Copyright

All content included on this site, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips and software, is the property of BioMedical Science Writers and protected by U.S. and international copyright laws. The compilation of all content on this site is the exclusive property of BioMedical Science Writers. Any reproduction, modification, distribution, transmission, republication, display or performance of the content on this site is strictly prohibited.

Limitation of Liability

BioMedical Science Writers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of or relating to this agreement, resulting from the use or the inability to use the site or messages received or products or services rendered or resulting from unauthorized access to or alteration of the user's transmissions or data, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, even if BioMedical Science Writers has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Applicable Law

BioMedical Science Writers, LLC is registered in the State of Montana, USA. As such, the laws of the State of Montana will govern these disclaimers, terms and conditions, without giving effect to any principles of conflict of laws. We reserve the right to make changes to our site and these disclaimers, terms and conditions at any time. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision or portion of the Terms of Service to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect. In the unlikely event that we have any claims against each other (other than ours solely related to payments of our invoices), we both agree to try to resolve them privately for a 60-day period. If we cannot resolve them, they will be arbitrated within 180 days by an arbitrator we both agree upon. The arbitrators shall follow substantive Montana law. Awards must state all findings and reasoning in writing. No lost profits or punitive or emotional distress damages may be awarded. The award will be binding (no appeals) and may be enforced as a judgment in any court. The arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party.

Additional Terms

Although BioMedical Science Writers returns documents in fully edited form, the changes we make when editing or rewriting documents are suggestions only. It is your sole responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of all advice and services rendered. We do not assume final sign-off responsibility, and are not financially responsible for any loss, financial or otherwise, resulting from textual errors in the documents we work on. BioMedical Science Writers' services do not include fact checking unless a specific request has been made and financial terms are agreed upon before the work is begun. Otherwise, the veracity of all factual claims are your responsibility. All estimated turnaround times are assumed to begin when BioMedical Science Writers receives your confirmation of the "terms". Such times refer to a single editing event with an explicit target result in view. Additions of materials, rewrites, or change of target journal or any activity, which alters the specific agreement will be considered to be outside the scope of the editing event. BioMedical Science Writers reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at our discretion. You are responsible for supplying BioMedical Science Writers with a current and accurate name, billing address, phone number, and email address, and you have an ongoing obligation to keep this information current. You are responsible for supplying appropriate payment in U.S. funds for all services performed by BioMedical Science Writers. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms of Service will be effective only if in writing and signed by BioMedical Science Writers.
