You may not install the software on more than one computer. A standalone workstation license does not include Internet access to the Licensed Materials.
- INSTITUTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION: An institutional subscription permits only certain individuals who are employed by or affiliated with the relevant Institution to access and use the Licensed Materials at any Internet-connected computer or on any Mobile Device validated for such use by ThePlasticsFella, but only for the clinical, educational or research purposes of the Institution. Further, access may be restricted to particular websites per the applicable invoice or additional subscription and license terms.

- USE OF PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT: The editors and authors of the Licensed Materials have conscientiously and carefully tried to create the identified diagnosis measures, treatment alternatives and drug dosages in the Licensed Materials that conform to the standards of professional practice that prevailed at the time of publication. However, standards and practices in medicine change as new data become available and the individual medical professional should consult a variety of sources. For this reason, only the most current release of the Licensed Materials should be consulted when information is sought. New updates of the Licensed Materials are issued periodically; do not rely on older versions. In addition, when prescribing medications, the user is advised to check the product information sheet accompanying each drug to verify conditions of use and identify any changes in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the agent to be administered is new, infrequently used or has a narrow therapeutic range.
The Licensed Materials describe basic principles of diagnosis and therapy. The information provided in the Licensed Materials is no substitute for individual patient assessment based upon the healthcare provider’s examination of each patient and consideration of laboratory data and other factors unique to the patient. The Licensed Materials should be used as a tool to help the user reach diagnostic and treatment decisions, bearing in mind that individual and unique circumstances may lead the user to reach decisions not presented in the Licensed Materials. The opinions expressed in the Licensed Materials are those of its authors and editors and may or may not represent the official position of any medical societies cooperating with, endorsing or recommending the Licensed Materials.
- LIMITED RIGHTS NOTICE. Any access to the Licensed Materials provided under contract to the U.S. Government is provided with limited rights. The Licensed Materials consist of data, as defined in 48 CFR 27.401 or 48 CFR 27.404-2(a), as applicable, and restricted computer software as defined in 48 CFR 27.401. The Licensed Materials may be reproduced and used by the U.S. Government, provided that they will not be used for or in connection with manufacturing and will not be disclosed outside of the U.S. Government or to any U.S. Government contractor, without the prior express written permission of ThePlasticsFella.

To the extent that ThePlasticsFella Processes Personal Data about Data Subjects located in the EEA (as such terms are defined in the Data Protection Annex) in performing its obligations under this Agreement, the terms displayed at EULA DPA or such other website address as may be notified to you from time to time (the “Data Protection Annex”) applies to such Processing and is incorporated into this Agreement. ThePlasticsFella may, in its sole discretion, amend or replace the Data Protection Annex at any time without notice to you and you should review the terms of the latest Data Protection Annex that applies to this Agreement at regular intervals.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THEPLASTICSFELLA’S, ITS AFFILIATES’ OR ITS LICENSORS’ LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSS TO YOU AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY IN THE AGGREGATE EXCEED THE FEES PAID TO THEPLASTICSFELLA FOR YOUR USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEEDING THE CLAIM.
