enhanced online experience for the visitor. Information
tracked includes non-personal information such as the
type of operating system in use (e.g., Macintosh,
Windows) and the type of browser being used by the
visitor (e.g. Netscape, Internet Explorer).
Other uses

number of visitors to the site but only in an aggregate
and non-personally-identifiable form. E-mail addresses
and other personally identifiable data about visitors to
this site are known only when voluntarily submitted by
you.

required to comply with a law, regulation, court order,
or other legal process. Finally, UMR may share personal
information to protect our rights or property.

other posters or parties. In addition, UMR website may
contain links to other sites. We make every possible

User
Agreement for UMR websites
As a condition of your reviewing or using this website,
you agree to the Terms and Conditions that follow.
Please read them carefully, because by using or
reviewing our sites, you automatically agree to them.
(1) You
agree not to re-use material from
www.usmedicalresearch.org or from any other World Wide
website operated by UMR, Inc. In particular, you agree
not to copy, distribute, republish, upload, post, or
transmit anything unless you first get our written
consent. There's one exception: you may download
material onto one computer for your personal,
non-commercial use only, provided you don't delete or
change any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary
notices. If you modify the materials or use them for any
other purpose, you'll be violating our intellectual
property rights, unless you do so as part of our
program.
(2)
Everything you download -- the software, plus all files,
all images incorporated in or generated by the software,
and all data accompanying it -- is considered a limited
license to you by UMR. That means that we retain full
and complete title to the software and to all of the
associated intellectual property rights. So, you're not
allowed to redistribute (except as part of our "e-mail
this page to a friend" program) or sell the material --
or to reverse-engineer, disassemble or otherwise convert
it to any other form that people can use.
LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY
It's very important for you to read the next two
sections carefully -- so important, in fact, that the
law requires us to put this material in capital letters.
UMR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY THAT
ACCOMPANY OR RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OUR SITES.
THESE
INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO) DAMAGES OR INJURY
CAUSED BY ANY USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITES,
USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) ANY SITE TO WHICH YOU
HYPERLINK FROM OUR SITES; FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR,
OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR
TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS OR LINE FAILURE.
KEEP IN
MIND THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING
DAMAGES INTENDED TO COMPENSATE SOMEONE DIRECTLY FOR A
LOSS OR INJURY; DAMAGES REASONABLY EXPECTED TO RESULT
FROM A LOSS OR INJURY (LEGALLY CALLED "CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES"); OTHER MISCELLANEOUS DAMAGES AND EXPENSES
RESULTING DIRECTLY FROM A LOSS OR INJURY (CALLED
"INCIDENTAL DAMAGES").
FURTHERMORE, WE ARE NOT LIABLE EVEN IF WE'VE BEEN
NEGLIGENT OR IF OUR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES -- OR BOTH.
EXCEPTION:
IN CERTAIN STATES THE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW US TO LIMIT OR
EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR THESE "INCIDENTAL" OR
"CONSEQUENTIAL" DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY, AND YOU MAY INDEED HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECOVER
THESE TYPES OF DAMAGES.
BUT IN ANY
EVENT, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES,
INJURIES AND CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND (WHETHER THE DAMAGES
ARE CLAIMED UNDER THE TERMS OF A CONTRACT, OR THEY'RE
CLAIMED TO BE CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER WRONGFUL
CONDUCT, OR THEY'RE CLAIMED UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL
THEORY) WILL NOT BE GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO
