Terms of Use

Effective as of: January 20, 2016

By ‘Curatio”, ‘we’, ‘our’ or ‘us’, we mean Curatio Networks Inc., a company registered in British Columbia. Curatio provides a proprietary platform and related services, including mobile and desktop applications, which allow users who have created an account (“Users”) to enable private, disease-based peer networks and personalized health monitoring tools (the “Services”).

By ‘you’, ‘your’, ‘member’ or ‘User’, we mean individuals using our Services (“User” or “Users”).

These Terms together with the Curatio Privacy Statement are the entire agreement between you and us.

If you do not agree to our terms and conditions of use, please do not use our Services.

When you sign up to become a User, you will have to register by creating an account (“Account”). We collect your email address and password to create your User Account, and to authenticate when you sign in. We also require you to pick a user name which we use to identify you in the Services and which will appear beside comments you post. Your comments and user name may be visible to other Users where functionality exists.

You provide content by submitting, displaying, posting and otherwise sharing or using the Services. Your content might include text, files, documents, reports, results, information, bulletins, images, photos, video, works, works of authorship, applications, or any other materials. You own your content and you also control what content you choose to share with other Users of the Services. Your use of the Services, including what content you share, is always voluntary.

All content submitted to or available through the Services is the sole responsibility of the User who submitted the content. Content posted or shared by other Users does not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of Curatio. We assume no responsibility for the content posted by any User and no responsibility for the conduct of the User with respect to any such content. Curatio assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Services for inappropriate content or conduct, but we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to investigate use of the Services and take appropriate action in accordance with these Terms. Other Users may alert us to inappropriate use of the Services, including inappropriate content or conduct.

You agree to ensure that any content you share using the Services is yours to share, and that you are not violating the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person or entity. Keep this in mind because you are responsible for any rights clearance for any content you post or otherwise share.

The Services include functionality that allows Users to upload Content to communities, blogs, message boards, Ask an Expert, Social Circle and other public areas (collectively

“Public Areas”). Please remember that the content you choose to share in Public Areas

will be available to the other Users who may view, share, distribute, access, copy, download, and use the content without restriction. Accordingly, please consider carefully what content you choose to share while using the Public Areas. Do not share private health information in Public Areas. By submitting content to Public Areas, you agree that submissions to Public Areas are non-confidential for all purposes.

We need your agreement so that we can share your content with other Users with whom you choose to share access to your content. This does not give Curatio the right to sell or otherwise distribute your content apart from in connection with providing you with the Services. The license you grant to Curatio is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Content to anyone else in addition to us), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that Curatio is not required to pay you or anyone else deriving rights from you for the use on the Services of the Content that you post), sublicensable (so that Curatio is able to use affiliates, subcontractors and other partners such as third party providers or Internet content delivery networks and wireless carriers to provide the Services), and worldwide (because the Internet and the Services are global in reach).

 

 

The Site is not intended to be used to report health concerns, adverse events or product technical complaints, or to ask technical or medical questions regarding products. In all instances you should refer to your physician or pharmacist.

As a user of this Site, if you provide information about an adverse experience or product technical complaint while using any of the products listed on this site, or any product of a Company,  you understand that Curatio may have to report the information you provide to the Company that supplies the product in order for the Company to meet its regulatory requirements. To do so, the Company may use the information you provided to submit reports to relevant regulators for your geographic location in relation to an adverse experience with one of its products as may be required by the regulatory authority. The Company may be required to contact you and/or your healthcare professional for further information.  You understand that in order to comply with the law, we may not be permitted to meet your request to amend or remove Personal Information you provided to us or a third party regarding an adverse experience while using any products.

You can delete any or all of your content from the Services at any time. After you affirmatively delete your Content from the Services, we will cease distribution as soon as we practically can do so. This may take some time due to the technical measures we use to deliver the services.

The Services also include content that we provide and that our partners, third party providers that have been authorized to distribute the Services (“Providers”), licensors and others provide. All of this content is property of Curatio or its owners, as the case may be, and is protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, patent, and other applicable laws. By using the Services, you do not acquire any ownership rights or any implied rights to the content obtained, accessed or viewed using the Services, and the posting of information and materials on the Services does not mean the owner has waived any rights to the content. You can however use the content solely for your personal, non-commercial use in connection with and while using the Services unless you have specific instructions otherwise.

Curatio may delete any content for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, content that violates these Terms. In addition, Curatio reserves the right to limit the storage capacity of content that you post on, through or in connection with the Services.

