Effective date: October 5, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your use of the website operated by the Center for Telehealth and eHealth Law (“CTeL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the website.
1. Information and professional advice
Our website provides general information and educational resources about telehealth, digital health, research, and policy. It does not provide legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice tailored to your circumstances. Laws and policies change, and content may be incomplete or out of date. Consult a qualified professional before making decisions that require professional advice.
Using this website or sending an inquiry does not, by itself, create an attorney-client, clinician-patient, or consulting relationship. AI-generated content, including responses from Genie, may contain errors. Check original sources before relying on it. Separate terms apply to the Genie application.
2. Acceptable use and accounts
Use this website lawfully and respect the rights of others. You must not introduce malicious software, disrupt the website, impersonate others, infringe intellectual property or privacy rights, or attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or restricted materials.
If you use an account, keep your information accurate and your login credentials secure. Do not share access or restricted materials beyond the permissions provided. We may restrict access to address misuse or security concerns, subject to applicable law and any separate agreement.
3. Website content
Website materials belong to CTeL or their respective owners unless otherwise stated. You may view, download, and print publicly available CTeL materials for personal or internal informational use, keeping attribution and copyright notices intact. Other reuse requires permission unless an applicable license or law permits it. Member-only materials and purchased reports remain subject to their specific access and license terms.
Nothing in these terms limits fair use, lawful use of public-domain materials, or your right to share honest reviews and opinions. For permission requests, email info@ctel.org.
4. Memberships, purchases, and events
Memberships, reports, consulting, donations, and event registrations may be offered through this website or external platforms. Review the description, price, and applicable terms before completing a transaction. Access, renewals, cancellations, and refunds are governed by the terms provided for that offering, any separate agreement, and applicable law. If those terms conflict with these general website terms, the specific terms govern that offering.
5. External links and submissions
Links and embedded content may take you to third-party websites or services. CTeL does not control their content, availability, or practices. A link does not necessarily imply endorsement. Review the terms and privacy notices of those services before using them.
Only submit information you are authorized to share. Do not send patient records or other sensitive or confidential information through general website forms or inquiries.
6. Availability and liability
The website and its informational content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, CTeL does not guarantee uninterrupted access, accuracy, completeness, or suitability for a particular purpose.
To the extent permitted by law, CTeL is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, this website. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
7. Changes to these terms
We may update the website and these terms from time to time. Revised terms will be posted here with an updated effective date and apply going forward. We will provide additional notice where required by law. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
