If you wish to use our Services, Pure Encapsulations requires that you be authorized by the applicable governmental or regulatory authority; by using our Services, you hereby warrant that you are so authorized. Many jurisdictions require that healthcare professionals making recommendations to patients on health-related matters be licensed to do so. Additionally, governmental authorities, professional organizations, or other regulating entities with jurisdiction over healthcare professionals may require that certain ethical standards be followed. You agree to act in accordance with all licensing and ethical standards applicable to you as a healthcare professional.

12. Limitation of Liability
SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE EXTENT AND SCOPE OF THE FOREGOING WARRANTY DISCLAIMER, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES AND ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED THEREFROM AS WELL AS ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, OR THE UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, USE OF OR ALTERATION TO YOUR PROFESIONAL ACCOUNT OR INFORMATION, INCLUDING GENERAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DATA, INCOME OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13. Indemnification
As a condition of your use of the Services, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pure Encapsulations, its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, licensors, service providers, and suppliers from and against any and all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from your use of the Services, including any claims alleging facts that if true would constitute a violation of these Terms or any activity related to your Professional Account (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing the Services using your Professional Account. This indemnification shall survive these Terms and your use of the Services.

15. Termination
In addition to all other available remedies, if you breach any of these Terms, we reserve the right to terminate your Professional Account and status as an Authorized Reseller pursuant to the Authorized Reseller Terms with written or electronic notice. Upon termination of your Professional Account and status as an Authorized Reseller, you shall immediately cease (i) selling Pure Encapsulations products; (ii) acting in any manner that may reasonably give the impression that you or your business are an Authorized Reseller of Pure Encapsulations products or have any affiliation whatsoever with Pure Encapsulations with respect; and (iii) using all Content and Trademarks.
Under no circumstances, including termination or cancellation of your Professional Account or our Services to you, will Pure Encapsulations be liable for any losses related to actions of other users. You agree that if your use of the Services is terminated, you will not attempt to use the website or Services under any name, real or assumed, and further agree that if you violate this restriction after being terminated, you will indemnify and hold harmless Pure Encapsulations from any and all liability that any such we may incur with respect thereto.
16. Entire Agreement; Severability; No Waiver
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Authorized Reseller Terms incorporated herein by reference and any policies that we post on the Services, constitute the entire agreement between Pure Encapsulations and you with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, or representations between you and Pure Encapsulations with respect to the subject matter of these Terms.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision or any other rights or provisions included within the Terms.
