Terms and Conditions

XpertDox website (this “Site”) is provided by XpertDox, LLC (“XpertDox,” “we” or “us”) for the benefit of the users of its website (“You,” “Your” and “Yourself”).

XpertDox collects data and other information regarding diseases, clinical trials, hospitals, and doctors from a variety of sources. XpertDox uses proprietary processes and algorithms to select, compile and adjust certain data to match diseases, conditions, symptoms, procedures, specialties, and medicines (“Search Term”) to doctors, hospitals, and clinical trials (“Scores”). On this Site, XpertDox makes available Scores, lists based on specific criteria, including without limitation, in the form of search results (“Lists”), and other information, profiles and materials regarding Search Terms, doctors and hospitals (collectively with the Scores and Lists, the “Site Materials”).

This user agreement (“User Agreement”) governs your access to and use of this Site and the Site Materials and constitutes a binding agreement between you and XpertDox. Please note that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change this User Agreement from time to time. Your continued use of this Site or any Site Materials after any such change takes effect will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of and agreement to the new User Agreement.

PLEASE READ THIS USER AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING, USING OR BROWSING THIS SITE OR ANY SITE MATERIALS. BY CLICKING ON “I AGREE,” OR BY ACCESSING, USING OR BROWSING THIS SITE OR ANY SITE MATERIALS, YOU, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR YOUR ENTITY, AS APPLICABLE, ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONFIRM THAT:

XpertDox is not a referral service and does not recommend or endorse any doctor or hospital. Rather, XpertDox is an automated algorithm incorporating a limited number of variables to match a doctor or hospital to the search term. Given several unknown aspects of a doctor or hospital that cannot be quantified, we do not claim to offer advice regarding the quality or suitability of any doctor or hospital for specific treatments or health conditions, and no information on this Site should be construed as health or medical advice. You should obtain any additional information necessary to make an informed decision prior to utilizing services from any specific doctor or hospital. Use of the Site is provided “as is, where is,” as an accommodation, and without warranty of any kind, nor does XpertDox provide any warranties of any kind in respect of any goods and services provided to users of the Site (unless otherwise expressly stated in writing in the relevant terms and conditions of sale). XpertDox expressly excludes any express or implied warranty of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement in respect of the Site or any links to the Site. In no event shall XpertDox be liable for damages of any kind incurred by you because of any inaccuracy or error in the information provided on the Site, any deficiency, error or interruption in the Site, or any deficiency, defect or failure to the Site. XpertDox shall not be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or incidental damages including, without limitation, lost profits or revenues, costs of replacement goods, loss or damage to data or equipment arising out of your reliance on the information provided on the Site and the use or inability to use the Site, even if XpertDox has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Your sole remedy in the event of any deficiency, defect, failure, error or interruption in the Site or any goods or services offered for sale on the Site shall be to request that XpertDox correct the matter or, if XpertDox fails to do so, to discontinue use of the Site at your option. In no event shall XpertDox’s liability exceed an amount equal to all fees paid by you to XpertDox in connection with your use of or access to the Site.

Upon your User Agreement Acceptance, XpertDox grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and view this Site and the Site Materials, and to copy, download, store and/or print only a single copy of any Site Materials, solely for your non-commercial, personal use and not for resale, disclosure, or distribution to anyone else.

The license granted to you in this User Agreement is expressly conditioned on your continued compliance with this User Agreement. Please note that XpertDox, in its sole discretion, may change this User Agreement from time to time and your continued access, use or browsing of this Site or any Site Materials after any such change takes effect will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of and agreement to the changed User Agreement.

You may not use these marks for any purpose without the express prior written consent of XpertDox. Except as expressly set forth above, these Terms of Use do not grant to you any express, implied, or other license or right under any patent, trademark, or copyright of XpertDox or any third party.

As between you and XpertDox, all right, title and interest in and to the Site and the Site Materials, including without limitation the Scores, and systems and methodologies used to create or display the Lists, together with all intellectual property rights embodied therein, are the property of XpertDox or XpertDox’s Affiliates.

