PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY.

 

BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE WEBSITES OR TREACE PRODUCTS, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITES OR TREACE PRODUCTS, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE, WHICH MAY BE UPDATED BY US FROM TIME TO TIME WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU (THIS “AGREEMENT”).

IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE OR DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE WEBSITES OR TREACE PRODUCTS. YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITES OR TREACE PRODUCTS CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT

1. Scope of this Agreement

1.1 Treace does not provide medical or healthcare services. You acknowledge that Treace is a medical device manufacturer, not a healthcare provider, and does not engage in the practice of medicine or provide medical, health or other professional services or advice. Information contained on the Websites is for general educational information only and is not a substitute for seeking, and receiving, proper medical care and advice from your physician.  You agree that you are solely responsible for seeking and obtaining proper diagnosis, treatment and advice from your physician.  Only your physician, and not Treace, can determine if the Lapiplasty® procedure is right for you.

1.2 Additional terms apply to your use of the Websites. In addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, any other terms and conditions that we post or make available through the Websites or otherwise make available to you, apply to your use of the Websites and are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. These additional terms include (but are not limited to) the following:

    • any description located on our Websites;
    • third-party copyright and other notices located on our Websites;
    • Treace copyright, trademark and patent notices located on our Websites;

1.4   Questions regarding Treace Products and contacting a doctor. If you have undergone the Lapiplasty® procedure and have questions concerning your implant, please contact your surgeon. If you are a patient and have general questions regarding Treace Products and the Lapiplasty® procedure or wish to contact a doctor you have selected using the Find a Lapiplasty® doctor tool, please contact the Lapiplasty® Patient Call Center at 1-800-363-4145. The Lapiplasty® Patient Call Center, which is operated by our contractor (currently Salelytics LLC), assists with patient education and appointment scheduling, but does not dispense medical advice.

Unless prohibited by applicable law, Treace can change the terms of this Agreement by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting new versions of this Agreement to our Websites.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any aspect of the relationship between you and Treace, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (each, a “Dispute”), shall be resolved exclusively in the federal and state courts located in Jacksonville, Florida, and you and Treace each waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

5.2   Governing law. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the terms of this Agreement and any Dispute between Treace and any User are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A., without regard to its principles of conflicts of law and regardless of your location.

Chief Legal Officer, Treace Medical Concepts, Inc., 100 Palmetto Park Place, Ponte Vedra, Florida 32081, United States.

5.4   Equitable Relief. Any violation of a party’s intellectual property rights will cause the non-violating party irreparable harm for which monetary damages are an inadequate remedy, and the non-violating party is entitled to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance without the posting of bond or other security, or if required under applicable law, the minimum bond or security required.

6.      Warranties and Disclaimers

6.1    Warranty Limitations. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND EXCEPT FOR ANY LIMITED WARRANTY INCLUDED IN THE APPLICABLE TREACE PRODUCT’S LABELING, TREACE PRODUCTS AND THE WEBSITES (INCLUDING THE INFORMATION IN THE WEBSITES) ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITES AND TREACE PRODUCTS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    • TREACE DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES

(1)   THAT TREACE PRODUCTS OR THE WEBSITES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE RETRIEVABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED;

(2)   AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE WEBSITES OR TREACE PRODUCTS,

(3)   AS TO ANY THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE, DEVICE, OR PRODUCT THAT YOU MAY USE IN CONNECTION WITH THE WEBSITE OR TREACE PRODUCTS,

(4)   WITH RESPECT TO THE INFORMATION OR CONTENT POSTED ON THE WEBSITES, OR

(5)   THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ANY CUSTOMER WILL BE FREE FROM INTERCEPTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.

TREACE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CREATED BY LAW, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, OPERATION, COMPLIANCE WITH DOCUMENTATION, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6.2   Sole and Exclusive Remedy. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE WEBSITES, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE THEIR USE.

6.3   Third party commentary and patient stories. Any individuals or healthcare providers whose comments regarding Treace Products are contained on the Websites, including in any descriptions, explanations, FAQs, brochures, webinars, archives, blogs, news, or studies of Treace Products, may or may not be paid consultants of Treace. The inclusion of a testimonial or story on the Websites is not an endorsement, recommendation, or prediction from Treace that you will obtain any particular outcome. Your results from Lapiplasty® may differ from the results portrayed in patient testimonials and/or stories contained on the Websites. Treace is not responsible, and will not be liable, to you or others for any decision you make, or action you take, in reliance on the information obtained from the Websites. Your decision to undergo surgery with the Lapiplasty® Procedure is an important decision and should be based on your own investigation of, and consultation with, your own physician, including review of the Patient Risk Information on the Websites.

