You must submit a valid email address and select a password and username (TrialSite username) during the registration process. You may never use another’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information.

International Use

Dispute Resolution
A printed version of the Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You and TrialSite agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
The Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and all applicable federal laws.
ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO USE OF THIS SITE OR SERVICES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH CONFIDENTIAL AND BINDING MEDIATION. A mediator appointed by the parties will assist in attempting to resolve the dispute. Each party acts in an individual capacity and not as part of a class. The mediator may not consolidate claims of more than one party, or preside over any class proceeding. If the parties are unable to agree on a settlement, the mediator will act as an arbitrator to resolve the issue(s) on which the parties fail to agree and will impose a final and binding resolution on the parties with the effect of an arbitration decision. The mediator’s final and binding resolution will constitute an arbitration award and will be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.
You expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for enforcing this binding mediation agreement, or any litigation arising in the event this binding mediation agreement is held to be unenforceable, will be only the state or federal courts located in Utah, and you further agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. Use of the Service is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of the Terms of Use, including without limitation, this section.
BY USING THIS SITE OR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE BINDING MEDIATION AGREEMENT, AND YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND A CLAIM IN COURT AND YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING.
Miscellaneous
The Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and TrialSite with respect to the Service and use of this Site, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and TrialSite with respect to this Site or any other of the subject matter hereof. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. No failure of TrialSite or the Site to enforce any of its rights under these Terms of Use will act as a waiver of such rights. The Terms of Use are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with TrialSite’s prior written consent. TrialSite may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Terms of Use and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Terms of Use, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. All notices under the Terms of Use will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service. Unless otherwise indicated, the Terms of Use and all Content provided by TrialSite are copyright TrialSite, all rights reserved. TrialSite, and the TrialSite logo, as well as any other logos or brand features owned by TrialSite, are trademarks or service marks of TrialSite or otherwise proprietary to TrialSite.
