TERMS AND CONDITIONS

NON-HOUSTON METHODIST PHYSICIANS

Private physicians, defined as physicians who have a referral relationship with any Houston Methodist entity, and who are not employed full time by Houston Methodist, Houston Methodist Specialty Physician Group (“HMSPG”) or Houston Methodist Primary Care Group (“HMPCG”). Non-Houston Methodist physicians within the Greater Houston Area are required to pay the full Fair Market Value registration fee.

CANCELLATION / REFUNDS:

Requests for registration refunds must be in writing and received by the Office of External Relations and Communications at least 10 business days before the course begins. The date the request is received by the Office of External Relations and Communications will be considered the cancellation date. Requests received after the refund deadline will not be processed. Cancellations are subject to an administrative fee deducted from the registration fee paid to cover guarantees and other expenses. Requests must be emailed to the Office of External Relations and Communications (events@houstonmethodist.org). The Office of External Relations and Communications reserves the right to cancel activities, not less than 10 business days before the scheduled date, if extenuating circumstances make it necessary. If an activity is cancelled, the Office of External Relations and Communications’ liability is limited to the registration fee paid.

CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS: For your protection and the protection of Houston Methodist, policies dictate that credit card information shall not be accepted via e-mail.

DISCLAIMER

I further understand that the methods, techniques, and procedures demonstrated and the views and opinions expressed by speakers, presenters, and faculty are their own and do not necessarily represent those of Houston Methodist, nor does presentation on the course program represent or constitute endorsement or promotion by Houston Methodist. Houston Methodist expressly disclaims any warranties or guaranties, expressed or implied, and shall not be liable for damages of any kind in connection with the material, methods, information, techniques, opinions, or procedures expressed, presented, or demonstrated.

CONFIDENTIALITY

I understand that I may have access to confidential information, or information of a type that is typically treated as confidential in the healthcare industry regardless of whether labeled as such, that belongs to Houston Methodist or a third party because of my presence at a Houston Methodist facility or other incidental or unintentional access. I agree not to copy, disseminate, or use such information. I will act in good faith to alert Houston Methodist personnel to any such access to confidential information.

PHOTOGRAPHS/VIDEO

I authorize Houston Methodist to use and disclose photographs or video images taken of me by Houston Methodist personnel for the purpose of publishing and republishing in professional journals, medical books, on social media, on Houston Methodist’s website, or to be used for any other purpose which Houston Methodist may deem appropriate.
