It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms it means that you accept and agree to the changes.If you don’t agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore.

5. User Requirements for Use of the Services

You may use the Services only if you are 18years or older and capable of forming a binding contract with Mederva, and not otherwise barred from using the Services under applicable law.

6. Your Relationship with Mederva

Mederva is a technology company that makes available the Services, including Remote Care and Wellness Services. In connection with the Remote Care, Mederva provides certain technological and other administrative support for or is otherwise affiliated with professional practices, including Mederva Medical Corporation, a California professional corporation (collectively “Practices”),that employ or contract with Clinicians.

Mederva acts solely as a technology platform to provide you with products and services, including Wellness Services, offered through the Services, and also connects you with Practices and the Clinicians for Remote Care. We do not control or interfere with the practice of medicine or other licensed professional services by Practices or any Clinicians, each of whom is solely responsible for the medical care and treatment he or she provides to you. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that Mederva is not a healthcare provider and that by using the Services, you are not entering into a doctor-patient or other healthcare provider-patient relationship with Mederva. By obtaining Remote Care, you may, however, be entering into a doctor-patient or other healthcare provider-patient relationship with a Practice and/or one or moreClinicians.

By accepting the Terms, you understand that Practices and/or Clinicians may send you messages, reports, and emails via the Services regarding your care plan, diagnosis and/or treatment. You further understand and agree that it is your responsibility to monitor and respond to these messages, reports, and emails and that neither Mederva nor the Practices or any Clinician will be responsible in any way, and you will not hold Mederva, any Practice or any Clinician liable for any loss, injury, or claims of any kind resulting from your failure to read or respond to these messages or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations or instructions from the Practice or your Clinician(s).

While you are not establishing a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with Mederva, by using the Services, you are establishing a direct customer relationship with Mederva to use the products and services made available through the Services. In connection with such relationship, you may provide to us, or cause to be provided to us on your behalf, personal information, including health information, that is subject to use by us in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

7. Disclosures Regarding Content and Remote Care

The contents of the Site are provided for informational purposes only. Any advice or information provided through the content on the Site does not create a provider-patient relationship, is not an aid to making medical decisions, and is not marketed, promoted or otherwise intended to be used to diagnose any disease or other condition, or to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent any disease. The content of the Site is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding your health. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the Site or because of information provided through the Services. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT PROVIDED ON THE SITE BY MEDERVA, OTHERS APPEARING ON THE SITE AT THE INVITATION OF MEDERVA, OR OTHER USERS OF THE SITE IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Some of the content on the Services may be generated through Mederva’s or its third-party licensors’ algorithms or artificial intelligence tools used in connection with providing the Services. The Services may generate chatbot responses (each, “Output”) in response to: (i) your interaction or chat; and (ii) User Content (defined below) uploaded to influence the behavior or Output of the automated chatbot (collectively, “Input”). Due to the nature of machine learning, Output may not be unique and the Services may generate the same or similar output for Mederva or a third party. GIVEN THE PROBABILISTIC NATURE OF MACHINE LEARNING, THE SERVICES MAY IN SOME SITUATIONS PRODUCE OUTPUT THAT IS INACCURATE, INCORRECT, OFFENSIVE OR OTHERWISE UNDESIRABLE. THE ACCURACY, QUALITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW OF THE OUTPUT IS DEPENDENT UPON AND COMMENSURATE WITH THAT OF THE INPUT PROVIDED AND YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THESE TERMS, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE SET OUT HEREIN, MEDERVA WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM INPUT, OUTPUT OR THEIR USE.
The Remote Care you receive from Clinicians through the Site should not be used as a replacement for professional guidance from your primary care provider or any other health care providers, and such Remote Care may not necessarily give rise to a provider-patient relationship or an ongoing treatment relationship. You are expected to seek follow-up or emergency care as needed or recommended by a Clinician, and you should continue to consult with your primary care provider and/or any other health care providers as needed or recommended. Additionally, unexpected events may disrupt our electronic communication with you and we may not be able to contact you as quickly as we would like to due to uncontrollable circumstances. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. Moreover, please be aware that the Clinicians tailor their response to your specific situation, taking into account the information you have shared, and their response may not be appropriate for other similarly situated patients. The Clinicians who provide the Remote Care may make recommendations and/or arrangements for follow-up care, as appropriate, and you are welcome to access our Services for these follow-up visits. While the Services are intended to provide benefits such as convenient on-demand virtual access to Clinicians and the Services they provide, there do exist potential risks associated with the use of the Services, which are outlined in the Informed Consent to Treatment, which will be provided to you separately as part of the onboarding process.
All Clinicians performing Remote Care through the Site hold applicable licenses or certifications to provide clinical services as authorized by the applicable professional licensing or certification board in the state where patients receive the Remote Care. Some performing Remote Care through the Site hold other or higher professional licenses that were issued by a professional licensing board in the state in which they practice. You acknowledge that the Clinicians that render clinical care to you through the Service may be engaged directly by Mederva Medical Corporation or by other professional practices and other medical care organizations that are affiliated with Mederva, and in connection with such affiliation, Mederva, Mederva Medical Corporation and/or such medical group may have a financial interest in each other. Any information or advice received from a Clinician comes from the Clinician, and Mederva is not responsible for the quality and appropriateness of any care that the Clinician renders to you. While Mederva may facilitate your selection of and communications with the Clinician, it is the Clinician providing the clinical services or medical advice, and any provider-patient relationship is only between you and the applicable Clinician, and not with Mederva. You can report a complaint relating to any Services provided by a Clinician by contacting the professional licensing board in the state where you received the Remote Care, or by contacting Mederva directly. In a professional relationship, sexual intimacy is never appropriate and should be reported to the professional licensing board that licenses, registers or certifies the licensee. Any clinical records created as a result of your use of the Site and the Remote Care will be securely maintained by Mederva, Mederva Medical Corporation and/or their service providers on behalf of the Clinician with whom you consult, for a period that is no less than the minimum number of years that such records are required to be maintained under applicable state and federal law.
Mederva can facilitate Remote Care between Clinicians and Patients. The terms “virtual care” or “telehealth” or “telemedicine” generally refer to healthcare services that are provided to a patient in one location by a professional in a distant location facilitated through the use of some form of telecommunications technology, such as synchronous, interactive audio-video interfaces and/or asynchronous store-and-forward modalities. Telehealth technologies may also involve the electronic transmission of your medical records, images, personal health information, or other data between you and a health care provider. The information exchanged between the Clinicians and you may be used for diagnosis, therapy, treatment, follow-up care, consultation, education, care management and/or self-management of your health care.
As with any type of health care services, there are potential risks associated with the use of virtual care services, including the Remote Care provided through the Site:

