Last Updated: April 19, 2019
1. INTRODUCTION
We, AEDIT, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (collectively, with our parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and related companies), hereinafter, “AEDIT,” “We,” “Our,” or “Us”, offer a platform that enables a user to preview, learn, share and discover how to get the best treatment through the use of aggregated images, information and user data, (the “Service”). You may access our Services from the Aedit web-application(s) ("Site") and/or the Aedit mobile application(s) (collectively, “App”). Before you proceed, please read the following Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully as they contain the legal terms and conditions that you agree to when you use our Service and/or access the App and/or Site (collectively, “Platform”).
References to “you” and “your” is construed to mean you as the customer of Aedit (the “User”). By accessing or using our Service and/or Platform or authorizing or permitting any User or End-User to access or use the Service and/or Platform through websites, or mobile applications, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you are entering into these terms on behalf of a company, organization or another legal entity (an “Entity”), you are agreeing to these terms for that entity and representing to us that you have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these terms, in which case the terms, “you,” “your” or related pronouns used herein shall refer to such Entity and its Affiliates.
THIS SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL OR OTHER LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. AEDIT IS NOT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ENGAGED IN THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE OR THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL ADVICE, INCLUDING ANY DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT. THE INFORMATION ON THIS PLATFORM, OR ANY FEATURE OR FUNCTIONALITY MADE AVAILABLE ON THIS PLATFORM (INCLUDING OUR INTERCOM FEATURE) IS NOT INTENDED OR IMPLIED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT.
ALL CONTENT, INCLUDING TEXT, GRAPHICS, IMAGES, SOUND, VIDEO, MEDIA AND INFORMATION CONTAINED ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS PLATFORM IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ALL HEALTH-RELATED RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED FOR YOUR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO BE A RECOMMENDATION FOR ANY SPECIFIC COURSE OF TREATMENT OR FOR USE IN PROVIDING ADVICE OR OPINIONS ON THE TREATMENT OR CARE OF AN INDIVIDUAL HEALTH PROBLEM.
THE SERVICE MAY CONTAIN OPINIONS AND VIEWS OF AEDIT, ITS USERS, AND FROM TIME TO TIME, THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING IF YOU ACCESS AND/OR USE OUR INTERCOM FEATURE. HOWEVER, AEDIT DOES NOT ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY, EFFICACY, OR VERACITY OF ANY CONTENT POSTED OR SUBMITTED BY AEDIT OR ANY OF ITS USERS OR ANY THIRD PARTY THAT ARE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THROUGH YOUR USE OF OUR INTERCOM FEATURE.
Certain features of the Service are intended to allow you to ask questions regarding health and medicine of a general nature for informational and educational purposes only. You agree that you will not seek any diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, prescription, product recommendation or medical advice of any kind from Aedit or any individual with whom you communicate online through the Platform. Any communications through the Service should not be taken as medical advice for your personal situation, and will instead be based on the experiences of the individuals with whom you are communicating, their general education and training, and their medical education and experience. Use of the Service is not a substitute for seeing your own doctor who is familiar with your medical history. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, AEDIT DOES NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY SPECIFIC DRUGS, TESTS, PHYSICIANS, PRODUCTS, PROCEDURES, OPINIONS, “OFF-LABEL” DRUG USES, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT MAY BE PROVIDED THROUGH SERVICES.
AEDIT MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OF INFORMATION CONTAINED ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS APP, AND SUCH INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SERVICE IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ALL DECISIONS MADE USING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THIS SITE WILL BE YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE OUR SERVICE OR PLATFORM.
THE SERVICE IS NOT TO BE USED FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. IF YOU REQUIRE URGENT CARE, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY. YOU SHOULD NOT DELAY OR DISREGARD SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE BASED ON ANY INFORMATION YOU RECEIVE THROUGH THE SERVICE.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY AND BINDING CUSTOMER ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON A CUSTOMER BASIS, TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIAL OR CLASS ACTION.
In the event of any inconsistencies between these Terms and information included in our Privacy Policy or in off-line materials (e.g., promotional materials and mailers), these Terms will always govern and take precedence.

1. Registration. In order to Register for our Service through our Platform, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form (“User Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the User Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, you may not be able to completely enjoy our Platform or Service and we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).
2. Amendment of Terms. You agree that Aedit retains the right to amend these Terms, Service, and Platform, including service offerings and prices at any time, for any reason.

3. Access and Use Rights. Aedit grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access and use the Platform and Service. These rights are exclusive to you and you may not sublicense the use of Platform and Service. Aedit expressly retains all ownership rights, title and interest in and to all aspects of the Platform and the Service, including, but not limited to, all current and future patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, know-how, and other proprietary rights included or embodied in the Platform. You may not modify the Platform, or any part thereof nor create derivative works of the Platform, or any part thereof, or reverse engineer, reverse compile, reverse assemble or do any other operation with the Platform, or any part thereof that would reveal any source code, trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information.

Under no circumstances shall you have any rights of any kind in or to the Platform after any termination or expiration of your agreement to these Terms for any reason.
4. Beta Services. We sometimes release products and features that we are still testing and evaluating. Those Services have been marked beta, preview, early access, or evaluation (or with words or phrases with similar meanings) and may not be as reliable as other services. In addition, while we do use AES-256-bit encryption to encrypt user-files, the process of uploading files to Aedit servers could result in files getting corrupted during their storage in the target cloud filestores (Google Drive or Dropbox). This might on very rare occasions, render the encrypted file(s) undecryptable. Alternately, on rare occasions, the encryption-key might get corrupted or deleted due to unforeseen circumstances rendering the file(s) irretrievable.
5. Password. You will create a password and account designation upon completing the Service’s registration process. 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. You agree to (a) immediately notify Aedit 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. Aedit cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

You remain the owner of all Content that you submit to the Service and as a condition to your use of the App and the Service, you represent and warrant to Aedit that you are the owner of the copyright to the Content you submit to the Service or that you have written permission from the copyright owner to submit such Content. You agree to indemnify and hold Aedit harmless for any violation of this section.
