This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon which we make available the App and its contents and offerings to you.

Please note these Terms of Use govern only your use of the App, and not any other service, program, or website connected to Novo Nordisk and/or Glooko. By using the App, you are agreeing to these Terms of Use. By using the App, you affirm that you are a US resident, 18 years of age or older, or are a parent providing consent on behalf of his or her child 18 years of age or younger, and expressly consent to receive communications from Novo Nordisk or its partners, and Glooko, in connection with the App. For more information about data use and collection, please read the most recent version of Novo Nordisk’s Privacy Statement https://www.novonordisk-us.com/disclaimer-privacy.html and Glooko’s Privacy Notice for the App https://glooko.com/privacypolicy-c4c/.

PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY, INCLUDING YOUR COMMUNICATION OPTIONS, BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE APP. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT DO NOT USE ANY OF THE SERVICES. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE YOU ARE ALSO REPRESENTING THAT YOU ARE OF THE APPROPRIATE LEGAL AGE AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO SUCH AN AGREEMENT.

Modifications to Terms of Use. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or replace all or any part of the Terms of Use, or change, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Services at any time by posting a notice on the Services or by sending you an email. It is your responsibility to check the Terms of Use periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of any changes to the Terms of Use constitutes acceptance of those changes.

Permission to Use App; Limitations on Use of App. Subject to your acceptance and while you remain in compliance with the Terms of Use, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App solely and exclusively for your own personal use (or in an authorized capacity as a caregiver) and not for any other purpose. This license is solely and exclusively for your benefit. All other uses of the App are prohibited.

Services and Registration Process. The Services are designed to assist you, i.e., the user, in monitoring your blood glucose levels as well as tracking other data associated with managing diabetes. You may choose to connect to the App in the following ways: (a) connection with the Glooko MeterSync Cable including the Glooko MeterSync Blue Bluetooth version (the “Product”); (b) with a supported other 3rd party cable (“Other Cable”, e.g., USB OTG cable listed on the USB Glooko Compatibility web page); (c) web browser without using the Product in certain cases; or (d) you may also choose to use the Services in connection with the Glooko Kiosk or Glooko Transmitter made available to you in your healthcare provider’s office.

Please note that you may use the Services in connection with the Product only after you: (a) have received the Product from us or received it from a healthcare provider, insurance company or other entity (“Sponsor”); and (b) have downloaded the Glooko/Cornerstones4Care App. You must also read and accept the Glooko Terms of Sale for the Product (“Product Terms of Sale”) before using the Product or accessing the Services in connection with your use of the Product. Whether you receive the Product from Glooko or receive it from a third-party Sponsor, such as a health-care provider, employer or an insurance company, the terms of this Agreement will apply to the use of the Services.

Registration and Account Integrity. As part of the registration process you will need to create an account, including a username and password. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is accurate, not misleading, and secure. You cannot create an account or username and password using the names and information of another person or using words that are the trademarks or the property of another party (including ours), or vulgar, obscene or in any other way inappropriate.

Any information you provide to us shall be accurate, complete and updated. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account and for maintaining the security of your access credentials that you use to access and use the App and any information you input to the App. You shall not use or access another user’s account without such other user’s express permission. You will immediately notify Glooko in writing of any unauthorized use of your account, or any other account-related security breach of which you are aware at the address under the Contact section below. The Services are available only to individuals who are adults, or children whose use is supervised by a parent and/or legal guardian.

If for any reason you suspect that your username and password has been disclosed to or obtained by another party you should contact us immediately. Please note that we never contact users requesting them to confirm their username and password or other details. If you also use Glooko via the Glooko Kiosk or Glooko Transmitter at the office of your healthcare provider, all terms of this Agreement apply. We reserve the right with or without notice to suspend or terminate any account in breach.

Privacy & Security. In order to use the App, you may provide us with your name, email address, username, password, and even biometric information, including speech recognition. We require this information in order to communicate with you and provide you with the use of the App. During your use of the App, you may be asked for additional details about your condition, lifestyle, diet, exercise, or other information in order to tailor the App to best suit your needs and to improve the App. You are not required to provide this additional information, but not doing so may make your experience less personalized and/or substantially more inefficient. Your information will be shared between Novo Nordisk, Glooko, and service providers who support the App in accordance with applicable laws. Novo Nordisk, Glooko, and service providers may share information that does not individually identify you without restriction in accordance with applicable laws. Novo Nordisk and Glooko understand and value the importance of your privacy. For more information on the collection and use of your information, please read the full Privacy Notice https://glooko.com/privacypolicy-c4c/.

Use of Your Information. If you create, transmit, submit, display or otherwise make available information (including, without limitation, information you have made available automatically through connection of the Product, and/or Other Cable to the App) while using the Service, you may provide only information that you own or have the right to use. When you provide access to any such information through the Service, you give both Novo Nordisk and Glooko a license to fully use and exploit that information in connection with providing you the Services. However, we may only use the information you provide as permitted by our Privacy Policy https://glooko.com/privacypolicy-c4c/, and applicable law. If you use the Services via the Glooko Kiosk or Glooko Transmitter, your Cornerstones4Care account, and/or a mobile device provided to you by your healthcare provider, you agree to allow your healthcare provider to access and review your data and to transfer that data to your file on their Electronic Health Record “EHR.” Your consent to share your data with your healthcare provider is in no way a condition of your continuing to receive treatment from that healthcare provider. Please closely review our Privacy Policy https://glooko.com/privacypolicy-c4c/ for more information regarding how we use and disclose your Personal Information. Our Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated into these Terms of Use by this reference. We currently host the Service in a facility located in the United States, and it is not intended for use outside the United States. Accessing the Service from a location outside the United States is a violation of these Terms of Use and may result in (1) termination of your account, as permitted by applicable law; (2) a different level of legal protection for your personal information than exists in your home country; or (3) both.

Alerts. Novo Nordisk or Glooko may from time to time provide automatic alerts and voluntary account-related alerts. Automatic alerts may be sent to you following certain changes made to your Cornerstones4Care or Glooko account. Account alerts may be turned on by default as part of the Services. Some of these alerts may then be customized, deactivated or reactivated by you. These alerts allow you to choose certain alert messages for your accounts.

Electronic alerts will be pushed to the App, presented when you access the Services with a web browser, or can be sent to the email address you have provided as your primary email account address for this App account.

You can also choose to have certain alerts sent to a mobile device that accepts text messages. Changes to your email address or mobile number will apply to all of your alerts. Because alerts are not encrypted, we will never include your password. However, alerts may include some information about your accounts. Information such as average blood glucose levels and related patterns, medication information, insulin delivery, or the number of times you tested your blood glucose may be included. Anyone with access to your email or mobile device will be able to view the content of these alerts.
