Products and Services Void Where Prohibited
Although the information on this Website is accessible worldwide, not all services discussed in this Website are available to all persons or in all geographic locations or jurisdictions. To the extent permitted by law, WPS reserves the right to limit the provision of its services to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction and to limit the quantities of any services that WPS provides. Any offer for any service made in the materials on this Website is void where prohibited and/or WPS is not licensed or admitted to do business. Nothing in this Website implies that WPS provides, or intends to provide, such services in your area, jurisdiction, state or country.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law and without waiving sovereign immunity, you will hold WPS and its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless for any indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential damage, however it arises (including attorneys' fees and all related costs and expenses of litigation and other forms of dispute resolution), whether in an action of contract, negligence or other tortious action, or arising out of or in connection with these General Terms of Use, including without limitation any claim for personal injury or property damage, arising from (i) your use of and access to the services portrayed on the Website; (ii) your violation of any of these General Terms of Use; (iii) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (iv) any claim that your content caused damage to a third party. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these General Terms of Use.
No Warranties
The Website is designed to provide general information about WPS and its administration of Medicare in J5 and J8, as well as access to eligibility and claims data as authorized. The eligibility and claims data displayed by the Transactional Areas originates from several third party (external) data centers, which are ultimately responsible for the data content provided to the Website and WPS does not guarantee the data will be error-free. Although WPS strives to ensure its accuracy and integrity, all information on this Website and documents available from this server are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. WPS does not represent or guarantee that your use of information or documents from this Website would not infringe privately owned rights.
Information on this Website may contain out of date information, technical inaccuracies and typographical errors. WPS assumes no responsibility or liability for damages incurred directly or indirectly arising out of any errors, omissions, or discrepancies. Information may be changed or updated by WPS at any time without notice. WPS may also make improvements and/or changes in the services described in this information at any time without notice.
