Furthermore, other users may provide feedback on certain aspects of the Site and the Company does not endorse any such feedback.

Unless otherwise agreed to by you and Company in a separate executed agreement, health-related information provided through this Site is intended as an educational aid only and is not intended as medical advice for individual conditions or treatment.

The receipt of any questions or feedback you submit to Company does not create a professional relationship and does not create any privacy interests other than those described in our Privacy Policy.
Criteria for Case Selection.
As the Company strives to provide the maximum educational value to the providers submitting cases for multidisciplinary review, providers must adhere to the following criteria for proper submission of cases:
Cases must be submitted using our intake form for that particular diagnosis, or at a minimum have all the required information to allow completion of the form on behalf of the submitter. Incomplete forms or medical records will not be processed for inclusion in a panel discussion.
Providers must have source documentation of the content of these forms available to submit for verification purposes at Company’s request.
Patient’s signature on Company’s informed consent form for release of information and discussion of the case, as well as permission to archive for future educational use, must be obtained.
Case submissions, once complete, will be scheduled for panel discussion on a first-come, first-served basis, provided the tumor board slots are available.
Substantially similar cases will be lumped together as if they are a single case with distinguishing nuances incorporated in the discussion to highlight differences in various approaches, if any.
Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to deem cases unsuitable for inclusion in a multidisciplinary panel discussion. Priority will be given to newly diagnosed cases that have not started treatment, where the educational value to the provider is of more practical benefit.
Company does not guarantee that a case will be reviewed by any specific medical specialist or reviewed at all. You may personally contact any medical specialist that you learn about through the Site for your personal purposes.
Company may, at its sole discretion, convene single-specialty panels (e.g. Medical Oncology only) for cases that do not require input from a surgeon or a radiation oncologist and need an educational discussion surrounding treatment with drugs such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, antibody therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, vaccines or experimental agents, etc.
While the Company will make an effort to accommodate as many cases as possible within reason, the Company does not guarantee that any particular case will be reviewed, whether due to reasons such as, but not limited to, lack of available slots, unsuitability of the case, or incomplete information or otherwise. The Company may notify the submitting provider and attempt to direct the provider to existing educational material in its archives that may be applicable to the case or point to additional resources, but has no obligation to do so. The Company does not guarantee all submissions will lead to a presentation and discussion.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.
This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between you and us. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.
This Provision provides that all disputes between you and us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of These Terms constitutes a waiver of your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. We prefer this because we believe arbitration is less drama-filled than litigation. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means you would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). EVERYONE AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by emailing to us at copyrightagent@precisca.com the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If we do not resolve the Dispute within forty-five (45) days after receiving your notification, than you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out
Notwithstanding the above, your or we may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of this Provision by emailing us at copyrightagent@precisca.com the following information: (1) your name; (2) your address; and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration. Either way, we will not take any decision you make personally. In fact, we promise that your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with us. But, we do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
Arbitration Procedures
If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration only, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.
For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action or representative procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.
Because this Portal and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
Location of Arbitration – You or we may initiate arbitration in either Florida or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as you place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, we will pay all arbitration filing fees and AAA or JAMS hearing fees and any arbitrator’s hearing fees, costs and expenses upon your written request to the arbitrator given at or before the first evidentiary hearing in the arbitration. But, you will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver
Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both you and we specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of this Portal can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
Jury Waiver
You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms, you and we are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and we might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.
Severability
If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.
Continuation
This Provision shall survive the termination of your account with us or our affiliates and your discontinued use of this Portal. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require us to adhere to the present language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.
Miscellaneous.
The provisions and conditions of these Terms constitute the entire agreement between Company and you related to the use of the Service and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings not incorporated in these Terms in connection with your use of the Service. These Terms may be modified only by a written amendment signed by the parties (including electronically).
Company does not waive any rights set forth in these Terms or our right to enforce these Terms by merely choosing not to exercise or enforce our rights in a particular circumstance. If any application of a provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of these Terms, or the application of such provision in other circumstances, will not be affected by such holding and every other provision may be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You cannot assign or transfer your rights under these Terms to anyone without the prior written approval of Company. However, Company may assign or transfer it without your consent to a Company affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, spin-out, divestiture, or other corporate or business combination transaction. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section shall be void.
