12. USER CONTENT

Private User Content: The Site has enabled a secure messaging system that permits registered users to privately communicate with one or more other registered users. Private User Content is encrypted when sent, stored and retrieved using at least 256 bit, industry standard encryption. QID will take reasonable measures to restrict access to Private User Content to only those registered users who are the intended recipients of the particular private message. QID has no control over what an intended recipient may do with such Private User Content. Administrators of QID do not have access to Private User Content, but may be required in certain circumstances – such as to comply with a court order – to take extraordinary measures to obtain access to Private User Content. Every user is required to ensure that all use of the Site, including the use of private messages, complies with legal, ethical and regulatory requirements.

User Content generally: When using the Site, you will have access to User Content created by other users and will have the opportunity to submit and contribute Your User Content. You own Your User Content, but in order to provide the Site to you, You grant QID (which includes its designees) a license to use, reproduce and present Your User Content on the terms set out in this Section. You hereby grant to QID a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable license to Your Content for the purposes of providing and administering the Site and its associated services. You grant us permission to display Your User Content to other users in the manner intended depending upon the forum in which You post Your User Content. While QID will make reasonable efforts to give effect to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, User Content should not be considered confidential. You acknowledge that any person having authorized access to Your User Content, including QID, may use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such information for any purpose whatsoever including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing products and services incorporating such information. In the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the Site, the license to User Content will be transferred to the purchaser.

You agree that You will not post or provide User Content that is confidential or proprietary, or that infringes the rights of any third parties.

QID may manually review or use automated means to scan User Content (other than Private User Content) to administer the Site, including for the provision of relevant advertising and for confirming compliance with its policies, including these Terms of Use.

You are prohibited from posting or transmitting to or from this Site any unlawful, infringing, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, or other material that would violate any law. You are prohibited from revealing the name or other personally identifying information of any other QID member unless that individual has previously revealed his or her own name or personally identifying information in that specific QID post. Any attempt to obtain unauthorized access or to exceed authorized access to the Site shall be considered a trespass and computer fraud and abuse, punishable under applicable laws. You are reminded that QID does not collect personal health information about individuals, but is merely the platform through which users transmit and store User Content. To submit a post, You must provide and upload information to QID server. Within Your uploaded submission, QID does not collect or maintain information that would associate this submission with a specific patient or individual. For example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) privacy rule, which took effect on April 14, 2003 in the United States, allows for the use of de-identified health information so long as identifiers have been “stripped” and a key is not disclosed that would allow the information to be re-identified. QID does not possess a key to re-identify patient data.

Personal Profile:

Once a registered participant, You may provide additional information in Your personal profile describing your credentials, professional experiences, academic background, biography and the like. Your personal profile shall be available for viewing by other registered participants of QID and will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. Providing additional information in Your personal profile beyond what is required at registration is entirely optional and can be altered or removed by You at any time.

13. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

QID may, from time to time, be subject to orders, demands and requests pursuant to laws or regulations. Any action taken by QID in good faith belief that such action is required to comply with such laws or regulations, or to protect its own interests or the Site’s, will not be a breach of this Agreement.

14. LINKS TO OTHER MATERIALS

The linked sites are not necessarily under the control of QID and QID is not responsible for nor does it certify the content of any linked site or any link contained in a non-affiliated linked site. QID reserves the right to terminate any link or linking program at any time. QID has selected the links for Your convenience. The selection or omission of links is not intended to endorse any particular companies or products. If You decide to access any of the third party sites linked to this Site, You do this entirely at Your own risk. Any links to any portion of the Site shall be the responsibility of the linking party, and QID shall not be responsible for notification of any change in name or location of any information of the Site.
