These terms of use are entered into by and between You and Informed Health Technologies, Inc. ("Company," “IHT”, "we," “ouror "us"). The following terms and conditions ( "Terms of Use") govern your access to and use of informedht.com, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through informedht.com, including and subdirectories or subdomains, (the "Website") or any products or services we provide, whether or not through the Website (“Services”), whether as a guest or as a Member.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Services or the Website. By using the Services or the Website or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at informedht.com, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Services or the Website.

By using the Services or the  Website, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Services or the Website.

Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services and the Website thereafter.

Your continued use of the Services or the Website following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Accessing the Website and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend this Website or all or some of the Services in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Website or the Services is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some or all Services and parts or all of the Website to users, including Members. When feasible, Members will be notified in advance of planned changes in or availability of the Services or the Website, but this will not always be within our control to provide.

You are responsible for both:

To access the Services or the Website, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Services or the Website that all the information you provide on the Website is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register as a Member for this Website, our Services, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Website, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to our Services, this Website or portions of it using your user name, password, or other security information. You may give others access to your data by connecting your account to theirs, so we do not permit you to share usernames, passwords, or other confidential authentication information. The value of the Services depends on you not sharing this information, so sharing this confidential authentication information is explicitly prohibited. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

We have the right to disable any user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use. If we disable your account, we will retain your data as specified in our Privacy Policy. If you remedy the reason we disabled your account, we may, in our sole discretion, reenable your account.
