If you do not agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement, please do not use or access the Resources, and please exit the USMLE-Rx Website immediately.
You must read, agree with, and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement before you may become a subscriber to and user of the Resources.
We may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our Website www.usmle-rx.com (the "Website"). Except as stated below, all amended terms shall be effective immediately upon posting on our Website.
In this Agreement, "you" or "your" will refer to any person or entity subscribing to and/or using the Resources pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement (each one a "User" and collectively "Users"). Unless otherwise stated, "USMLE-Rx," "we," or "our" will each refer to MedIQ Learning, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company.
READ THE FOLLOWING USE, CONDITIONS, AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING AND/OR USING THE USMLE-Rx WEBSITE.
License: In consideration of and subject to your payment of the appropriate subscription fee for the Resources you subscribe to, and your agreement to and compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, USMLE-Rx grants to you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use and access the content posted at the Website (the "Licensed Materials") according to the Terms and Conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Term: The term of this Agreement and the license granted in this Agreement shall be concurrent with the term of your subscription to the Website ("Term") and may be terminated earlier than the expiration of your subscription as provided below.
Access: You may access the Website during the Term from multiple places, locations, and computers, but you are not allowed to access the Licensed Materials from more than one place, location, or computer at the same time.
System-Browser Requirements: This site is optimized for computer systems with a minimum of Windows XP with SP 3 or Mac OS 10.4; browsers including Safari 11+, Edge, Firefox, and Chrome; a monitor with a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels; and a broadband Internet connection. Older computer systems may see slower performance. We currently do not support other computers, operating systems, and browsers such as Linux and Opera. Accessing the Licensed Materials by disabling scripting Internet options is a violation of the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement. When you are reviewing Licensed Materials at the Website, you will not be able to do any copy-paste operation on your computer. User understands and acknowledges that the disabling of these functions is a material infringement of the Terms and Conditions.
Access to Licensed Materials: You shall be allowed to use the Licensed Materials for the specific product(s) to which you have subscribed. Each product has its own subscription fees and duration. You are not allowed to access the content of products that you have not subscribed to. Subscribing to one product (like Step 1 Qmax) does not mean that you will have access to all products (like Step 1 Express.).
Refunds: USMLE-Rx will refund your full subscription if a written request is made to USMLE-Rx within the first 5 (five) days of a subscription. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the sole discretion of USMLE-Rx, no refunds or cancellations or changes to subscriptions will be allowed beyond the initial 5 days.
Renewals: From time to time we offer special pricing for new and renewal subscriptions. Any special pricing for renewals applies only to active subscriptions. If you do not have an active subscription for a product, then a special renewal rate does not apply to it.
Pass the Boards Guarantee: If you fail the USMLE while using the corresponding USMLE-Rx product, you may be eligible to receive a subscription extension for the product you purchased equal in length to your current USMLE-Rx subscription. To be eligible, you must (1) contact us at info@usmle-rx.com to make the request, (2) have an active, paid subscription of that product within 7 (seven) days of your USMLE test date, (3) provide us a copy of the failing score and the first NBME scheduling permit, and (4) provide us a copy of the second NBME scheduling permit for your next USMLE examination. Once we verify this information, you will receive a subscription extension to the same USMLE-Rx product equal in length to your current USMLE-Rx subscription. You may choose to take this extension in the form of an extension to your existing subscription (thus you will maintain your test histories), or as a new subscription. Limit one extension per paid subscription. Offer does not apply to gift or scholarship accounts. Offer void if you did not complete the USMLE examination.
Member Account/Password and Security: You must complete USMLE-Rx's registration process in order to subscribe to and use the Resources by providing us with current, complete, and accurate information as prompted by the registration form.

This License authorizes us to make your Brick Content available on the Services to the rest of the world and to let others do the same. You agree that this license further includes the right for ScholarRx to provide, promote, and, improve the Services and to make Brick Content available to other entities or individuals for broadcast, distribution, promotion, or publication of such Brick Content on other media and services, subject to our terms and conditions for such Brick Content use. Such authorization of additional uses by ScholarRx or other companies, organizations or individuals is made with no compensation paid to you with respect to the Brick Content that you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Services as your use of the Services is hereby agreed to be sufficient compensation for the grants of rights herein.
