2. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SERVICE
2.1 We design, develop, operate and maintain software applications (the “App(s)”) to help people track their data, including for use in research projects and studies and with healthcare professionals. We create our own uMotif Apps and we work with partners to create branded Apps, using our technology for our partners to make available to their clients. Our partners may include, for example, health professionals, research institutions and pharmaceutical companies.
2.2 We license use of the Service to you on the basis of these Terms. The ways in which you use the App(s) may also be controlled by the rules or policies applied by any appstore provider or operator from whose site you downloaded the App(s) (“Appstore Rules”). We remain the owner of the Service at all times.
2.3 We may need to change these Terms to reflect changes in law or best practices or to deal with additional features which we introduce. We will give you at least 30 days' notice of any change by sending you an email with details of the change or notifying you of a change when you next start the App(s). If you do not accept the notified changes you may continue to use the App(s) and the Service in accordance with the existing terms but certain new features may not be available to you.
2.4 From time to time, updates to the App(s) may be issued through your appstore provider to improve performance, enhance functionality, reflect changes to the operating system or address security issues, although these will not materially change the functionality of the App(s).

Your data will not be viewable by other patient users unless you elect otherwise. It may also be possible for your clinicians or health professionals to add data to your account (for example, a diary note, or a new task) as well as view any data you have entered. If you do not want your data to be viewed by anyone else, please email contact@uMotif.com - however you should be aware that this may affect how you and your clinicians use the Service.

10. LIMITATION OF OUR LIABILITY
10.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you accepted these Terms, both you and we knew it might happen.

10.3 We are not liable for business losses. The App(s) are for domestic and private use. If you use the App(s) for any commercial, business or resale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
10.4 uMotif cannot be and is not liable for any damages which result from your failure to continue your healthcare program, pathway or treatment as directed by your healthcare professionals. We are not doctors and the App(s) and Service do not replace your usual healthcare provider. We simply provide a technology to help you track your data, usually as part of a research project or study, or with a medical, health or other professional, who may be our partner
10.5 The App(s) and the Services are provided for data capture purposes only. They do not offer any form of advice or guidance on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before starting any health program, research project, study or pathway. The information provided through the App(s) and the Service does not constitute medical advice or act as a substitute for medical treatment – the App(s) and the Service provide a tool for tracking the user’s data only.
10.6 You must check that the App(s) and the Services are suitable for you. The App(s) and the Services have not been developed to meet your individual requirements. Please check that the facilities and functions of the App(s) and Services (as described on the Appstore) meet your requirements.
