Always seek the advice of your physician if you have any questions regarding a medical condition.

License Grant and Restrictions

The App (including updates, patches, and upgrades) is licensed and not sold to you. BMC hereby grants you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to install and use the App through your mobile device.

These Terms are between you and BMC and not with any mobile application market, e.g. Google Play or the Apple Inc. App Store (“Mobile App Store”). Your ability to download and use the App may depend on your compliance with the Mobile App Store’s own terms and conditions. The Mobile App Store is not responsible or liable for your use of the App.

Updates and Changes to the App

BMC is constantly trying to improve our App, so they may change over time. BMC may develop patches, bug fixes, updates, and upgrades to offer new features or improve the performance of the App. BMC may suspect or discontinue any part of the App, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the App. In some cases, the changes BMC makes to the App may cause older hardware devices, third party services, software configurations or setups to no longer work with the App, and you may be required to update or change these devices, services, configurations or setups in order to continue using the App. BMC will try to give you notice when we make a material change to the App that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical or possible.

Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the information you provide is important to BMC. BMC conducts our business in compliance with applicable laws on data privacy and protection. This Terms of Use is subject to the Boston Medical Center Hey Mama Mobile App Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). The Privacy Policy describes the collection and processing of information from users of the App by BMC. The Privacy Policy can be found by clicking here.

Mobile Services Carrier and Provider Data Charges

Please be aware that the terms and conditions you agree to with your mobile services carrier or provider may apply fees, limitations and restrictions which might impact your use of the App, for example, your mobile services carrier or provider may impose data usage charges for your use of or interaction with the App, including while downloading the App, or other use of your mobile device when using the App, and you agree to be solely responsible for all such fees, limitations and restrictions.

No Medical Advice

All health and health-related information contained within the App is intended to be general in nature and should not be used as a substitute for a visit with a health care professional. No information provided in the App may be considered medical advice. The information may not be relevant to your individual situation and may be misinterpreted. BMC assumes no responsibility for how you use information obtained from this site. Before making any decisions regarding your health care, ask your personal physician.

Limited Warranty

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” BMC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, RELIABLE, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPATIBLE WITH ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCT OR SERVICES. BMC, ITS AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES REGARDING THE APP, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BMC, ITS AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP. EVEN IF THE DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND BMC WAS ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Disputes

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the App will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, finally settled in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedure for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. Payment of all filings, administration, and abreaction fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act are expressly excluded. If any provision of these Terms of Use is made or found to be unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions shall continue in effect.

Termination

BMC may suspect or terminate your right to use the App without prior notice if it reasonably believes that you failed or intent to fail to comply with any of these provisions or violate any applicable law, regulation, license or terms of services.

Changes to these Terms

BMC reserves the right to change these Terms of Use at any time. BMC will notify you of any changes through the App. If you do not agree with the revised Terms of Use, you are free to reject them; however, that means you will no longer be able to use the App. Your continued use of the App following notice of any change means you have accepted these changes.

Reservation of Rights

Our failure to enforce any provision of this agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.
