Terms & Conditions of Service
OXFORD MEDICAL SIMULATION LTD STANDARD TERMS FOR SOFTWARE AND SERVICES
What these Terms cover. These are the terms on which we, Oxford Medical Simulation Limited (OMS), agree to supply our Software and Services to you, the party wishing to use the OMS Software and Services (the Client, you, your), in those circumstances where we have not signed a written contract with you (the Terms).
When these Terms take effect. You will be bound by these Terms if at any time you and OMS do not have a written agreement in place to govern your use of the OMS Software and Services, and you:
- accept any OMS quote;
- pay any OMS invoice; or
- download, install or use any OMS Software or Services.
The date on which you first do any of these things, and on which these Terms will first apply, will be the Subscription Start Date.
How these Terms work. Please read these Terms carefully. These Terms tell you how OMS will provide the Software and Services to you, what your obligations are to OMS, how OMS may change or end the agreement under these Terms, and other important information. By accepting the Subscription, downloading or installing the Software, or beginning to use our Services, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms. These Terms will apply to the exclusion of any other terms or conditions which you may seek to apply, impose, or incorporate, either expressly or impliedly, in any form and by any means at any time, without our express written consent.
Defined Terms. Some capitalised words and phrases (such as ‘Software’ or ‘Subscription’) in these Terms have defined meanings. A list of the meanings of these defined terms can be found in the Definitions Schedule at the end of the Terms.
Any express written agreement will override these Terms. If at any point (whether before or after the start of your Subscription Term) we both sign a written agreement in relation to your use of the OMS Software and Services, that written agreement will, from its effective date, supersede and take precedence over these Terms. Any agreement between us based on these Terms will be considered terminated on the effective date of that written agreement.
