Terms and Conditions of Use

The terms and conditions described here, hereinafter referred to as the “Terms,” include the “Terms and Conditions of Use” of the Rais Blog site, which govern the use of the system, which is made up of services whose brand is managed by BACKSTAY TECHNOLOGY LTDA, registered under CNPJ (Brazilian company tax ID) No. 68.588.840/0001-50. Users are the people and health professionals who register in the system and accept these Terms.

General terms:

1. By accessing the site, using our services or registering in our system, you agree to the “Terms” described here. If you do not agree with the current version of the terms, you are not authorized to use the services or to access the websites and services of the RAIS brand. Your authorization to use them depends on your acceptance of the terms.
2. We may revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will be available on our system (www.raisdata.com). The revised Terms take effect on the date they are published on the system. By continuing to access the system after such revisions take effect, you agree to and accept compliance with the revised Terms.
3. Our system is a publishing platform for health content, where professionals and other interested parties publish texts and other forms of information (such as videos) under their own responsibility. We at RAIS provide the infrastructure for publishing this material.
4. The RAIS system provides access to sites and services free of charge. However, Backstay reserves the right to charge for access to the site or for the use of any of the services, whenever it sees fit, for current and/or additional services, with prior notice to users and giving them the option to accept or decline the charge, subject to the terms that apply to declining. The RAIS site also reserves the right to display ads on the text pages published by any user, or on any other pages it deems necessary, and such ads are therefore not tied to the content of any user.
5. Some sections of the RAIS system contain material intended for adults only, recommended for people who are at least 18 (eighteen) years old. When a user accesses adult content, we will presume that the user is at least 18 (eighteen) years old and that the material is appropriate for their age.
6. The system is not intended to diagnose or to replace the assessment of a physician, pharmacist, nutritionist, physical education professional, or any other professional who may use the information we store. For any intervention of any kind affecting your current condition as an individual (such as diet, treatment of diseases, or proposed physical activities, among others), a professional in the relevant field must be consulted. The information and reports presented here serve only as informational support for the community.
7. The form and nature of the system may be changed without any prior notice, as may the total or temporary suspension of the services provided.
8. The company also reserves the right to suspend the use of the system by a given user or group of users, or to limit the amount of data stored, with prior notice to the user. The company also has the right to refuse subscriptions or to delete information or users entirely from the system. Accounts that have been inactive for more than 6 months may also be deleted automatically by the system.

The User:

1. The information stored in the system, its accuracy and its currency are entirely the user’s responsibility, and the user confirms this responsibility by accepting the terms of use. The system will only use the information provided by the user to generate reports and analyses intended to support the current health picture of a location, region, country and others, in accordance with our “Privacy policy” and these terms. The user will always be the party responsible for, and the owner of, the data in the information published. By using the system, the user agrees to our privacy policy.
2. The user retains full responsibility for saving and using their personal passwords. The RAIS team recommends using strong passwords (for example, a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and letters, and avoiding full names, birth dates or other numbers that third parties could easily guess). We are not liable for any damage caused by failure to comply with what is described in this item.
3. Keeping personal information up to date in the system is also entirely the user’s responsibility. In the specific case of a change of email address, the user must inform the RAIS team so that the database can be updated.
4. There are limitations on the use of the system, in accordance with legal requirements, in order to preserve the integrity of our users, improve the quality of the services provided and offer users a better experience. Any abuse will be penalized, and the accounts involved may be deleted temporarily or permanently. If other accounts are created to circumvent a previous deletion, those new accounts may also be deleted.
