By visiting these websites, you agree to comply with Essential Access Health’s Terms of Use and you accept our Privacy Policy.

If you use our websites, we will assume that you have read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and you agree to and accept both.

The information contained in or discussed on any Essential Access Health website, or transmitted to you electronically or otherwise in response to a request or submission from you, is not intended nor implied to qualify as medical advice, diagnosis of a medical condition, or treatment for any medical condition, nor should this information be construed as psychological counseling or any emotional or mental health diagnosis or treatment. The information we provide is based on current health information and education resources; however, we are not medical professionals, and neither Essential Access Health nor its websites directly or indirectly practice medicine or dispense medical advice as part of this service. We urge you to always seek professional health services for any concerns you may have about your personal physical, emotional, or mental health.
In addition, nothing contained in these websites is intended to be or constitutes legal advice, and you should always seek the advice of a qualified attorney or other appropriate professional if you have questions or concerns of a legal or professional nature.

In no event shall Essential Access Health be liable for any injury, loss, claim, damage, or any incidental or consequential damages arising either directly or indirectly out of or in any way connected with its websites, or any failure or delay in updating or including any materials on its websites, or any use of or inability to use any materials on its websites, even if Essential Access Health has been advised of the possibility of such damages. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental and consequential damages, so the above exclusions may not apply to all users.)
4. Your Privacy on This Site
Your use of Essential Access Health websites is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you use or attempt to use these Essential Access Health websites, you are consenting to our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy and you are agreeing to be bound by their provisions.
5. Waiver of Responsibility for Defective or Contaminated Materials
While Essential Access Health works hard to see that no inaccurate or misleading data, statements, or opinions appear on its websites, it is impossible to guarantee accuracy at all times. Therefore, all information on Essential Access Health websites is offered for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only, and Essential Access Health disclaims responsibility for any errors or omissions, such as unintended technical inaccuracies or typographical errors, in the materials.
Furthermore, Essential Access Health cannot and does not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading through its websites will be free of infection or viruses, worms, Trojan Horses, or other code that contain contaminating or destructive properties. It is your responsibility to implement sufficient safeguards, procedures, and checkpoints to satisfy your particular requirements for accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a procedure outside of Essential Access Health websites for the reconstruction of any lost data. Use of Essential Access Health websites and the Internet is at the visitor’s own risk.
6. Modifications
We reserve the right, at any time, for any reason in our sole discretion, to change the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. We will post or display a notice of change on each applicable website, along with the effective date of such changes. If you use an applicable website after the date the changes become effective, your use will signify your agreement to be bound by the changes. You should check back frequently and review the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy regularly so you are aware of the most current rights and obligations that apply to you.
7. Legal Actions
The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California. In the event there is any dispute, claim, or cause of action arising out of or related to any Essential Access Health website, or the use of such website, you agree to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, and you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any such dispute, claim, or cause of action must be filed within six months after it accrues.
Either Essential Access Health or you may demand that any such dispute, claim, or cause of action be settled by arbitration in Los Angeles, California, provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Essential Access Health from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
8. Contests and Promotions
From time to time, Essential Access Health may conduct contests or promotions on or in connection with its websites. Each such contest or promotion will have additional terms, conditions and rules (the “Rules”) which will be posted or otherwise made available to you and, for purposes of each contest or promotion, the Rules will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of this Terms of Use.
