2. Eligibility to Use the Service; Registration.
The Service is limited to corporations, limited liability companies and other legal entities organized under the laws of a State in the USA, the employees and authorized representatives designated as authorized users by such legal entities and individuals resident in the United States that are eligible to and have entered into a Participation Agreement that has not been terminated. If You currently are a committed member of a third party group purchasing organization and/or obligated by contract to a third party to purchase exclusively from that organization, you are not eligible to become an Authorized User.В
If you are eligible to become an Authorized User, you or your authorized representatives must set up an Authorized User account by completing the registration process prior to first using the Service, and each of your Authorized Users must also agree to these Terms of Service. You represent and warrant that the person establishing the account for each Authorized User is authorized to bind Authorized User to these Terms of Service. As part of the registration process, you must provide PurchaseClinic with complete and accurate information for each Authorized User, as prompted by the applicable registration form, including a valid email address. Each individual Authorized User will also choose a password and a user name. You agree that all information supplied by you in establishing your account(s) is accurate and complete, that you will maintain and promptly update the information, and that you consent to the storage of your information and content in the Service. If PurchaseClinic has reasonable grounds to suspect that your information is inaccurate or incomplete, PurchaseClinic may suspend or terminate your account(s), disable your password and refuse any and all current and future use of the Service, without prior notice.
When you have completed the registration process, you will be authorized to use the Service until termination. Each Authorized User is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of user names and passwords. You agree to immediately notify PurchaseClinic of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your passwords, user names or accounts or any other breach of security. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PurchaseClinic will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your passwords, user names or accounts, either with or without your knowledge, or for any inaccuracies or omissions in your data. However, you could be held liable for losses incurred by PurchaseClinic or a third party due to someone else using your account, user name or password.

The registration process may permit eligible entities and individuals to become Authorized Users and Members through a single transaction, in which case by signing the “Signature” box (or giving any other required form of assent), you agree both to these Terms of Service and to the terms of the applicable Participation Agreement.
If you are Member and wish to do so, you may access contract pricing for goods and services from third-party vendors that are made available to you through your Participation Agreement by clicking on a vendor’s link provided through the Websites.

Such terms and conditions may be different from the terms and conditions of these Websites.
Members acknowledge and agree that transactions for the purchase of goods and services from vendors are agreements solely between the Member and the vendor of those goods and services and, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, Members disclaim all liability against PurchaseClinic and its affiliates for any loss or claim arising out of any such transaction.
