Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using Medical Terminology DB, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website.

Educational information only

The website provides general medical terminology information for education and reference. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, emergency guidance, or a professional healthcare relationship.

Never delay seeking professional care, disregard professional advice, or make a medical decision solely because of information found here. See the full Medical Disclaimer.

Acceptable use

You may use the website for lawful personal, educational, and informational purposes. You agree not to:

• Interfere with the website’s operation, security, or availability
• Attempt unauthorized access to systems, data, or administrative areas
• Use automated requests at a rate that disrupts or unreasonably burdens the service
• Introduce malicious code or use the site to facilitate unlawful activity
• Misrepresent site content as individualized professional medical advice

Content and intellectual property

The website’s design, organization, original text, graphics, and software are owned by or licensed to Medical Terminology DB and may be protected by intellectual-property laws. Limited quotations and links are welcome for ordinary educational reference with appropriate attribution. Broader reproduction, republication, or commercial reuse requires prior permission unless applicable law allows it.

Suggestions and corrections may be reviewed, edited, declined, or incorporated without an obligation to publish or compensate the sender.

Availability and changes

We may add, remove, correct, suspend, or discontinue content or functionality at any time. We do not guarantee that every feature will always be available or that every definition will remain unchanged.

Warranties and limitation of liability

The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties concerning accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, and uninterrupted availability.

To the extent permitted by law, Medical Terminology DB and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from use of or inability to use the website. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

General terms

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms may be updated from time to time, with the latest revision date shown above.