6.4   The “Find A Doctor” tool. Choosing a physician is an important decision and should be based on your own investigation of a particular physician’s education, training, and experience. The Websites include a Find A Doctor tool for locating physicians who have surgical experience with performing the Lapiplasty® Procedure. The underlying database may not include all physicians that use, or have used, Treace Products. Listed surgeons have performed at least 2 Lapiplasty® procedures in the past 3 months and completed a Lapiplasty® System training course, have not paid a fee to be listed, are identified by their geographic proximity to the location you enter, and may or may not be paid consultants of Treace. Treace is not recommending that you utilize any particular surgeon, and you should make an independent determination regarding the qualifications and suitability of a surgeon and any Treace Product.

The inclusion of a physician in the Find A Doctor database is not an endorsement or recommendation of that physician, and the fact that a physician is not included in the database does not mean that the physician is not qualified to perform the Lapiplasty® procedure. Listed physicians have provided the information contained in their profiles, which Treace has not verified. Treace does not verify or monitor the licenses, credentials, accreditations, or qualifications of the physicians listed in the database and is not responsible for the medical advice of any of the listed physicians. You are solely responsible for your communications and interactions with any listed medical professionals, and any information you send to them is not governed by Treace’s Privacy Policy.

Some surgeons may represent that they perform the Lapiplasty® Procedure, but with “alternative instrumentation and implants”. Don’t risk your health, ask your surgeon if they are using the Lapiplasty® System manufactured and patented by Treace. If they are not, then they are not performing Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™.

6.5   Product Discontinuation. Treace reserves the right to discontinue the sale of any Treace Product listed on the Websites at any time without notice.

7.      Liability Limitations and Your Responsibility

7.1    No Warranty. Treace does not assume any liability for the materials, information and opinions provided on, posted to, or otherwise available through, the Websites. Reliance on these materials, information and opinions is solely at your own risk. The opinions of healthcare professionals contained on the Website are their own opinions, not the opinion of Treace. Information contained on the Website is provided as-is, without any warranty, except as required by law. Treace disclaims any liability for injury or damages resulting from the use of the Websites, or the content contained thereon.

7.2   Limitations of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER TREACE, NOR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES WITH WHICH TREACE HAS A CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP, NOR ITS OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS, OR SUPPLIERS (COLLECTIVELY, “TREACE PARTIES”) WILL BE LIABLE FOR (1)ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFIT), CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXISTENCE OR USE OF THE WEBSITES AND/OR THE INFORMATION OR CONTENT POSTED ON THE WEBSITES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TREACE HAS BEEN ADVISED AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF SUCH EXCLUSIONS CAUSE THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR (2) THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF A USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION IS NOT APPLICABLE OR IS PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF THE TREACE PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR TOTAL DAMAGES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE WEBSITES IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT GREATER THAN $500.

7.3   Limitations in Certain Jurisdictions. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE SET OUT IN SECTIONS 6 and 7) MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE CERTAIN ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. TO THE EXTENT THAT WE MAY NOT, AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW, DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITIES, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF SUCH WARRANTY AND THE EXTENT OF OUR LIABILITY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER SUCH APPLICABLE LAW, AND THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED MODIFIED TO THE MINIMUM EXTENT NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH SUCH APPLICABLE LAW.

7.4   Exclusions from Limitations. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 7.1 through 7.3 above, nothing in this Section 7 is intended to limit or exclude liability where such liability is mandatory under applicable law and arises from the following: (a) death or personal injury resulting directly from willful or negligent act(s) or omission(s) by Treace or any of its employees or agents; or (b) any fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of Treace.

7.5   Your Responsibility. Except to the extent prohibited under applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Treace Parties from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) that such parties may incur as a result of or arising from (1) any information you submit, post or transmit through the Websites or to us, (2) your use of Treace Products, (3) your violation of this Agreement, or (4) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity.

If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, you agree that such provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be effective, valid and enforceable while preserving the original intentions of the parties to the greatest extent possible, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and enforceable according to their terms.

10.  Relationship; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Our relationship with you is as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement creates an agency or partnership. Except for Treace’s licensors, the Treace Parties, and the service provider for the Patient Call Center, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

11.     Forward-Looking Statements. The Websites may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and subject to the safe harbor created by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include declarations regarding Treace’s intent, belief, or current expectations and those of Treace’s management. Any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond Treace’s control; actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks detailed from time-to-time in our reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

12.      Waiver. Failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision or of any other right or provision contained herein. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. This Agreement has been drafted in English at the express request of the parties.

13.    Copyright Infringement Claims. The information, documents, related graphics, and other content published on the Websites (the “Information”) are protected by United States and foreign copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws and are the sole property of Treace, except for information provided or licensed by third-parties to Treace, its subsidiaries or affiliates.
