OBLIGATIONS
All users of these Services that are not employees of SMM must comply with this
Policy. Your failure to comply with this Policy could result in the suspension or
termination of your Service account, as well as reporting to law enforcement or
other regulatory agencies as appropriate. Use of any of these Services constitutes
full and unconditional acceptance and agreement to this Policy. If you do not agree
to comply with this Policy, you must immediately cease using these Services and
notify SMM so that it can close your account(s).
In addition to being responsible for your own compliance with this Policy, you are
also responsible for any use or misuse of these Services that violates this Policy,
even if it was committed by another person or entity with access to your Service
account. Therefore, you must take steps to ensure that others do not use your account
to gain unauthorized access to these Services by, for example, strictly maintaining
the confidentiality of your Service username and password. In all cases, you are
solely responsible for the security of any access or connection to these Services.
CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS
SMM may revise this Policy from periodically by posting a new version on its web
site at http://www.superiormobilemedics.com/aup.
Revised versions of this Policy are effective immediately. Accordingly, users should
read any announcements they receive and regularly visit our web site and review
this Policy to ensure that activities comply with the most recent version. You can
send questions regarding this Policy, and report violations of it, to compliance@superiormobilemedics.com.
VIOLATIONS OF THIS ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
SMM reserves the right immediately to suspend or terminate access to any or all
Services, and inactivate your Service account(s) if you violate the terms of this
Policy.
SMM has no obligation to monitor these Services and/or the network. However, SMM
and its suppliers reserve the right at any time to monitor bandwidth, usage, transmissions,
and content in order to, among other things, operate these Services; identify violations
of this Policy; and/or protect the network, these Services and other SMM customers.
SMM will always try to inform customers of inappropriate activities or violations
of this Policy, and give them a reasonable period of time in which to take corrective
action. However, if these Services are used in a way that SMM or its suppliers,
in their sole discretion, believe violates this Policy, SMM or its suppliers may
take any responsive actions they deem appropriate under the circumstances with or
without notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, filtering or “throttling”
of data transmissions, and the immediate suspension or termination of all or any
portion of these Services. Neither SMM nor its affiliates, business associates,
suppliers, or employees will have any liability for any of these actions. These
actions are not SMM’s only remedies and SMM may take any other legal or technical
actions it deems appropriate with or without notice, including seeking injunctive
relief, and compensatory and punitive damages.
SMM reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this Policy, including
the gathering of information from the user or users involved and examination of
material on SMM’s servers and network. During an investigation, SMM may suspend
the account or accounts involved. You agree to SMM and its suppliers cooperating
with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected legal violations,
and any system administrators at SMM, and its suppliers or other network or computing
facilities in order to enforce this Policy. Upon termination of your Service account,
SMM may, at its sole discretion and in accordance with any contractual agreements
with any insurance carrier, delete any data, files, or other information associated
with your account.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SMM and its affiliates, business associates,
suppliers, and employees against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorney
fees) resulting from any violation of this Policy. Your indemnification will survive
any termination of use of these Services, whether initiated by you or SMM.
SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Policy is held invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful, such
shall in no way affect any other provision of this Policy or the validity or enforcement
of the remainder of this Policy, and the provision affected shall be altered only
to the minimum extent necessary to make it conform to the applicable law.
