For all medical emergencies, go to the nearest hospital or immediately dial 911.

These terms and conditions ("Terms") are a contract between users ("you") and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center ("MSK,"we","our" or "us") and apply to MSK's patient portal, MyMSK, located as a website at https://my.mskcc.org, and to any of our other websites, mobile applications and interfaces that link to these Terms (collectively, the "Portal").

Note that Section 17 of these Terms contains important provisions that limit the remedies available to you in the event of certain disputes, including provisions that require you to bring claims on an individual basis and not as part of a class or representative action or proceeding.

The Portal is also offered as a service to Patients (defined below) of Memorial Medical Care, P.C. (“MMC”) and users of an MMC Proxy account (defined below). Use of the Portal by MMC Patients and Proxy account users shall be subject to these Terms.

Please read and review these Terms carefully before using the Portal. By selecting "Accept" you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Portal.

1. Using the Portal

1.1 For All Portal Users

The Portal provides users with access to information and resources from MSK and allows for communications with healthcare providers and other MSK staff. Your use of the Portal does not create a patient relationship between you and MSK. The Portal is not a substitute for a medical consultation or medical advice, nor is the Portal intended to provide medical care or act as a replacement for visits with a healthcare provider. You should not rely on the Portal for managing your health. If you need medical care, contact your healthcare provider.

1.2 For Patients and Proxy Account Users

Registered MSK patients or MMC patients ("Patient") may choose to give other people access to their Portal account ("Proxy account"). Registering for a Proxy account does not mean a person has any legal status or rights other than their access to the Portal. A Patient may end a person's Proxy access any time in the "Account Access" section of MyMSK.

For Patients who are under the age of 17 years and 6 months, a parent/legal guardian may register for a Proxy account. More information about Proxy accounts for Patients who are minors is provided below in the "Acceptable Use and Restrictions on Use" section.

By using the Portal as a Patient or a Proxy account user, you acknowledge the following:

The parts of the Patient medical record that you can see through the Portal may only be a portion of the complete Patient medical record. Patients may request a complete copy of their medical record by contacting MSK's Health Information Management department at 646-227-2089 or by going to the "Medical Info" section of the Portal, selecting "Ask for Your Medical Records," to complete a request form. Messages or other information you send or receive through the Portal may be made part of the Patient medical record (at MSK's discretion), which means those messages may be accessible to current and future healthcare providers and staff. The Portal allows you to send messages to us regarding the Patient's medical condition, but you understand and agree that you will not use the Portal to send messages about anything that needs attention right away.

2. Changes to the Terms and to the Portal

We may change these Terms at any time. Any changes that we make will become a part of our agreement with you and are effective and binding when they are posted to our Portal. If we make material changes, we will post the amended Terms to our Portal, and update the "Last Updated" date above. We may also notify you by sending an email notification to the address associated with your account or providing notice through our Portal. By your continued use of the Portal after publication of revised Terms, you accept and agree to the terms and conditions of the revised Terms.

You acknowledge and agree that the Portal is offered as a convenience to users. We reserve the right to make additions, deletions, or changes to the Portal. We may add or remove features and we may suspend or stop the Portal altogether at our sole discretion. We may take any of these actions at any time, and when we do, we may not provide you with any notice beforehand.

3. Acceptable Use and Restrictions on Use

The Portal is available only to persons who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. The Portal is not available to individuals under the age of 17 years and 6 months. If you do not qualify, you may not use the Portal.

For Patients who are minors, a parent/legal guardian may register for a Proxy account. Patients who are minors over the age of 12 will be asked to provide consent allowing their parents/guardians access to medical information which is protected under applicable state law as "minor consented services." Once the minor consents to provide their parents/guardians access to the Portal, the Parents/guardians will have access to all information that is available on the Portal, including minor consented services. If a minor over the age of 12 does not consent to proxy access for minor consented services, the Portal account associated with such minor will not be accessible. MSK grants a limited license to you to make personal use only of the Portal in accordance with these Terms, including downloading and printing information from the Portal. This license expressly excludes, without limitation:

• any reproduction, duplication, sale, resale or other commercial use of the Portal;
• making any derivative of all or any part of the Portal;
• the collection and use of user email addresses; or
• the collection and use of other user information, including, without limitation, health information or any data extraction or data mining whatsoever.
• You agree only to use the Portal for the purposes for which they have been designed. You will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national and international laws, rules and regulations and will not encourage or promote any activity that violates these Terms.

Additional Restrictions

You understand that you are solely responsible for any content that you intentionally or unintentionally communicate to others using the Portal.

You agree that you will not:

• use the Portal for any unlawful purpose or to promote illegal activities;
• try to interfere in any way with the Portal's networks or network security or try to use the Portal to gain unauthorized access to any other computer system, or other user's account;
• interfere or try to interfere with the proper functioning of the Portal, or damage any data or information associated with the Portal;
• transmit any harmful, malicious, or unauthorized software such as: viruses, time bombs, Trojan horses, worms, surveillance codes, other computer programming routines;
• make any automated use of the Portal, or take any action that we deem to impose or to potentially impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our servers or network infrastructure;

• post or link to any malicious content or offensive material; or
• send harassing, discriminatory, disparaging, defamatory or inappropriate messages through the Portal.

If we determine that you have violated any of the above restrictions or any other term or condition of these Terms, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue your use of the Portal.

10. Release

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release MSK and our owners, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, employees, shareholders, and directors (collectively, the "MSK Parties") from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code Section 1542, which says "a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." You also waive any rights you may have under any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

11. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Portal, and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, or any guaranty or assurance that the Portal will be available for use or that all information, content, materials, products, features, functions or operations will be available, up-to-date, accurate, or perform as described.
