2. Termination. The End User may terminate this EULA Agreement at any time by notifying Lexicomp in writing. Lexicomp may at its sole discretion terminate this EULA Agreement at any time, with or without prior notification, in the event the User fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this agreement, by deactivating the User's username and password or suspending operation of the system. Lexicomp reserves the right to terminate this EULA Agreement, or to modify or terminate services and/or product offerings in connection with the Software, at any time without notice to the User.

3. Copyright and Restrictions. The Software, including all text and other content therein ("Content") is the property of Lexicomp or its licensors, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted above, this EULA Agreement transfers to User no right, title, or interest in the Software, or the Content or any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property or proprietary right therein. Lexicomp retains sole and exclusive title to all portions of the Software and the Content, and any copies thereof, and User hereby assigns to Lexicomp all right, title, and interest in and to any modifications User makes to the Software, whether or not such modifications are permitted. None of the Content may be reproduced, transcribed, stored in a retrieval system, translated into any spoken language or computer language, retransmitted in any form or by any means (electronic, mechanical, photocopied, recorded, or otherwise), resold, or redistributed without the prior written consent of Lexicomp, except that the User may reproduce limited excerpts of Content obtained from Lexicomp sources or databases for personal use only, provided that each such copy contains a copyright notice as follows:

For Content obtained from third-party licensors, the User is solely responsible for compliance with any copyright restrictions and is referred to the publication data appearing in bibliographic citations, as well as to the copyright notices appearing in the original publications.

4. Content Provided by Lexicomp. While great care has been taken in organizing and presenting the Content, Lexicomp does not warrant or guarantee its correctness, accuracy, or timeliness, including with respect to any product descriptions, prices, or information concerning medical devices. Lexicomp does not perform any independent analysis or investigation of any of the product descriptions or other Content. Lexicomp does not assume, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to obtain and include any information other than that provided in the Content. It should be understood that by making this material available, Lexicomp is not endorsing or advocating the use of any product described in the Content, nor is Lexicomp responsible for misuse of a product due to, or other consequence of, any typographical error or other inaccuracy. Additional information on any product may be obtained from the manufacturer.

USE OF PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT. The editors and authors have conscientiously and carefully tried to present the Content, including diagnosis measures, treatment alternatives, and drug dosages, in conformance with the standards of professional practice that prevailed at the time of Content publication. However, such standards and practices in medicine change as new data become available, and the User should consult a variety of sources. In addition, with respect to prescription medication, the User is advised to check the product information sheet accompanying each drug to verify conditions of use and identify any changes in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the agent to be administered is new, infrequently used, or has a narrow therapeutic range. The Content is no substitute for individual patient assessment based upon the healthcare provider's examination of each patient and consideration of laboratory data and other factors unique to the patient. The Software should be used as a tool to help the User reach or understand diagnostic and treatment decisions, bearing in mind that individual and unique circumstances may lead the User or the User's healthcare provider to reach decisions not presented in the Software.

5. Beta Release Versions. In the event that the Software is identified as a beta release version ("Beta Version"), the terms of this paragraph will apply in addition to or in lieu of the other terms of this EULA Agreement. Your license to use the Beta Version expires at the end of the period indicated by the Software, or if no such period is indicated, 120 days after installation. The Beta Version may cease to function. The Beta Version may contain more, fewer, or different features than are contained in the commercial release corresponding to the Beta Version that Lexicomp intends to or does distribute. Lexicomp reserves the right at any time to withhold the release of a commercial version corresponding to the Beta Version, or if Lexicomp does release such a commercial version, to alter features, specifications, capabilities, functions, licensing terms, release dates, general availability, or other characteristics of such commercial version. User acknowledges and understands that the Beta Version is not suitable for production use and may contain errors affecting its proper operation.

