These links are provided solely as a resource and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of any kind. The owner and operators of the platform are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any linked websites.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Open Drug & Disease Platform is provided "as is" and "as available," without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy of information. The platform does not warrant that the site will operate uninterrupted, securely, or free from errors or viruses. No oral or written advice or information given by opdp.org, its owner, or contributors shall create any warranty. Your use of the platform and reliance on its content is entirely at your own risk. There may be delays, inaccuracies, or omissions in the information provided, or the site may become unavailable due to technical or other reasons beyond our control. We explicitly disclaim any liability arising from any errors or omissions contained within the materials. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusions of implied warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to all users.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the owner, Molissa Jordan, opdp.org, its employees, affiliates, or contributors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of or inability to use the site, its content, or any linked resources. This limitation of liability applies regardless of the legal theory and even if the platform has been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damages. The cumulative liability of opdp.org and the owner for any claims arising from use of the site shall not exceed one hundred US dollars (US$100), except where prohibited by law. Certain jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply in full.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the owner, Molissa Jordan, opdp.org, its affiliates, partners, employees, and contributors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use or misuse of the platform, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any intellectual property, privacy, or other rights. This indemnity obligation survives termination or suspension of your access to the website. opdp.org reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate fully with our defense and to provide any necessary information or assistance upon request.

Privacy Policy and Data Security

Your use of the platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which outlines in detail our practices regarding the collection, storage, and use of your personal information. We employ reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and you acknowledge that you provide personal information at your own risk. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18 years of age. For questions regarding data protection practices, you may contact the owner at [email protected]. Users are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of their account information and for notifying the platform of any unauthorized use or security breach related to their accounts.

Termination of Access

The Open Drug & Disease Platform reserves the right to terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the site, at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms, security threats, unlawful behavior, or suspected fraudulent or abusive activity. Termination may be effected without prior notice and may result in deletion or loss of all information associated with your account. The provisions of these Terms regarding intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law shall survive termination. You agree that the website shall not be liable to you or any third party for termination of your access. Users who have been terminated may not attempt to re-register or access the site without express written permission of the owner.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
