WVP Family Website Use Agreement

Background

The Cycle of Engagement (“COE”) tools for early childhood use a family-centered, data-driven relationship-based approach to promoting whole child, equitable and integrated well-child care. The tools include the Well Visit Planner (“WVP”), the Online Promoting Healthy Development Survey (“Online PHDS”), and the CARE_PATH for Kids (“CPK”). Each tool has a family website ("Website”) and the WVP and Online PHDS have provider use portals.

All COE websites were developed and are maintained by the Center for the Advancement of Innovative Health Practices operating as the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative (“CAHMI”). CAHMI created the COE model and tools for use by clinicians, providers, practices, organizations (“Providers”) and families to assess and improve the quality of child care and promote child and family health.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

All COE tools are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). CAHMI do not collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our website, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.

It states the terms and conditions under which you may access and use the Website. By accessing and using the Website, you are indicating your acceptance to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Furthermore, this Use Agreement governs your use of all Cycle of Engagement websites.

Your continued access and use of the website constitute your agreement to be bound by the modified Use Agreement.

CAHMI reserves the right, for any reason, in our sole discretion, to terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the website, including, but not limited to, content, features or hours of availability. We may also impose limits on certain features of the website or restrict your access to part or all of the website without notice or penalty. In no event shall CAHMI or OHSU be liable for any incidental, special or consequential or indirect damages arising out of or relating to the use or inability to use WVP website.

If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, it shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect without being invalidated in any way. You may not assign, convey, subcontract, or delegate your rights, duties, or obligations hereunder. CAHMI will not be considered to have waived any of its rights or remedies described in this Agreement unless the waiver is in writing and signed by CAHMI. No delay or omission by CAHMI in exercising its rights or remedies will impair CAHMI’s rights or be construed as a waiver. Any single or partial exercise of a right or remedy will not preclude further exercise of any other right or remedy. CAHMI’s failure to enforce the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of CAHMI’s right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provisions of this Agreement.
