Our Service provides access to prescription fulfillment services offered by the following pharmacies: Akina Pharmacy (the “Pharmacies”).

These medical groups employ or contract with physicians who offer certain healthcare services through the Platform (“Physicians”). By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that any services you receive from the Pharmacies, Medical Groups or Physicians through the Platform are also subject to this Agreement, and that the Pharmacies, Medical Groups and Physicians are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

With respect to the Pharmacies, the Medical Groups and the Physicians, we act solely as a technology platform to connect you with the products and services offered by the Pharmacies, Medical Groups and Physicians through the Service. We do not control or interfere with the practice of medicine by the Medical Groups or any Physicians, each of whom is solely responsible for the medical care and treatment he or she provides to you. PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. makes no representations or warranties about the suitability, reliability, timeliness or accuracy of the medical care and treatment provided by the Medical Groups or any Physicians. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. is not a healthcare company and that by using the Service, you are not entering into a doctor-patient or other health care Physician-patient relationship with PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. By using the Service, you may, however, be entering into a doctor-patient or other health care Physician-patient relationship with the Medical Group and/or one or more Physicians.

By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that, the Medical Group and/or Physicians may send you messages, reports, and emails via the Service regarding your diagnosis and/or treatment. You further understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to monitor and respond to these messages, reports, and emails and that neither PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. nor the Medical Group nor any Physician will be responsible in any way and you will not hold PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., Pharmacies, Medical Group or any Physician 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 Medical Group or your Physician(s).

While you are not establishing a doctor-patient or other health care Physician-patient relationship with PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., by using the Service, you are establishing a direct customer relationship with PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. to use the Platform and to purchase any non-prescription products or non-medical services sold directly to you by PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. through the Platform. 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 Policy. Please refer to the “Privacy Policy” section and the “Protected Information” section below for additional information. Notices to you from PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC will be made by email.

3.7 Financial Responsibilities for Services. PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., the Medical Groups, and the Physicians are not enrolled with or a participating Physician with any federal or state or private healthcare programs (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid, Humana) for the provision of any healthcare services or supplies and, as such, neither you nor PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., the Medical Groups, nor the Physicians may receive payment from such programs for the services or products provided to you by PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., the Medical Groups, or the Physicians. Further, to the extent that any of the Pharmacies, Medical Groups, or Physicians may be enrolled in federal or state healthcare programs, the Platform and other means through which PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. provides services and products currently precludes such services and products from being covered benefits under these programs. Thus, the costs of the products and services made available to you by PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. and the Pharmacies, Medical Groups, and Physicians are not eligible for payment under any federal or state healthcare program and you are solely responsible for the costs of any service or product provided to you.

By agreeing to use the Service, you acknowledge and agree that (1) you have sole financial responsibility for all services or products provided to you, and (2) neither you nor PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., the Medical Groups or the Physicians may submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal or state healthcare program for the costs of the services and products provided to you.

3.8 Subscription Products. Certain products available for purchase through the Service require that you purchase the product on a subscription basis. For subscription-based products, your payment device will be automatically charged at regular intervals as described for that product during the checkout process. You may cancel a subscription at any time up to forty-eight (48) hours before the applicable monthly processing date of your subscription by emailing: contact@physicianpromise.com

In order to simplify the user experience on the Platform, you will only see and be required to pay a single “total” subscription price. However, if a subscription product you purchase required a consultation with a Physician and/or includes a prescription product that you fill through one of the Pharmacies, then the total price you pay includes the amount charged by the Pharmacy for the prescription drug and the amount charged by the Medical Group for the services of the Physician, as well as the amount we charge use of and access to the Platform. We collect the amounts charged by the Pharmacies and the Medical Groups on behalf of the Pharmacies and Medical Groups and pass the applicable amounts to them.

3.9 Prescription Products. Certain products available through the Platform require a valid prescription by a licensed healthcare Physician. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Physicians through the Platform, the Physician has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you and the Physician has written a prescription via e-prescribe capabilities. If a Physician determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, you will receive information about your options for filling the prescription. Certain prescriptions can be filled through one of the Pharmacies by using the Platform (or you may fill the prescription at any pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Service or emailing contact@physicianpromise.com. Prescriptions fulfilled by the Pharmacies do not use child-resistant packaging and prescription products will not be dispensed in child-resistant containers. If you complete a consultation with a Physician and fill a prescription through one of the Pharmacies, the prescription product will be shipped to you by the applicable Pharmacy and the costs associated with the prescription are included in the total charged to you by the Service as described in the “Subscription Products” section above. If you fill a prescription with a pharmacy other than the Pharmacies, the Service will send the prescription to your selected pharmacy, but you will be responsible for picking up or otherwise obtaining the prescription product and paying the pharmacy directly for the cost of the prescription product.

3.10 Inappropriate via Telemedicine. The Service may not be the most appropriate way for you to provide information and seek medical care via Physicians. Certain medical conditions may require an in-person procedure or another healthcare professional other than the Physician, or your Physician may determine that your diagnosis and/or treatment requires an in-person office visit or are otherwise not appropriately addressed through use of the Service. In such a case, you may receive notification that you will be unable to use the Service for the particular issue you submitted and providing additional information regarding next steps.

3.11 Consent for Use of Telemedicine. Telemedicine involves the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a Physician and a patient who are not in the same physical location. There are risks associated with telemedicine. The Telemedicine services are not a substitute for in-person health care in all cases. In order to use the Service, you will be required to review and agree to an informed consent regarding the use of Telemedicine (the “Consent to Treatment Form”) that will be provided to you via the Platform. You agree that PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. is a third-party beneficiary of the Patient Consent and has the right to enforce it against you. You are responsible for providing and maintain at your own risk and expense software and hardware needed to participate in telemedicine.

Certain parts of the platform will require providing medical information that is protected under applicable laws. PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, “HIPAA”). One or more of the Pharmacies or Medical Groups may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Pharmacy or Medical Group. It is important to remember that, while state-specific privacy laws may apply, HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., the Medical Groups, the Physicians or the Pharmacies. To the extent PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. is deemed a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to the Medical Group (“PHI”). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under our Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA.

The Medical Groups and Physicians have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Physician(s).

By using the Service, you are agreeing that even if HIPAA does apply to PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., the Medical Groups, the Physicians or the Pharmacies, any information that you submit to PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC. that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Physicians or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies, is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information.

10.2 Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.

(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent to: 15 Barron Hill Road, Easton, Pennsylvania 18042. After the Notice is received, you and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

(c) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that the Company made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, the Company will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Before you commence arbitration of a Dispute, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username (if applicable) and email address associated with your User account (if applicable), a detailed description of the Dispute, and the relief you seek. Before we commence arbitration of a Dispute against you, we will provide a written Notice of Dispute to you with a detailed description of the Dispute and the relief we seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be mailed to PHYSICIAN PROMISE, INC., 15 Barron Hill Road Easton, PA 18042, ATTN: Dispute Notice. If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within 30 days after the applicable Notice of Dispute is received, either party may commence arbitration.

(d) Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

(e) Time Limits. If you or the Company pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.

(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.

(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

(h) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

(i) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

(j) Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(k) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

(l) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Company.

(m) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the Company may bring an individual action in small claims court.

(n) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

(o) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

(p) Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Northampton County, Pennsylvania, for such purpose