Information available to the Clinicians may not be sufficient to make a correct diagnosis or other professional decisions. For example, there could be limitations in the information transmitted to the Clinician and access to your complete medical records, which could lead to incorrect assessments or other adverse reactions. Also, information that can be obtained only by in-person, physical examination or by being physically present with the patient will not be available. In some cases, the Clinician may conclude that the information transmitted is not sufficient (e.g., poor resolution of images) or on some other basis the nature of your issue is such that it does not allow for the Services to be provided appropriately by the Clinician without an in-person evaluation.
Telehealth and virtual care relies on electronic communications and devices. Any technical failure or power outage could therefore delay or disrupt such communications and hinder, delay or erase Mederva’s and its Clinicians’ ability to assist you.These limitations could result in incorrect assessment or diagnosis, which in turn could lead to care that is not helpful, or that could be harmful or cause other problems. Clinicians performing Remote Care through the Site are aware of these limitations and take them into account in making professional decisions within the scope of their practice, but the risk of error nevertheless exists.
Although the electronic systems we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, those protocols could fail, and there could be a breach of privacy of your health information. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we take commercially reasonable steps designed to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to, or through, our Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures employed by the Services. Please see our Privacy Notice.
In some cases, applicable laws may prevent Clinicians from providing the Services you desire through the Site. When that is the case, the Clinician will refer you to an appropriate provider who can provide the services you desire.
Since telehealth and other forms of virtual care remain relatively new approaches to care, risks not yet identified, possibly significant, could also exist.
You are under no obligation to obtain virtual care. You may obtain care through conventional, in-person services instead of or in addition to these Services. Please feel free to provide feedback to Mederva at support@medervahealth.com should you become concerned that our virtual care maybe insufficient for your needs.

8. Limited Use and Availability for Remote Care

Remote Care is currently only available to individuals who are located in California, Texas, Michigan, and Florida, and in order to obtain Remote Care, you must be located in such state. Remote Care may be subject to state regulations and may change from time to time due to changes in applicable regulatory requirements.

In some cases, Remote Care may not be the most appropriate way for you to provide information to, communicate with or seek medical care and treatment from a healthcare provider.For example, certain medical conditions may require an in-person procedure or a healthcare provider other than your Clinician, or your Clinician may determine that your diagnosis and/or treatment require an in-person office visit or are otherwise not appropriately addressed through use of Remote Care. In such a case, you may receive notification that you will be unable to use Remote Care for the particular issue you submitted and may be provided with additional information regarding next steps.

