Big Needle - Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Are you agreeable?

By using our service, you're agreeing to be bound (more idealistically than physically) by these terms and conditions. If you don't wish to be bound by what you read below, you shouldn't register with Big Needle (ie go away). We may change these terms at any time but will notify you in advance of any material changes. Your continued use of Big Needle means that you accept any new or modified terms and conditions. Please check back here from time to time.

You not lie

By registering, you certify that all information you provide in the registration and during your continued use of the site is accurate. Big Needle members being only one sentient being may only maintain one active registration. Big Needle members must be either physicians, medical students, medical school professors. Posers will be ridiculed and/or kicked off the site. Their mothers may also be contacted.

Notice: This site created by humans

Big Needle provides a broad range of medical and non-medical information, services, commentary, and entertainment (ie content). We can't and we don't warrant the completeness or accuracy of the content found in our areas, or its usefulness for any particular purpose. And although we have the smartest, most attractive, hardest-working, most talented techies in the business, Big Needle also makes no promises that our content or the service itself will be delivered to you uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. In fact we're not making any promises or warranties except that we won't intentionally lie to you. Other than that, we reserve the right to be wrong, stupid, and even foolish (eg human).

We didn't do it

In using Big Needle content you agree that under no circumstances will Big Needle be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, or any other type of damages resulting from your use, or downloading of any content on our site. This includes, but is no way limited to, loss or injury caused in whole or in part by our negligence or by stuff beyond our control in creating or delivering any portion of Big Needle.

You be the doctor

Hey! You are the health care provider. You bear responsibility for your own medical research and decisions. You also agree that Big Needle will not be liable for any decision made or action taken by you or others based upon reliance on news, information, or any other material published by Big Needle. Big Needle relies on various sources of information that we believe to be accurate and reliable. However, we make no claims or representations as to the accuracy, completeness, or truth of any material contained on our site. There are literally jillions of contributors here, most, we believe, with incredibly interesting and insightful information and opinions to share. But we can't and won't take responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or even the truth of every post or message on our service. Remember: All information and content provided on Big Needle is to be used on an "as is, with all faults, we're not perfect" basis.

The law of our land

If any provision in this Agreement is invalid, unenforceable, or nonsensical, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. This Agreement is and always will be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the state of California (except with respect to choice of law). You agree that the proper forum for any claim arising under this Agreement will be the U.S. Court for Fresno or the appropriate California state court.

Get your own connection, you freeloader

Credit where it is due

A large amount of these terms of service were borrowed and altered from Motley Fool. We like their style...and plus they have more money to pay attorneys to create stuff like this.
