Your relationship with MEDgle
1.1
Your use of MEDgle’s products, software, services and web sites
(referred to collectively as the “Services” in this
document and excluding any services provided to you by MEDgle under a
separate written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal
agreement between you and MEDgle. “MEDgle” means MEDgle,
whose principal place of business is at 1151 Sonora Court, Suite 2,
Sunnyvale, CA 94086, United States. This document explains how the
agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of that
agreement.
1.2
Unless otherwise agreed in writing with MEDgle, your agreement with
MEDgle will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions
set out in this document. These are referred to below as the
“Universal Terms”.
1.3
Your agreement with MEDgle will also include the terms of any Legal
Notices applicable to the Services, in addition to the Universal
Terms. All of these are referred to below as the “Additional
Terms”. Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these will
be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of,
that Service.
1.4
The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a
legally binding agreement between you and MEDgle in relation to your
use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read
them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to
below as the “Terms”.

and what the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms shall
take precedence in relation to that Service.

or company. Your use of these other services, software or goods may

with these other companies or individuals.
20.2

relation to the Services.
20.3
You agree that MEDgle may provide you with notices, including those
regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings
on the Services.
20.4
You agree that if MEDgle does not exercise or enforce any legal right
or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which MEDgle has the
benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a
formal waiver of MEDgle’s rights and that those rights or
remedies will still be available to MEDgle.
20.5
If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this
matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that
provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest
of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to

20.6
You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies
of which MEDgle is the parent shall be third party beneficiaries to
the Terms and that such other companies shall be entitled to directly
enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the Terms which confers a
benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Other than this, no other
person or company shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms.
20.7
The Terms, and your relationship with MEDgle under the Terms, shall
be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to
its conflict of laws provisions. You and MEDgle agree to submit to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of
Santa Clara, California to resolve any legal matter arising from the
Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that MEDgle shall still be
allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of
urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
