Your legal agreement with us also includes our Privacy Policy and other terms and conditions that we refer to in these Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy or those that we disclose or notify you of when you use or attempt to use some of the features and functions that may be available to you as a user of any of our Sites (“Additional Terms”). Our Sites include all web pages within each Site and also include backup, mirror, replacement or substitute sites  or pages we make available as part of the services we provide. We will refer to each and every feature, function, service, activity, promotion and content on our Sites, individually and/or collectively as “Content” and when we use the term “Site” it also includes Content unless we specifically say otherwise. Any terms used but not defined herein are defined in our Privacy Policy.

“We”, “us” and “our” mean Hart, Inc., and we may refer to you or any individual that uses our Sites as “you” or “your” or a “user.” If we use the term “Hart Entities,” in addition to us, that term means and includes our sponsors, affiliates, suppliers, promotional partners, operational service providers, agents and representatives.

When you see the word “use” or “using” we mean any time you, directly or indirectly, with or without the help of any device, attempt to or actually do access, interact, display, view, browse, print, copy, transmit, receive or exchange data, messages, content or you otherwise communicate with us or  anyone else, including another user, advertiser or any person, firm or business you may encounter on or through any of our Sites. We will also consider you to be using our Sites if you utilize, benefit, take advantage of or interact with any Content in, on or available through any of our Sites, for any purpose, or if you try to do any of these things.

If you use any of our Sites you are acknowledging (i) you have read and understand the legal agreement you have with us, including these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms and (ii) that unless you immediately stop using or trying to use all of our Sites, you will be signifying your agreement to be legally bound by and comply with all of the terms and conditions that apply to you under these Terms of Use.

The Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use and form a part of our agreement with you. Read our Privacy Policy carefully since it describes, among other things, how we collect and use information we obtain when you use our Sites.

2. Health information
‍‍The Content on our Sites is presented in a summary fashion, and is intended to be used for educational and entertainment purposes only. The Content is not intended to be and should not be interpreted as a recommendation for a specific treatment plan, product, course of action or medical or healthcare provider. Your use of our Sites does not create a doctor / patient relationship. Our sites do not offer medical advice and nothing contained in the content is intended to constitute professional advice for medical diagnosis or treatment. You should not use our Sites to diagnose a health or fitness problem or disease. Use of our Sites does not replace medical consultations with a qualified health or medical professional to meet the health and medical needs of you or any other party. We disclaim all responsibility for the professional qualifications and licensing of, and services provided by, any physician or other health provider referred to on our Sites and/or any Third Party (as defined in our Privacy Policy) website. Never disregard the medical advice of a physician or health professional, or delay in seeking such advice, because of something you read on our Sites. Although we strive to ensure that the information we provide on our Sites is correct, we cannot guarantee that it is always accurate and up-to-date. We offer our Site AS IS and without any warranties.

3. Ownership of content and license

To avoid any doubt, when we use “Content” it includes, but isn’t limited to, such things as software, code, design, text, images, photographs, illustrations, animations, audio, video and audio‐visual material, art, graphic material, proprietary information, data, databases, service marks, trademarks, trade names, distinctive identification such as logos, the selection, sequence, ‘look and feel’ and arrangement of items and all copyrightable or otherwise legally protectable elements of any and all of our Sites. All product names, company names, marks, logos, and symbols may be the trademarks of their respective owners.

You keep ownership to any and all Content that is yours and if you submit or provide Content to any of our Sites, these Terms of Use do not deprive you or any holder of your or their rights. However, when you do submit or provide Content to us or any of our Sites, you are giving us an unconditional, irrevocable, transferable, royalty free worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, perform, adapt, translate, modify, create derivative works, publish, distribute, disseminate and/or broadcast that.

Content (“license”) and you are representing and warranting to us you have the right to give us such license. If you do not have the right to license Content to us (or if you are not sure), do not submit or provide Content to us.

You may only use our Content and Content of Third Party Providers for your own personal use and you have no right to transfer, assign or use the Content for any other purpose or allow or enable anyone else to do so. Personal use means nothing commercial or even charitable, whether or not money or other compensation or consideration is involved and whether or not it is for your benefit or for someone else. This also means you are not allowed to use, display, reproduce, perform, adapt, translate, modify,  create derivative works, publish, distribute, disseminate and/or broadcast Content that is not yours without our express prior written consent. You may not alter, delete or conceal copyright or other notices, even if we let you download, display, print or share the Content with others. Unauthorized or prohibited use of Content may subject you to civil liability, criminal prosecution, or both under federal, state and local laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please also see section 5 in our Privacy Policy entitled “PUBLIC POSTINGS” about protecting your Personal Information.
