iOWNA may have entered into a data protection or data sharing agreement with your Healthcare Organisation, if applicable, that will apply to iOWNA. Under the terms of such agreements iOWNA is appointed as a data processor by your Healthcare Organisation with respect to the confidential or other personal information of you or your patients that you provide to us including pursuant to any Extended Services. iOWNA's handling of such confidential and other information will be subject to the terms of such agreements and the privacy policy of your Healthcare Organisation, unless otherwise specified in iOWNA'sClinician Privacy Policy. The terms of this section will apply subject to the supervening provisions set out in any such data protection or data sharing agreement we have with your Healthcare Organisation - details of which are available from your Healthcare Organisation. To the extent of any conflict with such separate agreement with regard to confidential information, then such other agreement shall prevail and these Terms & Conditions shall be deemed to be deleted or amended, as necessary.
HOWEVER, notwithstanding our agreement with your Healthcare Organisation, sometimes in managing the iOWNA Platform we may collect personal information directly from you and we will control this personal information. Our obligations both as a processor of your personal information and where we control it are set out in the Clinician Privacy Policy.
If you have a direct licence with iOWNA, you will be subject to all of the following terms relating to all confidential information and other data that you send to us or submit through the iOWNA Platform or as a part of any Extended Services.
In these Terms & Conditions "iOWNA Privacy Policy" refers to either or both theClinician Privacy Policythat you and your associated healthcare clinicians and support staff will or have agreed to when registering on the platform and thePatient Privacy Policythat your patients agreed to when registering on the platform, as the context permits.
The Data protection Act 2018 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 as applied in UK (which together are called the "UK GDPR"), regulate the processing of personal data in the UK. Your data and that of your associated healthcare clinicians, support staff and patients will be subject to UK GDPR and each of us will be required to comply with its terms. All personal data whether relating to you, your associated healthcare clinicians, support staff or your patients will be processed by iOWNA in accordance with the applicable iOWNA Privacy Policy that you or your patient have accepted on registration with the iOWNA Platform.
As a clinician user you are responsible for (i) any patient data that you or your associated healthcare clinicians and support staff enter into the iOWNA Platform, (ii) the personal information of other clinicians that you invite to join who are your partners, employees or co-employees, or contractors and (iii) your use of personal information of any individual with an iOWNA Platform account to which you have access. You are therefore responsible for complying with UK GDPR with respect to such personal information or other data compiled by you from the same.
Where iOWNA uses identifiable patient data that you enter into the iOWNA Platform for system troubleshooting, system and/or customer support, research or reporting, or to comply with iOWNA's legal obligations, iOWNA will be the data controller and will comply with applicable local data protection and privacy laws and the Privacy Policy that you have accepted on registration. Otherwise, iOWNA acts as a data processor on your behalf and on behalf of your Healthcare Organisation, if applicable and agrees to process personal data as and in accordance with the standards set out in the Privacy Policy which shall deemed to be incorporated into these Terms and Conditions.
iOWNA does not claim ownership of the data that you or your patients transmit to iOWNA or submit to the iOWNA Platform including when participating in any Extended Services. However, by disclosing personal information relating to you and your patients, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish and translate such data for the purpose of providing you with the iOWNA Platform and Content and any Extended Services. iOWNA may create, access, retain, use for its own purposes or disclose and sell to third-parties aggregated, anonymised, de-identified data derived from the iOWNA Platform and Content including any Extended Services for the purposes of (i) research, commercial or otherwise, by iOWNA or that third party: (ii) to evaluate performance or impact of the iOWNA Platform, Content and other services that we offer, or to (iii) enhance the functioning of the iOWNA Platform.

iOWNA provides user support services (excluding training) for the iOWNA Platform, free of charge and subject only to the payment of the applicable licence fee by you or your Healthcare Organisation.
Most support issues can and should be resolved by you using the online resources that we provide as a part of the iOWNA Platform. Support does not include addressing issues arising from the hardware, operation or configuration of any device used by you.
iOWNA will reasonably endeavour to resolve service issues in a timely manner, but we do not guarantee that all service issues can be resolved or the timeliness with which they are addressed or resolved, whatsoever. iOWNA also operates a "fair use" policy for free support with your Healthcare Organisation but if you have a licence directly with iOWNA please note that if in iOWNA's opinion the volume or frequency of support requests is beyond our expectations, then iOWNA may cease support or request you to pay additional fees for support. iOWNA at its sole discretion may decline support for any of your patients if their requests are deemed by us to be excessive or the conduct of such a patient is harassing or abusive to any staff of iOWNA.
Liability and Indemnity
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of you or anyone else using or relying on the iOWNA Platform or any Content, including User Content, or any Extended Services or support provided by iOWNA to you or any person associated with you or any of your patients. However, nothing shall exclude iOWNA's liability for death or personal injury arising out of our negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any breach of a term implied by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which by law may not be limited or excluded or for any other liability that may not be limited or excluded by English law or regulation.
In no event shall iOWNA be liable to you for any indirect or consequential losses, or for any loss of profit, revenue, contracts, data, goodwill or other similar losses, and any liability iOWNA does have for losses you suffer is strictly limited to losses that were reasonably foreseeable and shall not, in aggregate, exceed the amount that you paid iOWNA directly for the licence to the platform and if access was made available free of charge or through your Healthcare Organisation, the sum of £1000.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless iOWNA, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, assigns and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including solicitors' and experts' fees) made by any of your patients or any third party whatsoever due to or arising out of, or related to any use of the iOWNA Platform and Content or any breach of these Terms and Conditions or laws, regulations or third party rights including any breach of data protection or privacy obligations, any infringement of their copyright or intellectual property rights of any third party by you, anyone associated with you or others in your practice or organisation or otherwise in connection with your or their use of the iOWNA Platform, Content or Extended Services provided by iOWNA whether by negligent act, omission or wilful misconduct.
Termination by iOWNA of your access to the iOWNA Platform or where applicable, your direct licence, is not an exclusive remedy and if we do so, it will be without prejudice to any other remedies iOWNA may have under these Terms & Conditions, by law, or otherwise.
Changing these Terms and Conditions
iOWNA may change these Terms and Conditions at any time at our discretion and without prior notice. iOWNA will notify you of any changes by email or by a message within your iOWNA account.

General Terms
