Medical Advice and Treatment
SafeKeeping does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

You acknowledge and agree that the Healthcare Providers are solely responsible for and have complete authority, responsibility, supervision, and control over the provision of medical services, advice, instructions, treatment decisions, and other professional health care services performed for any Patient whose information you are authorized to access under this Agreement, and that all diagnoses, treatments, procedures, and other professional health care services are provided and performed exclusively by or under the supervision of Healthcare Providers as they, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. You further acknowledge and agree that SafeKeeping does not provide or endorse any medical advice or treatment on or through the Services and no information obtained through the Services can be so construed or used.

SafeKeeping has made and will make all reasonable efforts in accordance with applicable laws and agreements to safeguard the integrity and availability of the Content. Further, when using the Services, information may be transmitted over a medium that may be beyond the control and jurisdiction of SafeKeeping. Accordingly, SafeKeeping assumes no liability for or relating to the delay, failure, interruption, or corruption of any data or other information transmitted in connection with use of the Services that is reasonably determined to be beyond SafeKeeping's control.
The Content was created and is maintained and provided to SafeKeeping solely by the participating Medical Service Provider. Although SafeKeeping will work with participating Medical Service Providers to strive for the most current and accurate data, it has not, will not, and cannot verify the accuracy and completeness of the Content. The accuracy and completeness of the Content is entirely the responsibility of the Medical Service Providers and/or Healthcare Providers. You understand, therefore, that SafeKeeping shall not be liable to you for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in the Content.
