Customers can also visit the Hypertension Care website to obtain information about the Hypertension.App and the company.

2. Application area

2.1 Our Hypertension.App

Within the scope of the performance of our Hypertension.App, we provide customers with information and content that has been compiled after careful, precise research and checks of internal and external sources of supply. The optimal generation of results requires your active commitment and participation.
We explicitly point out that our services cannot replace the medical consultation or diagnosis of a doctor! The Hypertension.App acts exclusively to appeal to your information and awareness raising. The results which are influenced from your information do not constitute therapy recommendations or medical advice. If you have any questions about your disease or therapy, we always recommend that you contact your doctor or other qualified health care providers. You should not ignore the advice of a physician based on the data generated by the Hypertension.App. This data is solely for your and your physician's guidance/support and is not intended to be a supplement or substitute therapy.
During or in connection with the use of our products we can neither guarantee an improvement of the state of health nor take responsibility for any health problems that may occur. Furthermore, it is recommended that you consult with your physician or a qualified health care provider before using Hypertension.App.

2.2 Scope of the General Terms of Use

The following General Terms of Use govern the contractual relationship between Hypertension Care and persons who (want to) purchase our Hypertension.App. These General Terms of Use are provided in different languages.
