Please read these Terms and conditions ("Terms", "Terms and conditions") carefully before using the Consortium of Open Oral Pathology (COOP) website (the "service") operated by Brandon Veremis, DDS and collaborators ("us", 'we", "our").
Conditions of Use
We will provide our services to you, which are subject to the conditions stated below in this document. Every time you visit this website, use its services, or make a purchase, you accept the following conditions. This is why we urge you to read them carefully. If you do not consent to these conditions, do not use this website.
By using this service, you hereby affirm that: (1) you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, (2) you have the legal power and authority to agree to, and be bound by, these Terms; (3) if you have provided information to us in connection with your use of this service, such information is true and accurate.
We may revise and update these Terms at any time and without notice. Your continued use of this service will constitute your acceptance of these changes and the current version of these Terms.
THIS SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE
First and foremost, understand that, if you are a dentist, physician, or other health professional, this website does not in any way substitute good clinical judgement. Remember that everything on this website was made by other people, and other people have differing skills, knowledge, and understanding. While we make our best attempts to verify the accuracy of the information provided, we make no guarantees that any information is correct, and you should always use your own judgement when making your professional decisions. If you are not a health professional and you're using this site, understand that this is an educational application and is in no way intended to be medical advice, regardless of what any of the content (be it text, images, videos, or anything else) says. It is absolutely not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always ask your doctor about issues related to your treatment, and do not ignore or delay seeking treatment because of something you had read on this service (or really, anywhere else on the internet). For all users, any references to products are not intended as an endorsement, and exist purely for educational purposes. If any user relies on any information in this service, it is entirely at their own risk.
Because this website is created and maintained by individuals with limited time, we do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of this information.
We have no control over and accept no responsibility for your compliance with the laws applicable to your country or state of residence.
Offensive materials
While this app's learning materials, images, and videos are intended to be educational, this service may contain information that some users may find sexually explicit or offensive. It is the decision of the useres to access this information, and by accepting these Terms, users will not hold us accountable for the presence of information they find offensive.
Privacy Policy
Before you continue using our website we advise you to read our privacy policy [link to privacy policy] regarding our user data collection. It will help you better understand our practices.
User Account
If you are an owner of an account on this website, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your private user details (username and password). You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account or password.
We reserve all rights to terminate accounts, edit or remove content, and cancel orders in our sole discretion.
Intellectual Property Rights and Restrictions
When using this service, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited, revocable right to use this service for personal and non-commercial purposes only. In using this service and thereby accepting the Terms, you agree not to use this service for any other purpose, including but not limited to any commercial purpose unless our prior written consent is granted. You are welcome to reference this service and link to the homepage of this service on other websites, but you may not link to specific pages, images, whole slides, or videos unless otherwise specified. For example, you may not link to or reuse a question from the Cards app, you may not create a frame of a whole slide image on another website, and you may not use any image or video for any commercial purpose unless there is a Creative Commons license on that image or video that allows you to do so. You may not reference this service in any way that in any way implies an endorsement of external content. You agree to cooperate with us in causing any breaches of the above to cease.
Content published on this service, including but not limited to images, texts, whole slides, and logos, unless otherwise specified, is the property of Brandon Veremis, DDS and/or its content creators. All content on this service is protected by international copyright laws. The entire compilation of the content found on this website is the exclusive property of Brandon Veremis, DDS, with copyright authorship for this compilation by Brandon Veremis, DDS. You are not allowed to download or modify this service. This may be done only with written consent from us.
Unless otherwise specified, all title to, ownership of, and rights in and to any aspect of this service is, and at all times shall remain, the sole and exclusive property of us. You may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works of any aspect of this service in any way without the prior written consent of us unless otherwise specified. Much of the user-generated content contains specifications for re-use, and if any aspect of this site can be re-used, a license will be displayed with that aspect. An example of this exception would be a hypothetical image uploaded by John Smith with the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which specifies that that image is the original property of John Smith, and any reuse of that image must follow the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (that is, as long as you give proper attribution to John Smith, you may copy and/or redistribute the material in any medium for format, and you may remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially). As another example, an item created by John Smith in the Cards application of this service shall remain the sole and exclusive property of us because it does not have a license allowing for its reuse.
This service may contain hyperlinks, to other websites that are not maintained by or affiliated with us. These hyperlinks are provided as a convenience and should not be considered an endorsement or an indication of sponsorship or affiliation. Because we do not continuously review all of such hyperlinks for security or accuracy of the information contained on those external websites, they are to be accessed at your own risk.
Some users will be able to post content. If you are permitted to post content, you may do so as long as it is not obscene, illegal, infringing on intellectual property rights, defamatory, threatening, or invasive of privacy including but not limited to patient privacy laws such as the United States' Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Your content must also be free of commercial solicitation or malicious software including but not limited to viruses, scripts, or any other attempt to circumvent security procedure. We reserve the exclusive right (but no obligation) to determine if any user-generated content violates the above, and any subsequent actions (including but not limited to removing content, editing content, or deactivating user accounts).
