BD may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. BD reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify this Agreement or Content at any time by posting a notice on the Sites, or by sending you a notice via e-mail or postal mail. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Your use of the Services following such notification constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as modified.


You certify to BD that if you are an individual (i.e., not a corporation) you are at least 18 years of age. You also certify that you are legally permitted to use the Services and access the Sites, and take full responsibility for the selection and use of the Services and access of the Sites. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Sites and use the Services is revoked in such jurisdictions.


BD will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Sites and Services are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. However, there will be occasions when the Sites and/or Services will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and emergency repairs or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment. Every reasonable step will be taken by BD to minimize such disruption where it is within BD's reasonable control. YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER BD NOR THE SITES WILL BE LIABLE IN ANY EVENT TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SUSPENSION, MODIFICATION, DISCONTINUANCE OR LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF THE SITES, THE SERVICES, YOUR USER CONTENT (AS DEFINED HEREIN) OR OTHER CONTENT.


You shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to, access the Sites or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, software, and long distance or local telephone service.

You are responsible for all of your activity in connection with the Services and accessing the Sites. You may not post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted, any communication or solicitation designed or intended to obtain password, account, or private information from any BD user. You shall not use any part of the Sites or Services to violate the security of any computer network, crack passwords or security encryption codes, transfer or store material that is deemed threatening or obscene, or engage in any kind of illegal activity.

Therefore, you must not disclose to BD any information which may constitute Protected Health Information as defined in the Privacy Rule associated with HIPAA.

BD may provide certain basic features of the BD Human Site and Services at no charge (the "Personal Account"). BD reserves the right to remove, add or modify features, as well as terminate Free Accounts at any time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BD may delete any or all User Content on a Personal Account which is inactive for ninety (90) days or more without providing additional notice. You may choose to purchase a Personal Plus Account which includes enhanced features. BD reserves the right to remove, add or modify Personal Plus Account features at any time.In the event you purchase a Personal Plus Account, the fees for your Personal Plus Account will be billed from the date you convert to a Personal Plus Account and on each monthly or yearly renewal thereafter, depending on which account you select, unless and until you cancel your Personal Plus Account. BD will automatically bill your credit card each month or year on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your Personal Plus Account. In the event your Personal Plus Account began on a day not existing in a given month or year, BD will bill your credit card on the last day of such month or year. For example, if your Personal Plus Account began on January 31st, February 28th is the next time your credit card would be billed. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month or year may vary if you purchase promotional offers, change your account, or the amount of applicable sales tax varies, and you authorize us to charge your credit card for such varying amounts. BD may also periodically authorize your credit card in anticipation of account or related charges to ensure your card's validity.


BD may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice of these changes by e-mail and the option to cancel your subscription if you do not accept the new fees. If you want to change your credit card information, you may do so by accessing your "Account" page. If your credit card reaches its expiration date, your continued use of our paid services constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing you and you remain responsible for updating your credit card information. It is your responsibility to keep your contact and payment information current.


BD will automatically charge your credit card monthly or yearly, depending upon which Personal Plus Account you select. If any fee is not paid in a timely manner, or BD is unable to process your transaction using the credit card information provided, BD reserves the right to revoke access to your Personal Plus Account and User Content. If you do not bring your BD balance current within ten (10) days after BD notifies you that your account is in arrears, BD reserves the right to use our discretion to remove User Content associated with your Personal Plus account, and to convert your Personal Plus Account to a Personal Account.


Your Personal Plus Account will continue in effect unless and until you cancel it or we terminate it. You must cancel your Personal Plus Account before it renews each month or year in order to avoid billing of the next month's or year's fees to your credit card. Personal Plus Accounts are prepaid and are non-refundable. BD DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL MONTHS OR YEARS. You may cancel your Personal Plus Account at any time, and cancellation will be effective immediately. If you wish to cancel your Personal Plus Account you may do so via your "Account" page.
