Terms of Use

By accessing or using thehrtindex.com (“the site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Not medical advice

The site is an editorial publication. Its content is for general informational and educational purposes only and is not medical, diagnostic, or treatment advice. Nothing on the site is a substitute for the advice of a qualified clinician who knows your individual medical history. Do not start, stop, or change any medication or treatment based on what you read on this site without consulting your clinician.

Editorial opinions

Reviews, comparisons, awards, and recommendations on the site are editorial opinions formed against our published methodology. They are not guarantees of any particular outcome and are not warranties of any provider's services. The accuracy, completeness, and currency of information on the site are best-effort; the site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Third-party links

The site contains links to third-party websites, including affiliate links to provider sites. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms of use of any third-party site. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site beyond the editorial coverage we publish on this site.

Intellectual property

The site, including all editorial content, graphic design, and source code, is owned by the publisher and is protected by US and international intellectual-property law. You may read, link to, and quote brief excerpts of editorial content for non-commercial personal use with attribution. Republication, redistribution, or commercial use requires written permission.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the publisher, its officers, editors, writers, and reviewers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of the site or any content on it.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the publisher and its officers, editors, writers, and reviewers from any claim or demand arising out of your use of the site or your violation of these Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which the publisher is organised, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. Any dispute arising out of or related to the site or these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in that jurisdiction.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a revision indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
