Article V
Warranties and Disclaimers
- Warranty Limitations. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND EXCEPT FOR ANY LIMITED WARRANTY INCLUDED IN THE APPLICABLE FUSION PRODUCT’S LABELING, FUSION PRODUCTS AND THE WEBSITES (INCLUDING THE INFORMATION IN THE WEBSITES) ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITES AND FUSION PRODUCTS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
FUSION DOES NOT MAKE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WARRANTIES
- THAT FUSION PRODUCTS OR THE WEBSITES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE RETRIEVABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED;
- AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE WEBSITES OR FUSION PRODUCTS,
- AS TO ANY THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE, DEVICE, OR PRODUCT THAT YOU MAY USE IN CONNECTION WITH THE WEBSITE OR FUSION PRODUCTS,
- WITH RESPECT TO THE INFORMATION OR CONTENT POSTED ON THE WEBSITES, OR
- THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ANY CUSTOMER WILL BE FREE FROM INTERCEPTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.
FUSION HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CREATED BY LAW, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, OPERATION, COMPLIANCE WITH DOCUMENTATION, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
- Sole and Exclusive Remedy. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE WEBSITES, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE THEIR USE.
- Third-Party Commentary. Any individuals or healthcare providers whose comments regarding Fusion Products are contained on the Websites, including in any descriptions, explanations, FAQs, brochures, educational materials, webinars, archives, blogs, news, journals, or studies of Fusion Products, may or may not be paid consultants of Fusion. The inclusion of a testimonial or story on the Websites is not an endorsement, recommendation, or prediction from Fusion that you will obtain any particular outcome. Every patient and every surgery is different and presents its own unique challenges and recovery times. Your results from Lapilock™ 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery™ may differ from the results portrayed in patient testimonials and/or stories contained on the Websites. Fusion is not responsible, and will not be liable, to you or others for any decision you make, or action you take, in reliance on the information obtained from the Websites. Your decision to undergo surgery with the Lapilock™ 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery™ is an important decision and should be based on your own investigation of, and consultation with, your own physician, doctor and surgeon, including review of the Patient Risk Information on the Websites.
- The “Find A Doctor” tool. Choosing a physician is an important decision and should be based on your own investigation of a particular physician’s education, training, and experience. The Websites include a Find A Doctor tool for locating physicians who have surgical experience with performing the Lapilock™ 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery™. The underlying database may not include all physicians that use, or have used, Fusion Products. Listed surgeons have performed a Lapilock™ 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery™ in the last 6 months and completed a Lapilock™ 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery™ training course, have not paid a fee to be listed, are identified by their geographic proximity to the location you enter, and may or may not be paid consultants of Fusion. Fusion is not recommending that you utilize any particular surgeon, and you should make an independent determination regarding the qualifications and suitability of a surgeon and any Fusion Product.
The inclusion of a physician in the Find A Doctor database is not an endorsement or recommendation of that physician, and the fact that a physician is not included in the database does not mean that the physician is not qualified to perform the Lapilock™ 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery™. Listed physicians have provided the information contained in their profiles, which Fusion has not verified. Fusion does not verify or monitor the licenses, credentials, accreditations, or qualifications of the physicians listed in the database and is not responsible for the medical advice of any of the listed physicians. You are solely responsible for your communications and interactions with any listed medical professionals, and any information you send to them is not governed by Fusion’s Privacy Policy.
Some surgeons may represent that they perform the Lapilock™ 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery™, but with “alternative instrumentation and implants”. Don’t risk your health, ask your surgeon if they are using the Lapilock™ system manufactured and patented by Fusion. If they are not, then they are not performing Lapilock™ 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery™.
- Product Discontinuation. Fusion reserves the right to discontinue the sale of any Fusion Product listed on the Websites at any time without notice.
Article VI

TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION IS NOT APPLICABLE OR IS PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF THE FUSION PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR TOTAL DAMAGES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE WEBSITES IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT GREATER THAN $500.
- Limitations in Certain Jurisdictions. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE SET OUT IN SECTIONS 6 and 7) MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE CERTAIN ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. TO THE EXTENT THAT WE MAY NOT, AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW, DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITIES, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF SUCH WARRANTY AND THE EXTENT OF OUR LIABILITY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER SUCH APPLICABLE LAW, AND THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED MODIFIED TO THE MINIMUM EXTENT NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH SUCH APPLICABLE LAW.
- Exclusions from Limitations. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 7.1 through 7.3 above, nothing in this Section 7 is intended to limit or exclude liability where such liability is mandatory under applicable law and arises from the following: (a) death or personal injury resulting directly from willful or negligent act(s) or omission(s) by Fusion or any of its employees or agents; or (b) any fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of Fusion.

- Venue. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any aspect of the relationship between you and Fusion, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (each, a “Dispute”), shall be resolved exclusively in the federal and state courts located in Phoenix, Arizona, and you and Fusion each waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
