6.3. The CCS and SMART Monitoring ECG Reading Findings and Reports
The SMART Monitoring ECG reading service (“ECG Service”) is a third party resource that is partnered with CCS to import, view, and interpret Your data. The ECG Service then reports back to the CCS Application any findings in Your data. To make the ECG Service available to You, upon first use of the Application, You agree to enrollment in the service. You may then use the optional ECG Service at any time. You will only be charged when and if you use one of the ECG Services offered. CCS reserves the right to change the service providers or discontinue one or more of the service product offerings.

You may also use the Application to generate reports using Your data.

Any reports provided by or through the Application or the ECG Service (the “Report” or “Reports”) You select do not suggest a diagnosis. Any Report is intended as information for You and to be used as a tool for Your physician to provide proper diagnosis and treatment taking into account Your complete medical history. Analysis and diagnosis based on Your data can only be accomplished by Your physician. It is Your responsibility to present Your medical data to Your physician for proper analysis and diagnosis.
You have the option to obtain an ECG recording from Your device at any time. Your ECG recordings are subject to multiple factors related to your health and activities. CCS and the Reading Service make no guarantees of the accuracy or clinical significance of the interpretation of Your data. Please be aware that Your physician may disagree with the interpretation of Your data. You explicitly consent to sharing data with the third party ECG Service according to terms described in the CCS Privacy Notice located at https://cardiocommsolutions.com/about/privacy-policy.html.

Due to certain restrictions, Your location may restrict Your ability to use the ECG Service. It is your responsibility to ensure the ECG Service is legal according to Your local laws.

6.4. Personalized Surveillance Service
Under some circumstances, the ECG reports generated through the optional use of the ECG Service may present You with notifications or suggested actions based on a review of the information and ECG data You have provided such as, ‘symptoms’ or ‘activities’. Those notifications or suggested actions, or lack thereof, are not an indication of your health status, nor are those notifications or suggested actions intended to replace the opinion of Your physician. It is Your responsibility to present Your data to Your physician, and to discuss with Your physician what the proper course of action is based on Your medical history.
You agree that CCS may send push notifications to You through the Application. However, if You change the settings of the device You have loaded the Application onto to not accept notifications from CCS, You may not receive these notifications.

7. PRIVACY NOTICE

7.1. Privacy Notice
You explicitly consent to the collection, hosting, use, disclosure and other processing or handling of information (including sharing data with third party providers) as described in the CCS Privacy Notice located at https://cardiocommsolutions.com/about/privacy-policy.html, as such notice may be amended by CCS in its sole discretion from time to time.

8. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

8.1 Suspension

For Convenience. For convenience, upon Notice by CCS to You.

8.4. Effect of Termination
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of Your registration or rights to use the Application or Website, for any reason (i) You will no longer be authorized to access or use the Application or Website or otherwise use any of the features or services offered by or through the Application or Website; (ii) CCS may delete any data associated with You or Your account; and (iii) all rights and obligations of the Parties under these Terms and Conditions shall terminate, except those rights and obligations under those sections specifically designated in Section 8.5.

9. LIABILITY

9.1. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the CCS Group (as defined in section 10.1) shall not be liable to you for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages arising out of or resulting from your use of the application or website, or based upon any breach of any express or implied warranty, breach of contract (including these terms and conditions and any additional instructions, guidelines or policies issued by CCS Group, including those posted in the application or on the website), negligence, tort or any other legal theory (collectively, the “excluded damages”). For the avoidance of doubt, the excluded damages also include without limitation, loss of savings or revenue; loss of profit; loss of use; loss of life or health, the claims of third parties; and any cost of any substitute equipment or services. If CCS cannot lawfully disclaim liability for any of the foregoing damages, then CCS group’s maximum liability to you is limited to the purchase price paid by you to CCS for the application or $100, whichever is greater. These limitations apply even if any other remedies available to you fail of their essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
The jurisdiction applicable to You may not allow the limitations of liability or damages set forth in these Terms and Conditions, in which case such limitations shall apply to You to the extent permitted in such jurisdiction.

9.2. Remedies
At its option, any member of the CCS Group may seek all remedies available to it under law and in equity, including injunctive relief in the form of specific performance to enforce these Terms and Conditions, including any additional instructions, guidelines or policies issued by CCS, including those posted in the Application or on the Website, and/or actions for damages.

9.3. Claims
No action arising out of, in connection with, or relating to these Terms and Conditions or the subject of these Terms and Conditions shall be brought by You more than one (1) year after the accrual of the cause of action. This period shall not be extended for any reason, except by the written consent of both parties. All statutes or provisions of law which would toll or otherwise affect the running of the period of limitation are hereby waived, and no such statute or provision of law shall operate to extend the period limited in this paragraph.

10. INDEMNITIES

10.1. Indemnity by You
You will indemnify and hold harmless CCS, its affiliates and their respective current, future or former officers, directors, partners, equity holders, employees, agents, contractors, and their successor or assigns (collectively, the “CCS Group”) on demand, from and against any and all fines, penalties, liabilities, losses and other damages of any kind whatsoever (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees), incurred by any of the members of the CCS Group, and, if directed by CCS, shall defend the CCS Group against (1) all claims that any information, data or other materials provided by You in connection with your use of the Application or Website or ECG Service (including Your application for registration to access and use the Application or Website) or these Terms and Conditions, or use thereof by any member of the CCS Group, infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right of a third party; (2) all claims arising from fraud committed by, or the intentional misconduct, criminal acts or gross negligence of, You; and (3) all claims otherwise arising due to a failure by You to comply with any term or condition of these Terms and Conditions, including any additional instructions, guidelines or policies issued by CCS, including those posted in the Application or on the Website.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1. Disputes
If a dispute arises under these Terms and Conditions between You and any member of the CCS Group, such dispute shall be resolved, at the filing party’s election, in either a small claims court or by final and binding arbitration administered by the Canadian Arbitration Association, under their rules for consumer arbitrations. All disputes will be handled solely between the named parties, and not on any representative, private attorney general, or class basis. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS TO A COURT (OTHER THAN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT) OR JURY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, any member of the CCS Group may resort to court action for injunctive relief at any time if, in its good faith belief, the dispute resolution procedures described in this Section 11.1 would permit or cause irreparable injury to such member of the CCS Group or any third party claiming against a member of the CCS Group, due to delay arising out of such dispute resolution procedures.

11.2. Governing Law
All rights and obligations of You or the CCS Group relating to these Terms and Conditions, including any additional instructions, guidelines or policies issued by CCS, including those posted in the Application or on the Website, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the parties hereby irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario

12. GENERAL

12.4. Assignment
You may not assign these Terms and Condition (or any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder) by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of CCS, which may be withheld at CCS’s sole discretion.