6. Protection and Security. The User shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that no unauthorized person shall have access to the Software. The User shall not divulge, sublicense, assign, or transfer to any third party the user name and password established during registration or provided to the User. The User understands that provision of the user name and password may be required prior to each use of the Software. The Software and Content are the valuable property of Lexicomp, the unauthorized use or disclosure of which would irreparably harm Lexicomp. Upon learning of any unauthorized possession or use of or access to the Software, you will notify Lexicomp, will promptly furnish details of such occurrence, will assist in preventing any recurrence thereof, and will cooperate fully in any litigation or other proceedings undertaken to protect Lexicomp's rights.

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. User expressly acknowledges and agrees that use of the Software, the Content and the Servers is at User's sole risk. Lexicomp does not directly or indirectly practice medicine or dispense medical services and assumes no liability for the Content. The User assumes full responsibility for the appropriate use of medical information contained in the Software and agrees to hold Lexicomp, and its third party providers, harmless from any and all claims or actions arising from User's use of the Software or the Content. THE SOFTWARE AND THE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND THE SERVERS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND AS AVAILABLE, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. Lexicomp does not warrant that the Software, the Content, or the performance of the Servers will meet User's requirements, or that the operation of the Software or the Servers will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects in the Software or in the performance of the Servers will be corrected. Furthermore, Lexicomp does not warrant or make any representation regarding the use or the results of the use of the Software (including the related documentation), the Content, or the Servers in terms of their correctness, accuracy, reliability, or otherwise. Should the Software or the performance of the Servers prove defective, you (and not Lexicomp) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction. **LEXICOMP EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, THE CONTENT, OR THE SERVERS.** The Software may be provided with third party plug-ins or other third party software, or this Software may be provided as a plug-in for, or otherwise in association with, third party software. Use of any such third party software will be governed by the applicable license agreement, if any, with such third party.

*LEXICOMP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE AND WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR YOUR USE OF SUCH THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE AND MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO SUCH THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE.* Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so the above exclusions might not apply to User, and User may have other legal rights related to this EULA Agreement that may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

No salesperson or other representative of any party involved in the distribution of the Software is authorized to make any warranties with respect to the Software, the Content, or the Servers beyond those contained in this EULA Agreement. Oral statements do not constitute warranties, shall not be relied upon by the User, and are not a part of this EULA Agreement.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. **UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WILL LEXICOMP, OR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN THE CREATION, PRODUCTION, PROMOTION, OR MARKETING OF THE SOFTWARE, THE CONTENT, OR THE SERVERS, BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, RELIANCE, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF USE, LOST REVENUE, OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR THE SOFTWARE, THE CONTENT, OR THE SERVERS, EVEN IF LEXICOMP OR SUCH OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.** In no event will the total liability of Lexicomp or such other party for all damages exceed the license fees paid by the User for the Software for the current term of this EULA Agreement. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or indirect damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

9. Fees and Payments If accessing the Software through a personal subscription, User agrees to pay all fees, and all charges incurred for the Software in connection with User's username and password at the rates in effect when incurred. Fees and charges will be billed to the credit card the User designates during the registration process. If User wishes to change the credit card to which Lexicomp bills for the Software, User may call Lexicomp at the number listed for Customer Service at the Lexicomp web site. Credit card information is retained in Lexicomp's database in encrypted format. It is transmitted (in encrypted format) to a credit card clearinghouse for submission to the member's bank for payment. LEXICOMP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO USER'S CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY.

10. General If for any reason any provision of this EULA Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any statute or rule of law by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be interpreted in order to give effect to such provision to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This EULA Agreement shall be deemed to be made in the State of Ohio and shall in all respects be interpreted, construed, and governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio applicable to contracts executed and to be wholly performed therein, and without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. User irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Cuyahoga or Summit County, Ohio, and any action or proceeding arising out of this EULA Agreement will be heard and determined in such court. This EULA Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. Each of the Software, the Content, and the Servers is a "commercial item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users acquire the Application, the Application Documentation and the Application Content with only those rights set forth therein. This EULA Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, and all other communications relating to the subject matter hereof. No amendment or modification of any provision of this EULA Agreement will be effective unless set forth in a document that purports to amend this EULA Agreement and both parties accept that hereto. This EULA Agreement is personal to User and User may not assign User's rights or obligations to anyone.
