Important - Read Carefully:
These terms of use and license agreement ("Agreement") constitute a legal agreement between you and the Sponsors , an unincorporated consortium of organizations: Healthcare Research and Education Trust ("HRET"); Institute of Safe Medication Practices ("ISMP"); and Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), (each an "Organization" and collectively the "Sponsors") for the use of the Physician Practice Patient Safety Assessment (PPPSA) and PPPSA Website provided by the Sponsors. BY CLICKING THE "ACCEPT" BUTTON OR BY DOWNLOADING, COPYING, ACCESSING OR OTHERWISE USING THE PPPSA OR THE PPPSA WEBSITE, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE PRESS THE "REJECT" BUTTON AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD, COPY, ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE PPPSA OR THE PPPSA WEBSITE.

License Grant
The PPPSA and the PPPSA Website are protected by copyright laws, international copyright treaties and other intellectual property laws and treaties. The PPPSA is licensed on a non-exclusive basis, not sold. You may download and use the PPPSA or other content on the PPPSA Website ("Website Content") on computers within your organization, and may use the PPPSA or Website Content for non-commercial purposes, including without limitation educational or professional certification activities, only. If you would like to use the PPPSA or Website Content for any other purposes, you must obtain prior written approval from the Sponsors, and must pay the applicable license fee determined by the Sponsors for such commercial use. You may use the downloaded PPPSA one time, in one Practice Site. "Practice Site" for purposes of the Agreement, shall mean a single physical location in which a medical practice conducts its operations. If any such medical practice conducts its operations at more than one physical location, a license must be obtained for each such location at which the PPPSA is used. No further copying, duplication or dissemination of the PPPSA is permitted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Sponsors. Not limiting the foregoing, this Agreement does not grant you any rights to (and you are prohibited from): (i) granting any sublicense, distributing or transmitting the PPPSA or Website Content in whole or in part; (ii) modifying the PPPSA or Website Content; (iii) using any trademarks of the Sponsors; or (iv) using the PPPSA or Website Content for purposes other than non-commercial purposes as described herein. Your rights under this Agreement may not be transferred, leased, assigned, or sublicensed. Any purported attempt to transfer, lease, assign, or sublicense your rights will be void.

Ownership of Intellectual Property
As between you and the Sponsors , all rights in and to the PPPSA and Website Content are owned by the Sponsors , including all rights provided under copyright law, trademark law, patent law, trade secret law, and all other forms of proprietary and intellectual property protection.

Breach; Termination
Without prejudice to any other rights, the Sponsors may terminate this Agreement if you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement. In such an event, you must cease using the PPPSA Website and destroy all copies of the PPPSA or Website Content in your possession or control. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by discontinuing use of the PPPSA and PPPSA Website, erasing the PPPSA and Website Content from all computer memories and storage devices within your possession or control, and destroying all hard copies of the PPPSA and Website Content or portions thereof, and all related documentation and all copies and installations thereof, whether made under these terms or otherwise. In the event of termination by you or the Sponsors, you will not receive a refund of any license fees paid by you for use of the PPPSA, if any, as all such fees shall be deemed nonrefundable.

U.S. Government Restricted Rights
The PPPSA has been developed entirely at private expense. In the event the U.S. Government seeks to obtain the PPPSA through standard commercial practice, this Agreement, instead of any government regulatory clause will control the terms of the U.S. Government's license.

Disclaimer of Warranties; Exclusion of Damages; Limitation of Liability
If you are dissatisfied with the PPPSA or the PPPSA Website, or with any terms of this Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the PPPSA and the PPPSA Website. The Sponsors and their members assume no responsibility and shall not be liable for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, relevance or usefulness of the PPPSA or Website Content, or for any liability that may result from your use thereof. The Sponsors and their members also assume no responsibility and are not liable for any damages to, or viruses that may infect, your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, use of the PPPSA or the PPPSA Website.

THE PPPSA AND THE PPPSA WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED AS IS. THE SPONSORS (AND THEIR SUPPLIERS AND AFFILIATES) MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS YOU MAY OBTAIN, AND PROVIDE NO GUARANTEE AGAINST THE POSSIBILITY OF DELETION, MISDELIVERY OR FAILURE TO STORE COMMUNICATIONS, PERSONALIZED SETTINGS, OR OTHER DATA. IN NO EVENT WILL THE SPONSORS OR THEIR MEMBERS (OR THEIR SUPPLIERS AND AFFILIATES) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE PPPSA OR WEBSITE CONTENT. THE SPONSORS AND THEIR MEMBERS (AND THEIR SUPPLIERS AND AFFILIATES) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN, OR THE MISUSE OR MISINTERPRETATION OF, ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE PPPSA OR THE PPPSA WEBSITE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR LACK OF VIRUSES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE SPONSORS OR THEIR MEMBERS (OR THEIR SUPPLIERS AND AFFILIATES) BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR ANY INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PPPSA OR THE PPPSA WEBSITE, EVEN IF THE SPONSORS (OR THEIR SUPPLIERS AND AFFILIATES) HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL THE SPONSORS' LIABILITY (OR THAT OF THEIR SUPPLIERS AND AFFILIATES) EXCEED THE GREATER OF $1000 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE PPPSA. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or special damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty may last, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Indemnification

General
This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the PPPSA and the PPPSA Website will be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado without reference to the choice of law principles thereof. Any actions, proceedings or suits concerning or relating to this Agreement may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Denver, Colorado, and each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such court, and waives any objections thereto. If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement and the parties will substitute for the invalid provision a provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. Failure by either party to complain of any act or failure to act of the other party or to declare the other party in default, irrespective of the duration of such default, will not constitute a waiver of rights hereunder. The PPPSA and the Website Content may not be shipped into any country or used in any manner prohibited by law, regulation or order. Except as provided below, no amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is set forth in writing signed by an authorized officer of both parties. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between you and the Sponsors with respect to the PPPSA and the PPPSA Website, and supersedes all proposals (oral or written), all previous negotiations, and all other communications, except as set forth above. The Sponsors may at any time, in their sole discretion, revise the terms of this Agreement by updating them on the PPPSA Website. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit the PPPSA Website to review the current Agreement.
