User-generated content
The Platform may allow you to send, receive, or share with other people the Electronic Clinical Record and other content generated by the User. The Electronic Clinical Record and other content generated by the User are governed in accordance with the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares and ordinary legislation. Accordingly, the Electronic Clinical Record and other content generated by the User are the property of the User and of the owners of the personal information included.

The transmission or publication of the Electronic Clinical Record and other content generated by the User shall be the exclusive responsibility of the User who transmitted or published it.
The User shall indemnify Diagnostikare for the improper or unlawful use of the Software or of the Platform.
Test features and functionalities
The User acknowledges that the Software is a work in continuous development that adapts to new technologies, new devices, new programming tools, and to aesthetic and design trends. Likewise, legislation on information technology, health, intellectual property, and personal data protection, among others, may require modifications to the Software.
Consequently, Diagnostikare may provide features, content, products, or services within the Software that have not been released for general use by Users and for which testing and evaluation are being carried out. Those features and products will be identified with the names "beta", "preview", "early access", or "evaluation" (or similar terms). Notwithstanding the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the following conditions apply to beta Services: (a) the User may accept or reject the use of any of the beta Services; (b) the User accepts that they are aware that no support of any kind is provided for beta services and that these may be modified or eliminated without prior notice; (c) the User accepts that the stability and availability of beta services do not correspond to those of the rest of the Services rendered through the Software; (d) beta services are not subject to the same security and audit measures as the regular services provided through the Software; and (e) Diagnostikare shall assume no liability arising from or related to a beta service, and therefore the User must use it at their own risk.
Health professionals associated with the platform
Diagnostikare will comply with the regulations in force governing the practice of health care professionals, which is why those who provide information and advice through the Platform will be physicians or specialists in other areas of clinical practice who hold a professional license registered before the Dirección General de Profesiones of the Secretaría de Educación Pública (the Mexican Ministry of Public Education).
The User shall be responsible and shall be entirely free to refuse to follow the answers and recommendations to the signs or symptoms reported regarding their health through the Platform. Diagnostikare will only resolve their questions and assist in helping to frame health problems, such that at no time shall the suggestions or recommendations issued by the health professionals be considered a definitive diagnosis or treatment, since the Platform in no way replaces an in-person physician. Where necessary, a review by medical personnel outside Diagnostikare or the use of emergency services will be advised.
The Services provided through the Software have as their sole and exclusive objective to serve as an information tool for the User, and therefore at no time and under no circumstances shall it be understood that the purpose or objective of the Platform is to render medical services.
Diagnostikare and the medical personnel providing the advisory services are not liable for the consequences arising from the User’s voluntary or involuntary omission of data relating to their medical history or personal data. Without the complete and truthful information provided by the User, neither Diagnostikare nor the health professionals who collaborate with Diagnostikare will be able to provide appropriate recommendations, and they have no liability with respect to the measures taken by the User by virtue of such recommendations.
In the event that the physicians providing the advisory service indicate to the User that the care or evaluation of a general practitioner, medical specialist, or any other health professional is required, it shall be the User’s responsibility to carry out the corresponding follow-up and to attend in person the aforementioned medical specialists.
Any suggestion or recommendation issued through the Platform shall be understood to be issued by the health professional, and the User is at no time obliged to follow it, and may therefore heed it or not, releasing Diagnostikare, as well as the health professionals who form part of the Platform, from any present or future liability.
It is the User’s decision and responsibility to carry out the pharmacological treatment suggested by the health professionals related to Diagnostikare. In the event that the User suffers harm to their health as a result of adherence to the preliminary information and recommendations issued by such professionals, the corresponding administrative, civil and/or criminal liability —both of the health professionals related to Diagnostikare and of Diagnostikare in its capacity as operator of the Platform— shall be dealt with in accordance with the legislation and regulations applicable in Mexico, including the Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor (Mexican Federal Consumer Protection Law).
Payment processing
Diagnostikare and the Providers rely, for the provision of the Service and/or the sale of the Products and/or the provision of the Providers’ Services, on the Payment Method Provider, in order to facilitate the collection thereof.
Diagnostikare or the Providers will receive the payments collected through the Payment Method Provider, without having direct access to your financial information. By virtue of the foregoing, the Payment Method Provider shall be responsible for the personal information of a financial nature that it requests from the User, and therefore, by accepting these Terms and Conditions, the User releases Diagnostikare from all liability related to payment processing.
Upon providing the User’s credit or debit card information on the page, the Payment Method Provider will request the User’s consent for the processing of the personal data it has requested from them, in accordance with the Privacy Notice.
Limitation of Diagnostikare’s liability
The User acknowledges that Diagnostikare assumes no obligation or liability that is not specifically established in these Terms and Conditions. If the User suffers damage or loss directly attributable to a breach by Diagnostikare of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions, or to proven negligence of Diagnostikare or its personnel, Diagnostikare will indemnify the User in a manner equitable and proportional to the damage caused, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation. The use of the Platform implies that the User acknowledges its informational scope and limitations, described in the "Warning regarding diagnoses" section of this document. Diagnostikare does not guarantee specific results derived from the use of the Platform; however, this does not release Diagnostikare from its liability for damages caused by negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its legal or contractual obligations. Diagnostikare’s liability towards the User shall be determined in accordance with the applicable legislation, including the Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor, and may not be limited in advance in the cases where such law does not permit it.
Diagnostikare does not guarantee that the use of the Software will be uninterrupted, and is not liable for damage to the User’s equipment arising from vulnerabilities, failure to update the operating system, or lack of licenses for software installed on the User’s equipment, provided that such damage is not attributable to Diagnostikare. This limitation does not restrict the User’s right to exercise the legal actions available to them in accordance with the applicable legislation.
Changes to the terms and conditions
Diagnostikare has the power to modify or update these Terms and Conditions unilaterally. When it does so, it will publish the modified or updated version through the Platform. If the User does not accept such modifications or updates, they must stop using the Platform immediately. By continuing to use the Platform, the User confirms their acceptance of the Terms and Conditions.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the applicable legislation in force in the United Mexican States. The Services and sale of Products rendered by Diagnostikare to the User shall be subject to the Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor, the Ley General de Salud (Mexican General Health Law), its regulations and other applicable rules. For the resolution of any dispute related to these Terms and Conditions, the User may appear, at their choice, before the competent authorities and courts of Ciudad de México or before those corresponding to their domicile, in accordance with the provisions of the Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor.
