Website Terms of Use

Effective Date: June 27, 2026

These Website Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website of Kidney Hypertension Clinic (“we,” “us,” or “our”). They apply to your use of this website only. They are separate from, and do not change, any agreement, consent, or notice that governs your medical care, including our Notice of Privacy Practices. Please also review our Website Privacy Policy. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Not Medical Advice

The content on this website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on this website. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Do not submit medical or health information through this website.

Use of the Website

You may use this website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the website to violate any law; to interfere with or disrupt the website or its security; to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system or data; to scrape, harvest, or collect information about others; or to transmit any malware or harmful code.

Intellectual Property

The website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, and images, are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and print content for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not otherwise copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our prior written permission.

Third-Party Links and Services

The website may link to or rely on third-party websites and services, including mapping, scheduling, analytics, and advertising providers. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those third parties, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms and policies.

Disclaimers

The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the website. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. These limitations apply to website use only and do not apply to, limit, or waive any rights or remedies you may have relating to medical care or treatment.

Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes about your use of the website are resolved and, for those disputes, requires arbitration on an individual basis instead of court or jury trials.

What this section does and does not cover. This section applies only to disputes arising out of or relating to your use of this website or these Terms. It does NOT apply to, and expressly excludes, any claim relating to medical or healthcare services, diagnosis, treatment, or professional negligence or malpractice, and it does not waive any right that cannot be waived under applicable law. Those matters are governed by applicable law and are not subject to this arbitration provision.

Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you agree to first contact us in writing at the address below and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally.

Binding arbitration. Except for the matters excluded above and the carve-outs below, any dispute arising out of or relating to your use of the website or these Terms that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitration will take place in Gwinnett County, Georgia, or may be conducted by telephone or videoconference, and the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Individual basis; class-action waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court rather than arbitration.

Carve-outs. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual-property or unauthorized-access rights.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending a written notice within 30 days of first accepting these Terms to the contact address below, stating your name and that you wish to opt out of the website arbitration provision. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section is found unenforceable, the remainder will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration provision above, any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

General

These Terms, together with our Website Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of this website, and supersede any prior understandings on that subject. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them; we may assign these Terms to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We are not responsible for any delay or failure to perform that is caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date above indicates when they were last revised, and material changes will be posted on this page. Your continued use of the website after non-arbitration changes are posted means you accept those revised Terms. For any material change to the Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration section, we will provide notice and the change will apply only to disputes arising after the change becomes effective; it will not retroactively alter the agreement to arbitrate for earlier disputes.
