Trademarks

The trademarks, service marks, and logos (the "trademarks") used and displayed on the Site are the trademarks of Fidelis and others by whom Fidelis has been authorized to use and display their marks and logos. Nothing on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any trademark displayed on the Site, without the advance written permission of the trademark owner.

Not a Substitute for Professional Health Care or Advice 

The information contained in this Site is general in nature and is not a substitute for professional health care. It is not meant to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have specific health care needs, or for complete health information, please see a doctor or other health care provider. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this Site.

Indemnifications

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Fidelis and its officers, directors, owners, agents, information providers, and licensors (collectively, the "Fidelis Parties") harmless from and against any and all claims, liability, losses, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by any Fidelis Party in connection with any use or alleged use of the Site by you. Fidelis reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.

Children

We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. You should know that this Site is not intended or designed to attract children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, you are not permitted to submit to us any personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number or any other information that would permit us to identify you. If you are under 13, it is against the law for us to ask you for that information, and we will not ask for it, nor do we want it. Because such information will not be specifically identified as being from minors, users of the Fidelis Web site should be aware that personally identifiable information submitted to it by minors, in violation of this policy, may be treated in the same manner as information given by an adult. Please refer to the Privacy Policy for more information.

Governing Law

This Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in New York and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflict or choice of law principles). Any cause of action by you with respect to the Site or any Site content or Site services must be instituted within six (6) months after the cause of action arose or shall be forever waived and barred. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted as to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party. All actions shall be brought in the appropriate state or federal court located in New York. You expressly submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and consent to extra-territorial service of process.

Should any part of this Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect, and a court of competent jurisdiction shall have the right to reform the invalid or unlawful portions of this Agreement to make them valid and enforceable. To the extent that anything in or associated with the Site is in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement, this Agreement shall take precedence. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Fidelis and you as a user of the Site, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements with respect to the Site. We reserve to ourselves all rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind Fidelis's agents, licensors, licensees, successors, and assigns and you and your agents, heirs, successors, assigns, estate, and legal representatives.

Security

We take very seriously the integrity of the information and systems that we maintain. Therefore, we have instituted security measures for all information systems under our control. These security measures are designed to identify attempts to tamper with this Web site.
