by you at or through the Site is solely at your own risk.

9. Patient Data and Legal Compliance. The Services provided through the Site may enable you to transmit, store, and receive confidential patient information ("Patient Information"). State and Federal laws, as well as ethical and licensure requirements of your profession may impose obligations with respect to patient confidentiality that may limit your ability to make use of certain Services or to transmit certain information to third parties. You represent and warrant that you will, at all times during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, comply with all laws directly or indirectly applicable to you or your Organization that may now or hereafter govern the gathering, use, transmission, processing, receipt, reporting, disclosure, maintenance, and storage of the Patient Information, and use your best efforts to cause all persons or entities under your direction or control to comply with such laws. You are, at all times during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining or verifying that you or your Organization has obtained and is maintaining all patient consents and all other legally necessary consents or permissions required or advisable to disclose, process, retrieve, transmit, and view the Patient Information you transmit, store, or receive in connection with the Site and the Services. You agree that we, our licensors, and all other persons or entities involved in the operation of services provided through the Site, have the right to monitor, retrieve, store and use Patient Information in connection with the operation of such services, and are acting on your behalf in transmitting Patient Information. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of Patient Information you transmit and to prevent the disclosure of such information to third parties except in connection with the transmission, storage, retrieval, and disclosure of such information on your behalf and except as may be required or permitted by law. We reserve the right to use and disclose to third parties information gathered during your use of the Site for purposes required by or compliant with all applicable laws; such disclosures to third parties (e.g., our Content Providers) will be in the form of aggregate data only (such as overall patterns or demographic reports) and shall not include any personally-identifiable information (as defined by law). WE CANNOT AND DO NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OR MISUSE OF PATIENT INFORMATION OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMITTED, MONITORED, STORED OR RECEIVED USING THE SITE OR THE SERVICES.

2 10. Security. We will endeavor to use appropriate security measures to protect the confidentiality of Patient Information. We will use industry standard encryption technology (e.g. 3.0 Secure Socket Layer protocol with 128-bit public key encryption technology) in arranging for the transmission of Patient Information. In addition, you also acknowledge and agree that no form of encryption is fool proof. You agree to take all additional steps necessary to ensure that the text of your e-mail messages and all attachments to your e-mail messages are completely secure.

11. General Disclaimers. THE SITE IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN "AS IS, WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS, AND YOUR USE THEREOF IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Any attempt by you to assign or delegate your rights or obligations under this Agreement without our permission shall be null and void. The waiver by us of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or a

4 subsequent breach of the same or a different kind. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Maryland, exclusively, as such laws apply to contracts between Maryland residents performed entirely within Maryland.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an agency or instrumentality of the Federal Government, this Agreement shall be governed and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States of America without reference to conflict of laws, and dispute resolution shall take place in a forum, and within the time period, prescribed by applicable federal law. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by federal law, the laws of the State of Maryland (excluding its choice of law rules) will apply in the absence of applicable federal law. No equitable or injunctive relief, and no shifting of legal fees or costs, may be sought against you except as, and then only to the extent, specifically authorized by applicable federal statute.

22. Arbitration; Choice of Forum and Venue. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in Anne Arundel County Maryland, by a single arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) rules. The arbitrator shall be empowered to award only those damages which are permitted in this Agreement, subject to any disclaimers of damages and liability limits set forth herein. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of the arbitration and reasonable costs for experts and other witnesses. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking provisional relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, in order to protect that party’s name or proprietary rights. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by Maryland law.
