Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue to be charged for your subscription during any period of suspension. If you or MeMD® initiates termination of this Use Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees section above. You agree that MeMD® may bill you for such unpaid fees or charges, unless another party (e.g., your employer or health plan) has contractually agreed with MeMD® to pay on your behalf. MeMD® reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event your account is suspended and thereafter you request access to the MeMD® Service.

TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

YOU HEREBY RELEASE MeMD® AND ITS LICENSORS FROM ALL CLAIMS WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE MeMD® SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE MeMD® SERVICE, OR THE NEGLIGENCE OF MeMD® OR ITS LICENSORS, BUT THIS PROVISION EXPRESSLY DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT.

 

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS CLAUSE, YOU ARE RELEASING CLAIMS AND GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN CERTAIN INSTANCES.

DISCLAIMERS – HEALTHCARE SERVICES

The MeMD® Service does not provide health care services; the MeMD® Service simply provides a system to facilitate communication with the Providers using MeMD’s® owned or licensed health information database and software. MeMD® verifies the state and national (NPI, DEA) licensing status for all MeMD®-contracted Providers; however, it is your obligation to verify the state and national (NPI, DEA) licensing status for all Providers who are not contracted by MeMD®. Such Providers may include, but are not limited to, Providers whose services are offered to you as part of a subscription or bundled services package by your employer, health plan, physician, or on the MeMD® website or hosted portal.

 

MeMD® SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY PROVIDER PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE OR ADVICE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PRESCRIBING MEDICATIONS) THROUGH THE MeMD® SERVICE.

 

MeMD® FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY FOR A REFUND) FOR THE FAILURE OF A NON-CONTRACTED PROVIDER TO RENDER CARE TO YOU OR OTHERWISE FULFILL THE TERMS OF SERVICE OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR BUNDLED SERVICES PACKAGE. A NON-CONTRACTED PROVIDER IS A PROVIDER NOT DIRECTLY CREDENTIALED AND CONTRACTED BY MeMD® BUT WHOSE SERVICES MAY BE OFFERED TO YOU AS PART OF A SUBSCRIPTION OR BUNDLED SERVICES PACKAGE BY YOUR EMPLOYER, HEALTH PLAN, PHYSICIAN, OR ON THE MeMD® WEBSITE OR HOSTED PORTAL. MeMD® IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING YOU ADDITIONAL SERVICES PURCHASED VIA A SUBSCRIPTION OR BUNDLED SERVICES PACKAGE.

 

The MeMD® Service is not a replacement for your primary care physician or annual office check-ups, nor is it a replacement for other treating providers (except in the context of mental and behavioral health services or in the Virtual Primary Care service line where the Provider has explicitly agreed to assume such role). Consultations through the MeMD® Service treat the majority of common medical and behavioral health conditions, however a small number of cases require an in-person visit for complete care. With respect to psychotherapy and counseling, you understand that information discussed in any sessions is for therapeutic purposes only and is not intended for use in any legal proceedings involving any other individuals participating in any sessions. You agree not to subpoena any Provider to testify for or against individuals (including you) participating in the sessions or to provide records in court actions against other individuals participating in any sessions. You understand that anything any individual participating in any session tells a Provider individually, whether on the phone or otherwise, may at the Provider’s discretion be shared with any other individual participating in the sessions.

 

The MeMD® Service is not an online pharmacy, nor is it a Medicare prescription drug plan. Providers using the MeMD® Service do not, via the MeMD® Service, prescribe elective medications (except through the Men’s Health and Women’s Health service lines or the Virtual Primary Care service line when deemed by the Provider to be medically necessary), anticonvulsants (except through the Virtual Primary Care service line when deemed by the Provider to be medically necessary), narcotic pain relievers, or drugs listed as controlled substances by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency or regulated under state law. Review the DEA Controlled Substances Schedule (http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/schedules/index.html) if you are interested in a particular prescription and are uncertain if it is listed as a controlled substance. MeMD® does not guarantee that a specific medication will be prescribed by a Provider if requested, particularly where prescribing of the medication is in violation of MeMD’s® Treatment Policies or not medically appropriate, as determined by the Provider in the Provider’s sole discretion. Our behavioral health Providers will not prescribe you medication until conducting a mental health assessment (also sometimes called an intake or initial assessment) of you. You will not be prescribed more than a 90-day supply of medication at one time by a behavioral health Provider, and may not receive a refill of the medication unless you first complete a medication management visit with the behavioral health Provider. Our Providers in the Urgent Care service line generally do not prescribe more than a 90-day refill within a 6-month period; however, our Providers within the Men’s Health and Women’s Health service lines may be able to prescribe you up to a 1-year supply of medically necessary maintenance medications if you can supply adequate proof of your most recent wellness or physical exam completed within the immediately preceding year. Our Providers in the Virtual Primary Care service line may be able to prescribe you up to a 1-year supply of medically necessary maintenance medications as long as you are compliant with their recommended treatment plan. You agree that any prescription obtained from a Provider in connection with your use of the MeMD® Service will only be for its intended use. Refunds for completed visits are not provided solely on the basis of Providers not prescribing a medication.

