These Terms and Conditions of Use (these “Terms of Use”) are a legal agreement between you, a user of the Platform (“You”), and Good Measures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with a business address at 60 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109 (“Good Measures,” “we,” “us,” “our”) concerning Your use of the GoodMeasures.com website (collectively with all website-related Services and Content (as both defined in Section 2 below), the “Platform”). Any use of the Platform is also governed by our Website Privacy Policy and, to the extent applicable, our Notice of Privacy Practices, both of which are incorporated herein. Your use of the Platform constitutes your confirmation that you have read and accept our Website Privacy Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices. Some pages within the Platform may contain supplemental terms and conditions, to which you must agree to use the relevant pages, Services or Content. Good Measures may revise these Terms of Use, the Website Privacy Policy, the Notice of Privacy Practices or such supplemental terms and conditions at any time. Any such revision will be effective upon its being posted on the relevant page of the Platform (which, for a revision of these Terms of Use, will be posted on this page), and Your continued use of the Platform after any such revision will be considered Your acceptance thereof. For this reason, each time you use the Platform, you should visit and review these Terms of Use, our Website Privacy Policy and our Notice of Privacy Practices. The rights of Good Measures under these Terms of Use are cumulative with the rights of Good Measures under any other written agreement You may have with us.

Tampering with any portion of the Platform, providing untruthful or inaccurate information, misrepresenting the identity of a user or conducting fraudulent activities on the Platform are prohibited and constitute a breach of these Terms of Use. Because the Platform may be accessed internationally, You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including local laws and regulations in the country in which You reside or from which you access the Platform. Good Measures and its licensors and content and service providers reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, or disable access to the Platform, or any portion thereof, at any time without notice. In no event will Good Measures be liable for the removal of or disabling of access to the Platform or any portion thereof. Good Measures may also impose limits on the use of or access to the Platform, in any case and without notice or liability.

1.4. Platform Security. You are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the Platform, including, without limitation, (a) accessing data not intended for You as a user or logging onto a server or an account which You are not authorized to access; (b) attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach or circumvent security or authentication measures without proper authorization; (c) attempting to interfere with service to any user, host, or network, including, without limitation, via means of submitting a virus to the Platform, overloading, “flooding,” “spamming,” “mailbombing,” or “crashing”; (d) sending or posting unsolicited email or other messages, including promotions or advertising of products or services; (e) forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any email or posting; (f) using or attempting to use any engine, software, tool, agent, or other device or mechanism (including without limitation browsers, spiders, robots, avatars, scrapers or intelligent agents) to navigate or search the Platform other than the search engine and search agents available on the Platform and other than generally available third party web browsers; or (g) otherwise invading the privacy of, obtaining the identity of, or obtaining any personal information about any user of the Platform.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any user names, passwords, security questions, and answers.

It is your responsibility to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your passwords or other security data.

2. SERVICES, CONTENT, AND DATA

2.1. Services. Good Measures.com may depend upon, interact with or enable access to Good Measures’ or third parties’ services or websites (each, a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”), which may in each case be accompanied by separate terms of use. Use of each Service may require that You accept additional terms of use. You must comply with the applicable Service terms of use when using the Service and Platform. Good Measures does not endorse, and hereby disclaims all liability or responsibility to You or any other person for, any third-party Services.

2.2. Content. All content that Good Measures provides (“Content”), excluding individualized information provided in a one-on-one communication by a Good Measures registered dietitian, is general in nature and is for informational purposes only. Content may include nutritional or exercise information or information as diverse as location data. Content may also include direct communications with a Good Measures associate or dietitian through e-mail, telephone, or the Internet. The Content is provided on an “AS IS” basis, and is dependent in some cases on the quality of information that You and other third parties provide to Good Measures. You should not assume that the Content is complete or up-to-date, and should not use the Content for any purpose for which precision is required. If You have questions regarding the significance for You of information that You learn from the Content, ask Your physician, dietitian, or other clinically trained healthcare provider.

Good Measures does not engage in the practice of medicine, and is not a healthcare provider (although Good Measures’ registered dietitians who provide registered dietitian services are providers of registered dietitian services). That means, among other things, that we do not diagnose illnesses and we do not recommend treatments. You remain responsible for the food You eat, for the supplements You take, and for any physical exertion You undertake. Always seek the advice of Your physician, dietitian, or other clinically trained healthcare provider with any questions You have regarding a medical condition (including food allergies; pregnancy; nursing; or chronic conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease) before using any of the material we provide to You as part of the Platform.

Any diagnosis or treatment decisions made by You should be made in consultation with Your qualified healthcare provider. Do not rely solely on the Content or on anything You have received via the Platform to make medical or treatment decisions. NEVER DISREGARD MEDICAL ADVICE OR DELAY IN SEEKING IT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU HAVE READ ON THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING ANY OF OUR REPORTS, COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER CONTENT.

IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL YOUR DOCTOR OR 911 IMMEDIATELY.

2.3. Third-Party and Your Information. Good Measures may provide You, other Platform users, and other third parties with the opportunity to share or distribute information or other content through the Platform, and Good Measures may incorporate such information or content into the Platform (and for clarity, all the foregoing information is considered “Content” herein). Such information or content may, for example, relate to the nutritional content of a particular recipe. Good Measures may not review such information or content for accuracy or appropriateness, but reserves the right to review, edit or delete any such information or content in its sole discretion. In addition, Good Measures may reference third party names, marks, products, services or resources, or provide links to third party websites, which are provided solely as a convenience to You. Good Measures does not endorse, and hereby disclaims all liability or responsibility to You or any other person for, any such information or content provided by third parties, or any such third party product, service, resource or website. If You decide to link to any such third party website, you do so entirely at your own risk. You agree that You will not share or distribute any information or content through the Platform that is inaccurate, incomplete, harmful, obscene; that is comprised of computer viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings or other forms of “spam”; or that is subject to any copyright or other property right or right of privacy or publicity that would preclude You lawfully from so sharing or distributing or from licensing or providing to Good Measures pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 of these Terms of Use. You agree to indemnify us for all information or content that you provide through the Platform.

2.4. DMCA Notice. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) and other applicable law, if we are notified or determine, in our sole discretion, that You are an infringer of a third party’s intellectual property rights, we will terminate Your access to the Platform. If You are a copyright owner and You believe that any user-provided Content or any other Content present on the Platform infringes upon a copyright You own, You or Your agent may send us written notice pursuant to the DMCA requesting that we remove the material or restrict access to it. If You are a user of the Platform that believes that Your user-provided Content that was removed, or to which access was disabled, is not infringing, or that You are permitted pursuant to applicable law or have the permission of the copyright owner or his, her, or its agent to exploit Your user-provided Content, You may send us a counter-notice. Please visit http://copyright.gov for further information if You wish to send a notice or counter-notice to us. All notices, counter-notices, and complaints should be sent to us at the following address: privacy@goodmeasures.com.

2.5. Consent to Collection and Use of Technical Data; Website Privacy Policy. You agree that Good Measures may collect and use technical data and information, including data and information about Your computer, device, system and application software, peripherals, and use of the Service that is gathered periodically to facilitate product support and other services related to the Platform. To the extent such data are associated with your health information, our use of such data is covered by our Notice of Privacy Practices. Third party service providers may also collect and use such data in accordance with the terms of use applicable to each Service. In addition, You agree to the collection, use and disclosure of personal and non-personal information as specified in our Website Privacy Policy and our Notice of Privacy Practices.

2.6. Your Account. If you determine that you want to terminate your Good Measures account, please call Good Measures at 888-320-1776 to make this request.
