Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: November 24, 2023

This Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Dr Telx LLC, a Washington State Limited Liability Company doing business as “Dr Telx” and me, the Client identified below (“I,” “me” or “Client”) as of the date identified below. This Agreement sets forth the contractual rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the services (the “Services”) provided by Company described below. This Agreement applies to my use of Company’s technology platform for virtual telehealth services (the “Platform”) (including any content therein) and the Services, including any new versions, updates, supplements, and support services Company makes available. By utilizing the Services, I accept the terms of this Agreement. If I do not accept them, I may not use the Platform or access the Services.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. GRANT OF LICENSE: Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Company grants me, and I hereby accept from Company, a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license (without a right of sublicense) to access and use the Services and Platform and any user documentation related to the Services which is made available to me from time to time by Company, exclusively for my internal use, subject to the following conditions. Company reserves the right, for any reason, in its sole discretion to terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Services (including, without limitation, content, features, hours of availability, or pricing), my access to or use of the Services, or remove any of my content, at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all, without notice and without penalty. Company MAY, AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME-TO-TIME, CHANGE THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. ANY CHANGES WILL BE POSTED ON THE SITE. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS OF ANY MODIFICATION TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT BY SENDING A TERMINATION NOTICE TO COMPANY AT support@drtelx.com PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE AMENDMENT. ANY TERMINATION WILL BE EFFECTIVE UPON THE DATE COMPANY RECEIVES SUCH NOTICE. CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICES BY YOU WILL CONSTITUTE COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE OF THE THEN-CURRENT VERSION OF THIS AGREEMENT POSTED ON THE COMPANY SITE. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, any provisions which by their nature show they were intended to survive, including without limitation, provisions relating to ownership, confidentiality, indemnification, disclaimers and limitations of liability shall survive any such termination.

2. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: I understand that the Platform and Services may not accurately process the data I provide about myself, and the reports provided through the Platform or the Services, if any, may not be accurate. Company is not obligated to update or modify, in any manner, this or any later version of the Platform or the Services. Furthermore, Company is not responsible to provide any support to me in connection with my use of the Platform or the Services. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Company and its suppliers provide the Services, and any technical advice or support services related thereto, AS IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS, and hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions, either express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any (if any) implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, of non-infringement, of fitness for a particular purpose, of lack of viruses, of accuracy or completeness of responses, of results, and of lack of negligence or lack of workmanlike effort, all with regard to the Platform and the Services and the provision of or failure to provide technical or other support services.

3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: In no event shall Company, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors, and all affiliated entities or personnel be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, exemplary, punitive special damages or any damages whatsoever whether arising from breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence or any other legal theory, whether in tort or contract, even if such party has been apprised of the likelihood of such damages occurring, including without limitation, damages from interruption of business, loss of income or opportunities, loss of use of the Services, loss of data, cost of recreating data or cost of capital. My sole and exclusive remedy for any harm under this Agreement shall be to cease using the Services. These limitations will apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to certain users. I agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Company and its officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees from and against any claims that arise from or relate to my breach of this Agreement or any other term required as a condition of use of the Platform, as well as for claims against Company related to care provided.

4. CONSENT TO COMPANY’S FOCUSED APPROACH: In seeking the Services of Company, I acknowledge that Company delivers care virtually and is focused on the use of technology to guide clients in predicting health risks and identifying personalized treatment and prevention strategies. In entering into this Agreement, I acknowledge that this is a distinctive and highly focused approach and is not intended to take the place of my primary care and specialist physicians. If I do not consult my doctors on information I receive from the Company, I may be foregoing standard of care or evidence-based recommendations that may have negative health consequences. It is my responsibility to arrange for appropriate medical consultations and care directly with other physicians whose specialties are distinct from Company’s offerings. The potential risks associated with Company’s approach include lack of sufficient testing, questionable efficacy of recommended strategies to constitute “evidence-based” medicine; or delay in my seeking other treatment based on unvalidated or scientifically unsupported practices. At all times, I understand and agree to maintain a primary care physician at my own expense and such other specialists, that my primary care physician may recommend or are appropriate for my health needs. I agree to consult my primary care physician and not Company to provide or refer to emergent and urgent care if needed. I understand that Company makes no representations, claims, or guarantees that my medical problems or conditions will be cured, solved, or helped by the Services.

5. CONSENT TO TELEHEALTH: I acknowledge that, as reflected in Company’s Telehealth Authorization and Consent, Company provides telehealth services, meaning that Company services are provided virtually to me after my creation of an account, provision of information, payment, review of data, and consultation, all of which are prerequisites to Company determination that I am a good candidate for Company Services. Company reserves the right to decline or terminate service at any point for any reason. Using Company’s Platform or visiting Company website and making payment do not establish a provider-patient relationship or duty. Please note that the content on Company website and that Company provides is for information purposes only and does not constitute professional medical advice. I acknowledge that my failure to seek in-person care or care from a primary care physician may result in delay or failure to identify a medical condition that needs further investigation or immediate treatment that I need. I understand that although Company uses reasonable efforts to safeguard my privacy and the confidentiality of all health information, Company cannot make any guarantees. I understand that Company will provide detailed information to help me and my doctor make an informed decision about how to manage my health. I understand that medicines, supplements, or treatments that Company may recommend, including over-the-counter medicines and supplements, can cause serious side effects and adverse events that include severe allergic reaction, permanent disability, and death. I understand that it is my responsibility to make an informed decision whether to accept a proposed treatment plan after weighing the risks and benefits of the proposed treatment plan with my primary care physician and/or other doctors, considering alternative treatment options and the risks and benefits of such alternatives, and the option of not seeking any treatment. I understand the importance of reading the manufacturer’s leaflet that comes with a medicine, including an over-the-counter or behind-the-counter medicine, before taking a medicine because this leaflet includes important information about risks and warnings. I understand that adverse events can be caused by a number of things, including an allergic reaction, side effects, or interactions between a medicine that the doctor prescribes and any medical conditions I may have, other prescription medicines or other things (e.g., supplements, herbs, over-the-counter medicines, or recreational drugs) I am taking, and lifestyle choices such as smoking tobacco products or drinking alcohol.

6. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES: I acknowledge and understand that I am voluntarily becoming a Client of Company and that this agreement is non-transferable and will govern my relationship for all Services provided by Company for my care. I acknowledge and understand that this Agreement does not provide health insurance coverage, is not a contract of insurance and that it provides only access to the particular Services specifically described herein, subject to Company policies. I acknowledge and understand that I am responsible for any charges incurred for healthcare services received outside of Company. In order to receive the best possible care, I agree to be actively involved in my care decisions and to disclose all relevant information to Company to achieve my health goals. I also agree to inform Company of care received elsewhere. I agree to maintain insurance coverage to obtain hospital or catastrophic services if needed. I acknowledge that, in an emergency, I must call 911 immediately before contacting Company and seek any needed emergency care without waiting for Company to respond.

7. HEALTH INFORMATION: I acknowledge and understand that Company maintains a record of my health information and protects the privacy of my health information as per the terms of the accompanying Notice of Privacy Practices.