 

The MeMD® Service does not meet the minimum essential coverage (MEC) requirements imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or any minimum creditable coverage (MCC) requirements imposed by any state laws. The MeMD® Service is not a Qualified Health Plan under the PPACA.

 

The MeMD® Service is not insurance and is not intended to replace health insurance; it is a telemedicine service available on a per-visit or membership basis. The offering of products and services by MeMD® is not to be construed as the sale of insurance product(s) or otherwise engaging in the transaction of insurance. MeMD® expressly reserves the right, in order to comply with state insurance laws, to (i) limit the number of visits offered in connection with any bundled services and subscription packages and/or (ii) charge a visit fee, both in an amount determined by MeMD® in its sole discretion.

 

You authorize MeMD® to use and publish any comments you choose to share about the MeMD® Service, such as comments shared in the MeMD® Patient Satisfaction Survey and/or via third-party service providers contracted for such purposes, unless specified otherwise. MeMD® will only publish the comments with your first name and the state of requested service.

 

MeMD® does not warrant or validate any information provided by a third party (including, but not limited to, your employer, health plan, or the Providers) even if the information is about the MeMD® Service, whether through advertisements, promotions, communications, or other materials, and does not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy of such information.

 

MeMD® has the right to refuse access to the MeMD® Service to any person, agency, or organization, at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all.

INTERNET DELAYS

THE MeMD® SERVICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS, DELAYS, AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. MeMD® IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, OR OTHER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS.

THIS PROVISION EXPRESSLY DOES NOT INCLUDE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT.  

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS CLAUSE, YOU ARE RELEASING CLAIMS AND GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN CERTAIN INSTANCES.

LOCAL LAWS AND EXPORT CONTROL

This site provides services and uses software and technology that may be subject to United States export controls administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, and other U.S. agencies and the export control regulations of the United States. The user of this site (“User”) acknowledges and agrees that the site shall not be used, and none of the underlying information, software, or technology may be transferred or otherwise exported or re-exported to countries as to which the United States maintains an embargo (collectively, “Embargoed Countries”), or to or by a national or resident thereof, or any person or entity on the U.S. Department of Treasury’s List of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Table of Denial Orders (collectively, “Designated Nationals”). The lists of Embargoed Countries and Designated Nationals are subject to change without notice. By using the MeMD® Service, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of an Embargoed Country or Designated National. You agree to comply strictly with all U.S. export laws and assume sole responsibility for obtaining licenses to export or re-export as may be required.

 

MeMD® and its licensors make no representation that the MeMD® Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you use the MeMD® Service from outside the United States of America, you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation export and import regulations of other countries. Any diversion of the content of the MeMD® Service contrary to United States law is prohibited. None of the content of the MeMD® Service, nor any information acquired through the use of the MeMD® Service, is or will be used for nuclear activities, chemical or biological weapons, or missile projects, unless specifically authorized by the United States government or appropriate European body for such purposes.

NOTICE

Except as this Use Agreement specifically provides otherwise, you must provide MeMD® notice by calling or writing MeMD® at its registered address. MeMD® may provide you notice through one or more of the following: correspondence through general notice on the MeMD® Service, to your last known address, to any fax number or e-mail address you have provided MeMD®, by calling you on any phone number you have provided MeMD®, by voice message on any phone number you have provided MeMD®, or by text message to any phone number you have provided MeMD® that accepts text messages.

CONTACTING YOU REGARDING BILLING AND COLLECTIONS

You expressly authorize, and specifically consent to allowing, MeMD® and any of MeMD’s® agents to contact you in connection with any and all matters relating to unpaid past due fees or charges you may owe MeMD®. You agree that, for attempts to collect unpaid past due fees or charges, MeMD® and any of its agents may contact you at any mailing address, telephone number, cellular phone number, email address, or any other electronic address that you have provided, or may in the future provide, to MeMD®. You agree and acknowledge that any e-mail address or any other electronic address that you provide to MeMD® is your private address and is not accessible to unauthorized third parties. For attempts to collect unpaid fees or charges, you agree that in addition to individual persons attempting to communicate directly with you, any type of contact described above may be made using, among other methods, pre-recorded or artificial voice messages delivered by an automatic telephone dialing system, pre-set e-mail messages delivered by an automatic e-mailing system, or any other pre-set electronic messages delivered by any other automatic electronic messaging system.

ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE IN CONTROL

This Use Agreement may not be assigned by you without the prior written approval of MeMD® but may be assigned without your consent by MeMD® to (i) a parent or subsidiary, (ii) an acquirer of assets or stock, or (iii) a successor by merger. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

 

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY; IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS

In those rare instances where your concern is not resolved to your satisfaction through calls to our customer care, you and MeMD® each agree to try to resolve those disputes in good faith after you provide written notice of the dispute as set forth below. If the dispute is not resolved, you and MeMD® agree that the dispute will be resolved through individual binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of courts of general jurisdiction.

 

Mandatory Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action. Instead of suing in court, you and MeMD® agree to arbitrate all Disputes (as defined below) on an individual, non-representative, basis. You agree that, by accepting the terms and conditions of this Use Agreement, you and MeMD® are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative action. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.

 

In arbitration, there is no judge or jury. Disputes are instead decided by a neutral third-party arbitrator in a more informal process than in court. In arbitration, there is limited discovery and the arbitrator’s decision is subject to limited review by courts. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms and conditions of the Use Agreement and can award damages and relief, including any attorneys’ fees authorized by law.

 

“Disputes” shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way the MeMD® Service or this Use Agreement, including, but not limited to, billing services and practices, policies, contract practices (including enforceability), service claims, privacy, or advertising, even if the claim arises after use of or access or subscription to the MeMD® Service has terminated. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you or an authorized or unauthorized user of the MeMD® Service brings against MeMD® (including the MeMD® Service), its subsidiaries, affiliates, parent companies, employees, subcontractors, agents, vendors, suppliers, or licensors; (b) you bring against a third party, such as a Provider, that are based on, relate to, or arise out of in any way the use of or access or subscription to the MeMD® Service or this Use Agreement; or (c) MeMD® brings against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and MeMD®, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before this Use Agreement or out of a prior Use Agreement with MeMD®; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not a party or class member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of your use of or access or subscription to the MeMD® Service or this Use Agreement.

DISPUTE NOTICE AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PERIOD.

Before initiating an arbitration or a small claims matter, you and MeMD® each agree to first provide to the other a written notice (“Notice of Dispute”), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute to MeMD® should be sent to MeMD’s® registered address and also to (if the registered address is different): MeMD, Inc., 6910 East Chauncey Lane, Suite 220, Phoenix, AZ 85054, Attn: Officers. MeMD® will provide a Notice of Dispute to you at your last known physical address or email address. MeMD® will assign a representative to work with you and try to resolve your Dispute to your satisfaction. You and MeMD® agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration or small claims action. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you or MeMD® may commence an arbitration proceeding or small claims action.

ARBITRATION TERMS, PROCESS, RULES, AND PROCEDURES.

(1) Unless you and MeMD® agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and will take place in Maricopa County, Arizona (or such other location to which MeMD® agrees). The arbitration will be governed by either: (a) rules that we mutually agree upon; or (b) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules about filing, administration, discovery, and arbitrator’s fees. The JAMS Rules are available on its website at jamsadr.com.  Notwithstanding any JAMS Rule to the contrary or any other provision in the arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern the arbitration, we each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide, except that only a court (and not the arbitrator) shall decide any disagreements regarding the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.

 

(2) The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) applies to your use of or access or subscription to the MeMD® Service and this Use Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree that the FAA’s provisions - not state law - govern all questions of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply. However, nothing in this paragraph will require or allow you or MeMD® to arbitrate on a class-wide, representative, or consolidated basis.

 

(3) The arbitrator 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. YOU AND MeMD® AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and MeMD® expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If any portion of this provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

 

(4) We each are responsible for our respective costs, including our respective attorneys, experts, and witnesses, unless this Use Agreement or applicable law otherwise permits the award of such to MeMD®. We each will pay equally for any filing or case management fees associated with the arbitration and professional fees for the arbitrator’s services.

 

(5) An arbitrator’s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

 

(6) As an alternative to arbitration, we may resolve Disputes in small claims court in Maricopa County, Arizona (or such other location to which MeMD® agrees).

NO TRIAL BY JURY AND NO CLASS ACTION

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS OR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE MeMD® SERVICE OR THIS USE AGREEMENT IN ANY WAY PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM IS AN ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDING, WE EACH AGREE THAT TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL OR CLASS ACTION AND WE EACH UNCONDITIONALLY (1) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND (2) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS, INCLUDING JOINING A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERTING A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING.
