These Terms of Use govern access to the Smart Surgical Team website and learning platform. By accessing or using it, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Educational purpose — not medical advice
The website provides professional and academic educational material. It does not provide individual medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, emergency guidance, or a substitute for professional judgment. Clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the treating clinician, who must consider the individual patient, current evidence, local requirements, and applicable professional standards.
Accounts and access
When you create an account through the registration flow, you confirm acceptance of these Terms and the Privacy Policy. You must provide accurate information, protect your sign-in credentials, and notify us promptly if you believe your account has been used without permission. You are responsible for activity occurring through your account. We may suspend or restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the service, users, or legal rights.
Acceptable use
You must not misuse the service, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, scrape or reproduce content at scale, upload malicious material, infringe rights, or use the platform in a way that is unlawful, deceptive, harmful, or inconsistent with its educational purpose.
Content and intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the website design, text, graphics, educational materials, and branding are owned by or licensed to Smart Surgical Team and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may use publicly available material for personal, non-commercial learning and professional reference. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, or publicly republish material without prior written permission, except where applicable law allows it.
Clinical content and patient privacy
Educational content must not be used to identify a patient. Do not submit patient-identifying information through the website. Any clinical material is presented for education and may be updated, corrected, or removed at any time.
Third-party services
The website may link to or embed third-party services, including Google sign-in, Google Maps, YouTube, LinkedIn, and external research resources. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, or practices.
Disclaimers and liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that content is complete, current, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Smart Surgical Team is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive losses arising from use of, or inability to use, the service.
Changes, termination, and contact
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service and may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after an update takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. Questions about these Terms can be sent to info@smartsurgicalteam.com.
