If you have questions about your health or about any treatments, regimens, or medication you are considering, please contact a licensed healthcare professional.

All healthcare or medically related information shared by Healsbridge via any channel are for informational and communicative purposes only.

4. Healsbridge Does Not Endorse or Refer

Healsbridge is a marketplace for health care and services, so many of the Sellers on our Healsbridge Site are licensed Healthcare Providers or business entities selling medical products or services. Healsbridge (a) does not employ, refer, recommend, or endorse any Healthcare Providers, test, procedure, opinion, or other information that may appear through the Healsbridge Site or Services; (b) does not make any representations or warranties with respect to these Healthcare Providers or the quality of the services or products they may provide; (c) is not responsible for ensuring that information (including credentials) a Healthcare Provider provides about himself/herself/themselves is accurate or up-to-date, (d) is not responsible for making sure that Healthcare Providers’ services are actually provided or are up to a certain standard of quality, and (e) does not receive any additional fees from Healthcare Providers for featuring them (i.e., higher or better placement in search results) through the Services. While Providders are subject to the Terms of Use and Seller’s Agreement as users of our Services, we don’t control the actions of any Healthcare Providers and Healthcare Providers.

If you rely on any content from Healsbridge to select a Healthcare Provider, service or product, you do so solely at your own risk. We encourage you to independently confirm any content relevant to you with other sources, including the Healthcare Provider’s office, medical associations relevant to the applicable specialty, your state medical boards, and the appropriate licensing or certification authorities to verify listed credentials and education.

5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Provider Relationships and Provider Listings

You are solely and ultimately responsible for choosing your own Healthcare Provider, service, or product, and for verifying any information about the Healthcare Provider’s experience, qualifications, and licenses and certifications that may impact your care.

5.1 Provider Relationships. All healthcare providers with active medical licenses in good standing are eligible for Healsbridge Services. Healthcare providers choose which Services in which to participate, which products or services to list and at what price, what availability to display, if any, and the number of customers/patients to whom they will sell subscriptions to their practice. Healsbridge is not party to any communications, negotiations, or transactions between Providers and Customers. Healsbridge provides the Services to facilitate discovery, marketing, communications, booking, and payment. Healsbridge receives a percentage of all product and service sales transaction as payment for use of the Healsbridge Services.

Some Healthcare Providers and Sellers of healthcare products listed through the Services enter into contracts with us, and may pay us fees in order to be marketed through or to use the Services.

We may show you advertisements or sponsored results (“Sponsored Results”) through the Services, including above or interspersed within the search results. Healsbridge receives additional fees from Healthcare Providers for including them in Sponsored Results, and such Sponsored Results are not, and should not be considered, an endorsement, referral or recommendation by Healsbridge of the Healthcare Provider. Sponsored Results are conspicuously labeled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Ad” in the Services.

5.2 Provider Listings. Healsbridge is committed to providing you with maximum choice and diversity of Providers and Vendors. To help you find Healthcare Providers and Vendors who meet your needs, Healsbridge will provide you with lists and/or profiles that will be included in search results based on information you enter or provide, including geographical location, healthcare specialty, language, provider availability, and service type.

6. No Provider-Patient Relationship

Healthcare professionals, including but not limited to, physicians, nurses, dentists, therapists, and other professionals (collectively, “Sellers”), use the Healsbridge Sites and Services to share content and to offer their professional services and products for sale.

No licensed professional healthcare provider-patient relationship is created between you and Healsbridge when you access this content via our Site or Services, or any other channel. If you make a purchase or receive advice from a licensed professional on the Site or using our Services, you are creating a relationship with the Sellers, the terms of which you and the Seller will agree upon.

Healthcare Providers must use our Site and Services responsibly, but we have no control over, and but Healsbridge does not guarantee any content, availability, or advice provided by any Healthcare Provider via our Site or Services. Further, we will not be liable for product defects, unfulfilled orders, cancelled or otherwise unfulfilled appointments, or any injury or loss resulting therefrom, or for any other injury or loss resulting or arising from, or related to, the use of the Services whatsoever.

7. Accuracy of Provider and Seller Information

Healsbridge or its designee takes certain limited steps to (a) verify that Healthcare Providers and Vendors participating in the Services hold certain active licenses, certifications or registrations required by law to practice the specialties of the services offered by them through the Services, and (b) verify that Healthcare Providers are not listed in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General Exclusion database (https://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov/). Healsbridge may also exclude Healthcare Providers from our Services who, in Healsbridge’s discretion, have engaged in inappropriate or unprofessional conduct (including, but not limited to, conduct in violation of our Community Policy). If you want to verify the status of Healthcare Provider’s license or a Seller’s business license, or to check to see if she/he/they are in good standing, Healsbridge recommends that you contact your state’s medical and business license verification service (see Resources).

