The HappyDiab System is not designed to diagnose or screen for diabetes. Individuals should always seek the advice of their physician or other qualified health care professional if they have any questions regarding a medical condition. Individuals should never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking such advice based on information contained in their HappyDiab System registered account. You should follow your doctor's or other healthcare professional's usual instructions if your results are too high or too low, or if you notice other diabetes-related changes in your health. 
While HappyDiab uses the information received through the HappyDiab System to improve its treatment advice, it does not provide medical care and is under no obligation to contact an individual's physician or any other healthcare professional in the event of changes in results. 
The HappyDiab System is designed to help people better manage diabetes by providing data, analysis and other communications. It is solely up to you, your physician and other qualified healthcare professionals to communicate your blood glucose levels and other diabetes-related information, to provide feedback and to discuss or recommend existing testing and treatment options. HappyDiab does not recommend or endorse any test, product, procedure or opinion.  
If you decide to act on any information transmitted or stored in the HappyDiab system or any information received from HappyDiab employees, agents or suppliers, you do so at your own risk. 
 
- No Medical File
 
The information made available to you through the HappyDiab System does not constitute an electronic medical record. If you deem it necessary to include in your medical records any information contained in your HappyDiab account at your sole discretion, you may reproduce such information by printing it.

- Disclaimer of warranties
 
You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of the HappyDiab System is at your sole risk and that, to the extent permitted by law, you assume the entire risk as to its ability to provide satisfactory quality, performance, accuracy and functionality. 
The HappyDiab System is designed to facilitate access to your blood glucose data and other diabetes-related information. Any content included in the HappyDiab System is intended only to provide information for the analysis of blood glucose data. While HappyDiab believes that the data displayed in the HappyDiab System is accurate at the time of transmission, HappyDiab makes no representations, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information. Some of the above exclusions of warranties may not be effective in all countries or jurisdictions and therefore may not apply to you. HappyDiab will not be liable to you for any errors, omissions or delays in the transmission of information, or for interruptions in any connection between telecommunications systems and the HappyDiab System.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, HappyDiab (its affiliates and third party suppliers) provides the HappyDiab System to users on an "as is" and "as available" basis, with all faults and imperfections and without warranty of any kind, and hereby disclaim all other warranties and conditions, whether express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, warranties of title and non-infringement of third party rights, and all implied warranties, obligations or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and freedom from viruses. No oral or written information given by HappyDiab or by an authorized representative of HappyDiab shall be construed as a warranty.
HappyDiab, its affiliates and third party suppliers do not warrant that the functions contained in the HappyDiab System will meet your requirements or that the operation of the HappyDiab System will be uninterrupted or error-free. Some countries/states and provinces/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts. Therefore, the above exclusions may not apply to you. To the extent that applicable law requires HappyDiab to provide warranties, you agree that the scope and duration of such warranties will be the minimum required under such law.
HappyDiab makes no warranties or representations as to any third party hardware or software and disclaims all liability for any failure thereof. HappyDiab disclaims all liability that may arise from legal actions or claims against HappyDiab or its affiliates, agents or assignees, or other third parties, in connection with the enforcement of these terms and conditions. Some countries/states and provinces/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of warranties. Therefore, the above exclusions may not apply to you in their entirety.

- Limitation of liability
 
Notwithstanding any losses you may suffer and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability incurred by HappyDiab, its affiliates and suppliers under or in connection with these terms of use and your sole remedy therefor, shall be limited to the repair or rectification of any defects in the HappyDiab System. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall HappyDiab, its affiliates or suppliers be liable for any damages, including special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information or business interruption, personal injury, invasion of privacy arising out of or in connection with the use or inability to use the HappyDiab System, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used or capable of being used with the HappyDiab System, losses caused by viruses or other technologically harmful agents that may infect your device as a result of downloading the mobile application/content/website linked to the HappyDiab System, or more generally in connection with any provision of these terms of use), even if HappyDiab, its affiliates or third-party suppliers have been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the relief granted does not fulfill its primary purpose. Should an error in the HappyDiab System cause computer problems and associated data loss, you alone are in a position to implement appropriate backup plans and protection systems according to your needs. For these business reasons, you understand and accept the limitations of liability set forth in this section and acknowledge that without your consent to this provision, any applicable charges would be higher.
Because some countries/states and provinces/jurisdictions prohibit or limit the exclusion or limitation of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the limitations or exclusions in this section may not apply to you in their entirety and any liability must, to the fullest extent possible, be assumed in accordance with applicable law.
Other than information you share with your healthcare professional through the HappyDiab System, when you choose to share your personal information, including information about your health, from your account registered in the HappyDiab System with third parties, including third party applications, you acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither HappyDiab nor its business partners are responsible for your decision to share and/or disclose your personal data, including your health information.