With regard to any Brick Content that you contribute to the Rx Brick Exchange via the Bricks Create tool or by any other means, you represent and warrant that you have the full legal right to post the Brick Content and that use of the Brick Content by us and all other persons and entities as permitted by this License will not (i) infringe any trademark, copyright, patent, privacy, moral or publicity rights of any person or entity; (ii) violate any law, statute, ordinance, regulation or agreement; or (iii) disclose any confidential or private information of any third party. You will indicate, using one or more designated fields or other technique for prominent association with the Brick Content, if any restrictions apply to the Brick Content due to any right of or any license from a third party. We will engage in reasonable efforts to convey such restrictions alongside the Brick Content in any editing interface, though we will have no responsibility to enforce such restrictions. If you are authoring or contributing Brick Content to the Rx Brick Exchange using Bricks Create, you may select an approved license applicable to your Brick Content at the time of publication, either via Bricks Create or our Brick Management portal.
The Rx Brick Exchange is a platform for open educational resources. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that no license terms apply to any Brick Content you contribute to the Rx Brick Exchange that are incompatible with the License granted in these Terms nor with the License you offer for the Brick Content via Rx Brick Exchange, whether at the time you publish the Brick Content or thereafter.
If you contribute any metadata—such as author name, title of work, and the like—in connection with contributing Brick Content to the Rx Brick Exchange or otherwise, you grant to ScholarRx a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, perform, create derivative works of, transfer, distribute and make any other use in any form or medium of such metadata, all without restriction of any kind, and all with the right to sublicense others to do any of the foregoing, again with the corresponding right to further sublicense. You represent and warrant that you have the full legal right to contribute the metadata submitted through the Services, that it is accurate and complete, and that use of that metadata by us and all other persons and entities as set forth in this License will not (i) infringe any trademark, copyright, patent, privacy, moral, or publicity rights of any person or entity; (ii) violate any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or agreement; or (iii) disclose any confidential or private information of any third party.
Indemnification. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you (the “Indemnifying Party”) hereby agree to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless any ScholarRx parent, affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, members, agents, customers and employees and us (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, damages, losses or expenses, of any nature whatsoever, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, (“Damages”) arising directly or indirectly from or out of (i) any breach by the Indemnifying Party of any of its representations and warranties hereunder or the Indemnifying Party’s negligence or willful misconduct, except to the extent attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party; or (ii) the infringement of any intellectual property right of any third party resulting from or in connection with the display or use of the Indemnifying Party’s intellectual property by the Indemnified Party in a manner consistent with these Terms. Each Indemnified Party shall be a third-party beneficiary of this section, and this section shall survive the termination of these Terms. Any Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any claim; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Party except to the extent it is prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any claim.
Display of Licenses. ScholarRx endeavors to provide information about the source(s), copyright status and licensing of the materials in the Rx Brick Exchange and to identify any other terms and conditions that may apply to your use of such materials. However, ScholarRx offers no guarantee or assurance that all pertinent information is provided or that the information provided is correct in each circumstance. In all cases, it is solely your responsibility to determine what permission(s) you may need in order to use materials available from the Rx Brick Exchange Platform and to obtain all such permission(s).
