Our Enforcement Rights
We are not obligated to monitor access or use of the Limbs & Things/eoSurgical Service, Content, or Your Content or to review or edit any Content or Your Content, but we have the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Service, to ensure compliance with these Terms, and to comply with applicable law or other legal requirements. We may consult with and disclose unlawful conduct to law enforcement authorities; and pursuant to valid legal process, we may cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law. We reserve the right (but are not required) to remove or disable access to the Service, any Content, or Your Content at any time and without notice, and at our sole discretion, if we determine that the Content, Your Content, or your use of the Service is objectionable or in violation of these Terms. We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms and any conduct that affects the Service.
Use the Service at Your Own Risk
We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, effectiveness, or correct use of information you receive through the Service. The Company is a provider of training equipment for the learning and practice of surgical skills. These products are not toys and are not suitable for use for children under any circumstance, or any person whose impaired comprehension or function might expose them to risk of injury by using the product. Purchase and training with this equipment is not a replacement for formal education and training in surgery. Using the Company’s hardware and software does not by itself guarantee you will acquire skills that allow you to safely practice surgical skills in the clinic. You should not undertake any surgical procedure on a living organism or being without having fulfilled the appropriate regulatory requirements of the country in which you live or work.
Use of any of our products in a way not expressly intended, may result in injury to yourself or others and should not be performed. Indicative uses of our products may be found on our w ebsite or related informational literature, but this does not guarantee that you can perform them safely. Your purchase may also include instruments or sutures. If this is the case, you acknowledge that these are potentially dangerous materials and may cause harm to yourself or others if used inappropriately or without due care. You agree that you will not use these materials unless you have taken steps in terms of education and or supervision to ensure that you can use them within the limits of your own competence and the safety of yourself and others. You also undertake to make safe disposal of these materials and to dispose of them in a way that meets any regulatory requirements of the jurisdiction in which you are located. The disposal of other parts of our products, such as electrical components, may also be governed by local legislation that will change from time to time, but that you are required to adhere to at the time of safe disposal.
Hardware & Software
If your use includes access to SurgTrac software, you acknowledge that the software remains wholly owned by the Company. You may not transfer any right to use the software to any other person or organisation. The software may be modified or withdrawn at any time and without notice. The access you have in relation to your purchase is for your own single use and cannot be shared with others. We may from time to time place a limit on the amount of hours per unit period that the software will be able to be activated if we have concerns that this agreement to a single use license is being breeched. If you wish to have access for multi-user then this can be purchased separately from the Company and will be covered by its own terms and conditions.
Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of or in any way connected with
- your access to or use of the Service
- Your Content
- your breach of any warranties made by you hereunder or your violation of any other provision of these Terms. We reserve the right to assume control of the defence of any third-party claim that is subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defences
Limitation Of Liability
Neither the Company, its suppliers or licensors, nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Service will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute services arising out of or in connection with these terms or from the use of or inability to use the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not the Company has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
In no event will the Company‘s total liability arising out of or in connection with these terms or from the use of or inability to use the Service exceed the amounts you have paid to the Company for use of the Service or one hundred pounds (£100), if you have not had any payment obligations to the Company, as applicable.
The exclusions and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between the Company and you.
