  • you have fully read and understood these Terms of Use 

  • these Terms of Use are in addition to any other agreement that you have entered into or may enter into with a Provider regarding a treatment relationship; 

  • agreeing to these Terms of Use or using the MeMD Service does not guarantee your eligibility to receive treatment from a Provider and does not obligate any Provider to provide any service to you. General guidelines about eligibility for medical treatment may be provided through the MeMD Service, but Providers reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to determine whether and to what extent you are eligible to receive any services offered by such Provider. If, in the discretion of a Provider, you are ineligible to receive treatment, the Provider may (but has no obligation to) refer you to a different healthcare provider

'3'. CONDITIONS FOR USE 

As a condition to using or accessing the MeMD Service, you represent and warrant that: 

  • you have the legal power and authority to agree to these Terms of Use, you are at least 15 years of age or you are accompanied by a parent or guardian who can give informed consent on your behalf, and have neither falsely identified yourself nor provided any false information to gain access to the MeMD Service; 

  • you: (i) are the patient, meaning you are the person receiving the healthcare services obtained or accessed through the MeMD Service (“Patient”), or (ii) are the Patient’s legal representative. 

  • if you are not the Patient

    • you have all necessary consents and permissions required by law to (x) view any Patient information that you may access using the MeMD Service, and (y) undertake any necessary actions with respect to the Patient using the MeMD Service; and 

    • you will maintain the confidentiality and privacy of any information that you view or access in any manner through the MeMD Service on behalf of such Patient; and 

  • you are physically located in the state in which you are requesting the MeMD Service. 

 

Additionally, you agree to: 

 

  • abide by all applicable local, state, national, and foreign laws, treaties, and regulations in connection with your use of the MeMD Service, including those related to data privacy, international communications, the transmission of technical or personal data and any applicable U.S. export control laws;

Put another way, if you do not complete the actions described above, Providers will not have a responsibility to provide any care to you, as a valid patient-provider relationship will not have been formed.

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. 

13. DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK – HEALTHCARE SERVICES 

A. The healthcare services (including, as applicable, mental or behavioral health services) that you use or access through the MeMD Service are provided by Providers, not the MSO, and they’re provided at each Provider’s sole discretion and medical judgment. The MSO does not engage in the practice of medicine. The MSO’s role is limited to making the MeMD Service available to you, which simply provides a system to facilitate communication with the Providers using MeMD’s owned or licensed health information database and software. 

 

B. While the MeMD Entities may make certain Content available to you related to the healthcare services that you use or access using the MeMD Service, you should discuss the Content with your Provider or other licensed healthcare professional and confirm any facts that are important to your situation or decision. CONTENT IS NOT INTENDED TO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND ADVICE OF A PROVIDER, AND IT DOES NOT COVER ALL POSSIBLE USES, PRECAUTIONS, SIDE EFFECTS, AND INTERACTIONS, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED TO INDICATE THAT ANY DRUG IS SAFE OR EFFECTIVE FOR YOU. CONSULT THE PRODUCT INFORMATION (INCLUDING PACKAGE INSERTS) REGARDING DOSAGE, PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND INTERACTIONS, AND YOUR PROVIDER FOR GUIDANCE BEFORE USING ANY PRESCRIPTION OR OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUG. 

 

THE MeMD ENTITIES ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CONSEQUENCE RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO ANY ACTION OR INACTION YOU TAKE BASED ON THE CONTENT OR MeMD SERVICE. 

C. While the MSO uses standard procedures designed to verify the state and national (NPI, DEA) licensing status for all Providers who have entered into a contract with MeMD, some other Providers whose services may be offered to you as part of a subscription or bundled services package by your employer, health plan, physician, using the MeMD Service may not have entered into a contract with MeMD and you are responsible for verifying the state and national (NPI, DEA) licensing status for all such Providers. 

 

D. 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 using the MeMD Service. MeMD is not responsible for providing you additional services purchased via a subscription or bundled services package. 

 

E. 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 the “Virtual Primary Care” service line where the Provider has explicitly agreed to assume that role). Consultations through the MeMD Service treat the majority of common medical and behavioral health conditions, however some 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. 

 

F. 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 certain medications, including 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 they conduct a mental health assessment (also sometimes called an intake or initial assessment) for 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 generally do not prescribe more than a 90-day refill within a 6-month period. 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. 

 

 

G. 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. 

 

H. 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 8 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. 

 

I. 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” or via third-party service providers contracted for such purposes, unless specified otherwise. MeMD will not publish any part of your name and will with the comments and will only identify the state of requested service. 

 

J. 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. 

 

K. 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. 

 

14. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY 

A. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ANY OF THE MeMD ENTITIES BE LIABLE:

(i) IN ANY WAY FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF, OR SUBSCRIPTION TO, THE MeMD SERVICE OR ANY OF ITS CONTENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT, INFRINGEMENT BY ANY CONTENT OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHER RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF OR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE MeMD SERVICE; OR 

(ii) FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA ON YOUR COMPUTER, FILE CORRUPTION, WORK STOPPAGE, OR LOSS OF SECURITY OF MATERIALS (INCLUDING UNAUTHORIZED INTERCEPTION BY THIRD PARTIES) ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE MeMD SERVICE, WHETHER IN ANY ACTION IN WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, MALPRACTICE, OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE MeMD SERVICE. 

 

 

B. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE MeMD ENTITIES FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE LOWER OF (I) $100.00 OR (II) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO MeMD IN THE ONE MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE 

 

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. 

15. INDEMNIFICATION 

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the MeMD Entities, and all Providers whose information is provided through the MeMD Service, and their respective employees, subcontractors, agents, vendors, suppliers, and licensors harmless from and against any and all rights, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, claims, causes of action, actions, suits, fees (including attorneys’ fees and expert fees), and costs of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with: (i) your use of and subscription to the MeMD Service (including your submission of any information to MeMD or the Providers in connection with the MeMD Service); (ii) your violation of these Terms of Use or any policy set forth in these Terms of Use; and (iii) your violation of any applicable laws and regulations or rights of any third party.

17. ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE IN CONTROL 

Your obligations and rights under these Terms of Use may not be assigned by you without the prior written approval of MeMD. MeMD may transfer its rights and obligation to an affiliate or third-party without prior notice to you or your consent. Any purported assignment made in violation of this section shall be void. 

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; GOVERNING LAW 

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

If the dispute is not resolved, within 60 days of a party providing notice to the other party, both parties agree that the unless the dispute qualifies for a small claims court it will be resolved through individual, non-representative, binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of a proceeding in courts of general jurisdiction. In an arbitration proceeding, there is no judge or jury. Disputes are instead decided by a neutral third-party arbitrator and is administered by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by MeMD that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. In arbitration, there is limited discovery and the arbitrator’s decision is subject to limited review by courts. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court with appropriate jurisdiction. Each party is responsible for its respective costs, including costs related to its respective attorneys, experts, and witnesses. These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed under the laws of State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.
