I FURTHER WARRANT THAT ALL TREATMENT DECISIONS ARE BASED ENTIRELY UPON MY PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL JUDGMENTS, MY EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS WITH PRIVILEGES TO PROVIDE HEALTH CARE ITEMS AND SERVICES TO MY PATIENTS.

APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO ME. DRFIRST AND ITS AFFILIATES DO NOT WARRANT THAT USE OF FUZION BY REGISTERED AUTHORIZED END USERS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR VIRUS FREE. THE SUBMISSION OF ANY INFORMATION THROUGH FUZION IS DONE AT MY OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND I WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO MY COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT MAY RESULT FROM SUCH ACTIVITIES OR FROM RELIANCE UPON FUZION.

MY USE OF FUZION IS AT MY OWN RISK. I UNDERSTAND THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL DRFIRST OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARISING DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR FROM LOSS OR INACCURACY OF INFORMATION, TO THE EXTENT ANY OF THE FOREGOING ARISES IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR MY USE OR INABILITY TO USE FUZION, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF DRFIRST WAS ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE LIKELY OR POSSIBLE.

These Terms will be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, excluding conflict of law principles. I consent to jurisdiction and venue exclusively in the State of Maryland. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between me and DrFirst with regard to the matters described herein and govern my use of Fuzion, superseding any prior agreements between me and DrFirst with respect thereto. The failure of DrFirst to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these terms 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 these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. I 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 Fuzion or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the underlying agreement the entity on your behalf has entered into with us, the terms of the underlying agreement shall control.
