Terms of Use

Philosophy. The information provided on this web site is offered for general informational purposes only. The content on this site is not intended, nor implied to be a substitute for professional legal or medical advice. However, NMUA is committed to the belief that thoughtful, well-informed patients who are working collaboratively with competent medical providers are much more likely to have optimal clinical outcomes.

Disclaimer of Medical Liability. Competent medical care regarding the diagnosis and treatment of any medical condition requires a careful and thoughtful assessment of each individual’s circumstances before a course of action is chosen (and may include physical and laboratory examinations). Information on this site is provided solely as a supplemental resource to the direct clinical care process involving a patient and physician (or other clinical care provider). Because NMUA is unable to consider the unique circumstances associated with the direct care of specific individuals viewing content on this site, NMUA cannot be responsible or liable for any action that may be performed based on information contained in this site.

Intellectual Property. All text, graphics, and presentation of information on this site (and other supported sites) are the original work of NMUA and/or its contracted agents unless explicit citation is made with respect to specific intellectual property of any other party. For the present purposes, a “party” is any individual or company who has created or currently owns the “intellectual property rights” for the expression of an idea or concept in the form of a copyright, trademark, patent, or similar property, which is protected by the legislation or regulation of the United States government or other generally recognized governing body. Where pertinent, NMUA has obtained written permission to use any such protected material that is not otherwise recognized to be in the public domain. As a practical matter, particularly with respect to information available via resources and “links” on the Internet, the recognition that some information is, in fact, protected “intellectual property” may be quite difficult to establish. If you believe that NMUA has not properly identified or acknowledged information on this site as “intellectual property,” please contact us.
