Last updated: 18 May 2026

These Terms govern the UCS website, accounts, invites, Google sign-in, member access, education materials, events, committees, library, blog, uploads, and communications. By using the website, creating an account, activating an invite, signing in with Google, applying for membership, uploading content, joining a program, or continuing to use the platform, you accept these Terms. The platform is intended mainly for healthcare professionals, surgical trainees, educators, invited contributors, partners, and members; public pages are informational only. Users must provide accurate information, protect credentials, not share accounts or invites, and not misrepresent identity, qualifications, affiliation, clinical status, or authority. UCS content is educational and not individualized medical advice; it does not create a doctor-patient relationship or replace law, institutional protocols, licensing duties, clinical judgment, informed consent, or emergency care. UCS may approve, refuse, suspend, restrict, or terminate access or membership. Uploaded content must be lawful, rights-cleared, and patient-safe; users grant UCS a non-exclusive worldwide royalty-free license for educational, organizational, promotional, compliance, archive, and evidence purposes. Prohibited conduct includes unlawful use, privacy breaches, harassment, malware, scraping, bypassing access controls, spam, rights infringement, misleading claims, and unsafe medical advice. To the maximum extent allowed by law, the platform is provided “as is”, and UCS is not liable for indirect, clinical, professional, reputational, data-loss, or lost-profit damages. Users indemnify UCS for breaches, unlawful content, privacy violations, professional misconduct, rights infringement, misuse, or inaccurate information. Ukrainian law applies unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