User Content. Certain features of the ScholarRx Platform may allow you to contribute content that is not itself either Brick Content or metadata, for example, in the form of ratings, feedback or other content for access, use and viewing by us and/or by other users of the Rx Brick Exchange (“User Content”). When you post User Content, you represent and warrant that you have the full legal right to post the User Content and that use of the User Content by us and all other persons and entities will not (i) infringe the trademark, copyright, patent, privacy or publicity rights of any person or entity; (ii) violate any law, statute, ordinance, regulation or agreement; (iii) disclose any confidential or private information of any third party; (iv) transmit any advertising or promotional material including any “spam” or similar solicitation; or (v) engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone’s use or enjoyment of the Services or other ScholarRx services, or that may harm ScholarRx or other Users or expose ScholarRx and Users to liability, to be determined in our sole discretion. Upon your submission of User Content, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free, irrevocable license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, distribute, publish, transmit, display, perform, create derivative works of, transfer, distribute and make any other use in any form or medium of the User Content for the purposes of providing and promoting the Rx Brick Exchange Platform. For clarity, Brick Content and metadata are not considered User Content.
Removal and Unavailability of User Content or Educational Material. We make User Content and Brick Content (including its metadata) available at our sole discretion and may disable access to any User Content or Brick Content at any time and for any reason. By using the Rx Bricks Platform, you acknowledge and agree that we do not guarantee access to and/or hosting of User Content or Brick Content that is published through the Rx Brick Exchange. For example, if Brick Content violates these Terms, access to it may be disabled. If Rx Brick Exchange experiences any planned or unplanned outage or cessation of the Services, we will not be liable to any party for any losses of any kind.
If you believe that a user of the Rx Bricks Platform has violated your intellectual property rights—for example, by improperly using your trademarks or posting copyrighted content to the Rx Bricks Platform—please contact us. You can report infringement at info@scholarrx.com.
If we receive notice that User Content or Brick Content posted to or through the Rx Bricks Platform may infringe the rights of third parties, including their intellectual property rights, we reserve the right (in our sole discretion) to disclose information, including personally identifiable information, about the User posting such material to those third parties so they can contact the poster directly regarding their concerns.
DMCA. ScholarRx provides the Rx Bricks Platform as a modular digital library of open educational bricks. ScholarRx also complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and has designated an agent to receive notices regarding intellectual property infringement. If you believe a user of the Rx Bricks Platform has infringed your intellectual property rights, we encourage you to contact us using the following procedure.
Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement. ScholarRx will investigate notices of copyright infringement and take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2) ("DMCA"). Pursuant to DMCA, written notification of claimed copyright infringement (“Notification”) must be submitted to the following Designated Agent for this site:
Scholar Rx, LLC
c/o: Jonathan Kirsch
Law Offices of Jonathan Kirsch, 1880 Century Park East, Suite 515, Los Angeles, CA 90067
Email Address of Designated Agent: jk@jonathankirsch.com
To be effective, the Notification must include the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single Notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
- Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate such allegedly infringing material;
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
- A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the Notification is accurate, and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner whose right is allegedly infringed.
Once Proper Infringement Notification is Received by the Designated Agent. It is ScholarRx’s policy:
- to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content;
- to notify the User whose content has been removed or disabled; and
- that repeat offenders will have their allegedly infringing Content removed from the Rx Bricks Platform and that ScholarRx will terminate such repeat offenders’ access to the Service.
Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent. If the User whose content has been removed or disabled believes that the content is not infringing, or the User believes that he or she has the right to post and use such content from the rights owner, the owner's agent, or pursuant to the law (including as a fair use), the User must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent identified herein:
- Identification of the content that has been removed or disabled, including a description of where the material in question appeared on the Rx Bricks Platform before it was removed or disabled (e.g., a precise URL);
- A statement by the User, made under penalty of perjury, that the User has a good faith belief that the content was removed or blocked as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the content in question;
- The User’s contact information, including full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- A statement by the User that the User consents to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which the User’s address is located or, if the User’s address is outside of the USA, for the judicial district in which ScholarRx is located, and that the User will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement; and
- The User’s electronic or physical signature.
Please note that any information provided in connection with a counter-notice will be forwarded to the original complaining party, so that they may contact you directly to discuss their concerns.
If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, ScholarRx will send a full and complete copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party, along with a notice informing them that ScholarRx may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the rights owner files an action seeking a court order against the User, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly misrepresents that content or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including attorney's fees.
Requests sent via email will typically be processed most expeditiously.
