PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. These terms of use describe the rules for users (“you” or “your”) of any Panascope website (“Panascope website”). A Panascope website may be used only for information purposes and, in certain circumstances, to place secured orders according to the applicable Panascope User Agreement. By using a Panascope website or uploading materials to a Panascope website, you agree to abide by the terms of use set forth in this notice (“Terms of Use”) and Panascope’s Privacy Statement (“Privacy Statement”). If you do not agree to abide by the Terms of Use and the Privacy Statement, do not use a Panascope website in any manner including but not limited to uploading or downloading any information or material.

All Panascope websites are owned and operated by Panascope. “Panascope” is the name we use to refer to our whole business, including Panascope Corporation and any of the companies that it controls such as its subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates.

By accessing a Panascope website, you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree to the following terms, please note that you are not allowed to use any Panascope websites. The Terms of Use and Privacy Statement apply to all Panascope websites. Panascope and its affiliates also operate other websites. The Terms of Use may also apply to those other websites. Please review the Terms of Use posted on those other Panascope websites when you visit them. Panascope may change the Terms of Use at any time. By using a Panascope website, you represent and warrant that you accept these and any future version of the Terms of Use. These Terms of Use were last updated on the date indicated at the end of this document.

The Terms of Use apply exclusively to your access to and use of any Panascope website and do not alter the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Panascope or its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates regarding other topics than the use of any Panascope website.

Please read our Privacy Statement to understand the privacy rules about your use of Panascope websites. Except as written in any other user agreements, disclaimers, policies, terms of use, statements, or other notices on a Panascope website, the Terms of Use and our Privacy Statement are the complete agreement between you and Panascope with respect to your use of Panascope websites. You may be subject to additional terms that may apply when you access particular services or materials on certain areas of a Panascope website or by following links that take you away from a Panascope website.

The information contained in Panascope websites (i) are for general guidance on matters of interest only and shall not be assimilated to or substituted for professional advice including but not limited to medical, legal, or infection control advice, and (ii) do not constitute an offer of or solicitation for the purchase of products or services.

A reference to a Panascope product or service on a Panascope website does not imply that such product or service is or will be available in your country where it may be subject to different regulations and conditions of use. Such reference does not imply any intention on our part to sell this product or service in your country and you should always rely on product information especially created for your country. Panascope’s website contains information about products and services that may or may not be available in any particular country or region of the world, may be available under different trademarks in different countries and where applicable may be approved or cleared by a government regulatory body for sale or use with different indications and restrictions in different countries.

Although accessible by others, the product information on a public Panascope website is intended for use by residents of the country where Panascope operates that specific website unless designated by a national flag or regional symbol. Panascope’s websites may link to other websites produced by Panascope’s various operating divisions and subsidiaries, some of which are outside your home country. Those Panascope websites may have information that is appropriate only to the particular originating country or region where the website is based. You should not construe anything on a linked website as a promotion or solicitation for any product or for the use of any product that is not authorized by the laws and regulations of the country where you are located.

Panascope’s websites may contain from time to time information related to various health, medical, sterilization, infection control, and healthcare facility management topics. Such information is not meant to be a substitute for the advice provided by a physician, infection control specialist, biomedical engineer, or other qualified professional. You should not use the information contained herein for diagnosing a health or fitness problem or disease, or for designing or validating sterilization processes. You should always consult a qualified professional to determine what courses of treatment, equipment configuration, or sterilization protocols, if any, may be appropriate for your specific situation.

Copyrights and Trademarks. The contents of Panascope’s websites are protected by worldwide copyright and trademark laws. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

For users accessing secured Panascope websites for professional use in connection with healthcare facility operations, sterilization processes, or animal care, you expressly agree that you will not provide, discuss or refer to any information that violates applicable patient privacy laws (such as HIPAA) or any confidential information without proper authorization.

Website Updates. All content available through a Panascope website, including but not limited to data, technical drawings, configurations, specifications, quote and order information and catalog listings are believed to be accurate. However, you should independently evaluate the accuracy of the information and the usefulness for your particular needs of any content, product or service available through any Panascope website. Specifications for products and services are subject to change without notice and Panascope reserves the right to make changes without notice to processing, materials or configuration. Panascope does not guarantee that products or services that are listed online will be available at the time of your order.

