Free Questions and Answers

This Website allows users to post a question free of cost (“Free Question”) to the Medical Professional Members generally. By submitting a Free Question or answering a Free Question, you understand and agree that your question or answer will become part of our database. Without limiting the license granted to use Your Content, you agree that, as to all Free Questions and any answers, without any compensation to you (other than allowing you to use the Website), we will have the unrestricted right to use, reproduce, edit, modify, sell, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, communicate to the public, perform and display the submitted content (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any rights that may exist in the content.

We require Medical Professional Members to provide basic information about themselves to us (for example, information about the jurisdictions in which they are licensed, information about areas in which they practice and consider themselves competent and knowledgeable), and although we rely upon and pass on this information to users for their use, we do not separately verify this information and make no representations as to the qualifications of any Medical Professional Members.

You must investigate or perform your own due diligence concerning Medical Professional Members and their qualifications.

Content Disclaimer

We are neither a publisher nor a distributor of any content of any kind posted on this Website by its users including the Medical Professional Members (“User Content”). We have not reviewed, and cannot review, User Content, and cannot therefore be responsible for that content, its use or effects. By operating this Website, we do not represent or imply that we endorse any User Content, or that we believe such User Content to be accurate, useful or non-harmful. The views expressed therein are those of the posting users and Medical Professional Members and do not necessarily reflect our views. We assume no responsibility for the posts or the information contained therein, nor do we make any claims, promises or guarantees about the accuracy, suitability, competence or completeness of any of the information or advice in the posts. Use the advice and information provided AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Release

SleepDisorders.com provides the technological foundations or forum where the public can access both medical information and local medical professionals. SleepDisorders.com provides the conduit for medical information; however, we are not involved in the correspondence or conversation between the Medical Professional Member and you. SleepDisorders.com does not provide medical advice and is not engaged in the practice of medicine. We do not monitor, verify, or filter any of the responses from the Medical Professional Members, nor can we guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any medical professional’s response. SleepDisorders.com is neither a medical professional referral service nor engaged in making any recommendations about whether you should use a particular medical professional's services or not. You hereby acknowledge the above facts and unconditionally and irrevocably remise, release, and forever discharge SleepDisorders.com, of and from all, and all manner of, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, debts, dues, contracts, judgments, damages, claims, and demands whatsoever in law or equity, which you ever had, now have, or shall, or may have for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever arising out of the use of the Website or the relationship between you and any Medical Professional Member introduced to you through this Website.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive the provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

No Physician-Patient Relationship

You understand and agree that use of the Website does not in any way create or establish a physician-patient privilege or physician-patient relationship between you and any Medical Professional Member. You should recognize that the information provided on the Website (including past questions and answers and articles posted on the site) is provided for your general information. These materials should not be relied on as medical advice and reading and reviewing them is not a substitute for direct consultation with a medical professional about a specific medical problem.

Without limiting the foregoing, you understand and agree that submitting a Free Question or receiving an answer to a Free Question does not in any way create or establish an physician-patient relationship between you and any Medical Professional Member, or between you and us. The information and answers provided in response to Free Questions is intended to be generic medical information, not medical advice, and is based upon the very limited information provided by you in a Free Question. Specific medical advice can only be given with full knowledge of all of the facts and circumstances of your situation. If you are currently being treated by a doctor, that doctor is the best person to give you advice about a medical case or medical matter. Under no circumstances should the information obtained on this site be used to make decisions about the quality of service provided by a doctor or about the proper course of a medical matter.

No Physician-Patient Privilege

Because no physician-patient relationship is created through the use of the Website, or by submitting a Free Question or receiving an answer to a Free Question, no physician-patient confidentiality is formed between you and any Medical Professional Member, or between you and us. Medical Professional Members do not know the names of, or any other information about, the users whose Free Questions they answer except for the information provided in the Free Question itself.

Representing Adverse Parties

Because no physician-patient relationship is created through the use of the Website, or by submitting a Free Question or receiving an answer to a Free Question, an Medical Professional Member who answers your Free Question on the Website does not forfeit the right to represent adverse parties should you take your case to court.
