Terms and Conditions of Use

These Terms and Conditions of Use (hereinafter, the «Terms») govern access to and use of the website cecsaga.cl (hereinafter, the «Site»), operated by Centro de Estudios Clínicos SAGA SpA, RUT 77.074.304-4, with its address at Av. Antonio Varas 497, Providencia, Santiago, Chile (hereinafter, «SAGA»).
Accessing and/or using the Site confers the status of «User» and implies full acceptance of these Terms, the Legal Notice, and the Cookie Policy. If the User does not agree with any of these documents, the User must refrain from using the Site.

The purpose of the Site is to provide information about SAGA, its team of professionals, its therapeutic areas (oncology, metabolism, neurology, among others), its active clinical studies, and scientific outreach and press content, as well as to provide a contact channel for people interested in participating as potential patients in a clinical study.

The Site does not offer e-commerce services: there is no sale of products or provision of services paid for directly by the User through the Site. SAGA does not charge fees or conduct transactions of any kind through the Site.

The information published is general and informational in nature and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. No communication made through the Site’s contact form, nor the content of the Site, replaces an evaluation by a healthcare professional or guarantees a person’s admission to a clinical study.

The Site has a contact form («Apply to a study») through which the User may express interest in being contacted about SAGA’s clinical studies, by providing their first name, last name, telephone number, email address, and a message. In addition, some pages dedicated to specific clinical studies include application forms that request contact details and health history relevant to assessing the feasibility of admission to a study, and the Site may include registration forms for seminars or other SAGA activities. What is stated in this section regarding the contact form also applies to those forms.

Submitting this form constitutes only an expression of interest and not a formal application or admission to a clinical study. The eligibility assessment, the selection process, and any eventual admission to a study are governed by the corresponding clinical protocol and by the informed consent process specific to that study, regulated by Law No. 20,120 and by the rules of the Institute of Public Health (ISP) and the applicable Scientific Ethics Committees (CEC), which are documents independent of and distinct from these Terms.

The User undertakes to provide truthful, up-to-date, and accurate information through the contact form, and acknowledges that the «message» field is free text, so any additional information about their health status that they voluntarily decide to include will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy (https://cecsaga.cl/politica-de-privacidad/).

The contact form may be used to express interest on behalf of a minor. This submission constitutes only a first contact; verification of the representation by the parent or legal guardian, as well as any additional consent process, takes place at later stages of the clinical process (evaluation and, where applicable, study screening), in accordance with the corresponding research protocol, and is not part of this Site.

The User agrees to use the Site in accordance with the law, morality, public order, and these Terms, and to refrain from:

• Using the Site for fraudulent or unlawful purposes or purposes that harm the rights of third parties.
• Introducing or spreading computer viruses or other elements that may damage the Site or SAGA’s systems.
• Attempting to access restricted areas of the Site or SAGA’s computer systems without authorization.
• Using the Site’s forms to send unsolicited, advertising, or «spam» communications.
• Impersonating a third party when providing their data in the Site’s forms.

The contents of the Site are protected as set out in the Legal Notice. Their use, reproduction, or exploitation without SAGA’s prior written authorization is prohibited.

SAGA will endeavor to keep the Site available and functioning properly, notwithstanding which it may temporarily suspend access for maintenance, updates, force majeure, or security reasons, without this giving rise to any right to compensation in favor of the User.

SAGA shall not be liable for damages or losses arising from: (i) improper use of the Site by the User; (ii) the inaccuracy of the information provided by the User in the contact forms; (iii) interruptions, computer viruses, or technical failures beyond SAGA’s control; or (iv) the content of third-party sites linked from the Site.

The processing of the personal data that the User provides through the Site is governed by the Privacy Policy and, with respect to the use of cookies and similar technologies, by the Cookie Policy, which are documents that form an integral part of these Terms.

SAGA may modify these Terms at any time in order to adapt them to legislative or technical changes or to changes in the operation of the Site. Changes will take effect upon their publication on this same page, so Users are advised to review its content periodically.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Chile. For any dispute arising from their interpretation or application, the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the ordinary courts of justice of the city of Santiago, Chile, without prejudice to consumer protection rules and other applicable public-order rules.

If you have any questions about these Terms, you may write to contacto@cecsaga.cl.
