Acceptable Use Policy

Here at Medentic, our mission is to help businesses grow. To do this, we need to keep our products and services running smoothly and without distraction, and we need the members of our community not to misuse or abuse them. There are some activities that are incompatible with Medentic’s mission to help businesses grow, and this Acceptable Use Policy describes those prohibited activities in detail. This Acceptable Use Policy (this “Policy“) applies to the use of any product, service or website provided by Medentic (collectively, the “Services“), whether we provide it directly or a partner of ours provides it to you. By using any of the Services, you are agreeing to this Policy. The examples described in this Policy are not exhaustive. Capitalized terms used below but not defined in this Policy have the meanings set forth in our Terms of Service.