 Services do not provide medical advice

 User conduct

You must not use the Services in any way that causes, or is likely to cause, the Services or access to it to be interrupted, damaged or impaired in any way. You understand that you are responsible for all electronic communications and content sent from your computer to us and you must use the Services for lawful purposes only. Certain features of the Services may allow you to forward material via email or social media to addressees and/or social media accounts specified by you. By using such features, you represent, warrant and confirm to Curatio that you have the consent of all recipients to send such communications.

If you submit, post or upload content through the Services, you will ensure the content is not illegal, obscene, abusive, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties, or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of “spam”. Harassment in any manner or form on the Services, including via e-mail, chat or social media or by obscene or abusive language is strictly forbidden. Impersonation of others, including a Curatio employee, host, or representative, or other members or visitors on the Services is prohibited. You must not upload to, distribute, or otherwise publish through the Services any content which is libelous, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable, or which may constitute or encourage a criminal offence, violate the rights of any party or otherwise give rise to liability or violate any law.

 Protecting yourself

We work really hard to protect your privacy and keep the Services secure, but you play an important role as well.

Consider where in the Services and with whom you want to share your content before you share it. Make sure you understand how your content will be shared with other social networking pages or sites or any other websites linked to the Services where this functionality is available. Register with an email address that only you can access.

Choose a password that isn’t easy to guess and keep it secret. Change your password immediately if you suspect someone else knows it or has gotten into your account. Be careful when you use the Services, for example by logging out every time if you use a shared or public computer or other device. Secure the computer or other device you use to access the Services, for example by requiring a password to access your mobile phone. Protect yourself from phishing scams: never click on links or open attachments from unknown senders, beware of popups and look for a sign that the site you are using is secure, such as a lock icon on the browser’s status bar. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with your responsibilities.

If you believe that your Account has been compromised, you can change your password through the Services. If you need help to deactivate a password or account, contact us at support@curatio.me and we’ll help you.

 Accessing the Services

We may make the Services available to you directly or a Provider may make them available (e.g. a healthcare or social service provider, governmental organization, health authority, community organization or other licensor of the Services). Either way, there may be a charge to access the Services or some part of the Services. We do not have any control over whether a Provider will charge fees or other dues in connection with Services. Please contact your Provider if you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding their fees and/or payments. You agree that Curatio will not be responsible or liable in any way for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of, or in connection with, any interaction or dispute between you and your Provider.

You will be informed in advance of using the Services as to whether there will be a charge. You will have a chance to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. New services may be added for additional fees and charges, or fees may be amended proactively and charged for existing services, at our sole discretion.

In the event that fees are payable, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information by and to the Billing Provider for the purpose of processing the fees. Billing Providers are subject to very strict regulations regarding what they can and can’t do with your Personal Information.

If you are accessing the Services through a Provider, these Terms will still be in effect and you will have to agree to them. However, your Provider may want you to enter into an agreement with them too. Curatio is not and will not be party to that agreement. Only these Terms will govern the relationship between you and us with respect to your access and use of the Services.

To the extent these Terms provide for usage rules for the Services which are less restrictive or in conflict with the Provider’s Terms of Use, the more restrictive terms will take precedence and apply.

 Rights to your data

You own your content. In accordance with the Curatio Privacy Statement, you agree that Curatio owns any data or information derived from or generated by your use of the Services and/or information about you that has been collected by us on an aggregate basis (“Anonymized Data”). In this Agreement, “Anonymized Data” means that Curatio combines Your Data and/or parts of information collected or processed from you in a manner that does not contain or disclose any information that can identify you and/or where such data has otherwise been anonymized. Curatio shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, in and to all Anonymized Data. To be clear, Curatio is not allowed to disclose User data without consent other than Anonymized Data.

 Protecting Copyrights and Other Intellectual Property

We respect the intellectual property of others, and require that our Users do the same. You may not upload, embed, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that infringes any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any person or entity. It is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, access to Services for Users who violate this prohibition.

The Services and all contents of the Services, including logos, graphics, images, software, icons and other elements (but excluding User content) are the exclusive property of Curatio or as applicable, its suppliers and partners, and are protected under the copyright laws of Canada and other countries. The core technology platform and all of the related software code remains the sole property of Curatio. All rights not explicitly granted herein are reserved. Any infringement of our rights will result in appropriate legal action.

As long as you use the Services, these Terms will be in effect. You can stop using the Services at any time by uninstalling the Services from your device or by deleting your Account.

Your Account will terminate if you have a subscription (through us or a Provider) that expires or if Curatio ends your right to use the Services for breaches of these Terms.

Upon termination or expiration, Curatio reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject or to refuse to post any content (including private messages, comments and instant messages) submitted or sent by you. In addition, upon termination or expiration Curatio reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to remove your profile and/or deny, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the Services. We will retain rights to any Anonymized Data.
