- Special Offers Terms Of Use
Date of Last Revision: June 01, 2017
The RealSelf Special Offers Program is a platform where healthcare professionals can place promotions related to their services (“Special Offer”) on the healthcare professional’s realself.com profile page. These RealSelf Special Offers Terms of Use ("Special Offers Terms") are by and between RealSelf, Inc. ("RealSelf") and the healthcare professional uploading and posting a Special Offer ("Healthcare Professional" or “you”) on realself.com and govern the terms of Healthcare Professional’s participation in the RealSelf Special Offers Program on the RealSelf website and its mobile applications and/or any affiliated platforms (collectively, “Site”). In addition, the RealSelf Special Offers Program is subject to the RealSelf Healthcare Professional Terms of Use, the RealSelf Privacy Policy and other policies and requirements published by RealSelf from time to time (collectively, "Policies"), which are incorporated herein by reference. RealSelf may modify the Policies at any time. RealSelf reserves the right to refuse any Special Offer, for any reason. By placing a Special Offer, you accept and agree to be bound by these Special Offers Terms and these Special Offer Terms are effective as of the date you place a Special Offer with RealSelf.
1. Healthcare Professional’s Responsibilities. It is Healthcare Professional’s responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of Healthcare Professional’s account information, including all password(s) associated with Healthcare Professional’s account. In addition, Healthcare Professional is responsible for all activities that occur in connection with Healthcare Professional’s account. Further, Healthcare Professional agrees to notify RealSelf of any unauthorized use of Healthcare Professional’s account and RealSelf reserves the right to close Healthcare Professional’s account at any time for any or no reason. If Healthcare Professional submits a Special Offer through a third party or employee (an "Agent"), RealSelf and Healthcare Professional agree and acknowledge that these Special Offer Terms apply to that Agent. Further, Healthcare Professional represents and warrants to RealSelf that the Agent is authorized to act on behalf of Healthcare Professional and is bound to these Special Offer Terms. Healthcare Professional is solely responsible for: (i) the Special Offer(s) and the information associated with the Special Offer(s) whether generated by or on behalf of Healthcare Professional; and (ii) fulfillment of the services and products (collectively "Healthcare Professional Services") specified in the Special Offer.
Healthcare Professional’s use of the Site in a manner not associated with the RealSelf Special Offers Program, including any use by an Agent, is governed by the Healthcare Professional Terms of Service. Any conflict between these RealSelf Special Offer Terms and the Healthcare Professional Terms of Service shall be resolved in favor of these RealSelf Special Offer Terms.
2. Display of Special Offers. RealSelf will display Special Offers on www.realself.com, its mobile application and other web sites on which RealSelf displays Special Offers (the "RealSelf Site”), for a period of time as indicated in the Healthcare Professional's offer settings and in RealSelf’s sole discretion. RealSelf may display the Special Offers on web pages on the RealSelf Site where the Healthcare Professional posts answers to community members’ questions, on the Healthcare Professional’s profile page, on listings for offers available in a geographical region or on any other web page or location on the Site per the discretion of RealSelf. RealSelf cannot guarantee the number of views for Special Offers.
3. Special Offers Correction. RealSelf is under no obligation and does not review or pre-screen the Special Offers prior to their display on the RealSelf Site. In addition, under no circumstances will RealSelf be liable in any way for any Special Offers posted by Healthcare Professional or Healthcare Professional’s Agent. RealSelf or users of the RealSelf Site may identify concerns with any given Special Offer (such as an error in the posting of the Special Offer or that the Special Offer violates these Special Offers Terms). RealSelf shall send Healthcare Professional (or Healthcare Professional’s Agent) an email notifying the Healthcare Professional of the concern regarding the Special Offer and Healthcare Professional or Healthcare Professional’s Agent shall address that concern.
If Healthcare Professional does not modify the Special Offer to comply with such notice, RealSelf may decide to remove the Special Offer by changing status to “expired”. In addition, RealSelf may remove a Special Offer at any time in its sole discretion that in the sole judgment of RealSelf violates these Special Offers Terms or which may be illegal or fraudulent or for any or no reason. As a result, Healthcare Professional is solely responsible at Healthcare Professional’s sole cost and expense for creating backup copies and replacing any Special Offer(s) that Healthcare Professional uploads and posts on the RealSelf Site or provides to RealSelf. RealSelf shall only have the ability to remove Special Offers but in no way whatsoever shall RealSelf modify the Special Offer.
4. Changes to Special Offers Terms; Disclaimer. RealSelf reserves the right to change these Special Offers Terms at any time without liability, and Healthcare Professional's use of the RealSelf Special Offers Program after notice of such changes constitutes Healthcare Professional's acceptance of the new Special Offers Terms. RealSelf may give notice as described in Section 12 below, or RealSelf may give notice by updating the terms on this web page. In addition, RealSelf disclaims all guarantees regarding positioning, levels, quality, or timing of: (i) availability and delivery of Special Offers on the RealSelf Site or section thereof; (ii) conversions or other results for any Special Offers; or (iii) the adjacency or position of ads or Special Offers on the RealSelf Site.
5. Cancellation/Suspension. Healthcare Professional may discontinue the publication of its Special Offers through Healthcare Professional's account. In the event Healthcare Professional or RealSelf (under Section 4, or otherwise) stops the display of Healthcare Professional's Special Offers, Healthcare Professional is responsible to restart the display, which may require a modification to the Special Offer details. Special Offers terminated online will cease to be displayed shortly after cancellation or suspension. RealSelf reserves the right to terminate the RealSelf Special Offers Program and/or these Special Offers Terms at any time. Sections 1, 6-12 will survive any termination of these Special Offers Terms.
6. Prohibited Uses. Healthcare Professional shall not and shall not authorize any Agent or other party to post a Special Offer that advertises anything illegal or engage in any illegal or fraudulent business practice or post a Special Offer that violates any local, state or federal law, rule or regulation.

When Healthcare Professional or Healthcare Professional’s Agent posts Special Offer(s) on the RealSelf Site, you authorize and direct RealSelf to make such copies as RealSelf deems necessary, to facilitate the posting and storage of the Special Offer(s) on the RealSelf Site. In addition, with respect to the Special Offer(s) that you elect to post or transmit for inclusion in or on the RealSelf Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to RealSelf, its affiliates and partners, a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, transferable license (with the right to sublicense) to use, reproduce, translate, alter, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, adapt, publish, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such Special Offer(s), in whole or in part, in all present and future media, known or unknown, in any manner relating to the RealSelf Site (including, without limitation, in connection with the appearance of such Special Offer(s) on the RealSelf Site and on the websites of RealSelf affiliates, partners and others with whom RealSelf may have business relationships relating to the Site) and the distribution and promotion of the RealSelf Site.
