Terms of Service


  1. 1. Acceptance of Terms

    Your use of Migraine Insight's Services (excluding any services provided by Migraine Insight under a separate agreement) is subject to the terms of the legal agreement between you and Migraine Insight set forth in these Terms of Service ("TOS"). Except as specified herein, these TOS apply to any use of the Services, including but not limited to a) submitting information for use in the program or software, b) uploading a digital version of your information and interacting with it on the Migraine Insight website, and/or c) creating and using a Migraine Insight account. In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the TOS. You may not use the Services if you do not accept the TOS. You can accept the TOS by (1) clicking to accept or agree to the TOS, where this option is made available to you by Migraine Insight for any Service; or by (2) actually using the Services. In this case, you acknowledge and agree that Migraine Insight will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the TOS from that point onwards. In addition, when using particular Migraine Insight Services, you shall be subject to any guidelines or rules applicable to such services that may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. Migraine Insight also may offer other services from time to time that are governed by different terms of service.

    2. Prerequisites

    Whether you submit your own information, information for anyone for whom you have legal authority to agree, or otherwise provide information, you may not use the Services and may not accept the TOS if (1) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Migraine Insight, or (2) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.

    In addition to the conditions above, if you contribute or otherwise provide your own information, you must be eighteen (18) years of age or older to agree to these TOS on behalf of yourself or those for whom you have legal authority to agree.

    If your use of the Services includes creating a Migraine Insight account, you must be thirteen (13) years of age or older to use the Services and accept the TOS or have the permission of your parent or guardian.

    3. Description of the Services

    The Services include access to the Migraine Insight public website and other software services, including the collection of personal information. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each new feature that augments or enhances the current Service shall be subject to the TOS. You acknowledge and agree that the Services are provided "AS-IS" and are based on the current state of the art of medical research and technology in use by Migraine Insight at the time of the purchase or viewing. As research progresses and scientific knowledge and technology evolve, Migraine Insight is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services which Migraine Insight provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Migraine Insight may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at Migraine Insight's sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Migraine Insight when you stop using the Services unless you are requesting closure of your account. Migraine Insight assumes no responsibility for the use of Services outside the terms of this TOS or other applicable terms.

    In order to use the Services, you must obtain Internet access, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. You are solely responsible for paying such fees. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such Internet connection, including a computer and modem or other access device. You are solely responsible for providing such equipment. You acknowledge and agree that while Migraine Insight may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through the Services or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of any Service, such fixed upper limits may be set by Migraine Insight at any time, at Migraine Insight's discretion.

    4. Risks and Considerations Regarding Migraine Insight Services

    You should not change your health behaviors solely on the basis of information from Migraine Insight. Make sure to discuss your information with a physician or other health care provider before you act upon the information resulting from Migraine Insight Services. There may be unknown genes, environmental factors, or lifestyle choices that are far more important to your health outcomes than your triggers. If your data indicate that you are not at elevated risk for a trigger, you should not feel that you are protected. The opposite is also true; if your data indicate you are at an elevated risk for a particular trigger or treatment, it does not mean you will definitively be affected. In either case, if you have concerns or questions about what you learn through Migraine Insight, you should contact your physician or other health care provider.

    Information you share with others could be used against your interests. You should be careful about sharing your information with others. Some, but not all, states and other jurisdictions have laws that protect individuals with regard to their health information. You may want to consult a lawyer to understand the extent of legal protection of your information before you share it with anybody.

    Furthermore, information that you choose to share with your physician or other health care provider may become part of your medical record and through that route be accessible to other health care providers and/or insurance companies in the future. Information that you share with family, friends or employers may be used against your interests. Even if you share information that has no or limited meaning today, that information could have greater meaning in the future as new discoveries are made.

    Migraine Insight is not a diagnosis tool. It does not diagnose any medical condition.

