The Service may be distributed through any media format through any media channel and/or via any media device. The Service allows You to access ABUCM’s content and other materials, and to communicate with ABUCM regarding its certification services.

Except as set forth in these TOU, the ABUCM Content and Marks are provided to You AS IS for Your information and personal use only and may not be used, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any purposes whatsoever except as set forth in these TOU.

No Guaranty of Certification
ABUCM offers its certification services without guaranteeing that any physician will receive such certification. Your use of the ABUCM website and access to the ABUCM Content does not in any way create a contract, agency, representation, or other legal relationship between You and ABUCM. Similarly, completing ABUCM’s website contact form does not confer certification or imply that ABUCM will certify You. Moreover, application for certification, whether by submission of a form on this website, by electronic submission by certify You.
The ABUCM website contains links to the "ABUCM Diplomate" directory as a public service to help individuals locate an urgent care board certified physician. The information is accurate to the best of the ABUCM’s knowledge.
If You submit any materials to ABUCM, You represent and warrant at all times that: (i) You are either more than 18 years of age and/or the authorized representative of a business entity and are fully authorized to enter into these TOU on Your own behalf and on behalf of any other individuals or companies whom You are representing; (ii) You are fully able and competent to accept, make and/or perform the terms, conditions, obligations, representations and warranties set forth in these TOU, and to abide by and comply with the terms herein; (iii) if You are a company or corporation, You are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Your organization, You have full corporate power and authority to enter into these TOU, and You are duly authorized to perform the obligations and to carry out the provisions herein; (iv) You understand that these TOU are legal and valid obligations, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms; and (v) neither the execution, delivery and performance of these TOU conflicts with any agreement, instrument, or understanding, oral or written, to which You are a party or by which You may be bound, or violates any law or regulation of any court, governmental body or administrative or other agency having jurisdiction over You.
User Obligations
You agree that You will not: (i) take any action that imposes, or may impose, in ABUCM’s sole discretion, an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on ABUCM’s infrastructure; (ii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Service or any activities conducted on the Service; (iii) alter or modify any part of the website or access ABUCM Content through any technology or means other than those explicitly designated by ABUCM; (iv) bypass any measures ABUCM may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, other accounts, or computer systems or networks connected to the Service; or (v) interfere with any other user’s enjoyment of the Service, including, without limitation, accessing an account of a user that is not Yours.

In addition, You may not remove any proprietary notices, marks or labels.
You shall not launch or otherwise use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Service in a manner which sends more request messages to the ABUCM server in any given period of time than a typical human would normally produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser to read, view and submit materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we grant the operators of search engines permission to use robots to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of creating publicly-available searchable indexes of the materials, but not caches or archives of the materials, provided that we reserve the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.
