NDDS and Nipissing District Developmental Screen Intellectual Property Association have created the Site to assist parents, health care and child care professionals (Users) with a convenient and easy to use method of recording the development and progress of infants and children within certain age groupings. The Site is not meant to be a substitute for the advice and/or treatment of health care and child care professionals trained to properly and professionally assess the development and progress of infants and children. Although the Site may help users to determine when they need to seek out the advice and/or treatment of health care and child care professionals, Users must still consult with competent health care and child care professionals for advice and/or treatment respecting specific children and their particular needs. Users acknowledge and agree to the following when using the Site:

  1. The needs of each infant/child are unique. Each infant/child will develop differently and as such, any perceived limitations in development must be reviewed by a health care and/or child care professional to be properly assessed;
  2. While efforts have been made to make the Site as culturally, economically and geographically neutral as possible, it must be understood by Users that they may still reflect some cultural, economic or geographic biases. As such, these biases may affect a specific infant’s/child’s results in a Checklist without actually reflecting a developmental limitation. Again, Users should contact a health care and/or child care professional to review the needs of an individual infant/child;
  3. The Site cannot contain every possible indicator of developmental limitations or goals to be met. As such, the Site is not designed for and should not be used to diagnose or treat perceived developmental limitations or other health needs.

NDDS and Nipissing District Developmental Screen Intellectual Property Association make no representation or warranties, express or implied with respect to the Site. This includes, but is not limited to, any implied warranty or merchantability of fitness for a particular use or purpose, and specifically disclaims any such warranties and representations. NDDS and Nipissing District Developmental Screen Intellectual Property Association, and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, contractors and volunteers expressly disclaim any liability for loss, injury or damages incurred or occasioned as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the use of Site. By accessing the Site you agree, personally, and on behalf of the persons or organizations referred to in section 1 of these Terms and Conditions, to assume all risk of loss that may arise or be associated with such use.

The Site is made available with the express understanding that NDDS and Nipissing District Developmental Screen Intellectual Property Association are not engaged in rendering health care, child care, medical or other professional services.

You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend NDDS, Nipissing District Developmental Screen Intellectual Property Association and all of the persons listed in the preceding section from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, actions, damages, losses, judgments and costs (including legal fees) arising out of or in connection with (i) your use of, access to or reliance on the Site, or of any external links on this Site, any website linked to this Site, or any contents thereof, (ii) your online conduct in connection with the Site, (iii) your (or anyone acting under your password or username) violation or breach of these Terms and Conditions, (iv) your failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations in connection with the Site, or (v) your negligence, wilful misconduct, or violations of the intellectual property or other rights of any person in connection with the Site.
