Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 2 September 2026
These Terms apply to public pages, accounts, membership, petitions, webinars/events, certificates, education, comments, forms and connected services. Feature-specific notices supplement these Terms.
Accounts and identity
Provide accurate information and protect passwords, OAuth sessions, verification links/codes and devices. Do not impersonate others, falsify qualifications or workplace, share protected access, automate signatures, forge certificates or bypass controls. UCS may require verification, suspend access, invalidate fraud and preserve evidence.
Medical responsibility
UCS content is educational, not individualized diagnosis, treatment, emergency care, prescription or telemedicine. It does not create a doctor-patient relationship with UCS. Healthcare professionals remain responsible for evidence, law, informed consent, medical secrecy, institutional rules and clinical judgment.
User content
The uploader is responsible for legality, rights and confidentiality. Patient material must comply with the Patient Privacy Policy. By submitting content, the user grants UCS a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, format, technically adapt, display to the intended audience, archive and moderate it for UCS educational, organizational, compliance, evidence and communication purposes; ownership remains with the rightsholder.
Prohibited use
No unlawful access, malware, harassment, doxxing, scraping protected data, spam, dangerous or knowingly false medical claims, infringement, unauthorized commercial promotion, manipulation of signatures/certificates/analytics or disclosure of confidential data.
Liability and law
To the extent permitted by mandatory law, UCS is not responsible for independent clinical decisions, acts of independent members/organizers, third-party outages, indirect loss or consequences of inaccurate user data. Nothing excludes liability that Ukrainian law does not allow to be excluded. Ukrainian law governs these Terms.
Contact
Questions, privacy requests, complaints and security reports: info@uasurgeons.org. UCS may reasonably verify identity and authority before acting on a request.
Membership applications and supporting documents
An applicant is responsible for ensuring that every diploma, certificate, license, professional credential, employment confirmation or other document submitted with a membership application is genuine, current where relevant, complete enough for review, lawfully obtained and belongs to the applicant or is otherwise lawfully submitted.
The applicant must not alter a document in a way that misrepresents qualification, identity, issuer, dates, scope, validity or professional status. Redaction of information that is not needed for verification is permitted where it does not make the document misleading or prevent verification.
UCS may request an original for visual comparison, a clearer copy, translation, supplementary evidence, confirmation from an issuer or verification through an official/public register where available and lawful. Submission of documents does not guarantee membership. UCS may approve, reject, defer, request more information, suspend or terminate membership in accordance with its statute, internal rules and applicable law.
Knowingly false, forged, materially altered or misleading documents may result in rejection, suspension or termination, restriction of access, preservation of relevant evidence and, where required or justified by law, referral to an issuing institution, competent authority or legal adviser.
Membership or verification by UCS does not itself create a state medical license, state accreditation, right to practice medicine, guarantee of clinical competence or endorsement of every professional act.
