To the extent that that You advise orthobrain of any dissatisfaction with orthobrain, You agree that You will do so according to the express procedure set forth herein. In return, orthobrain shall attempt to reasonably cure such dissatisfaction. You agree that orthobrain’s assessment of what would be a reasonable cure shall be binding, and You will not contest orthobrain’s assessment. In the event that You choose to dispute orthobrain’s assessment of what would be a reasonable cure, You agree to pay both Your costs and orthobrain’s costs in resolving the dispute, regardless of whether or not You prevail in disputing orthobrain’s assessment. You agree to pay all of orthobrain’s costs because You understand and agree that orthobrain has limited assets to divert to the resolution of any such dispute. Such costs shall include court fees, attorneys’ fees, filing fees, incidental costs, travel costs, lodging expenses, and any other costs, both foreseeable and unforeseeable, that are incurred by orthobrain in defending against such action.
11. Opportunity to Cure. Despite the express Limitation on Liability, as set forth herein, orthobrain seeks to maintain good relations with those who use the Materials. However, orthobrain has limited assets and limited capacity to address certain issues. Thus, due to such limitations, orthobrain sets forth the following procedures for reporting any dissatisfaction. Strict compliance with these procedures is necessary, since an email filter at notice@yourorthobrain.com is specifically created to handle any such incoming email messages for reporting dissatisfaction. Given this, You agree that any deviation from these procedures shall relieve orthobrain from any efforts to cure or accommodate Your dissatisfaction.
You acknowledge that these procedures are reasonable and that You will strictly adhere to these procedures for reporting any dissatisfaction with orthobrain. Should there be any dissatisfaction with any of the services offered by orthobrain or any of the contents on the website, You agree to provide express written notice to orthobrain and provide orthobrain the opportunity to cure or accommodate the alleged dissatisfaction within a three (3) month period. The three (3) month period shall begin from the date that the written notice is received by orthobrain. Such written notice shall be emailed to notice@yourorthobrain.com. The written notice shall begin with a subject line (or title), which recites, in all capital letters, “REPORTING OF DISSATISFACTION WITH orthobrain.” You agree to strictly follow these procedures for reporting any dissatisfaction, without any deviation, prior to commencing any other action, legal or equitable, against orthobrain.
If You commence any action against orthobrain prior to strictly following these procedures, and prior to providing orthobrain the opportunity to address any alleged dissatisfaction, then You agree to pay all costs associated with such action against orthobrain. Such costs shall include court fees, attorneys’ fees, filing fees, incidental costs, travel costs, lodging expenses, and any other costs, both foreseeable and unforeseeable, that are incurred by orthobrain in defending against such action. In other words, You acknowledge that orthobrain has limited resources, and, as such, You agree to incur any and all costs that are associated with defending any actions against orthobrain, whether initiated by You or by orthobrain.

If any part of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect.

orthobrain’s policies play an important role in maintaining a positive experience for our users. You are required to follow these policies and comply with orthobrain’s requests as set forth below. We depend heavily upon users to let us know about content that may violate our policies. After we are notified of a potential policy violation, we may review the content and take action, including restricting access to the content, removing the content, and limiting or terminating a user’s access to orthobrain products and services.
I. LIMITATIONS ON USE OF orthobrain’S COMMUNICATION PLATFORM
Because of the limited resources and storage capacity of orthobrain’s communication platform, orthobrain strictly limits the use of its communication platform to providing clarity about various reports that are generated when using orthobrain’s services. By using orthobrain’s communication platform, you agree to limit your communications accordingly.
II. LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, CONTACT INFORMATION, AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
orthobrain monitors its communication platform to ensure quality and timeliness of responses. This is because understanding the nature of the interactions on orthobrain’s communication platform allows orthobrain to make improvements that minimize the need for messaging in the future. Additionally, because your email address and/or telephone number identifies your account, sharing your email address or telephone number may compromise the security of your patient information and orthobrain’s platform. For these reasons, orthobrain prohibits you from distributing or exchanging personal information with others using orthobrain’s platform. Because the exchange or disclosure of personal information may also lead to unwanted, unmanageable, or unsecure communications outside of orthobrain’s platform (e.g., numerous telephone calls, unsecure non-HIPAA compliant email messages, lost attachments, etc.), orthobrain prohibits you from providing personal contact information to others using orthobrain’s platform. Distribution of other people’s personal and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, identification numbers of any sort, or account passwords without their permission using orthobrain’s communication platform is prohibited.
III. ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
Please do not use our Services to engage in illegal activities or to promote activities that are dangerous and illegal. To report content that you believe should be removed, please email notice@yourorthobrain.com.
IV. MALICIOUS PRACTICES, DECEPTIVE PRACTICES, AND UNSOLICITED OFFERS
Please do not transmit viruses, malware, or any other malicious or destructive code. Please do not distribute content that harms or interferes with the operation of the networks, servers, or other infrastructure of orthobrain or others. Please do not use orthobrain for scams or unsolicited offers. Please do not spam, including by sending unwanted promotional or commercial content, or unwanted or mass solicitation.
V. HARASSMENT, BULLYING, AND THREATS
We understand that, sometimes, you may not be completely satisfied with the products or services that are offered through orthobrain. However, we do not believe that this justifies or excuses harassing, bullying, or threatening behavior. We are a community of professionals and we expect professional and courteous behavior from our users and participants. As such, please do not engage in harassing, bullying, or threatening behavior and please do not incite others to engage in such activities. Harassment, bullying, or threatening behavior may result in a permanent ban from orthobrain. In emergency situations, orthobrain may escalate imminent threats of serious harm to law enforcement. Please keep in mind that online harassment is also illegal in many places and can have serious offline consequences for both the harasser and the victim.
VI. IMPERSONATION AND ACCOUNT HIJACKING
Please do not use the orthobrain platform to mislead or confuse users by pretending to be someone else or pretending to represent an organization you do not represent. We understand that, sometimes, one individual in a professional organization may act on another individual’s behalf. Unless expressly permitted to act on another’s behalf, please refrain from representing to others that you are somebody else. At bottom, please do not access another’s account without their permission.
VII. OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