9. Feedback

We appreciate feedback, comments, testimonials, ideas, proposals and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). If you choose to submit Feedback, you agree that we are free to use it without any restriction or compensation to you. Mederva will not publish your name or other identifying information in connection with any testimonial unless you have given us your prior approval. Mederva may republish any publicly available review, comment, or testimonial about Mederva or the Services on the Site or in other media.

10. Payment

Fees. The Services are provided generally under two payment structures:

Benefits through Insurance. For Remote Care, the Practices will be in-network with many large health plans and enrolled in Medicare. If you have health insurance or enrolled in Medicare, it will usually provide some coverage for your Remote Care and other clinical care services recommended by Clinicians, if applicable, although you will be responsible for any required co-payment or co-insurance amount, which shall be charged to you at the time of service, if applicable. By using the Services, you are agreeing to the following:
1. Assigning those benefit, where applicable, to the applicable Practice to pay for care provided.
2. Signing any additional forms required by any health insurance plan or company (each a “Payor”) to confirm the assignment of benefits.
3. Authorizing Mederva or Practice, as applicable, to release all relevant information about your health care necessary to receive payment from the applicable Payor and signing an authorizing permitting such release to the extent requested by Mederva or a Practice.
4. You will be responsible for making any co-payment or co-insurance, as well as being responsible for any payment for services that your Payor does not cover.
5. You have the right to revoke your authorization any time to Mederva or a Practice to release information about your health to any Payor. We ask that you submit the revocation request via email to support@mederva.com. The revocation will be effective upon receipt of your email.
Self-Pay Services. We intend to meet each Patient or user where they are in their care journey and work diligently to provide access if you donot have health insurance or do not want to use your health insurance, or theServices you choose is not covered by your insurance or you choose to obtainWellness Services as a subscription. With this payment structure, we will work with you to define the fees that make sense to ensure adequate Services are provided, for which you may be need to make payment on a fee-for-service basis or subscription basis for Wellness Services.
Payments. Whether you make a payment and/or purchase a subscription for the Wellness Services (“Subscription”) (each a “Transaction”), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for such Transaction. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “PaymentInformation”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your payment and to charge your payment method for the Transaction (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before initiating a Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information). You agree to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges as communicated to you at the time of Service. All Transaction payments are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in theseTerms. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars.

Your endorsement and agreement of this Terms constitutes your understanding thatMederva uses a credit card processing company to process payments. Collection of your credit card or other payment information and the processing of payment of fees will be performed by third party payment processors (the “Payment Processors”). Mederva currently uses Stripe as its PaymentProcessor, but reserves the right to change Payment Processors. You will tender payment to the applicablePayment Processor. Fees will be processed by the applicable Payment Processor. You are bound by the applicable Payment Processor’s terms and conditions for the processing of payments, as the same may be modified by such Payment Processor from time to time (collectively, the “Payment Processor Terms”). Information provided to any Payment Processor is governed by the applicable PaymentProcessor Terms. We are not responsible for the performance of any PaymentProcessor. You represent and warrant toMederva that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You agree to payMederva the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.S.taxes based on our net income. If your payment fails, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to theServices. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees, we may revoke your access to our Services in general. If you dispute any charges you must let Mederva or the Practice know within thirty (30) days after the date that Mederva charges you. You understand that your credit card information will be saved on file for future transactions on your account.
Subscription. If you purchase a Subscription, you will be charged the monthly Subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes, and other charges (“SubscriptionFee”), at the beginning of yourSubscription and each month thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION, YOU AUTHORIZE MEDERVA TO INITIATE RECURRING NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENTS AS SET FORTH BELOW. If you purchase a Subscription, we(or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each month, using the Payment Information you have provided until you cancel yourSubscription. No less than thirty (30) days before your Subscription term ends, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law, Mederva will send you a reminder with the then-current Subscription Fee. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Subscription by you or Mederva. Your Subscription continues until cancelled by you or we terminate your access to or use of the Services or Subscription in accordance with these Terms.
Cancelling Subscription. You may cancel aSubscription for a full refund within ten (10) calendar days of your initial purchase. AFTER THAT, YOUR PURCHASE IS FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF YOUR ONE-TIME PAYMENT OR SUBSCRIPTION FEE AT ANY TIME. But if something unexpected happens in the course of purchasing a Subscription, we reserve the right to cancel your Subscription for any reason; if we cancel yourSubscription, we’ll refund any payment you have already remitted to us for suchSubscription. Without limiting the foregoing, you may cancel your Subscription at any time, but please note that such cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO YOUR INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION PURCHASE, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OFANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAID FOR THE THEN CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE TIME OF CANCELLATION. To cancel, you can send an email to support@medervahealth.com.

As limited exceptions to Section 18(a) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.
Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.

Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 18(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND MEDERVA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 18(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