Information about Healthcare Providers and their practices, medical advice or healthcare related content, and information included in product or service listings, including subscriptions, procedures, tests, and appointments, are created by the Healthcare Providers and/or their office staff. We make efforts to confirm that Healthcare Provider information conforms with our Terms of Use and Sellers Agreement, we do not guarantee that this information is complete and accurate at all times. Questions regarding such information or content should be directed to the Healthcare Provider directly.

7.1 Subscriptions, Products, Services & Procedures. Subscriptions, Products, Services and Procedures marketed through the Services are not applicable to all individuals or all clinical situations. Any procedures, products, services or devices represented through the Services by advertisers, sponsors, and other users of the Services, either paid or unpaid, are presented for your awareness and do not necessarily imply, and we make no claims as to, safety or appropriateness for any particular individual or prediction of effectiveness, outcome or success. Speak to a Healthcare Provider to ensure a procedure, product, or service is appropriate for you.

8. Medical Information

You may elect to enter certain medical information into the Services on behalf of yourself or a third party from whom you have authorization when requesting an appointment or inquiring about a product or service listing. Medical information about individual customers/patients is not shared with Providers and other Sellers is not shared with Healsbridge. You acknowledge that all information that you provide to Healsbridge, and any aggregated, de-identified data provided to us by Healthcare Providers and Sellers, may be used by Healsbridge in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Upon a request by us, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Healsbridge Parties from all liabilities, claims, damages (actual and consequential), demands, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that arise from or are related to (a) your use of the Services; or (b) the violation of this Agreement (including without limitation these Terms of Use, the Acceptable Use Policy, and Community Standards); or (c) the violation of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity; or (d) by any person using your Credentials without authorization. The foregoing indemnification obligation does not apply to liabilities, claims and expenses arising as a result of our own gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

18. ARBITRATION

We hope that we can work out any disagreements you might have with Healsbridge. But if there is a dispute that needs to be further resolved, that process will take place according to this section. Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully, because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Healsbridge and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from Healsbridge.

Both you and Healsbridge acknowledge and agree that for the purpose of any dispute arising out of relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use, Healsbridge’s officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms of Use, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Use against you as a third-party beneficiary hereof.

18.1 Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating arbitration. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Delaware. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

18.2 Cost of Arbitration. The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Healsbridge will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than fifty thousand ($50,000) dollars. Healsbridge will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

18.3 Small Claims Court; Infringement. Either you or Healsbridge may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Delaware or any United States county where you live or work. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

18.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND HEALSBRIDGE WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and Healsbridge are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Healsbridge over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND HEALSBRIDGE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

16.5 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. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Healsbridge is entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below.

16.6 Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Healsbridge, Attn: Legal, 4409 Shattuck Avenue, #3344, Oakland, CA 94609 postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement.

16.7 Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in Section 17.6, and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Healsbridge to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and Healsbridge agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Delaware, or the federal district in which that county falls.

16.8 Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Healsbridge.

You hereby consent to receiving such communications for transactional, operational, or informational purposes, and you represent and warrant that each person you register for the Services or for whom you provide a wireless phone number has consented to receive communications from Healsbridge.

If you change or deactivate the phone number you provided to Healsbridge, you have an affirmative obligation to update your account information and the phone number(s) attached to your account to prevent us from inadvertently communicating with anyone who acquires any phone number(s) previously attributed to you, and any new phone number(s) you attach to your account may receive Healsbridge’s standard SMS messages unless you also unsubscribe via the above procedures.

17.3 Limitation of Claims. No action arising under or in connection with this Agreement, regardless of the form, may be brought by you more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose; actions brought thereafter are forever barred.

17.4 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired. Further, the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a provision that comes closest to the intention of the parties that underlie the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, except to the extent no such provision is valid, legal and enforceable, in which case such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

17.5 Governing Law; Language. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Delaware, without giving effect to the state’s conflicts of law statute. This Agreement and all documents referenced herein were drafted in the English language and any translations thereof shall not be binding on either party to the extent they conflict with the English versions.

17.6 Entire Agreement; Waiver

This Agreement and any supplemental terms, policies, rules and guidelines posted through the Services, each of which are incorporated herein by reference, including the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy and the Community Standards, constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede all previous written or oral agreements. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

17.7 Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not form a part hereof, and in no way limit, define, describe, modify, interpret or construe the meaning, scope or intent of this Agreement or any terms or conditions therein.

17.8 Assignment. We may assign this Agreement at any time, including, without limitation, to any parent, subsidiary, or any affiliated company, or as part of the sale to, merger with, or other transfer of our business or any assets to another entity. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense this Agreement to anyone else and any attempt to do so in violation of this section shall be null and void.
