These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you use a website, mobile application, or other online service (collectively, the “Services”) that links or refers to the Terms. These terms are a legal contract between you and Value Relating LLC (“we” or “us”) so it is important that you review them carefully before using the Services. Your use of the Services indicates that you agree to follow and be bound by the Terms, which include the use of HIPPA-compliant communication platforms. If you do not agree to the Terms, do not access or use the Services.

 

THESE TERMS CONTAIN DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES (SECTION 11) AND DISCLAIMERS OF LIABILITY (SECTION 12).

 

General

 

We may change the Terms or modify any features of the Services at any time at our sole discretion. The most current version of the Terms can be viewed by clicking on the “Terms of Use” link at the bottom of the home page. If you continue to use the Services after changes are posted you will be deemed to have accepted the change.

​

Complementary Responsive Terms

 

These Terms guide our interactions as defined by what is permitted and not permitted by laws. Beyond the harm-reduction minimal standard of these Terms, use of the Services provides complementary Responsive Terms to invoke the anankelogical principle of prioritizing the resolving of needs for which legal standards exist to serve. When not in conflict with Value Relating, Responsive Terms prevail as our mutually agreed conciliatory options for addressing our mutually impacted needs. When Value Relating concedes we are in legal conflict with you, Value Relating reserves the right to assert these Terms of Use over such Responsive terms.

​

Compliance With Applicable Laws

 

As a condition of your access to and use of the Services, you agree that you will not use the Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms and that you will comply with all applicable laws and any conditions or restrictions imposed by these terms. The Services are offered for your personal and non-commercial use only, and you are prohibited from using, and are expressly not granted the right to use, the Services for any other purpose.

More information about any such subscriptions can be found on the appropriate locations of the Services. You shall pay all applicable taxes relating to use of the services, and recognize that any fees to third parties that may be required for you to receive the service (such as mobile data plans and text-message charges) are not included in the cost of the services.

Disclaimer of Warranties

 

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

Limitation of Liability

 

IN NO EVENT WILL VALUE RELATING OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS, USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR ANY LINKED SITES, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS, OR LINE OR SYSTEM FAILURE. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF VALUE RELATING HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
