3. USER CONDUCT AND FAIR USE

3.1 Intended Use

NPIPublicData.org is designed as a free reference tool to help users look up National Provider Identifier (NPI) records. Our lookup is intended for:

  • Verifying healthcare provider identity
  • Confirming NPI numbers for billing, credentialing, or administrative purposes
  • Finding provider details by name or taxonomy
  • General reference and convenience

3.2 Official Verification

Our NPI lookup is for general reference only. For official verification (e.g., billing, credentialing, payer enrollment, HIPAA transactions), you must use the official NPPES NPI Registry. We are not affiliated with CMS or any government agency.

3.3 Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to engage in any activity that:

  • Disrupts, interferes with, or places an unreasonable burden on our servers or network infrastructure
  • Attempts to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service
  • Introduces viruses, malware, or any other harmful code
  • Violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, for any user who violates these Terms.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the Service, or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100), whichever is less.

We strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party websites or services that you visit.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NPIPublicData.org, its affiliates, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, and successors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

Any legal action or proceeding relating to your access to or use of the Service shall be instituted in courts of competent jurisdiction. You and NPIPublicData.org agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.

10. TERMINATION

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
