ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
CONSENT REQUIRED FOR USAGE OF DOCUMENTS
You must obtain prior express written consent from Guidant to use Documents (such as white papers, press releases, educational materials and FAQs) from any Services.
NO PROHIBITED OR UNLAWFUL USES
You must not use the Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these TAC. Any violations of these TAC will result in the revocation of (a) your right to use the Services, and (b) any username and password you may have been issued. You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any Services, other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to any Guidant server or to any of the Services, through hacking, password mining or any other means. You must not use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair any Guidant server, or the network(s) connected to any Guidant server. You further agree that you will not interfere or attempt to interfere with any other party’s use and enjoyment of any Services. You must not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available through the Services.
DUTY TO MAINTAIN SECURITY; REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Certain Services will require you to register with Guidant. If such registration is required, you must provide us with current, complete and accurate information as prompted by the applicable online registration form. Guidant will supply you with a username and password once you have supplied the required information. It is your sole responsibility to maintain the security and confidentiality of your password and account. You also have sole responsibility for any and all activities that occur under your account. In the event you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security, you agree to notify Guidant immediately and to provide all the facts and circumstances of the incident(s). Guidant shall have no liability for any damages or loss of any type that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, whether you authorized that usage or not. You acknowledge that you could be held liable for damages or losses incurred by Guidant or another party should someone else use your account or password, whether you authorized that usage or not. You must obtain the prior express permission of the account holder in order to use some other person’s account.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FEATURES
Certain Services include AI Features that generate responses using automated systems. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) outputs are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for your circumstances; (b) outputs are provided for general educational and informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, or business advice; (c) outputs are not a substitute for the judgment of a qualified professional who knows your specific facts and circumstances, and you should seek such guidance before acting; (d) no attorney-client, fiduciary, advisory, brokerage, or other professional relationship is created by your use of the AI Features; and (e) you are solely responsible for evaluating and verifying any output before relying on it. Guidant does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose of any output. Information you submit to the AI Features is handled as described in our Privacy Policy; you should not submit Social Security numbers, account numbers, passwords, or other sensitive information you would not want retained. We disclose that you are interacting with artificial intelligence at the start of the interaction and periodically during it, and we will confirm that fact if you ask at any point. You may request to speak with a member of our team at any time, and we will provide a means of doing so. Any description of the capabilities, accuracy, or expected results of the AI Features is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute a warranty or guarantee of performance.
YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO THE AI FEATURES
You retain ownership of the information and materials you submit to the AI Features. You grant Guidant a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and process your submissions and the resulting outputs in order to provide the Services to you and to evaluate, test, tune, and improve the accuracy, safety, and quality of the AI Features, including through review by Guidant personnel. You represent that you have the right to submit the information you provide and that doing so does not violate any obligation you owe to another person. We do not authorize our third-party artificial intelligence providers to use your submissions to train their own general-purpose models except as described in our Privacy Policy or as you otherwise consent.
The AI Features do not determine your eligibility for any Guidant product, financing, or service, and no automated decision producing a legal or similarly significant effect concerning you is made through them. Eligibility determinations are made by Guidant personnel through our standard qualification processes.
Where an AI Feature is identified as a beta or pre-release tool, it may be inaccurate or incomplete, and it is not a substitute for advice from someone who knows your specific circumstances. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any AI Feature at any time.
PAID PRODUCTS, MEMBERSHIPS AND DIGITAL CONTENT
Subject to your compliance with these TAC and your payment of all applicable fees, Guidant grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use purchased digital products and membership content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not resell, redistribute, republish, share account access, or create derivative works from any such product or content, and you may not use it to build or offer a competing product or service. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Prices are stated at the point of purchase and are charged in United States dollars. Unless expressly stated otherwise at the point of purchase, digital product purchases are one-time charges and do not automatically renew. Where we offer a satisfaction guarantee, you may request a refund by contacting us at the address stated in these TAC within thirty (30) days of your purchase, and we will process approved refunds to the original payment method.
Any comparative pricing, “value,” or savings figures shown in connection with our products are estimates presented for illustrative purposes, are based on our review of comparable offerings available in the market at the time of publication, and do not represent prices at which the individual components were previously offered for sale by Guidant.