Panascope may terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of a Panascope website, including the availability of any features, at any time.

Panascope may terminate the authorization and rights provided herein and your use of any Panascope website at any time in its sole discretion and upon such termination, you shall immediately destroy all materials that you have downloaded from any Panascope website.

Links to Other Websites. For your easy accessibility, Panascope may include links to websites on the internet that are owned or operated by third-parties to which these Terms of Use do not apply. Panascope is not responsible for the content of such other websites. You also agree that Panascope has no control over the content on third-party websites and cannot assume any responsibility for material created or published by such third-party websites. Therefore, when linking to such a third-party website, you should review and agree to that website’s rules of use before using such website. In addition, a summary and/or link to a non-Panascope website does not imply that Panascope endorses the website or the products or services, or warrants the accuracy of any content referenced in such third-party website. Panascope shall not be liable for any damages or injury arising from users’ access to or inability to access such websites.

Links to a Panascope Website. All links to a Panascope website must be approved in writing by Panascope, except that Panascope consents to links in which: (a) the link is a text-only link containing only the title of the home page of Panascope’s website, (b) the link “points” only to the home page of Panascope’s website and not to deeper pages, (c) the link, when activated by a user, displays this home page of Panascope’s website in full-screen and not within a “frame” on the linked website, and (d) the appearance, position, and other aspects of the link do not (i) create the false appearance that an entity or its activities or products are associated with or sponsored by Panascope or its affiliates, or (ii) damage or dilute the goodwill associated with the name and trademarks of Panascope or its affiliates. In any event you agree that Panascope reserves the right to withdraw this consent to link without reason or notice and at any time and you further undertake to delete any link for which Panascope’s consent has been withdrawn.

Any personally identifiable information transmitted to a Panascope website is governed by Panascope’s Privacy Statement, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth in these Terms of Use. Panascope shall be free to use or copy all other information in any such communications, including any ideas, inventions, concepts, techniques or know-how disclosed therein, for any purposes.

To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, Panascope and its affiliates disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. You expressly agree that any use of a Panascope website, including all content, data or software distributed by, downloaded or accessed from or through a Panascope website is at your sole risk. You understand and agree that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your business, your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of such content, data and/or software.

You acknowledge that Panascope does not control in any respect any information, products or services offered by third-parties through any website including a Panascope website. Except as otherwise agreed in writing, Panascope and its affiliates assume no responsibility for and make no warranty or representation as to the accuracy, currency, completeness, reliability or usefulness of any advice, opinion, summary, statement or other content or of any products or services distributed or made available by third-parties through any third-party or Panascope websites.

Panascope does not make any warranty that its websites or its content will meet your requirements, or that a Panascope website or its content will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free or that defects, if any, will be corrected. Nor does Panascope make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from use of a Panascope website or its content or as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of any information obtained through use of any Panascope website.

Panascope assumes no responsibility for any damages suffered by a user, including, but not limited to, loss of data from delays, nondeliveries of content or email, errors, system down time, misdeliveries of content or email, network or system outages, file corruption, or service interruptions caused by the negligence of Panascope, its affiliates, its licensors, or a user’s own errors and/or omissions.

Except as otherwise provided under applicable laws and regulations regarding the security of personal data, Panascope disclaims any warranty or representation that confidentiality of information transmitted through a Panascope website will be maintained.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Panascope or third-parties through any Panascope website shall create any warranty.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain warranties or conditions, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

Limitation of Liability. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, SHALL Panascope OR ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR THE INABILITY TO USE A Panascope WEBSITE OR ANY CONTENT CONTAINED ON A Panascope WEBSITE, OR, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS REGARDING THE SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA, RESULTING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA, OR OTHER INFORMATION THAT IS SENT OR RECEIVED OR NOT SENT OR RECEIVED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLES, EVEN IF Panascope HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE LIABILITY OF Panascope WOULD IN SUCH CASE BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