XpertDox does not claim any rights in unaltered government data.

You agree not to engage in any activity that would constitute copyright infringement with respect to the Site Materials, including without limitation the Scores, Lists and/or the systems and methodologies used to create or display the Scores and Lists. You acknowledge that XpertDox selected, compiled, arranged, and adjusted data and information regarding doctors and hospitals and the Scores are original compilations (as defined by the 1976 Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101) containing material wholly and exclusively original to XpertDox. You may not reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, or publicly display the Site Materials or any portion thereof without XpertDox’s prior written consent. By way of illustration but not limitation, except as expressly permitted in this User Agreement or otherwise permitted by us in writing, you may not, directly or indirectly, transmit, download, upload, post, sell, rent, license, transfer, disclose, mirror, frame, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or use any aspect of this Site or any Site Materials (including, but not limited to, any Scores or Lists), in whole or in part, in any form or by any means. Also by way of illustration but not limitation, except as expressly permitted in this User Agreement or otherwise permitted by us in writing, you may not, directly or indirectly, use any of the Scores or Lists for any purposes other than your personal, non-commercial evaluation of doctors and hospitals, to compile mailing lists or other lists of doctors/hospitals for commercial purposes, to establish independent data files or compendiums of statistical information or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations. Additionally, you may not use any metatags or any other “hidden text” utilizing the name “XpertDox” without our prior written permission.

Further, you agree not to engage in any activity that would constitute unfair competition or trademark infringement in connection with the Site Materials, including, without limitation, the Scores. You acknowledge that XpertDox™, XpertKoLsTM, XpertMatch™, and XpertLeadsTM (collectively, “XpertDox Marks”) are trademarks of XpertDox. You acknowledge that XpertDox actively and extensively uses and promotes the XpertDox Marks and that there is substantial goodwill associated with the XpertDox Marks. You agree not to cite (orally, in writing or otherwise), reproduce or re-publish the Scores, Lists and XpertDox Marks in any manner likely to deceive or cause confusion in the marketplace. You understand and agree that, due to the nature of XpertDox’s products and services, any unauthorized citation, reproduction or republication of the Scores or Lists and use of any of the XpertDox Marks is likely to be deceptive and cause confusion in the marketplace, suggest non-existent sponsorship or endorsement by XpertDox, misappropriate XpertDox’s reputation, goodwill business opportunities and revenues, or otherwise misappropriate the cachet of XpertDox’s products and/or services; thus, you agree not to cite (orally, in writing or otherwise), reproduce or re-publish the Scores, Lists and XpertDox Marks without the prior written permission of XpertDox and you hereby waive any right to assert any “nominative fair use” or “nominative use” defence in any trademark or copyright infringement action brought against you in the event that you do cite, reproduce or re-publish the Scores, Lists or XpertDox Marks without the prior written permission of XpertDox. You further acknowledge that other names and logos contained in this Site or in the Site Materials are trademarks and service marks of third parties and may not be used without the permission of the trademark or service mark owner(s).

The Scores and Lists constitute confidential and valuable proprietary compilations owned by XpertDox. You will protect the confidentiality of (and not disclose to any person) the Scores or Lists for three (3) years from the date you accessed such information, by using at least the same degree of care as you use to protect your own confidential information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. Your disclosure of information contained in the Scores pursuant to a judicial or administrative order will not be deemed to be a breach of this User Agreement if you provide timely written notice of such order to XpertDox and reasonably cooperate with XpertDox efforts to contest or limit the scope of such order. Any breach of the foregoing confidentiality obligation will cause XpertDox irreparable harm for which there is no adequate legal remedy. In the event of any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement, XpertDox will be entitled to obtain injunctive and all other appropriate relief from a court of competent authority, without being required to: (a) show any actual damage or irreparable harm; (b) prove the inadequacy of its legal remedies; or (c) post any bond or other security.

Please be aware that we actively and aggressively fully enforce our intellectual property rights of the law. Please send an e-mail to support@xpertdox.com to inquire about the possibility of alternative arrangements regarding the Scores and Lists.
