Terms of Service
MedApps provides the Application, which is an online application that assists Users to view content, policies, information, communications and other similar content online and interact with other Users regarding such content.
These terms of service set out the terms and conditions on which MedApps will provide access to the Application to a User who downloads or is otherwise provided with access to the Application. If the User is accessing an Account to which a Customer Contract applies, the terms and conditions of that contract will apply to the User’s access and use of that Account, to the extent that the Customer Contract conflicts with these terms. Where the User is accessing an account which is managed by MedApps, or there is no applicable Customer Contract, then these Terms of Service will apply to that user.
