YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS

We think it is important that you know exactly what personal details We collect from you and how We look after and use them. This issue is very important to us, so We have set out full details in Our Privacy Notice https://emaps.co/privacy-policy.

We have the right to disable any user identification details or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in Our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms of use.

If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your user identification name or password, you must promptly notify us at [email protected].

We are the owner of the licensee of all intellectual property rights in Our eMaps Site; all data and material published on the eMaps Site and in all content and training material published on it, including the “look and feel” of the eMaps Site.

The information contained on the eMaps Site has been contributed by us or by other participating organisations, and is published in good faith. We will do Our best to ensure that any information contained on the eMaps Site it is accurate, but in some cases it may be incorrect, incomplete or out of date and We make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express of implied, that the content on the eMaps Site is accurate, complete or up to date. We shall have no liability for any damage or losses caused by errors or omissions in any information, instructions or scripts provided on the eMaps Site or from your use of the information on the eMaps Site or for any conclusions drawn from such use. While We hope that the content of the eMaps Site will provide a valuable resource for participating organisations in contributing to their understanding of the key factors and processes of different healthcare systems, the content of the eMaps Site is for general information only and is not intended to amount to advice and should not be relied upon, on an individual or organisation-wide basis.

SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT TERMS

The eMaps Site, works on a subscription basis for each module purchased from the eMaps Site. You must register your business details before purchasing any modules from the eMaps Site. Once registered, you are able to purchase modules from the eMaps Site by setting up a subscription for the relevant module in accordance with our terms below and by making payments via our third party provider, World Pay Limited subject to its terms and conditions (a User Subscription).

You agree to abide by WorldPay Limited’s payment terms and conditions, which are found at https://online.worldpay.com/terms/privacy

By agreeing to these terms, you agree to pay the monthly applicable fee for the module being purchased as set out on the eMaps Site at the time of purchase to Cogentis for access to the relevant module being purchased (the Subscription Payment). The Subscription Payment shall be taken from you each month, the first payment to be taken on the date of purchase and thereafter on the same date for each successive month. By agreeing to these terms you agree to pay the Subscription Payment for a minimum 2 month period from the date of purchase (the Minimum Subscription Term) and thereafter until cancelled by you in accordance with these terms (the Subscription Term).

Subscription Payments and the Minimum Subscription Term are applicable for each module purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, it is therefore possible to have numerous User Subscriptions running concurrently, depending on how many, and when you purchase individual modules.

All amounts and fees stated or referred to in these terms shall be payable in pounds sterling; are exclusive of any value added tax and are non-refundable.

If for any reason Cogentis does not receive payment, we reserve the right to withhold or terminate access to the eMaps Site immediately and without notice.

SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATION

You may cancel your subscription for any purchased module by activating the button on the ‘My Account’ page of the eMaps Site at any time during the Subscription Term. When you cancel your subscription for a particular module during the Subscription Term, your subscription for that module ends in accordance with the following terms:-

Cancelling your subscription for a particular module(s) at any time during the Minimum Subscription Term will terminate your subscription and access to the particular module(s) on the eMaps Site on the last day of the Minimum Subscription Term. No further payments will be charged by Cogentis after that date unless you purchase further module(s) and set up a new subscription.
Cancelling your subscription for a particular module(s) at any time after the Minimum Subscription Term will terminate your subscription and any access to the particular module(s) on the eMaps Site on the last day before the next Subscription Payment is due or would become due had the subscription not been cancelled. No further payments will be charged by Cogentis after that date unless you purchase further module(s) and set up a new subscription.

You will have access to and can use the module for which you have paid a subscription for the Subscription Term. Once the Subscription Term ends (either by you activating the cancel button on the ‘My Account’ page or by Cogentis withdrawing your access in accordance with these terms), access to the relevant module content shall terminate.
