Quantia hopes that you will find the Service useful but reminds you that the Service is not meant to serve as a substitute for your own professional medical judgment. You should always exercise your professional judgment in evaluating your patients, and should carefully consider any treatment plan based upon any Content (as defined below). Quantia encourages you to confirm the information made available or otherwise obtained through the Service with other reliable sources before undertaking any treatment based on such Content. We also encourage you to review from time to time the American Medical Association’s Policy for Professionalism in the Use of Social Media located at http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/meeting/professionalism-social-media.shtml.
Acceptance of Terms.
The Service is offered subject to acceptance without modification of all of the Terms of Use and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published from time to time on the Site by Quantia. In addition, some services offered through the Service may be subject to additional terms and conditions promulgated by Quantia from time to time; your use of such services is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by this reference.
You represent and warrant that (a) you are a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner, (b) all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful, and (c) your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation. Quantia may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer the Service to any person and change its eligibility criteria at any time (this provision is void where prohibited by law and the right to access the Service is revoked in such jurisdictions).
Registration.
As a condition to using the Service, you will be required to register with Quantia using your email address and password chosen by you (collectively, your "Quantia Participant ID"). You shall provide Quantia with accurate, complete, and updated registration information. Quantia reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel a Quantia Participant ID in its sole discretion. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your Quantia Participant ID and shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You shall never use another Participant’s account or allow any third party to use yours. You will immediately notify Quantia in writing of any unauthorized use of your account, or other account related security breach of which you are aware. You grant us and all other persons or entities involved in the operation of the Service the right to transmit, monitor, retrieve, store, and use your Quantia Participant ID and related registration information in connection with the operation of the Service.
QuantiaMD Content.
The term "Content" includes, without limitation, any tools, services, advertisements, advice, suggestions, videos, audio clips, written forum comments, information, data, text, photographs, software, scripts, graphics, and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible by Quantia, its content providers or other partners, or other Participants on or through the Service including all Participant Submissions (as defined below).
You agree that the Service contains Content specifically provided by Quantia or its partners, and that as between the parties such Content (except for Participant Submissions provided by you) is the property of Quantia and is protected under U.S. and international intellectual property laws, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, trade secrets or other proprietary rights and laws. You shall abide by all copyright notices, information, and restrictions contained in any such Content. You shall not sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit, create derivative works from, display in frames, link to, or otherwise commercially exploit any Content or third party submissions or other proprietary rights not owned by you, (i) without the express written consent of the respective owners or other valid right, and (ii) in any way that violates any third party right. You may print or download a single copy of the Content from the Site solely for personal, non-commercial use, provided you keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices.
Quantia reserves the right to remove any Content from the Service at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to such Content or if Quantia is concerned that you may have violated the Terms of Use), or for no reason at all.
Participant Submissions.
The Site provides you with the ability to upload, submit, disclose, distribute or otherwise post (hereafter, "posting") content, videos, audio clips, written forum comments, data, text, photographs, software, scripts, graphics, works of authorship or other information to the Site (the "Participant Submissions"). You own all rights, title and interests in and to all Participant Submissions provided by you (including, without limitation, any submissions as part of any "Ask the Expert" or "Curbside Consult" features). Such Participant Submissions are non-confidential and are the property of the originating Participant. By posting Participant Submissions on the Site or otherwise through the Service:
  • You hereby do and shall grant Quantia a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sub-licensable and transferable license to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, publish, perform, and otherwise fully exploit ("Use") the Participant Submissions in connection with the Site, the Service and Quantia’s (and its successors and assigns) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Site (and derivative works thereof) or the Service in any media formats and through any media channels (including, without limitation, third party websites). You also hereby do and shall grant each Participant of the Service a non-exclusive license to access your Participant Submissions through the Site and the Service, and to Use such Participant Submissions as permitted through the functionality of the Site and the Service and under these Terms of Use. For clarity, the foregoing license grant to Quantia does not affect your other ownership or license rights in your Participant Submission(s), including the right to grant additional licenses to the material in your Participant Submission(s), unless otherwise agreed in writing;
  • You represent and warrant: that you own or otherwise control all rights to post such Participant Submissions and that disclosure and Use of such Participant Submissions by Quantia (including without limitation, publishing content on or at the Site) will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party, including without limitation any privacy, publicity, contract or other rights of any person or entity;
  • You understand that Quantia shall have the right to reformat, excerpt, or translate any materials, content or information submitted by you; and that all information publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Site is the sole responsibility of the person from which such content originated; and that Quantia cannot guarantee the identity of or the authenticity of any data posted by any other Participants with whom you may interact in the course of using the Service.
  • Your Participant Submissions will not contain any personally identifiable information with respect to any patient or other third party. In particular, you must remove any information that would associate your submission with a specific patient or individual. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) privacy rule allows for the use of de-identified health information so long as identifiers have been removed and a key is not disclosed that would allow the information to be re-identified. You will not disclose to Quantia a key to re-identify any patient data.
  • You shall not post any Participant Submissions that contain misleading, false, or inappropriate language or statements.
Quantia does not endorse any Participant Submissions. Quantia has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the Site, Service, Content, or Participant Submissions. Quantia may remove any Participant Submission at any time for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to such Participant Submission), or for no reason at all. Quantia will consider requests to remove Participant Submissions on a case-by-case basis once we are contacted by the Participant.
Under no circumstances will Quantia be liable in any way for any Participant Submissions, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Participant Submissions, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred in connection with use of or exposure to any Participant Submissions posted, emailed, accessed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Service.