    Migraine Insight Services are for research, informational, and educational use only. We do not provide medical advice. The information provided by Migraine Insight is for research, informational, and educational use only. This means two things. First, many discoveries that we report have not been clinically validated, and the technology we use, which is the same technology used by the research community, to date has not been widely used for clinical testing. Second, in order to expand and accelerate the understanding and practical application of knowledge in health care, we may invite all users to participate in Migraine Insight Research. As a result of the current state of general knowledge and understanding, our Services are for research, informational, and educational purposes only. The Services are not intended to be used by the customer for any diagnostic purpose and are not a substitute for professional medical advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other health care provider with any questions you may have regarding diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or other medical condition or impairment or the status of your health.

    Migraine Insight does not endorse, warranty or guarantee the effectiveness of any specific course of action, resources, tests, physician or other health care providers, drugs, biologics, medical devices or other products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on our website. If we provide to you on our website any recommendations that identify for you, based on your Self-Reported Information and scientific literature or research, potentially actionable information, this information is intended for informational purposes only and for discussion with your physician or other healthcare provider. As explained on our website, Migraine Insight believes that (a) triggers are only part of the picture of any individual's state of being, (b) the state of the understanding of medical information is rapidly evolving and at any given time we only comprehend part of the picture of the role of triggers, and (c) only a trained physician or other health care provider can assess your current state of health or disease, taking into account many factors. Any reliance on any information provided by Migraine Insight, Migraine Insight employees, others appearing on our website at the invitation of Migraine Insight, or other visitors to our website is solely at your own risk.

    5. User Representations

    By accessing Migraine Insight Services, you agree to, acknowledge, and represent as follows:

    1.

You understand that the Migraine Insight services are intended for research, informational, and educational purposes only, and that while Migraine Insight information might point to a diagnosis or to a possible treatment, it should always be confirmed and supplemented by additional medical and clinical testing and information. You acknowledge that Migraine Insight urges you to seek the advice of your physician or other health care provider if you have questions or concerns arising from use of our product or your information.

    In consideration of your use of the Services, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete Registration Information about yourself as prompted by the Service; and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any Registration Information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or if Migraine Insight has a reasonable ground to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Migraine Insight has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).

    After you have purchased our Service, you will create a password and account designation. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. If you allow third parties to access Migraine Insight's website through your username and password, you will defend and indemnify Migraine Insight and its affiliates against any liability, costs, or damages, including attorney fees, arising out of claims or suits by such third parties based upon or relating to such access and use. You agree to (a) immediately notify Migraine Insight of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. Migraine Insight cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

    7. Migraine Insight Privacy Statement and Disclosure of Information

    In order to use the Services, you must first acknowledge and agree to the Privacy Statement. You may not use the Services if you do not accept the Privacy Statement.

Migraine Insight will never release your individual-level i nformation and/or Self-Reported Information to any third party without asking for and receiving your explicit consent to do so, unless required by law. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Migraine Insight is free to preserve and disclose any and all Personal Information to law enforcement agencies or others if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process (such as a judicial proceeding, court order, or government inquiry) or obligations that Migraine Insight may owe pursuant to ethical and other professional rules, laws, and regulations; (b) enforce the Migraine Insight TOS; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Migraine Insight, its employees, its users, its clients, and the public.

Finally, Migraine Insight may, in its sole discretion, restrict access to the website for any reason.

    27. Miscellaneous

    1. Entire Agreement. The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and Migraine Insight and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Migraine Insight on this subject. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content, or third-party software

Except for any disputes relating to intellectual property rights, obligations, or any infringement claims, any disputes with Migraine Insight arising out of or relating to the Agreement ("Disputes") shall be governed by California law regardless of your country of origin or where you access Migraine Insight, and notwithstanding of any conflicts of law principles and the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods. Any Disputes shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the rules and auspices of the American Arbitration Association, to be held in San Francisco, California, in English, with a written decision stating legal reasoning issued by the arbitrator(s) at either party's request, and with arbitration costs and reasonable documented attorneys' costs of both parties to be borne by the party that ultimately loses. Either party may obtain injunctive relief (preliminary or permanent) and orders to compel arbitration or enforce arbitral awards in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    3. Waiver. The failure of Migraine Insight to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
    4. Term for cause of action. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
