Thank you for using our products and services (“Services”). The Services are provided by Pennington
Biomedical Research Center, registered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 70815, United States.
By using our Services, you are agreeing to these terms. Please read them carefully.
Our Services are very diverse, so sometimes additional terms or product requirements (including age
requirements) may apply. Additional terms will be available with the relevant Services, and those
additional terms become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services.
Using our Services
You must follow any policies made available to you within the Services.
Don’t misuse our Services. For example, don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them
using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. You may use our
Services only as permitted by law, including applicable export and re-export control laws and
regulations. We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you if you do not comply with our
terms or policies or if we are investigating suspected misconduct.
Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services
or the content you access. You may not use content from our Services unless you obtain permission
from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These terms do not grant you the right to use any
branding or logos used in our Services. Don’t remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed
in or along with our Services.
Our Services display some content that is not PBRC’s. This content is the sole responsibility of the
entity that makes it available. We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates
our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our
policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t
assume that we do.
In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative
messages, and other information. You may opt out of some of those communications.
Some of our Services are available on mobile devices. Do not use such Services in a way that
distracts you and prevents you from obeying traffic or safety laws.
Your Account
You may need an account (“Account”) in order to use some of our Services. You may create your own
Account, or your Account may be assigned to you by an administrator, such as your employer or
educational institution. If you are using an Account assigned to you by an administrator, different
or additional terms may apply, and your administrator may be able to access or disable your account.
To protect your Account, keep your password confidential. You are responsible for the activity that
happens on or through your Account. Try not to reuse your Account password on third-party
applications. If you learn of any unauthorized use of your password or Account, contact your
administrator and PBRC.
Privacy and Copyright Protection
PBRC’s privacy policies explain how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you

our privacy policies.
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminate accounts of repeat infringers

Your Content in our Services
Some of our Services allow you to upload, submit, store, send or receive content. You retain
ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs
to you stays yours.
When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give PBRC
(and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create
derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so
that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly
display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited
purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license
continues even if you stop using our Services. Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove
content that has been provided to that Service. Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or
settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you
have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit to our Services.
Our automated systems analyze your content to provide you personally relevant product features. This
analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored.
You can find more information about how PBRC uses and stores content in the privacy policy or
additional terms for Services. If you submit feedback or suggestions about our Services, we may use
your feedback or suggestions without obligation to you.
Modifying and Terminating our Services
We are constantly changing and improving our Services. We may add or remove functionalities or
features, and we may suspend or stop a Service altogether.
You can stop using our Services at any time, although we’ll be sorry to see you go. PBRC may also
stop providing Services to you or add or create new limits to our Services at any time. We believe
that you own your data and preserving your access to such data is important. If we discontinue a
Service, where reasonably possible, we will give you reasonable advance notice and a chance to get
information out of that Service.
Our Warranties and Disclaimers
We provide our Services using a commercially reasonable level of skill and care and we hope that you
will enjoy using them. But there are certain things that we don’t promise about our Services.
OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THESE TERMS OR ADDITIONAL TERMS, NEITHER PBRC NOR ITS SUPPLIERS
OR DISTRIBUTORS MAKE ANY SPECIFIC PROMISES ABOUT THE SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON’T MAKE ANY
COMMITMENTS ABOUT THE CONTENT WITHIN THE SERVICES, THE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF THE SERVICES, OR THEIR

Z!G is designed to be a self-help program which in some cases may include individualized feedback

or other professional services. Use of the Services is not for emergencies. If you think you have a
medical or mental health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest open clinic or emergency room. If
you have thoughts of harming yourself or others or feel that you are a danger to yourself or to
others, please call 911 or notify appropriate police or emergency medical personnel. If you have

Business uses of our Services
If you are using our Services on behalf of a business, that business accepts these terms. It will
hold harmless and indemnify PBRC and its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from any claim,
suit or action arising from or related to the use of the Services or violation of these terms,
including any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages, suits, judgments,
litigation costs and attorneys’ fees.
About these Terms
We may modify these terms or any additional terms that apply to a Service to, for example, reflect
changes to the law or changes to our Services. You should look at the terms regularly. We’ll post
notice of modifications to these terms on this page. We’ll post notice of modified additional terms
in the applicable Service. Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner
than fourteen days after they are posted. However, changes addressing new functions for a Service or
changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified
terms for a Service, you should discontinue your use of that Service. If there is a conflict between
these terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.
These terms control the relationship between PBRC and you. They do not create any third-party
beneficiary rights.
If you do not comply with these terms, and we don’t act right away, this doesn’t mean that we are
giving up any rights that we may have (such as acting in the future). If it turns out that a term is
not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms. The laws of Louisiana, U.S.A., excluding
Louisiana’s conflict of laws rules, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to these
terms or the Services. All claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services will be
litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Louisiana, USA, and you and PBRC consent to
personal jurisdiction in those courts.