Medical Disclaimer.
The Content available through the Service is for informational and educational purposes only and is not an alternative to physical examination or a substitute for the professional judgment of a Clinician in diagnosing and treating patients on an individual basis.

Patient Information.
State and federal laws, as well as ethical requirements of your profession may impose obligations with respect to patient confidentiality that may limit the ability of Clinicians to transmit certain information through the Site. It is the sole responsibility of the Participant to comply with state and federal laws, as well as institutional and professional guidelines with respect to patient confidentiality. The Participant is, at all times during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all patient consents, if applicable, and all other legally necessary consents or permissions required or advisable to disclose, process, retrieve, transmit, and view patient data. QUANTIA CANNOT AND DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE USE OR MISUSE OF PATIENT DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMITTED, MONITORED, STORED, OR RECEIVED BY THE PARTICIPANT WHILE USING THE SITE.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE, YOUR ONLY REMEDY IS TO STOP USING THE SERVICE.

A printed version of the Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You and Quantia agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
The Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. Except that Quantia may seek injunctive or similar equitable relief at any time from any court of competent jurisdiction, any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use shall be finally settled by arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts, using the English language in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of its reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and all other expenses) incurred in connection therewith. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. For all purposes of these Terms of Use, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the United States Federal Courts located in Massachusetts. Use of the Service is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of the Terms of Use, including without limitation, this section.
Integration and Severability.
The Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and Quantia with respect to the Service and use of the Site, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and Quantia with respect to the Site. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
Miscellaneous.
Quantia shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Quantia’s reasonable control. The Terms of Use are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by you except with Quantia's prior written consent. Quantia may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Terms of Use and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Terms of Use, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees. All notices under the Terms of Use will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice.
Quantia has adopted the following general policy toward copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf). The address of Quantia’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement ("Designated Agent") is listed at the end of this policy.
It is Quantia’s policy to (1) block access to or remove Content that it believes in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, Content providers, or Participants; and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.
A. Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements:
If you believe that Content residing on or accessible through the Site or Service infringes a copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
  1. Identification of works or materials being infringed;
  2. Identification of the Content that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the Content that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that Quantia is capable of finding and verifying its existence;
  3. Contact information about the notifier including address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address;
  4. A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the Content is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  5. A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.
B. Once Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification is Received by the Designated Agent:
It is Quantia’s policy:
  1. To remove or disable access to the infringing Content;
  2. To notify the Content provider that it has removed or disabled access to the Content; and
  3. That repeat offenders will have the infringing Content removed from the system and that Quantia will terminate such Participant’s access to the service.
C. Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent:
If the Content provider believes that the Content that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing, or the Content provider believes that it has the right to post and use such Content from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, the Content provider must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:
  1. A physical or electronic signature of the Content provider;
  2. Identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  3. A statement that the Content provider has a good faith belief that the Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the Content; and
  4. Content provider’s name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the Content provider’s address is located, or if the Content provider’s address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Quantia is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Quantia may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Quantia’s discretion.
Please contact Quantia’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement:
