Terms of Use
Effective date: August 23, 2026
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of TheHealthcareExecutive.net and related content, memberships, accounts, and online services provided by The Healthcare Executive. By using the site, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
1. Eligibility and acceptance
You must be able to form a binding agreement under applicable law to use paid, account-based, or submission features. Visitors under 18 should use the site only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the site.
2. Educational information, not professional advice
Content is provided for general executive education and informational purposes. It is not medical, legal, financial, accounting, compliance, employment, or other professional advice and should not replace advice from a qualified professional who understands your circumstances. The site does not establish a clinician-patient, attorney-client, consultant-client, fiduciary, or similar relationship.
3. Accounts and security
You are responsible for providing accurate account information, protecting your credentials, and all activity under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the site, its users, or our rights.
4. Memberships, purchases, and third-party payments
Additional terms shown at checkout or enrollment may apply to memberships, programs, products, or services. Prices, availability, renewal terms, refund terms, and taxes will be presented where applicable. Payments may be processed by third parties under their own terms and privacy notices.
5. Intellectual property and permitted use
The site and its original text, graphics, research presentation, design, software, trademarks, and other materials are owned by or licensed to The Healthcare Executive and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, you may access and use the site for personal, internal professional, and noncommercial educational purposes.
Unless we give prior written permission, you may not reproduce substantial portions of the site, sell or sublicense site materials, remove rights notices, create misleading derivative works, or use automated extraction to build a competing publication, dataset, or service. Ordinary search-engine indexing and lawful quotation with attribution are not prohibited.
6. User submissions
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, format, and use that content as reasonably necessary to operate the requested feature or service. Do not submit content you lack permission to use, confidential patient information, unlawful material, malicious code, or content that violates another person’s rights.
7. Acceptable use
You may not interfere with site security or availability; attempt unauthorized access; impersonate others; use the site for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or deceptive activity; introduce malware; overwhelm the site with automated requests; or collect personal information about other users without authorization.
8. Third-party links and services
The site may link to or integrate third-party websites, social platforms, analytics, payment, sign-in, and sharing services. We do not control third-party content or practices and are not responsible for them. Your use of a third-party service is governed by its own terms and privacy notice.
9. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that the site will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current, complete, or suitable for a particular purpose. Research summaries and links may change, and you are responsible for independently evaluating information before relying on it.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Healthcare Executive and its officers, directors, employees, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from use of or inability to use the site. Any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded is limited to the minimum amount permitted by law.
11. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold The Healthcare Executive harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the site, your submissions, or your material breach of these Terms.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought in a state or federal court with appropriate jurisdiction in Illinois, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
13. Changes, severability, and entire agreement
We may update these Terms as the site evolves. The effective date above identifies the latest revision. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms, together with any feature-specific terms and linked policies, form the agreement governing your use of the site.
